1^st clinic in Singapore with this award winning 3^rdgeneration 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
• 1^st 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
