Laser skin care

Asking a dermatologist about their favorite laser is like asking a parent which child they love the most.

What's a good reason to love this laser?

The laser comes with an amazing set of tips that I use to perform rejuvenating treatments. including fast and effective treatment for benign pigmented lesions as well as all types of scars including acne scars. The very unique 1064 nm fractionating tip allowed me to selectively control the depth and volume of LIOB generated in the network by adjusting the depth sector and energy level of the tip. With this control, I can contour my face and reduce pigment spots - all in one treatment in a skin care laser clinic. We also went beyond facial and body treatments with positive initial results.

What can the patient expect during treatment?

It is highly treatment-dependent based on wavelength, fluence, etc but is generally very well tolerated. Given the controllable picosecond pulse, the laser produces a significant photoacoustic effect with minimal heat generation and therefore significantly less pain than previous generations of Q-switched nanosecond pulse lasers. Many patients experience some degree of burning during treatment, which can be easily controlled by adjusting the flow rate and/or using a cooling device during treatment.

What benefits do most patients who receive lasers say?

The main benefit that most patients appreciate is a non-invasive method with little or no downtime with a combination of excellent short-term and long-term results - eg skin tightening, pigment reduction, skin lightening, and scar reduction. LIOB in the skin, generated by fractional picosecond pulses, initiates the body's wound-healing response. The resulting neocollagenesis takes approximately 11-12 weeks post-treatment to fully manifest, so patients experience an immediate response with a sustained increase as new collagen formation continues to tighten and lift the skin. Skin and skin texture also show immediate improvement with continuous improvement over time as the body clears the damaged pigmentation. Most such patients are non-invasive methods with little or no downtime. Our patients were amazed by the improvement that occurred after each treatment.
