The operator guides the light from the flash-lamp to the treatment area. The treatment system contains a dual mode filtering system that ensures that the light that is directed to your skin contains only clinically relevant wavelength. The treatment works by targeting the melanin (pigment in the skin) and the haemoglobin (redness in the skin). As the light is absorbed its converted into heat, which breaks down and destroys these cells, they then disappear almost immediately. The treatment aims to reduce sun damage, uneven pigmentation, open pores, age spots and redness.

For best results 1-3 treatments are recommended, depending on the severity of sun damage.

Tolerance of pain is very individual from person to person. No anaesthetics are required, and most people describe the sensation as similar to that of a rubber band snapping onto the skin.

The light used is completely safe, visible light. Potentially harmful wavelengths are removed by the unique dual mode filtering system.

Clinical trials documenting the system's safety and effectiveness are carried out by leading doctors prior to the release of the product. The results of these tests are then published in respected medical journals. The settings used for your treatment will be based on the settings recommended by the clinicians who carried out the clinical trials.
