KTP laser
A Precise and Safe Solution for Eliminating Imperfections
The KTP laser is an innovative treatment that offers a targeted and painless solution for eliminating skin spots on the face and hands. Thanks to its precision, it is possible to achieve smoother and more radiant skin in just a few sessions, visibly improving the quality of the skin tissue.
The KTP laser represents an excellent solution for treating skin spots such as solar lentigines and dyschromia. Its precision allows it to act selectively on melanin, reducing dark spots without affecting the surrounding healthy tissues. At the Dermacademy Institute, the treatment is preceded by a thorough dermatological evaluation to assess the condition of the skin and ensure a safe and effective procedure. Thanks to the speed of the sessions, the KTP laser provides visible results within just a few weeks, making it an ideal choice for those seeking a more even and radiant complexion.
The KTP laser treatment for spots on the face and hands is performed on an outpatient basis and lasts approximately 30 minutes. No anesthesia is required, as the procedure is painless and well tolerated. The laser identifies excess melanin and treats it with precision while leaving the surrounding tissues unaffected. After the session, mild redness of the treated area is common, together with the formation of a thin crust that resolves spontaneously within 4–5 days. The redness generally disappears within a week, while the final result — visibly smoother and more radiant skin — becomes apparent within 3 weeks.
Before undergoing KTP laser treatment, patients are evaluated through a thorough dermatological examination. This step is essential for identifying any inflammatory conditions or other issues that could interfere with the treatment. The specialists at the Dermacademy Institute personalize the therapeutic pathway, ensuring maximum safety and effectiveness. It is recommended to undergo the treatment between October and March, when the skin is not tanned, in order to optimize results.
Effective for:
What Are Them
Spots on the face and hands, also known as skin discolorations, are alterations in skin color that appear as darker areas compared to the natural skin tone. These imperfections are often linked to an excessive production of melanin, the pigment responsible for skin color.
Main causes
Prolonged and unprotected exposure to UV rays is the most common cause, but skin aging also contributes to their appearance, leading to the formation of age spots. Other factors include hormonal imbalances, such as those associated with pregnancy or the use of contraceptives, as well as post-inflammatory marks caused by acne or skin lesions.
What Are Them
Signs of aging are aesthetic alterations of the skin that appear with advancing age. Wrinkles, loss of elasticity, dark spots, and a less toned appearance are the main characteristics, resulting from a progressive slowing down of the skin’s regenerative processes.
Main causes
Signs of aging are caused by a combination of intrinsic and extrinsic factors. Natural skin aging leads to a decrease in collagen and elastin production, making the skin less elastic and thinner. Chronic exposure to UV rays, stress, and lifestyle habits also accelerate this process, promoting the appearance of wrinkles and discoloration.
