Description
Hyperpigmentation is the condition where patches of your skin becomes darker in colour abnormally. This is caused by the excess of melanin formed in a particular area on your skin. Melanin is the brown or dark coloured pigment. Hyperpigmentation can appear on your face, neck, chin, legs, hands, arms and on your back. Hyperpigmentation is usually treated using laser and can be done in a few quick sessions. Discuss with your doctor to see what treatment suits you best.

PicoSure® represents the cutting edge of a type of laser technology known as short-pulse lasers. These lasers are designed to “flash” incredibly quickly, in PicoSure®’s case in trillionths of a second. This rapid flashing minimizes the amount of heat and creates a photomechanical effect that’s highly effective in removing tattoo ink and unwanted pigment. PressureWave™ technology is applied by using a unique wavelength of light (755nm) and a specialized lens to convert laser energy into gentle pressure. This pressure squeezes cells, activating the natural cell signalling processes that create new collagen and elastin without burning or damaging the skin. PicoSure® doesn’t rely on heat to burn away and destroy skin to force the body to heal. PicoSure®’s ultra-fast pulses and specialized wavelengths work together to minimize the amount of heat that is transferred. Less heat means less damage to surrounding skin and less risk of injury.
