FAQ
How does it work?
The process involves the following key steps:
Pigmentation treatments use targeted laser or light energy to break down excess pigment in the skin while improving overall skin clarity and rejuvenation. Depending on your skin concerns, treatment may be performed using the StarWalker® Pico Laser or IPL technology. The StarWalker® Pico Laser uses ultra-short pulses of energy to precisely target unwanted pigment while minimizing heat in the surrounding tissue, while IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) uses broad-spectrum light to target pigmentation and redness, helping improve sun damage and create a brighter, more even complexion.
Precision Targeting: The Fotona laser is meticulously adjusted to target the specific pigmented areas without affecting the surrounding skin. This precision is crucial for ensuring effective treatment while minimizing the risk of damage to unaffected skin.
Energy Absorption: The melanin in the pigmented cells absorbs the laser energy. This absorption causes the targeted cells to heat up and break down.
Controlled Ablation: The laser ablates the superficial layers of the skin, removing the damaged pigmented cells. This controlled ablation process is essential for encouraging the regeneration of fresh, unblemished skin.
Collagen Stimulation: Beyond pigmentation removal, the Micro Laser Peel stimulates collagen production in the deeper layers of the skin. This promotes overall skin rejuvenation, contributing to a smoother and more youthful complexion.

Downtime:
Downtime varies depending on the treatment selected and the intensity of the session. Some clients may experience temporary redness, warmth, mild swelling, or darkening of pigment before it naturally sheds. Recovery can range from minimal downtime to several days depending on the treatment approach.
Number of Treatments:
The number of treatments required varies depending on the depth and severity of pigmentation, skin type, and individual treatment goals. A series of treatments spaced several weeks apart is often recommended for optimal results and long-term skin improvement.
