Sun Damage, freckles, spots, lines and dry skin

When we are all young and go in the sun our skin cells produce melanin which is the tan color. Difference races of people have more melanin in their skin, usually this it to protect skin from the sun.

Melanin/color is a natural sun screen.

As people get older their skin no longer produces melanin normal and even, the skin becomes out of control due to years of UV radiation from the sun.

Examples are some skin cells producing too much melanin and others not enough. This causes skin with freckles and spots.

Explanation of how lasers can clear sun damage and improve skin texture.

1 – The Picolaser can target specific spots. The laser beam hits the melanin in the freckle or spot causing the cells to break up. The Melanin/color is released into the body.

The spot/freckle becomes more dark and looks like flakes of black pepper as this rises to the skin surface.

At the skin surface the color/melanin dries and over a few weeks forms a small scab and flakes off.

The result is the freckle or sun-spot was dissolved, ejected from body and skin is now clear from the spot.

2 – The IPL does the same thing except the lens is larger so covers a large area of skin.

3 – Normally, the IPL is used to cover a large area of skin while the Picolaser is used to target larger and more prominent spots.

4 – Think of mowing a grass lawn. The Picolaser targets specific weeds while the IPL mows the entire lawn.

5 – Depending on the amount of sun damage it can take 1 to 3 or 4 appointments to clear most spots and freckles with 3 to 6 weeks of time between appointments.

Example: If you have an appointment today you must allow the affected melanin/color time to rise to skin surface, dry and flake off before scheduling another appointing to continue this skin clearing process.

6 – The Picolaser 1064 can cause deeper layers of skin to produce more collagen. At same time the Picolaser 755 can stimulate collagen at skin surface.

And, a Dermapen or microneedling can cause surface skin to produce more collagen.

Increasing collagen causes skin to look more full and healthy. As skin becomes more full fine lines and small scars are stretched which makes them less noticeable.

7 – Same as coloring hair or going on a diet, once started you must continue this process maybe once every 3 to 6 months to maintain high collagen levels and clear any new sun damage as it forms.
