Mechanism of light therapy
When the light from the treatment device shines on the melanin and capillaries that cause skin problems, the energy of the light turns into heat, damaging the spots.Phototherapy devices only react to targets such as age spots, so they do not harm your bare skin and place almost no burden on your skin.
In addition, Photofacial M22 activates the function of fibroblasts, which produce ingredients such as collagen that are effective for the skin, and has the effect of naturally creating beautiful skin from within.
-
Before irradiation
Skin that has spots and freckles due to melanin pigment deposition due to dryness and ultraviolet rays.
-
During irradiation
Irradiates the entire face. Each treatment takes approximately 1 to 15 minutes.
-
After irradiation
Phototherapy that revitalizes the skin is effective against photoaging phenomena and improves the internal texture of the skin.
