Customized laser treatment guide for different blemishes, freckles, spots, and pigmentation.

The cause and the laser that reacts to each pigment are different.

● Milia / Syringoma

• Milia: Small white bumps formed by adhering keratin.

• Syringoma: A benign tumor that develops in the sweat glands.
