Tri-Beam Gen Technique™ offers the newest technology in reducing the appearance of brown spots. Traditional technology uses IPL but the Tri-Beam uses a safe fractionated 1064nm or 532nm laser to target pigment in the skin. To keep it simple this newer technology treats the skin in gentle little pulses versus all in 1 single pulse of light. This allows us to treat the pigmentation more aggressively and minimize damage to surrounding tissues. This is a great alternative treatment if you tried other therapies to lighten your spots without success. Does it hurt? This treatment feels like a warm beam brushing across the skin. Most patients find the treatment painless and comfortable. No numbing is required for this treatment. What can I expect during my appointment? The appointment is fast and easy! Treatments takes less than 10 minutes and no numbing cream is required. Most patients have little to no downtime so you can resume your normal activity right after treatment.
