Pigment Correction with Clarity II

dye_VL-1-1-1-1-480x650

Vascular lesions, dilated capillaries, and pigmentation are often the results of chronic sun exposure, age or medical conditions such as rosacea. When left untreated, these conditions can leave unsightly marks on the skin and can adversely affect your confidence and self-esteem. Clarity II is a highly developed new solution designed to reduce the appearance of pigmentation and superficial blood vessels and correct uneven complexions.

At Northcoast Laser Cosmetics, our goal is to help you feel more comfortable in your skin. We perform Clarity II treatments to address damaged tissue and remove blemishes from affected areas. In our endless quest for safe and effective skincare techniques, this innovative device has helped patients see dramatic improvements to their skin tone and texture. Drawing on clinically proven technology, Clarity II allows those suffering from aesthetic skin problems to achieve a smoother texture, even skin tone and healthier, more radiant skin.

Pigment Correction works through a series of three filters and concentrates the light within a narrow range. During the procedure, controlled waves of pulsed light energy are delivered deep within the skin tissue to damage the vessels or pigmented spots. The resulting heat causes the blood to coagulate and the veins to collapse in on themselves, ultimately causing them to be reabsorbed by the body over time. 

Since the wavelengths only target the melanin in pigmented lesions or blood vessels, the surrounding skin remains intact, allowing for minimal discomfort and less downtime than most traditional methods. The Pigment Correction treatment also works to rejuvenate the skin by reducing discoloration, softening lines and targeting sun damage.

Pigment Correction laser facials have been praised for its ability to transform damaged or blemished skin into a smooth and even-toned complexion. At Northcoast Laser Cosmetics, we perform the Pigment Correction treatment with Clarity II to help patients correct various skin problems and conditions, including:

  • Rosacea
  • Facial redness
  • Telangiectasia or spider veins (thread-like lines or patterns on the skin)
  • Hemangiomas
  • Broken capillaries
  • Vascular lesions
  • Pigmentation
  • Lentigines
  • Large pores
  • Sun-damaged skin
  • Wrinkles and fine lines
  • Sun and age spots
  • Discoloration

At Northcoast Laser Cosmetics, we will begin by evaluating your skin to determine the most suitable approach to treatment. Once your condition, concerns, and skin sensitivity have been identified, we will cleanse your skin and place goggles over your eyes to protect the area during treatment. We will then apply a transparent cooling gel to the target area before beginning work on your skin. 

As the light energy penetrates the dermal layers, you may feel a slight burning sensation. However, the handpiece boasts a cold sapphire tip that not only helps to cool the skin and reduce pain, but also minimizes the chance of any damage to the skin’s surface. Depending on the extent of treatment required, the pigment correction procedure takes approximately 30 minutes.

Immediately after the procedure, you may experience some redness or swelling, though most symptoms disappear within 24 hours. You may also feel a tingling or slight burning sensation for up to six hours after treatment, which can be alleviated with an ice or cold pack applied at 10-minute intervals. Within the first few days of the healing period, you may experience flaking of the skin, though this is generally normal and no reason for concern. It is essential to avoid sun exposure to the treated area for at least two days following treatment, after which a broad spectrum sunblock must be applied.

At Northcoast Laser Cosmetics, we generally recommend a series of two to six treatments spaced four to six weeks apart. This will vary depending on the individual needs and skin type of each patient, so we will work with you to determine the frequency and amount of sessions required to achieve your desired results.

While you may see slight improvements after your initial treatment, the best results will accumulate after at least three sessions, as each pigment correction procedure will result in a gradual lightening of the target area. In addition to being a safe and minimally invasive treatment, many patients have reported remarkable and even life-changing results.

Compared to traditional methods, Clarity II offers a unique and relatively comfortable treatment experience with benefits for many patients, including:

  • Non-invasive and no downtime
  • Quick, lunchtime procedure
  • Suitable for all skin types
  • Improves skin tone and texture
  • Reliable and long-term results
  • FDA-approved

The Clarity II innovative and adaptable design means that men and women of all ages and skin types can benefit from this procedure. At Northcoast Laser Cosmetics, we also complete a full assessment of your skin’s quality and current condition before treatment to ensure there are no issues or concerns that might interfere with the results. Clarity II is highly suitable for those seeking to correct facial redness or conditions such as rosacea or telangiectasia. This treatment is especially effective in removing spider veins and clearing the face of thread-like lines or patterns. Alternatively, if you have experienced sun damage in the form of pigmentation or sun spots, Pigment correction can free your face of these blemishes and help you restore a smoother texture and an even skin tone.

Laser acne treatments won’t cause prolonged or severe side effects compared to some acne medications and creams, but may produce some temporary redness and mild swelling. This is normal and should dissipate within one to three days, without the need for a recovery period or downtime. However, it’s extremely important to apply a moisturizing sunblock of at least SPF 30 daily following treatment to protect the skin from potential sun damage and to avoid any harsh or irritating products while the skin heals. If necessary, makeup can be applied to the treated area immediately after the procedure.

The results of laser treatments for acne are cumulative and will get better with each session. The number of blemishes and severity of breakouts should reduce over the course of treatment and beyond, with many patients continuing to improve even after their last appointment. The typical course of treatment for adult and teenage acne lasts for five weeks, with two treatments each week for optimal results. This can vary depending on individual needs and goals, and our skin care experts may recommend a different treatment schedule to help you achieve clear, beautiful skin.

At Northcoast Laser Cosmetics in Mentor, Ohio, we are passionate about skin restoration and natural cosmetic enhancement. When performing our skin resurfacing treatments, our primary goal is to help you feel more comfortable and confident in your own skin. Pigment Correction treatments with Clarity II have been praised for its transformative effects and ability to free the face of blemishes and restore health and vitality to the skin. If you are experiencing skin problems or concerns as a result of genetics, sun exposure, age or medical conditions, and are unsure which procedure is most suitable for you, call us today at 440-639-3223. We can work with you to bring out the best in your skin.
