As we age, most experience an accumulation of age spots or freckles that appear on the face and body. To a large extent, hyperpigmentation and age spots can be attributed to too much exposure to the sun or other hormonal concerns. Even with diligent moisturising and collagen treatments to keep wrinkles at bay, age spots are difficult to fight. Fortunately, there are solutions such as the Harmony XL Pro System by Alma Lasers that will dramatically reduce or even eliminate hyperpigmentation and age spots in just 30 minutes.
What is Hyperpigmentation?
Hyperpigmentation is the darkening of an area of skin due to an overproduction of melanin. Melanin is the pigment that gives skin its colour. When there is an overproduction of melanin, it can cause the skin to become darker than its surrounding areas. Hyperpigmentation can occur anywhere on the body, but it is most commonly seen on the face, neck, hands, and arms.
Hyperpigmentation can range from mild to severe. Mild cases of hyperpigmentation may only be noticeable when the affected area is compared to unaffected areas of the skin. In these situations, hyperpigmentation can be easily covered with make-up. More severe cases may darken enough to become more noticeable in standard lighting, even when compared to unaffected areas of your skin. Hyperpigmented lesions that are dark enough to be prominent in standard lighting would also likely interfere with one’s ability to go out in public – facing annoying questions and comments from others.
What are the Causes of Hyperpigmentation?
There are many causes of hyperpigmentation, but the most common is sun exposure. Other causes can include inflammation, hormonal changes, and certain medications. Hyperpigmentation occurs when there is an excess production of melanin, the pigment that gives skin its colour. Sun exposure can trigger the overproduction of melanin, as can inflammation and certain medications. Hormonal changes can also cause hyperpigmentation, particularly in women during pregnancy or menopause.
Hyperpigmentation can be a cosmetic concern for many people, as it can give the skin an uneven appearance. The good news is that there are treatments available to help lighten age spots and other areas of hyperpigmentation. The Harmony XL Pro laser with ClearLift is one such treatment. ClearLift is a safe and effective laser treatment that can improve the appearance of hyperpigmented skin, and in many cases, even eliminate it.
How Does ClearLift Work?
While there are various topical treatments that can help to lighten the skin, many people are turning to laser treatments to get rid of hyperpigmentation. ClearLift is a laser treatment that uses targeted pulses of light to break up melanin and other pigments in the skin. This helps to even out the skin tone and gives the face a more youthful appearance.
ClearLift is a gentle treatment that does not require any downtime. Most people see a noticeable difference after just one session, though multiple sessions may be necessary for some people. If you are looking for a way to get rid of hyperpigmentation and give your skin a more even tone, ClearLift could be the right treatment for you.
The ClearLift Lunchtime Facelift treatment has become incredibly popular at S & S Aesthetics and is one of the most sought-after laser treatments, yielding fast, noticeable results even with just one session. Unlike other photo-rejuvenation laser treatments, you don’t have to wait until the pale winter months to schedule an appointment. The 30-minute age spot removal procedure can be done any time of year with no pain, downtime, or numbing required.
How Often Can You Be Treated?
Dark spots and hyperpigmentation will get darker initially for up to 7 days and then they will lighten up or vanish altogether. The laser boosts the skin’s natural healing process while improving collagen production with fast, long-lasting results. It only takes 3-4 sessions, approximately a month apart, to reclaim your youth with smooth, spotless skin.
The number of treatments you need will depend on the severity of your hyperpigmentation or age spots. In general, you will need 3-4 treatments to see significant results. However, some people may need more treatments depending on their skin condition.
If you have mild hyperpigmentation or age spots, you may be able to see results after just one treatment. However, if you have more severe cases, you may need multiple treatments spaced out over a few weeks or months.
Our doctors and medical aesthetic experts at S & S Aesthetics will work with you to create a treatment plan that is right for you. We will take into account the severity of your skin concerns and your overall health. We will also consider any other medical conditions you have that could impact your treatment plan.
Side Effects and Sensitive Skin Concerns
The Harmony XL Pro laser is a newer laser that is cleared by the FDA for treating hyperpigmentation and age spots. The main advantage of this laser over other lasers is that it uses a new technology called ClearLift, which is much more effective at targeting pigment cells without damaging the surrounding skin. This means that it can be used on very sensitive skin types, including people with dark skin, who are often not candidates for other types of laser treatments.
There are some mild side effects, such as redness and swelling, but these usually go away within a few minutes. Overall, the Harmony XL Pro laser is a safe and effective option for treating hyperpigmentation and age spots, along with many other skin concerns and indications.
Conclusion
The Lunchtime Facelift procedure with the Harmony XL Pro Laser and ClearLift is fast, effective, and virtually painless with no visible side effects, except for vanishing age spots. With a superb success rate, ClearLift is one of the most established laser treatments for skin renewal and anti-ageing.
