The power of colors can be used for acne, pimples, acne scars, skin blemishes and fine lines. Treatment is performed with a led mask consisting of three main colors.

Lavieen Thulium Laser for Treatment of Skin Blemishes
Our laser applications to remove skin blemishes are basically based on the principle of dividing and breaking up the blemishes. Unlike other laser applications, the Lavieen Thulium Laser is based on the principle of directing the cells called macrophages into the patient’s the problematic area of the body by creating controlled small dents on the skin. The reason behind the effect of Thulium laser is the target of triggering the regenerative and healing cells in one’s own body. Thulium laser can be used in the treatment of skin blemishes, burns and acne scars, anti-aging treatment and fine wrinkles, and its positive effects are observed from the first session.
How is Thulium Laser Application Performed?
In all your skin problems, the aim is not to use any technique or device, but to determine the skin structure and skin problem correctly; to analyze the underlying causes of the skin problem and apply a treatment accordingly. For this, first of all, a doctor should be consulted and the skin problem should be determined. Then, the treatment method recommended by the doctor should be continued.
In the treatment of blemishes with Thulium Laser, characteristics such as the structural characteristics of the person, the area of the blemish that creates the skin problem, the width of the problem area, the depth and prevalence under the skin are the factors affecting the treatment plan. According to these characteristics, the current power, wavelength, pulse and scanning options of the device vary. The treatment process and duration may vary according to different skin problems. You can get the most accurate information about the duration of the treatment and other details after the doctor’s examination. Mayasante is a Thulium Stain Laser Center. For more detailed information about the Lavieen Thulium Laser for blemishes, you can check the Thulium Laser website.
What is the difference of Blemish Treatment with Thulium Laser from other treatment methods?
In the blemish treatment performed with Thulium Laser, the energy supplied from the device and the current strength, wavelength, pulse and scanning options selected depending on the nature of the blemishes are passed over the problematic skin area. The process up to this point is similar in all devices used in blemish treatment.
Unlike the applications made with other laser systems, in the treatment of blemishes with the thulium laser, instead of breaking the spots on the skin, it is aimed to eliminate the skin problem by pulling the healing cells called ‘macrophage’ in the person’s body to the problem area with controlled minor damages and bruises on the skin.
