SKIN CONCERNS

What Types of Acne Scars Can Curas Hybrid Laser Treatment Treats?

Pigmentation Concerns

The Curas Hybrid Laser is effective in targeting various pigmentation issues. Using dual wavelengths, this treatment breaks down excess melanin deposits in both superficial and deeper skin layers. Conditions addressed include:

Hyperpigmentation: This treatment targets uneven patches of darkened skin caused by sun exposure, hormonal changes, or inflammation. By targeting melanin, it reduces the intensity of dark spots.

Melasma: Melasma appears as larger, patchy areas of dark skin, commonly on the face. The dual-wavelength technology enables treatment of melasma with minimal irritation, helping to create a more balanced complexion.

Freckles and Age Spots: The laser is highly effective at reducing the visibility of freckles and age spots, which are often caused by prolonged sun exposure, helping the skin appear clearer.

Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH): This type of pigmentation, often left behind after acne or injury, can be reduced as the laser’s energy helps to disperse melanin build-up, improving overall skin tone.

Surface-Level Acne Scars

The Curas Hybrid Laser can improve the appearance of certain types of acne scars by smoothing skin texture and reducing pigmentation associated with scarring. These include:

Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH) from Acne: For individuals with pigmentation left by acne, this laser targets melanin and reduces dark spots over time.

Mild Boxcar Scars: Shallow boxcar scars, often caused by inflammatory acne, may benefit from laser treatment. The laser’s energy promotes collagen production, gradually helping to fill and smooth the depressed areas, creating a more even texture.

Rolling Scars: This laser may also be helpful in treating mild rolling scars, which are characterized by wave-like skin depressions. The laser stimulates the deeper layers of the skin, promoting natural collagen and elastin formation, which may help to soften these scars over time.

Uneven Skin Texture and Tone

Beyond pigmentation and mild acne scarring, the Curas Hybrid Laser addresses general textural issues, enhancing overall skin clarity. By using both surface and deep wavelengths, this treatment:

Promotes Skin Clarity: The laser targets pigmentation irregularities and enhances clarity, helping to smooth out uneven tone.

Improves Skin Brightness: Over time, this laser can create a brighter complexion by addressing both pigmentation and refining the skin’s surface.

Supports Skin Firmness: The stimulation of collagen in deeper skin layers helps to improve skin structure, subtly supporting firmness for a rejuvenated appearance.

THE PROCESS

How Curas Hybrid Laser Treatment Works?

Dual-Wavelength Technology
The treatment uses two wavelengths, 532nm and 1064nm, to target both surface and deeper pigmentation issues. This dual approach allows for versatile treatment, addressing various depths of pigmentation for clearer skin.

Melanin Fragmentation
The laser delivers short, controlled pulses that break down excess melanin in targeted areas. Over time, the body naturally eliminates these fragmented pigments, reducing dark spots, sun spots, and other pigmentation concerns.

Collagen Stimulation for Acne Scars
For mild acne scars, the laser energy penetrates deeper skin layers, stimulating collagen production. This process helps improve skin texture over time, gradually softening the appearance of shallow scars and uneven areas.

THE PROCESS

Where Does Curas Hybrid Laser Treatment Targets?

The Curas Hybrid Q-Switched Laser Treatment is designed to target specific areas of pigmentation and acne scarring across the face, including:

Dark Spots and Pigmentation: The laser is applied directly to areas with hyperpigmentation, sun spots, melasma, and post-inflammatory pigmentation, breaking down melanin deposits in those regions for improved skin clarity.

Surface-Level Acne Scars: The laser focuses on areas with mild acne scars, such as shallow boxcar or rolling scars, helping to stimulate collagen and gradually even out skin texture in those regions.

Overall Skin Tone and Texture: The treatment can be used on broader areas of the face to support an even skin tone and promote a brighter, clearer complexion by refining the surface layer of the skin and targeting deeper pigmentation.
