Image Example

Principle

A chemical solution is applied to the skin surface to promote exfoliation of the aged stratum corneum

Utilizes light therapy to enhance local blood circulation and accelerate skin metabolism

Selective photothermolysis rapidly fragments and vaporizes pigment particles in the skin

Through selective photothermolysis, target tissues such as pigment and blood vessels absorb the laser energy selectively

Mild acne, comedones

Acne, wound healing, skin inflammation

Facial redness, spider veins, and other vascular conditions

Telangiectasia, acne scars, traumatic scars
