Usually for mild to moderate hyperpigmentation dermatologists suggest a combination of cosmetic and dermatological treatments such as Cosmedermat facials.
Just like the use of cosmelan peels for depigmentation, cosmedermat facials are temporary with their results. Cosmelan is a topical treatment to reduce dark spots and even out skin tone. It is done by a professional.
What is the long-term cure then? It is the advanced scientific technologies that have recently revolutionised dermatology. They have become the treatments that contemporary dermatologists swear by!
Let us look deeper into Q-switch laser technology, Inno Peel and PicoCare.
Q-Switch
Advanced Laser Technology: Q-Switch is a laser technology which uses high-tech medical devices to perform. It is mainly used in dermatology and aesthetic medical treatments. Q-Switch emits high-intensity pulses of laser lights of very brief frequencies (short bursts of energy) while treating an area.
Nanosecond Pulse Duration: It operates on nanosecond pulses which makes sure that the targeting is precise enough, and does not cause any major damage to the neighbouring tissues.
Targeting Pigment Concerns: Q-switch is highly effective in treating hyperpigmentation issues like freckles, sun spots/ major tans/ sun burns, age spots and melasma. Interestingly, it is also used for removing unwanted tattoos (by breaking down the ink particles) within the skin.
Selective Photothermolysis: Q-switches function principally on selective photothermolysis. Its main and ideal target is the melanin (or ink in the case of a tattoo) which is heated by the laser exposure and then broken down to be discarded.
Minimal Damage to Surrounding Tissues: The lasers are best known for their precision targeting thus minimizing the risk of heat damage to the neighbouring tissues. This ensures zero serious drawbacks such as post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation or scar marks.
Multiple Wavelengths and Modalities: Ensure gold standard pigmentation treatments for yourself by choosing from the different wavelengths of the Q-switch treatment available. The therapeutic wavelengths include
Q-switched ruby laser: 694 nm
Q-switched Nd:YAG laser: 532 nm and 1064 nm
Q-switched alexandrite laser: 755 nm
The medical practitioner can customise the ideal variation based on your condition and skin characteristics. This is made easy with several permutations and combinations of intensities of Q-switch pigmentation treatments.
Collagen Stimulation: The search for skin treatments for glowing skin can be resolved by Q-switch. It's fundamentally skin-healing characteristic helps stimulate collagen production in the skin and thereby improves skin texture, firmness and shine gradually.
The newly gained elasticity helps to reduce the appearance of early wrinkles, acne scars and stubborn pigmentations.
Consultation and Aftercare: Laser-based pigmentation treatments should not be feared. There is counselling and consultation before the treatment for the medical practitioner to understand the patient's needs, vision and condition.
The treatment goal is laid in front and the treatment starts after the consenting patient is on the same page in understanding.
Aftercare is quite low maintenance, it is important to stick to the basics. Use sun protection and hydrate yourself often.
Inno Peel
Inno Peels consists of concentrated extracts that act as natural exfoliants and aid in active depigmentation. It helps exfoliate the damaged top layer of the skin and reveals it for healing and regeneration. These peels are rich in antioxidants and feature anti-agent agents like —
Vitamin A
Retinoic acid
Kojic acid
Salicylic acid
Shea butter
Licorice extract
Fruit pulp (for natural acidic property)
Phytic acid
Lactic acid
Orange stem cells
MDI complex that helps with pigmentation, intense hydration and skin brightening.
Skin Brightening Treatment: Pigmentation treatments having Inno Peels naturally target dark spots, patches, pigments and melasma to give you an even-toned skin. This treatment affects two consecutive layers of the skin — dermis and epidermis.
Exfoliation and Renewal: When dead skin cells are eliminated by exfoliating, the youthful skin underneath starts renewing itself. This process stimulates collagen fibre production, giving the skin the ideal plump and firmness.
Non-Invasive and Safe: Peel-centric pigmentation treatments are generally very safe and have no downtime. Inno Peel is non-surgical therefore at minimal risk and maximum popularity.
Hydrating Formula: Usually exfoliating peels make the skin very dry or flaky with micro cuts. The Inno Peel mitigates this by embracing the hydrating agents within its formula to replenish the moisture throughout the treatment and beyond.
Both Inno Peel and Tubelite Micropeel are therapeutic peels with a long-term effect. It rejuvenates the skin and restores its natural brightness. Give your skin a second chance with effective peels.
Pico Care
Coming back to the renaissance of laser technology in dermatology, Picosecond lasers are quite competent in fragmenting. The name is derived from its exposition frequency.
Already feeling confused between Q-switch and Pico Care as go-to pigmentation treatments? No worries, let's break out of monotony, here's a quick ideation of the core importance of Pico Care.
Speedy Results: Picosecond pulses treat the issue very fast and the post-treatment results show up very easily. The bigger catch is that, it requires fewer treatments compared to traditional laser treatments! You can almost call it a “shortcut to flawless skin”.
Instagram-Worthy Recovery: Already impatient to post the before-after transition post on Social Media of your healed new skin? Get awed by a recovery so dramatic that might be mistook as a ‘beauty filter' on Insta, hahaha!
Effortless Beauty Routine: With Picosecond laser pigmentation treatments, you'll spend less time fussing over concealers and colour correctors. Be more about skincare than makeup. Flaunt the natural glow!
Reverse Aging: Pico Care's collagen-stimulating powers don't just fade pigmentation; they turn back the clock on aging. Revel in your newfound radiance and keep the world busy guessing your age.
Feel-Good Factor: It is a very gentle treatment with no pain. Gain back your confidence and feel reborn with rejuvenated skin!
So why settle for anything less than PicoCare? It's not just a treatment; it's a lifestyle choice—a statement of self-care and confidence that speaks volumes.
