Due to the skin’s natural aging process, many body areas can benefit from tightening protocols that assist in reversing the effects of aging such as progressive tissue laxity. An ideal treatment should be minimally aggressive to the treated area and provide immediate changes that confirm a positive tissue response and ensure symmetric improvement with long-lasting effects. A key factor in this regard is finding the optimal balance between immediate tissue tightening (superficial contraction), depth of new collagen formation (long-term rejuvenation) and the use of fluences that are comfortable for the patient while creating no unwanted side effects.
A better understanding of how to optimize rejuvenating laser treatments can be seen from immunohistochemical analysis of multiple tissue samples treated under different SMOOTH mode Er:YAG pulse modalities. Fotona’s exclusive SMOOTH mode train of pulses has a proven record as an effective tool that transforms Er:YAG’s typically shallow penetration depth into a powerful solution for heating and stimulating the renewal of deeper tissue structures. The versatile software on Fotona’s laser system also allows for the performance of tests on different variations of SMOOTH mode pulses, offering the ability to adjust pulse duration, amount of stacking and fluence.
