HYPER-
PIGMENTATION
Reduce unwanted sun damage and brown spots with the powerful Cynosure Elite laser
REVEAL CLEARER, MORE EVEN LOOKING SKIN
Sun damage and age spots can be caused by many different factors, but most commonly UV exposure and ageing. In addition, those suffering with breakouts may be left with stubborn post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation they want to be rid of. With Cynosure’s innovative laser treatments, you can remove these unwanted dark spots in just a few quick treatments.
HOW IT WORKS
The light energy from the laser converts to heat once absorbed by the excess melanin. This breaks down the pigment before it is disposed of by the lymphatic system.

The pigment will likely get darker after treatment and even more so as it rises to the surface of the skin. Once it reaches the surface it sloughs away as part of the skin’s natural cell turnover, revealing normal coloured skin underneath.
