With advanced technology and customisable treatment settings, Fotona QX Max is a trusted tool for achieving smoother, brighter, and more youthful-looking skin.
What is Laser Pigmentation Treatment?
Laser pigmentation treatment is a non-invasive procedure designed to reduce or eliminate unwanted pigmentation. It works by targeting the excess melanin responsible for dark spots or discoloration, breaking it down into smaller particles that the body naturally removes.
The Fotona QX Max is especially effective for:
• Sunspots
• Melasma
• Freckles
• Age spots
• Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation
This treatment is suitable for all skin types and can be performed on various body areas, including the face, hands, chest, and shoulders.
How Does Laser Pigmentation Treatment Work ?
The Fotona QX Max uses advanced Q-switch laser technology to deliver high-intensity energy in ultra-short pulses. This selective approach ensures the precise targeting of pigmented areas while minimising damage to surrounding tissues.
Steps in the Process:
Absorption of Laser Energy:
The laser energy is absorbed by melanin, the pigment responsible for dark spots.
Breakdown of Pigment:
The energy fragments the melanin into smaller particles.
Natural Elimination:
The body’s immune system removes the fragmented pigment over the following weeks, revealing clearer skin.
Collagen Stimulation (Optional):
In addition to removing pigment, the Fotona QX Max stimulates collagen production, improving skin texture and tone.
