RESURFACING – DEEP PEELING

Laser peeling is a much more precise method in removing the top layer of skin than mechanical treatments (e.g. microdermabrasion) or chemical treatments (e.g. acids). The treatment rejuvenates the skin, improves its density and firmness, removes all scars, wrinkles, sun damage, enlarged pores and discolorations, and evens out the color. The skin becomes refreshed, tense and regains its lost radiance. This treatment is ideal when the patient requires the recovery period to be kept to a minimum and when the Nd:Yag laser rejuvenation treatment may not meet the patient's expectations.

Resurfacing is the most effective and deepest form of fractional peeling. It is intended for mature people with acne scars, discolorations, visible wrinkles and furrows, and sagging skin.

This innovative deep laser peeling - resurfacing treatment is performed in our center with the Er:Yag laser from Fotona Spectro SP with a light wavelength of 2940nm. Photon erbium lasers use this wavelength for minimally ablative, rapid treatments that remove micronutrients from damaged tissue, resulting in a profound thermal effect. Classic non-ablative fractional treatments leave thousands of trace elements in the skin, consisting of hot, dead remnants of the treated tissue. Excess heat from this tissue becomes trapped in the skin, causing unnecessary pain and discomfort. Fotona's fractionating head instantly removes hot tissue debris from the skin, reducing pain and speeding recovery. Clean microchannels have the same thermal impact zone as microchannels after non-ablative fractional treatment, but do not cause irritation, swelling or pain. After treatment with the Fractional Photon head, the microchannels close and heal much faster than in the case of classic non-ablative fractional techniques. The Fotona Spectro SP Er:YAG laser achieves maximum effects with a minimum depth of laser beam penetration. Spectro SP for fast, cold ablation in XLP (extended pulse) mode provides the deepest thermal effects. This laser can ablate the epidermis or skin micron by micron, ensuring unrivaled precision and treatment control, short recovery periods and higher patient comfort and satisfaction. At the same time, Fotona Spectro SP, thanks to the highest power and advanced safety systems, is the fastest and safest laser on the market. The Er:YAG laser combined with innovative fractionating heads allows for minimally invasive and safe treatments: skin photorejuvenation or removal of scars or stretch marks.

What is unique about resurfacing, i.e. deep laser peeling with the Er:Yag laser by Fotona SPECTRO SP?

The laser produces from several dozen to several hundred tiny columns of damage, which are surrounded by healthy skin not exposed to the laser. This causes the skin to regenerate very quickly, stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, thickens the complexion, and also produces controlled heating of the skin, which enhances the rejuvenation effect.

Who is this treatment for?

Resurfacing is the most effective and deepest form of fractional peeling. It is intended for mature people with acne scars, discolorations, visible wrinkles and furrows, and sagging skin.

Effects of deep laser peeling treatment:

The effects of the treatment appear in two stages - relatively quickly, after just a few days you can notice the skin tone evens out, discolorations disappear, the skin becomes "luminous", and within 4-5 weeks there is an improvement in skin density. With one treatment, you can achieve results equivalent to at least 10 microdermabrasion sessions.

This causes the skin to regenerate very quickly, stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, thickens the complexion, and also produces controlled heating of the skin, which enhances the rejuvenation effect.

Immediately after the procedure:

After the treatment, redness and slight swelling appear. The skin looks as if it had been exposed to excessive sun exposure, with all the visible ailments associated with this condition. The redness usually goes away after 10 days, the swelling increases after 2 days and disappears after 3-4 days. In the next stage, the skin may slightly darken (brown) and begin to peel off. After 7 days it returns to its normal appearance. Areas that have been treated more aggressively - or with more passes - will usually be red for 3 months, and on rare occasions may be red for up to 6 months. This treatment may be repeated 3-9 months after the first treatment to obtain a better clinical result.

In the first treatment, no more than 20% of the top layer of the skin is damaged, hence the need to repeat the treatment 2 to 5 times.

Contraindications to laser therapy:

• Pregnancy
• Diabetes
• Pacemaker
• Bloathing disorders
• Epilepsy
• Tan (too much accumulated melanin absorbs a large dose of energy, which may cause skin discoloration). You should not sunbathe (sun, solarium) for 4 weeks before and 4 weeks after the procedure
• Tendency to discoloration
• Active viral or bacterial lesions on the skin
• Use of certain medications:
  
  
  • Medicines that reduce blood clotting; anticoagulants, e.g. aspirin
  • Steroids
  • Photosensitizing drugs: some antibiotics, e.g. tetracycline, doxycycline, vitamin A derivatives, some cardiological drugs and others, e.g. furagine
  • Use of some herbs: marigold, St. John's wort, horsetail
  • Using creams with retinol
  • Peels (stop performing about a week before the planned procedure)

Recommendations for the patient before deep laser peeling:

