Skin blemishes, such as melasma , freckles , and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation , are common causes of aesthetic concern. They can arise due to various factors: excessive sun exposure, hormonal changes (pregnancy, use of contraceptives), genetic inheritance, acne , among others. These blemishes, often resistant to creams and superficial peels, can harm self-esteem and psychological well-being.
Fortunately, technological advancements in lasers and pulsed light have enabled the development of efficient solutions for brightening and evening skin tone. This is precisely the focus of the Laser Sciton procedures offered by [Company Name]. Instituto Face Mi is the only aesthetic medicine clinic in Braga that has state-of-the-art laser equipment to treat blemishes safely and in a personalized way.
Why do spots appear on the skin ?
Melanin is the pigment responsible for the color of skin, hair, and eyes . Its production is stimulated by ultraviolet rays (UVA/UVB) and blue light, which is why we tan after sun exposure. However, sun exposure has a phototoxic effect and causes premature aging of our skin, thus leading to the appearance of blemishes, due to an imbalance in the production and distribution of melanin.
Some of the most common types of stains:
Melasma : characterized by dark, usually symmetrical areas on the face (cheekbones, forehead, upper lip). It is influenced by hormones, genetics, and sun exposure.
Solar lentigines (age freckles): brownish spots that appear on areas exposed to the sun, such as the face, hands, and arms, especially after the age of 40.
Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation: spots that appear after an inflammatory process, such as acne or minor injuries.
BBL HEROic™ Laser Treatment – BroadBand Light: Broad-spectrum pulsed light is highly effective in treating various pigmented lesions. The light energy is absorbed by melanin, promoting pigment fragmentation and resulting in gradual lightening of the spot.
Halo™ Laser Treatment : This fractional hybrid laser allows for targeted treatment of both superficial and deep skin layers, helping to treat blemishes that don't respond to conventional treatments, as well as improving skin quality and providing anti-aging benefits.
Why choose Sciton Laser treatments for blemishes?
High precision: adjustable systems that allow you to adjust the intensity and depth of the treatment.
Hybrid fractional technology: Halo™, for example, acts gently and effectively on multiple layers of the skin, enabling targeted treatment of the blemish without severely affecting adjacent tissues.
Proven safety: the equipment has been supported by scientific studies and approvals from leading health organizations.
Gradual and natural results: the improvement in skin uniformity and quality occurs progressively, respecting the healing process.
How does the laser procedure work?
The session begins with cleansing and preparing the skin. Depending on the type of blemish and the chosen technique, the professional adjusts the device so that the laser energy acts at the appropriate depth. Topical anesthetic and cold are always applied for greater patient comfort. There may be a slight warming or tingling sensation in the treated area, but it is generally very tolerable. In cases of greater sensitivity or higher treatment intensity, injectable anesthetic may be used.
After the procedure, it is common to feel a slight burning sensation and redness, which improve within a few days. Peeling may occur in more intensive treatments, allowing for cell renewal. The number of sessions varies according to the body's response and the severity of each blemish, but many people report significant improvements after the first few applications.
Post-laser treatment care
Strict sun protection: avoid direct sun exposure and use sunscreen with SPF 50 or higher.
Hydration and maintenance: creams and serums recommended by a doctor help to soothe the skin and enhance its recovery.
Medical follow-up: follow the recommendations and attend the check-ups to assess the response to treatment.
