The Nd:YAG laser can be used to address a wide variety of skin concerns. It is effective for laser hair removal, treatment of spider veins, hyperpigmentation, and skin rejuvenation. It is safe and effective for darker skin types.
Yes! Pigmentation is primarily an epidermis issue. Microneedling causes a healing cascade in the dermis (below the epidermis/ area of pigment) causing cell turnover, lightening areas of undesired pigment.
In fact, darker skin types may have exceptional responses to this treatment as melanin acts as a photo-stabilizer of collagen, further supporting the collagen induction therapy provided by microneedling.
Pre Care
24 hours before your treatment, discontinue products containing any exfoliating agents. For example:
If you have a history of herpes or cold sores, consider a course of antiviral medication prior to your treatment. This will prevent an outbreak of cold sores if you are prone to them. Cold sores can also occur for people who are not prone to them, but who have sensitive skin.
When possible, please avoid wearing makeup and/or jewellery to your appointment.
Post Care
