The pulsed light is a fast and effective treatment that allows to remove the spots on the skin caused by continuous exposure to the sun.

Dr. Arie Dorenbaum Fastlicht

There are several non-invasive cosmetic surgery treatments to improve the appearance of both the skin and the internal structures of the face, for example, is the treatment to remove the spots called pulsed light.

This is a treatment that consists of two to three sessions, lasts about 15-20 minutes a session, there is a little burning at the end of the session and you feel a little discomfort similar to laser hair removal. What it does is that the pigment absorbs the energy of the light, it fragments and the own cells of the body, that are called macrophages, that are a type of white globules, take the pigment.

This is a process that lasts about 3 weeks, at the end of which you can see the effect of this session. On average they are 2 and 3 sessions and with these they remove the spots on both the face and the back of the hands, where it also works, rejuvenating them and improving the texture of the skin.

Operation and effectiveness of pulsed light

People approaching this treatment are people who have been exposed to the sun and begin to notice pigmentation on the skin of the face, spots, which are known as solar lentigo; Also removes some type of moles but for this one must be certain beforehand that they do not have potential to become something bad; But mostly acts on the spots, although the patient should be warned that when they are spots that originate from a hormonal imbalance, such as melasma (which appears during pregnancy) may not be very effective. But for spots by chronic exposure to the sun, it is very effective.

In the case of depigmenting creams these should be used for several months, in the case of pulsed light is done in 2 or 3 sessions, sometimes reaches only with one, what has to be done later is a maintenance session once That it reaches the state in which the patient is happy with his appearance, and it is possible that, as maintenance, he must repeat it once a year and in a single session.

Post-treatment maintenance

Women have always been closer to aesthetic treatments but men with pigmentation on the face and back of their hands frequent the pulsed light , despite that I would say that women 35 years and older, when they are very stained, Remain the dominant patient.

After the treatment the person has no limitations, ie the patient can make a normal life, the only indication that is made is that you use sunscreen all the time after the treatment.
