The laser machine produces a wavelength of high-energy light, which is then converted into heat energy. This works by targeting the specific area of pigmentation, because the laser is absorbed only by cells containing pigmentation.

These pigments are shattered into smaller pieces, which in turn are cleared by the body’s natural healing and removal process. This leads to a visible improvement in pigmentation.
