Introduction
In general, photorejuvenation can be used to fade melanin, but the effectiveness may vary among individuals. Photorejuvenation utilizes intense pulsed light of specific wavelengths that directly targets the melanin particles beneath the skin. After absorbing the light energy, the melanin particles are broken down and destroyed, and are subsequently gradually absorbed and eliminated by the body, thereby achieving the effect of lightening melanin.
The general reference price for photorejuvenation ranges from 3000 to 6000 yuan per session, and visible improvement is usually observed within 5-7 days. Generally, photorejuvenation can be used to lighten melanin, although the effectiveness may vary among individuals.
Photorejuvenation works by using intense pulsed light of specific wavelengths that directly targets pigment particles beneath the skin. After absorbing the light energy, the pigment particles are broken down and destroyed, then gradually absorbed and eliminated by the body, achieving the effect of lightening melanin.
Furthermore, because each person's skin type and melanin deposition condition vary, the specific treatment outcomes and required number of sessions will differ individually. Usually, 3-4 sessions are needed to lighten melanin. If the pigmentation is deeper or covers a larger area, more sessions may be required.
Before undergoing photorejuvenation treatment, patients must ensure they do not have any photosensitive diseases or other contraindications. After treatment, patients should strictly follow medical instructions for post-care, including avoiding sun exposure and using gentle moisturizing products, to minimize adverse reactions and maintain the treatment results.
