How Cutera Acutip 500™ Works

Treatment Type

Description

Sunspot Removal

- The Cutera Acutip 500™ delivers visible light that is selectively absorbed by pigmented spots on the skin.

- The heating of the pigmented cells leads to their removal without the risk of scarring or hypopigmentation.

- The treatment suits sunspots on the face, chest, shoulders, and arms.

Facial Vein Removal

- The Cutera Acutip 500™ uses pulses of light energy to clot the blood within the targeted veins.

- The coagulated veins are eventually reabsorbed by the body, with blood flow redirected to deeper veins.

frequently asked
questions

Is the Cutera Acutip 500™ available at all Skin Renewal clinics?

The Cutera Acutip 500™ treatment is available in Johannesburg at the Parkhurst and Fourways clinics.

What do treatments feel like?

When the handpiece is placed on your skin, you will experience a cool and comfortable sensation. When the light pulse is delivered, you may feel a mild, brief pinching sensation, often described as a warm, tingling sensation.

How long will the treatment take?

The actual treatment will only take a few minutes, and since gel or topical anaesthetic is not needed, your total appointment time can easily fit into your lunch hour.

How many treatments will I need?

Typically, one or two treatments are sufficient to see dramatic results for either sun spots or facial veins. Additional treatments may be required for very dark spots or where there are many unwanted facial veins.

What happens after the treatment?

Immediately after treating sunspots, the spots may begin to darken, and you might notice slight redness in the surrounding skin. This redness usually subsides within a few hours. Over the next one to three weeks, the treated area will darken further and then gradually flake off, revealing normal to pink skin underneath that will heal to match your natural complexion.

Will the spots reappear over time?

The same spots or veins will not reappear; however, new spots or veins could appear after excess sun exposure to unprotected skin. These new spots and veins may also be removed. Remember to liberally apply sunscreen outdoors to minimise sun damage and prevent the appearance of new spots and unwanted superficial facial veins.

This was my first laser treatment to any area of my face. Heather was very communicative and transparent about what I could expect during the treatment as well as in the coming weeks, which I appreciated greatly. Now to wait and see what the effect will be! My next treatment is in 2 weeks' time.
