Removal of Brown Spots
At Ginza Coquelicot Clinic, we employ the Q-switch YAG Medlite procedure for the removal of brown spots, birthmarks and tattoos. The Medlite laser procedure offers patients the safest and the least invasive way to effectively minimize the appearance of pigmentation in any skin type.
Medlite Nd:YAG
Process
① Anesthetic cream is applied on the area to be treated.
② The doctor irradiates the area with the laser.
(You may feel a tingling sensation during the procedure.)
③ The color of the treated area becomes white in the beginning, then changes to dark red. The dark red area turns into a scab on the same day or the next day after the treatment.
④ The color of the scab darkens a few days after the treatment.
⑤ The scab comes off by itself in about 10 days. The color of the skin must be pink after the scab has gone away. (We ask patients to make another appointment during this phase).
⑥ After 14 days, the treated area merges into the other area of the skin and becomes invisible. You will need to continue using sun screen during the daytime, and some patients may need to use prescribed whitening cream at night.
