✨ AcuTip Laser Treatment at KARMA Holywood

Target Pigmentation and Vascular Lesions with Precision

At KARMA Skin Clinic, we offer the AcuTip handpiece from the Cutera Xeo+ Laser platform, designed to treat pigmented spots and vascular lesions with pinpoint accuracy.
This advanced technology allows us to safely and effectively treat skin imperfections such as age spots, sun damage, cherry angiomas, and small veins — delivering clearer, more even skin with minimal downtime.

🌟 What Is AcuTip Laser?

The AcuTip combines the precision of laser energy with intense pulsed light (IPL) technology.
It targets specific skin concerns without affecting surrounding healthy tissue, making it ideal for treating:

  • Pigmented lesions (age spots, freckles, sun damage)

  • Small vascular lesions (cherry angiomas, tiny spider veins)

  • Broken capillaries

  • Redness and skin discoloration

By selectively treating pigment and vascular targets, AcuTip promotes a more even, radiant complexion safely for all skin types.

💫 Key Benefits of AcuTip Laser

  • Precisely targets pigmented and vascular lesions

  • Reduces redness and broken capillaries

  • Safe for all skin types and tones

  • Minimal discomfort and downtime

  • Can treat multiple small areas in one session

  • Works on both face and body

🧬 How AcuTip Works

The AcuTip handpiece delivers focused laser energy at wavelengths of 500–635 nm, targeting hemoglobin in blood vessels or melanin in pigmented lesions.
The treated tissue is gradually absorbed by the body, leaving surrounding skin unharmed.

This precise energy delivery allows us to correct imperfections with high accuracy, producing natural-looking results.

⏳ Treatment Timeline

  • Duration: Usually 20–30 minutes per session

  • Sessions: 1–3 sessions typically achieve optimal results

  • Maintenance: Periodic follow-ups may be recommended depending on individual skin concerns

💬 What to Expect During and After Treatment

  • You may feel a gentle snapping or warming sensation during treatment.

  • Minor redness or swelling may appear but generally resolves within a few hours.

  • Pigmented spots may darken temporarily before fading naturally.
