Unless you’re one of the few genetically blessed with flawless skin, you might have experienced, at some point in your life, certain skin conditions like acne, hyperpigmentation or wrinkles. Environmental factors, such as excessive exposure to sunlight, tobacco smoke, air pollution and even stress, may also play a part in worsening your skin woes.
But there is hope just yet. The Shining Bright Laser Program from DRx Medical Aesthetic Clinic is targeted to help treat a host of common skin conditions via the use of dual-wavelength lasers.
Here, Dr Angela Hwee of DRx Medical Aesthetic Clinic shares more about how this gentle, non-ablative laser treatment can benefit your skin.
What is the Shining Bright Laser Program?
Based on the Dual Yellow Laser, an established laser technology, the programme uses the latest 5mm handpiece that directs targeted laser energy deeper into the skin to deliver optimal results.
The programme helps to address vascular and skin abnormalities such as acne, as well as treat skin discoloration and increase skin luminosity.
How do the lasers work?
The Dual Yellow Laser uses a proprietary copper-bromide-based technology featuring two unique lasers of wavelength 578nm (yellow) and 511nm (green). These precise lasers are able to penetrate deep into the skin to treat problem areas without harming the skin outside the targeted area.
Equipped with Fast Edge Micropulse (FEM) technology, the lasers help to curb the production of melanin, the culprit responsible for hyperpigmentation conditions such as melasma.
FEM also stimulates the production of collagen and dermal tissue. This helps to minimise the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles as well as keep the skin firm and supple.
In addition, the lasers serve to stamp out the bacteria that causes acne and improve the appearance of inflammatory acne lesions by reducing redness.
Which areas can be treated with the Shining Bright Laser Program?
Nearly all the body areas, including the face and eye area, the neck, chest, back, hands, arms and legs, can be treated.
Who are suitable candidates?
The Shining Bright Laser Program is suitable for most skin types. People with acne or blemishes such as vascular thread veins and pigmented lesions will benefit from it, as will those seeking general skin brightening and rejuvenation.
Is the treatment painful?
The Shining Bright Laser Program is a gentle and painless procedure that does not require the application of numbing cream pre-treatment. As the treatment does not break the skin surface, there is no downtime. Patients can resume their normal activities immediately after the procedure. Those with sensitive skin may experience mild redness that fades in a few hours.
How many sessions are required for visible results?
Results can be observed immediately after one session and typically last between two and four weeks. Regular treatments are recommended for optimal skin rejuvenation.
