Skin Resurfacing
The collective desire to
stay forever young has created an enormous market for anti-ageing treatments.
Recent developments in laser technology are now delivering a longer lasting and
scientifically proven method of restoring the natural beauty of the skin.
Unlike traditional treatments such as dermabrasion and chemical peels, the
unique characteristics of laser skin resurfacing allow more accurate and
precise control over the treatment process.
Skin resurfacing and rejuvenation treatments
can be performed either in ablative modes with an Er:YAG laser or
non-ablatively with a Nd:YAG laser, depending on the particular aesthetic
outcome that the patient and practitioner wish to achieve. In addition,
ablative and non-ablative treatments can also be combined into a comprehensive
anti-aging treatment, such as Fotona’s TwinLight™ Fractional Rejuvenation
system.
Introducing
TwinLight® Fractional Rejuvenation
Past skin rejuvenation
procedures treated large areas of skin, whether aged or not. But with Fotona’s
revolutionary TwinLight® Fractional Rejuvenation method, the
laser light precisely targets imperfections in the skin, leaving the
surrounding healthy skin untouched. The heat from the laser energy also
stimulates the production of new collagen in the dermis, and the surrounding,
untreated skin helps to speed the rejuvenation process.
A Simple and
Effective 3-Step Solution
TwinLight® Fractional
Rejuvenation is a simple 3-step procedure optimized to significantly improve
skin smoothness and give it a fresher, healthier look. The deep heating effect of
Fotona’s Nd:YAG laser beam helps rejuvenate and stimulate the skin, while the
Er:YAG beam helps the body to form new, tighter skin.
Step 1 - Conditioning: An Nd:YAG beam is passed along the surface
twice. The first pass provides a short stimulus to the skin, the second pass penetrates
the tissue, causing deep FRAC3® heating and conditioning the skin for an effective
fractional treatment therapy.
Step 2 - Fractional
therapy: Old, worn-out
skin is ablated away by a fractional Er:YAG laser. The precise micro-ablated
channels will be replaced with new, tighter and healthy tissue as new skin
forms.
Step 3 - Peeling: The skin is ablated with a light
full Er:YAG beam, which finishes the treatment and removes superficial
imperfections.
Using fractional light to
rejuvenate the skin can produce an effect that is perfectly graded to your patient's
expectations, and offers a degree of control and efficacy that allows for
highly precise sculpting of the skin. Treatments can extend from light
touch-ups to deep collagen remodeling, ideal for patients who want drastic
rejuvenation effects, but are not inclined towards aggressive surgical or
chemical alternatives. This treatment is suitable for all skin types and tones,
with minimal patient downtime.
