Beauty Methods

1. Laser freckle removal

Laser freckle removal means that without damaging normal skin, a light beam of a specific wavelength is passed through the epidermis, reaching the root of the freckle accurately, destroying pigment cells and pigment particles. The fragments are then processed and absorbed by the body's macrophages, which is safe and leaves no scars. After laser spot removal, the treated area should be kept clean and dry, and avoid sunlight exposure to ensure that the skin after laser treatment is beautiful and lasting without rebound effect. Especially for the treatment of freckles, after thorough laser treatment, they will basically not grow again.

2. IPL freckle removal

IPL freckle removal is a strong pulsed light source that is particularly suitable for the treatment of Asians and other pigmented skin types. The principle of photorejuvenation is to act on some superficial pigments and smaller molecular pigments on the skin to gently decompose and dissolve them, thereby reducing superficial spots on the skin. Then it acts on deep pigments and pigments with larger molecules. Its unique wide-spectrum therapeutic light enters the skin, causing the pigments and pigment cells in the spots to heat, solidify and wither, and are metabolized and excreted from the body, removing them more thoroughly, cleanly and comprehensively, thereby achieving the ideal spot removal effect.

3. Photon freckle removal

Photon freckle removal is achieved through a brand new series of color photon heads, multi-spectrum light of different colors, and adjustable laser energy, which target different skin blemish problems respectively, and have a more prominent skin rejuvenation effect; it is specially designed for Orientals and is more suitable for their characteristics. This method uses the latest plasma cathode emission technology to more strictly control the output of specific spectrum, making the skin rejuvenation effect better and safer.
