The Q-switched Nd: YAG Laser is a powerful tool for treating deeper pigmented lesions. With its high-energy pulses, this laser targets deeper sun spots, age spots, and freckles, breaking down the excess pigment within the skin. It is particularly effective for benign pigmented lesions that are resistant to other treatments. The precision of the Q-switched Nd: YAG Laser ensures that surrounding skin is left unharmed, and the body naturally absorbs and eliminates the broken-down pigment. This makes it a go-to option for individuals seeking to treat more stubborn or deeper pigmentation concerns.

Age spots (senile lentigines)
Sun spots (solar lentigines)
Freckles (ephelides)
Deeper pigmented lesions
Tattoo removal (as an additional benefit)

IPL is a non-invasive treatment that uses broad-spectrum light to target both pigmented lesions and vascular issues. When used for pigmented spots, the light energy is absorbed by the excess pigment in the skin, breaking it down and gradually fading dark spots. This treatment is effective for a variety of skin concerns, including sun damage, freckles, and melasma. IPL also stimulates collagen production, improving overall skin texture and tone, making it an excellent option for those who want to treat spots while also rejuvenating the skin.
Best for:
Sun spots (solar lentigines)
Age spots (senile lentigines)
Freckles (ephelides)

The unique cooling technology of the Tetra CoolPeel reduces discomfort during the treatment, making it more comfortable compared to traditional CO2 resurfacing. This makes it a great option for individuals seeking to both treat pigmentation and improve overall skin texture and tone.
