Advanced Vascular and Pigmented Lesion Management

SharpLight’s pulsed-light system is clinically indicated to target a range of superficial vascular concerns, including facial redness, flushing, and the appearance of superficial spider veins and broken capillaries. The technology works by delivering targeted light energy to coagulate the blood within these tiny vessels, helping to reduce their appearance as they are naturally cleared by the body.

This pulsed-light technology is also a clinically demonstrated option for addressing superficial pigmented lesions, such as sun spots, benign discolouration, and mottled pigmentation.

How It Works

Using hand-held flash lamps (6.4 cm2), the system delivers precise pulses of light that are absorbed by the melanin in the skin and the oxyhemoglobin in blood vessels. This process is designed to target specific chromophores (colour targets) while minimizing thermal damage to the surrounding skin.

• For Vascular Concerns: Oxyhemoglobin within the vessel absorbs light energy, causing the blood to coagulate. The targeted vessel is then gradually cleared through the body’s natural metabolic processes.

• For Pigmented Concerns: Targeted pigment absorbs the light energy, causing it to fragment. The treated pigment typically darkens and rises to the skin's surface, where it naturally exfoliates within 1 to 2 weeks.

What to Expect

These non-invasive treatments are designed with client comfort in mind. While the sensation is often compared to the quick snap of a rubber band, individual tolerance levels vary.

As with any light-based aesthetic procedure, minor and temporary side effects may occur, including transient redness, mild swelling, or temporary pigment changes. A typical regimen consists of 3 to 6 sessions spaced approximately 4 weeks apart.

Treatment Areas & Suitability

• Commonly Treated Areas: The face, neck, décolleté, lower arms, and hands are ideal treatment areas, as the skin in these regions is thinner and highly receptive to treatment.

• Candidate Eligibility: This procedure is indicated for adult clients aged 25 and older. A comprehensive skin assessment, medical history review, and Fitzpatrick skin typing are required prior to treatment to evaluate candidacy, identify any contraindications, and ensure a customized treatment plan.
