· Those who want a safe and effective laser skin resurfacing treatment in Kuala Lumpur.
· Those who want to lighten scars.
· Those who want to improve deep wrinkles.
· Those who wish to treat sun damage.
· Those who wish to brighten skin tone and texture.

Mixto Pro is an ablative laser, which means it treats the outer layer of the skin by creating micro wounds on the surface that triggers the body’s natural healing response. The laser treatment can be customized to be light or intense, or a mixture of the two modes to suit your skin issues. It is effective to soften deep or indented scarring, improve fine lines and wrinkles, brighten and tighten skin, smooth bumpy growths as well as lighten any unwanted pigmentation.

The resurfacing laser creates micro wounds and exfoliates the skin by vaporizing tiny dots. This means a very precise and targeted treatment which promotes faster healing and carries less risk of damage to the surrounding skin tissues. Laser beams will be delivered alternatively to allow cooling time between spots. After the procedure, your downtime will depend on how aggressive or how deep your treatment is.

1. Skin examination and consultation with a doctor.
2. Topical anesthetic will be applied.
3. Desired areas will be pulsed with Mixto Pro laser. Total treatment time will depend on the treatment areas.
4. End of treatment. The doctor will give aftercare advice.

A1: Is it safe?
Q1: Yes, this laser has been proven safe for the face, neck, chest and hands.

Q2: Will laser treatments make my skin thinner?
A2: No, this is just a myth. Laser treatments can actually strengthen the skin. Although this laser treatment removes the superficial layers, or ‘peel’ the skin, this actually encourages new cell growth to replace the damaged cells and increases collagen production. You can get healthier and younger-looking skin with regular sessions.

Q3: How long will side effects last, if any?
A3: Your skin may be mildly red and swelling may occur. As the redness and swelling subsides, a tanned look usually becomes visible. The tanned appearance will fade over the next few days as new, healthy skin replaces the laser-treated tissue. Your skin will be back to normal in less than a week, or within 2 weeks if your treatment is more aggressive.

Q4: Will it be painful?
A4: No. Anesthetics will be administered, but you may feel a bit of discomfort during the procedure. However, the results are worth the short treatment.

Q5: How many treatments are required?
A5: This largely depends on your goals. You can get a re-evaluation after 6 months, or get repeated treatments every 2 to 4 months for traumatic scarring. A consultation with the doctor can give a good estimate.

Q6: When will I see the results?
A6: Results can be seen immediately after the procedure. Full results can be seen after the skin has completely peeled and you will get to see and feel improvements as collagen regenerates to plump up the skin for up to 6 months.
