Smooth fractionation - laser skin rejuvenation

Fractionation with SMOOTH ablation effect is minimal ablative skin smoothing. This modern treatment is performed with the Er:Yag Spectro SP laser, which causes light, controlled exfoliation of the epidermis and collagen reconstruction. In the Fotona SMOOTH mode, the laser energy is transmitted to the skin surface, without leading to deep ablation, and is further dispersed in the deeper tissue layers. The use of this treatment is recommended when the patient wants to achieve excellent skin firming and smoothing effects at the same time with minimal disruption of the epidermis layer. This treatment improves the appearance of the skin: evens out the color, reduces discoloration, smoothes the skin structure and narrows enlarged pores. Thanks to it, the walls of blood vessels in the skin shrink and strengthen, collagen is rebuilt and collagen fibers are shortened, which gives the so-called effect. skin thickening. The treatment significantly firms and smoothes the skin.

This innovative laser fractionation treatment with the SMOOTH ablation effect is performed using the Er:Yag laser from Fotona Spectro SP with a light wavelength of 2940nm. Fotony erbium lasers use this wavelength for minimally ablative, quick treatments that remove microelements of 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 laser fractionation with the SMOOTH ablation effect?

It is a modern treatment performed with an Erbium Yag laser, which causes light, controlled exfoliation of the epidermis and collagen regeneration. Clinically, the SMOOTH mode is more aggressive than medium-depth exfoliation, but is not as aggressive as a full, deep regeneration of the papillary skin.

Who is this treatment for?

The use of this treatment is recommended when the patient wants to achieve excellent results of firming and smoothing the skin at the same time with a minimal recovery period.

SMOOTH is the only laser treatment that can be performed on the upper and lower eyelids.

Indications:

• loss of skin firmness, density and elasticity
• slight structural changes in the epidermis
• enlarged pores
• mild vascular changes
• anti-aging prevention
• skin pigmentation disorders, e.g. sun-related pigment changes, freckles
• small acne scars
• sagging facial contour
• loss of firmness in the delicate area of the upper and lower eyelids

The treatment is also especially recommended for women after childbirth in places where the skin has lost elasticity, such as the abdominal area.

How many treatments are needed?

The treatment gives the best results after a series of 3 - 5 treatments at 4-week intervals - effects equivalent to at least 10 microdermabrasion sessions.

Effects of laser fractionation in SMOOTH mode:

Immediately after the treatment, the patient feels a noticeable tightening of the skin. However, you will have to wait about 2 weeks for the full effects.

• Elimination of uneven skin tone
• Pore shrinking
• Tightening and firming the skin
• Improves skin texture

The effect is more smooth, taut and brightened skin with a healthy glow.

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 laser fractionation treatment in SMOOTH mode:

• 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 laser fractionation treatment in SMOOTH mode:

• 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 FRACTIONATION with the SMOOTH ablation effect using 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.

Effective fractionation with SMOOTH mode for all skin types:

The Spectro SP laser is the most powerful combination of an Nd:YAG and Er:YAG laser. It provides the widest range of ablative and non-ablative treatments that a single laser system can offer. Nd:YAG Photons laser, which is part of this laser, with long pulses is characterized by homogeneous penetration and low absorption by tissue chromophores. These two advantages allow the Nd:YAG laser to reach deeper structures without damaging the epidermis, regardless of skin type.

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

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.
