Feathering Technique

This technique involves the application of laser energy in a sweeping, overlapping motion. This ensures a gradual transition between treated and untreated areas, promoting a natural blending effect.

This technique is suitable for clients seeking improvement on larger skin areas.

Stamping Technique

This technique delivers laser energy in a controlled, spot by spot manner, focusing on specific areas.

  • Targeted Pigmentation Removal: Focusing on isolated dark spots/lesions.
  • Scar Treatment: Improving appearance of acne scars and surgical scars. 
  • Fine Lines and Wrinkles: Smoothing out fine lines and wrinkles on all areas of face.

This technique is suitable for clients wanting to correct specific imperfections on areas.
