What is Skin Conditioning?

Skin conditioning with laser treatment works by delivering light that is selectively absorbed by this melanin. As the pigment absorbs the light energy, it heats up and breaks apart into smaller fragments. These tiny particles then rise to the surface and naturally shed off, or they are cleared gradually through the body’s lymphatic system. The surrounding skin remains unaffected, thanks to a process called selective photothermolysis, which targets pigment without harming healthy tissue.

Pigmented lesion removal works well on most sun-damaged or hyperpigmented areas, including: Face, Chest, Hands, Arms, Shoulders, Back and Legs. Any area with concentrated pigmentation from UV damage, aging, or genetics can typically be treated—except very thin, delicate areas close to the eyes.
