The minimally invasive nature of laser scar-revision treatments means that they are well tolerated by patients, and faster recovery times allow the psychological impact of scar revision treatments to be realized much sooner by patients.
Harnessing the Medical Power of Light
Lasers are ideally suited for the effective treatment of a wide range of scar tissues. Er:YAG skin resurfacing is used for gentle ablation of scar tissue and activation of collagen remodeling. Acne scars in particular respond well to Er:YAG treatments. For hypertrophic scars, clinical research conducted with the Nd:YAG wavelength shows further improvement in the aesthetic appearance and overall tissue quality of a scar, including erythema, volume, pliability, etc.
A Synergistic Treatment Solution
With Fotona’s pioneering dual-wavelength scar-revision therapy, both nonablative Nd:YAG and fractional-ablative Er:YAG wavelengths are combined as part of a single comprehensive scar-treatment regimen, with immediate visible results that surpass that of traditional laser-based and conventional scar treatment techniques. Dual-wavelength scar treatment therapies provide a highly effective solution that not only addresses a scar’s aesthetic appearance but also helps to resolve complicating factors with the scar’s vascular feeding system.
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.
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.
Using fractional light to rejuvenate the skin and get rid of scars, 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.
For Smoother, Tighter, Healthy-Looking Skin
Laser peels can remove nearly all fine wrinkles while significantly improving deeper, more dynamic wrinkles. This is achieved by the laser beam that gently vaporizes micron-thin layers of the epidermis; the more superficial layer of the skin. The laser can also thermally affect deeper skin layers to stimulate the production of new collagen in the dermis. The overall result is that your skin will not only look smoother and younger, it will feel tighter and more supple as well.
Unlike traditional treatments, such as dermabrasion and chemical peels, the unique characteristics of lasers means that physicians can precisely control the depth and the extent to which the treatment will work. This means that they can cater the treatment exactly to suit your expectations and the recovery time you can afford.
Depending on the extent of the laser peel, most patients that have undergone the treatment will compare it to having an elastic band snapped across the skin during the treatment and the sensation of having sunburn afterwards. Most people can return to normal daily activities and routines immediately so there’s no need to worry about rescheduling social agendas.
Laser peels will also remove age spots and various aging-related skin lesions, as well as affect the tone of your skin, giving you a credible and natural, rejuvenated look. But of course no therapy can prevent aging and wrinkles reappearing with time so a maintenance schedule, managed by the physician will keep skin looking young.
