What is Body RevLite?
RevLite is a Q-switched Nd:YAG laser that delivers high-powered, long-wavelength energy in extremely short pulses. The energy targets melanin and breaks pigment into smaller particles that the body's immune system gradually clears.
Because the pulses are so short and low-level settings are used for toning, the surrounding skin is exposed to little heat, which helps limit the risk of rebound pigmentation. The gentle heat can also support collagen and dermal renewal, which may help overall skin quality.
Who it's for
Body RevLite may help if you notice:
- Darkening of the underarms from friction or shaving
- Dark or rough-looking elbows and knees
- Discoloration around the ankles
- Freckles or blemishes on the body
- Generally uneven or dull body skin tone
How we treat it at Egg Clinic
A physician checks the cause of darkening first, since friction, hormones, eczema and some medical conditions can all contribute. Settings are then chosen for your skin type and the area.
- Laser toning: low-fluence passes to gradually lighten pigment
- Areas: underarms, elbows, knees and ankles
- Supporting care: gentle skin care and friction reduction at home
What to expect
The area is cleansed and the laser is passed over the skin in short bursts. It feels like a light snapping or warm sensation, and most people do not need numbing. A session takes only about 5 to 10 minutes.
A temporary burning feeling and redness may occur and usually fade within 1–2 days. Fine scabs can form in some cases. Brightening is gradual, so sessions are generally repeated every 1–2 weeks for about 5 to 10 treatments. Results vary, and pigmentation can return if friction or sun exposure continues.
Aftercare
- Avoid strenuous exercise, alcohol, saunas and steam rooms for 3 days
- Let any scabs fall off on their own
- Minimize direct sun and use broad-spectrum sunscreen on exposed areas
- Reduce friction from tight clothing and harsh shaving
- Keep the skin moisturized
Frequently asked questions
Does it hurt?
Most people feel only a mild snapping sensation. Numbing is rarely needed.
Can I shave my underarms after treatment?
We suggest waiting a day or two and to shave gently. Friction and irritation can contribute to darkening.
Will the darkness come back?
Pigment can return with ongoing friction, sun exposure or hormonal factors. Maintenance and good daily care can help.
