Marina Medspa's laser pigmentation service draws on a multi-device arsenal to address the full spectrum of pigmentary concerns across different skin types and depths of pigment deposition. The Cutera Excel V is a dual-wavelength vascular and pigment laser combining a 532nm KTP wavelength (targeting superficial redness, rosacea, and vascular lesions) with a 1064nm Nd:YAG wavelength (suitable for deeper pigment and darker skin tones), giving the treating clinician flexibility to address both vascular and pigmentary elements in a single device. The Pearl laser delivers uniform ablative resurfacing energy for the treatment of diffuse sun damage, epidermal pigmentation, and fine wrinkles, with a short downtime profile. Fraxel DUAL (1550nm and 1927nm wavelengths) treats pigmentation and sun damage with fractional non-ablative energy that penetrates into the dermis while leaving surrounding tissue intact — useful for addressing both epidermal brown spots and deeper textural concerns in a single pass. LimeLight IPL (intense pulsed light) targets haemoglobin and melanin simultaneously, making it effective for patients with a mix of brown spots and diffuse redness or broken capillaries. Together, these modalities allow the Marina Medspa clinical team to select the appropriate device based on the patient's Fitzpatrick skin type, the nature and depth of the pigmentation (epidermal versus dermal melasma, isolated sunspots versus diffuse photoaging), the area to be treated, and the patient's tolerance for downtime. Multiple sessions are usually required for complete clearance of persistent pigmentation such as melasma or post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. Sun protection before and after treatment is essential to maintain results and prevent recurrence. Patients from the Brentwood, West LA, Santa Monica, and Pacific Palisades areas are served at the Wilshire Blvd clinic.
