Pigmentation removal
More about the procedure
Description
Effective and safe treatment of sun spots, freckles and hyperpigmentation.
Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) is a clinically proven method for treating various pigmentary skin disorders. The LUÑA Ray system uses a high-tech IPL platform with a 530 nm filter that selectively absorbs melanin, directing light energy to unwanted pigments without damaging the surrounding tissue.
What pigmentations can be treated?

- Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation
- Melasma (in selected cases)
- Superficial pigmented lesions
How does the procedure work?
The area is cleaned and a white marker is applied around the stains.
A transparent conductive gel is applied.
A shot is taken in the area of each pigmentation.
The total procedure takes about 15–20 minutes.
It feels like slight pricks. If necessary, we use a pain-relieving cream.
