Alma Q - what can this treatment do for your legs?
The health, well-being and beauty of your legs also depend on skin care.
One of the main changes in the skin of the legs is post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation which can have several causes and appear after trauma, burns or be secondary to circulatory changes, such as venous insufficiency.
To the pigmentation changes are quite difficult to treat and, although macrophages phagocytose the pigment, its elimination can take a long time.
At Leg Clinic® by Allure, we have the Alma Q laser, a very versatile Nd:Yag laser that features unique technological innovations. With the Q-switched ultrashort pulses are used to emit a photoacoustic wave that selectively destroys the pigment, converting it into small particles that will later be eliminated by the immune system itself.
Another common skin change is stretch marksBy definition, stretch marks are skin grooves resulting from the breakdown of the dermal connective tissue (collagen and elastic fibers) and are usually permanent. They appear during periods of rapid growth, such as puberty and pregnancy, and occur in individuals with a genetic predisposition.
When treating stretch marks with the Alma Q laser, the aim is to produce deep heating, stimulating the production of new collagen and, in this way, improving the elasticity of the skin.
Finally, the innovative Alma Q can also eliminate small ruby angiomas which are common on the legs. They appear as red spots that can increase in size and number with aging. The 1064nm Nd:Yag laser offers a powerful non-invasive solution for treating these types of lesions, as it targets the hemoglobin found within these dilated vessels.
With this platform, we have state-of-the-art technology that will allow correct small skin defects on the legs and in this way “give shape to your dream legs”.
Laser Treatment
Indications
Allure Clinic's intense pulsed light emits pulses of light between 500 and 600 mm that selectively target various skin structures.
If it acts on melanin, it allows you to eliminate blemishes, on hemoglobin it allows you to close small capillaries and treat rosacea, and the heat it emits will stimulate collagen, allowing you to rejuvenate and improve the quality of your skin.
