MELASMA
SXT Laser Toning removes or lightens the appearance of melasma as melanin and melanosomes in the skin are selectively destroyed by the laser energy. The clinical benefit has been proven over recent years in all different types of skin, and it is now even more effective with the new treatment mode of SXT using its double- pulse technology.
In addition, SXT laser has Quick Pulse to Pulse (Q-PTP) Technology which is tailored for pain-sensitive patients or those with thin and dry skin. When dealing with freckles/pigmentation, our laser therapy minimises potential side effects such as post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation that usually occur as a result of inflammation (SAFE)

Frequently Asked Questions

2. Any downtime after this procedure?
DrD: There is no downtime redness or pain with this laser therapy alone. I would recommend you to use sunblock SPF 50 and to apply more moisturiser, as laser therapy can be dry to skin.

DrD: So long that it is being done correctly and safely, you will have no side effects like blisters, rebound hyperpigmentation or white spots (hypopigmentation)
4. Any other treatments for Melasma?
DrD: Yes, if budget permits, I usually combine Q-switch laser with Long-pulsed/ERB:YAG Laser.
DULL SKIN/PORES REDUCTION/OILY & ACNE SKIN
SXT Carbon Laser 3 Steps Peel treatment is a laser procedure that uses a carbon layer as a photo-enhancer to improve the skin’s radiance and promotes a smooth and glowing complexion.
It is delivered by a state-of-the-art Q-switched Nd:YAG Laser Machine which sends short, rapid and high-intensity pulses of light. The combination of light pulses results in the maximal treatment of the skin lesions while preserving the surrounding skin.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does it work?
Before performing the laser treatment, a layer of carbon lotion is applied on the entire face and allowed to dry over a few minutes. During the procedure, laser light is shot on the skin and is absorbed by the carbon lotion. Multiple tiny explosions of carbon particles release heat on the epidermal layer of skin, exfoliating the skin and removing any debris in the pores.
