This mechanism stimulates the melanocytes, the cells responsible for pigment production, helping to restore color to the affected areas.

The safety of this technology is paramount; our clinic employs strict protocols to ensure patient comfort and minimize risks. Each session is conducted under the supervision of trained professionals, ensuring a safe and effective treatment experience.