• Do not sunbathe (sun, solarium) for 4 weeks before the procedure
• Do not use exfoliating treatments (peeling) for a week before the treatment
• If you use drugs: anticoagulants, steroids, photosensitizing drugs, they should be discontinued (if possible) 7 days before the procedure, and then they can be used again 14 days after the procedure
• Do not drink alcohol on the day of the procedure
• The treatment is performed on clean skin (cosmetics should be washed off before the treatment)

Recommendations for the patient after deep laser peeling:

• It is not recommended to use a hot bath or sauna 14 days after the treatment
• It is not recommended to sunbathe (sun, solarium) for 4 weeks after the treatment
• For facial treatments, use creams with a filter of at least SPF 30 for 4 weeks after the treatment
• Cosmetics can be used immediately after the treatment
• You should come for a follow-up visit after the procedure

Why do we perform RESURFACING, i.e. DEEP LASER PEELING, with the Er:YAG FOTONA SPECTRO SP Laser?

Fotona neodymium-jag Nd:YAG and Er:YAG lasers - are modern devices enabling a number of procedures in the field of surgery, dermatology and aesthetic medicine. The spectrum of applications is very wide, ranging from laser epilation, through acne treatment, photorejuvenation, to the treatment of skin cancer, removal of varicose veins and laser lipolysis procedures. The Spectro SP laser achieves maximum effects with a minimum depth of laser beam penetration. This laser is the ideal tool for fast, cold ablation. Photona's Variable Square Pulse (VSP) technology adjusts laser parameters to suit the treatment, ensuring ease of use. Square pulses can treat a variety of indications with unparalleled efficiency, without overheating adjacent tissues, thus ensuring patient comfort. Additionally, built-in pulse feedback control (EFC) technology ensures that the laser output energy is always consistent with the parameters set for the patient, thus ensuring the highest level of safety and reliability of the system.

The average power in quasi-continuous pulse mode is 30 WAT. The competition doesn't even come close to this result. Thanks to this, treatments are performed much faster and more effective. In the hands of a doctor, this laser is an almost perfect tool.

Innovation of the Nd:YAG and Er:YAG Fotona Spectro SP and Er:YAG Fotona Spectro SP lasers:

This laser is equipped with a number of innovative solutions such as EFC (impulse feedback control) - a system that provides a previously unavailable level of control over the energy of the laser beam pulse. Thanks to each time the device is calibrated the laser always delivers a beam with precisely defined parameters, which increases the safety and effectiveness of the treatment. Another innovative feature of Fotona Spectro SP lasers is the VSP system (variable square pulse – protected solution patent) allowing the generation of a pulse with given parameters with a negligibly short rise and fall time of the pulse energy. This increases the efficiency of the laser beam and simultaneously improves the effectiveness and speed of treatment compared to other devices.

Thanks to the highest power and advanced safety system, the Fotona Spectro SP laser is the fastest and safest laser on the market.

The security of the Fotona Spectro SP system is:

• EFC (impulse feedback control)

  Thanks to this system, we avoid a decrease in laser power during the treatment, which could lead to weaker or incomplete results. We also do not have to worry about energy surges that may cause tissue damage.

• VSP (variable square pulse)

  Unlike other systems, where there is a sudden jump in energy and then a slow decrease, in the Fotona Spectro SP system the pulse energy distribution is even. This protects us against overheating and tissue burns. It improves dramatically effectiveness and safety of treatments.

The effectiveness of the Fotona Spectro SP system is:

The Fotona Spectro SP laser, thanks to the combination of two laser beam wavelengths: Nd:YAG - 1064nm and Er:YAG - 2940nm, offers the widest range of treatment services among all those available on the Polish market. The neodymium-Jag laser with a wavelength of 1064 nm is the deepest penetrating laser beam available on the market, thanks to which it can destroy large-diameter vessels hidden deep under the skin. At the same time, thanks to homogeneous penetration, it has a very wide range of applications and minimizes the risk of tissue damage. High power in quasi-continuous pulse mode is 30 Watts. The competition doesn't even come close to Siudo's result. Using the 2940nm wave, for minimally ablative quick treatments that remove microelements of damaged tissue, resulting in a deep thermal effect. Classic non-ablative fractional treatments leave thousands of trace elements in the skin, consisting of hot, dead remnants of the treated tissue. Excess heat from this tissue becomes trapped in the skin, causing unnecessary pain and discomfort. The Fotona head immediately removes hot tissue residues from the skin, reducing pain and accelerating recovery. Clean microchannels have the same thermal impact zone as microchannels after non-ablative fractional treatment, but do not cause irritation, swelling or pain. After treatment with the Fractional Photon head, the microchannels close and heal much faster than in the case of classic non-ablative fractional techniques. Thanks to this, treatments performed with the Fotona Spectro SP system are much faster and more effective. With this laser system, all patient needs can be met, achieving excellent clinical results and unprecedented gentleness.
