Spectra Laser Toning

Spectra Laser Toning

Spectra Laser Toning is a safe, effective treatment for melasma yielding minimal downtimes and low risk of adverse reactions.

Melasma is a commonly acquired pigmentary disorder among Fitzgerald skin types III and V. Attempts to treat melasma with lasers and other light sources that target melanin have frequently resulted in irritation, PIH or other complications, and on occasion worsening of the melasma, especially in Asian patients.

Doctors using the Spectra VRM II system from Lutronic have reported excellent success rates with a new approach to melasma. The approach called Spectra Laser Toning is an advanced treatment that takes advantage of the flexibility of the Spectra VRM II Q-Switched Nd:YAG laser to penetrate and target melanin in the deep dermis making it ideal for dermal and mixed types of melasma.

Spectra Laser Toning is a non-ablative procedure, which patients can typically tolerate without the use of topical anesthetics and are able to return to their normal daily routines immediately afterwards. Treatments are repeated 5 to 10 times at intervals of between 7 and 10 days until the melasma is no longer visible.

Melasma is an easily irritated and recurring skin disorder. Most peeling therapies are only suitable for epidermal melasma. The uniform beam profile and short pulse width of the Spectra VRM Series are very important in achieving reliable and predictable clinical results without any significant risk of adverse reactions.

Spectra Laser Toning is a simple, effective treatment with high patient satisfaction levels that can take as little as ten minutes per session. Treatments can be combined with other complimentary therapies to achieve multiple clinical advantages with little or no risk of side effects, making it the ideal treatment for epidermal and dermal melasma.
