At our clinic, we use a non-ablative laser to treat aesthetic skin conditions.

It has the benefits of

• less discomfort and downtime
• patients return to their normal lives immediately after treatment
• improved patient satisfaction

Indications

• Inflammatory Acne
• Enlarged Pores
• Skin Rejuvenation
• Fine Wrinkles
• Oily Skin
• Post Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH)
• Pigmented lesions
• Melasma (soft laser peel + laser toning)
• Tattoo Removal (black, blue, brown, red, tan, purple, orange)

Advantages of Non-Ablative Laser Treatment

• Avoids prolonged downtime and PIH – common with AHA / TCA chemical peels and ablative CO2 lasers
• Can be used concurrently in combination with Vit C iontophoresis, LED phototherapy, microdermabrasion, RF, IPL or fractional laser therapy for better outcomes

Post Treatment LED Phototherapy

• LED phototherapy (lights-only) is used to enhance and improve skin treatments (after fillers, facial peels, microdermabrasion, lasers and IPL therapy).
• It reduces
  • side effects
  • speeds up the healing time
• Painless
• LED phototherapy at 633nm (red light) for 20 minutes
  • stimulates fibroblast that initiates collagen synthesis
  • stimulates regeneration and wound healing

Post Treatment Skin Care

• Use Post Laser Recovery Lotion to reduce redness and downtime
• At least SPF 30 UVA + UVB Sunblock to reduce post laser pigmentation
• Post Treatment Mask at night for added radiance and moisture
• Facial wash, Vit C serum, Hydrating lotion and Anti-pigment cream

Treatment Interval

• 3 weekly
• Maintenance 1x session every 3 to 4 months

Possible Complications (when energy levels are too high)

• Temporary redness - subsides within a few hours
• Burns - reduce if adhere to post treatment regime
• Scaring (excessive dermal damage) - much less with non-ablative lasers
• PIH (temporary for 3-4 months)
  • avoid the sun, use sunblock, anti-pigment cream
  • more common in darker skin types
• Hypopigmentation (temporary or permanent) - more common in darker skin types
• Blistering (excessive epidermal thermal damage) - reduce with cooling ice to protect epidermis
• Dry skin - reduce if adhere to post treatment regime
• Skin allergy - occasionally in tattoo removal as a result of a reaction to fragmented tattoo pigments
