What are Pigmented Lesions?

Melanin generated in the melanocytes is an important factor that determines skin color in humans. It plays a role in protecting the skin against UV rays. If melanin cells are exposed to strong UV rays over a long period time, more melanin is generated to protect the skin. If excessive melanin pigmentation builds up, pigmented lesions such as freckles, melasma or blemishes may appear. Pigmented lesions can occur for a variety of causes such as aging, heredity, hormones, stress, temperature changes, lack of sleep or UV rays.

How Can Pigmented Lesions be Treated With a Long Pulse 532nm(Photo-thermal Reaction)?

IRIS uses a Long Pulse Duration, while the Photo-thermal Reaction eliminates the denatured pigment. The high rate at which melanin absorbs 532nm wavelengths is effective for treating pigmented lesions such as freckles, age spots and liver spots. The melanin in the pigmented lesion absorbs thermal energy from the laser and becomes denatured after a certain period of time, leading to visible skin improvements.

How Does the Short Pulse 1064/532nm Treat Pigmented Lesions?

• 

  Multi-pulse enables giving much powerful peak power
  up to 7 sub-pulses in 100ns for dark skin type

• CuRAS is the perfect tool for treating a wide range of pigmented lesions, enabling treatment for everything from nevi(moles) and vascular lesions to ephelides, sunspots and melasma. Superficial lesions can be treated most effectively with the 532 nm wavelength, while the 1064 nm wavelength is used to target deeper lesions. For a difficult-to-treat condition such as melasma, CuRAS M1064 is especially effective due to the high power output of 2.1J with an optimal duration of 100ns, enabling it to break down the pigments without damaging the cells. This means that the pigment can be destroyed without ablating the skin – a unique feature that provides maximum safety with outstanding results.

How Does the CO₂ Laser Treat Pigmented Lesions?

Spots and pigmented lesions such as lentigo can be removed by using the Normal Mode(Surgical mode). Fractional Mode emits micro laser beams on the skin which make the skin tone brighter.
