Treatment Details
Cosmetic techniques are developing over time to find the most effective ways to improve the appearance of the skin and get rid of skin problems with the least possible invasion of the skin. Thus, phototherapy was developed using different light lengths for treatment, especially the problem of skin pigmentation and the spread of pigment densities in the skin.
The treatment was developed using BBL, which is a device that intensifies lights that target pigmented cells and areas and works to lighten these areas, by shedding light therapy on these areas, as it helps to dismantle the accumulated melanin and lighten the skin gradually.
