These specific wavelengths of light stimulate collagen production and remove discoloration, resulting in a brighter, more even skin tone. People who are keen to improve their skin will find it to be of benefit for the following:

- Freckling and irregular pigmentation
- Thread veins
- Acne and acne scarring.
At least three treatments are recommended for optimum results. It is also used on the neck, chest, hands and legs for reducing redness, brown spots and sun damage.
