1st clinic in Singapore with this award winning 3rdgeneration non-ablative laser
Delivers the benefits of much more aggressive procedures
- without the 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 Spectra VRM III Laser Treatment
- Avoids prolonged downtime and PIH – common with AHA / TCA chemical peels and ablative CO2 lasers
- Used in combination with Vit C iontophoresis, LED phototherapy, microdermabrasion, RF, IPL or fractional laser therapy for better outcomes
Mode of Action
Spectra mode
- photothermal stimulation of the epidermis and dermis
- gently heats the microfine carbon particles in the SpectraLotion™ and exfoliates the outermost layer of the skin
Q-switched mode
- photomechanical destruction of the microfine carbon particles in the SpectraLotion™ along with removal of outermost layer of dead skin
- skin tone and texture are improved
- cells associated (fibroblasts, mast cells, macrophages) with skin rejuvenation are stimulated resulting in collagen remodelling
Spectra Laser Treatment Procedure (enlarged pores, acne scars, acne, fine wrinkles)
- Face is washed and cleaned
- Topical anaesthetic cream is applied (15-20mins to take effect)
- SpectraLotion™ containing fine carbon particles is applied thinly and evenly ontothe face
- 1st laser pass in Spectra mode penetrates deep into the dermis
- Photothermal effect
- Stimulate skin cell regeneration
- Exfoliates the outermost layer of skin (stratum corneum)
- 2nd pass in Q-switched mode causes explosion of the fine carbon particles
- Photomechanical effect
- Exfoliates the outermost layer of skin (stratum corneum)
- Shrinks pores
- Reduces sebum production to reduce acne
- Stimulates collagen remodelling
- Penetrates deep into dermis fracturing melanin that causes uneven pigmentation
- Stimulates natural phagocytosis processes to remove the unwanted colouration
- Resulting in cleaner younger looking skin
- 2nd pass in Q-switched mode causes explosion of the fine carbon particles
Post Treatment LED Phototherapy
- LED phototherapy (lights-only) is used to enhance and improve skin treatments (after BotoxÒ, fillers, facial peels, microdermabrasion, lasers and IPL therapy).
- It reduces
- side effects
- speeds up the regeneration time
- Painless
- LED Revive phototherapy at 633nm (red light) for 20 minutes
- stimulates fibroblast
- faster and more efficient collagen synthesis
- stimulates regeneration and wound healing
Post Treatment Skin Care
- Use Quick 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, Rejuvenation cream & Anti-pigment cream
Treatment Interval
- 3 weekly
- Complete treatment package of 5 sessions
- Maintenance 1x session every 3 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
- reaction to fragmented tattoo pigments
- topical anti-histamine cream
