Photothermal ablative and non-ablative fractional resurfacing and remodeling have become extremely popular due to the lower rate of complications and side effects compared to conventional full-face resurfacing. Clinical results are nevertheless quite different and have prompted researchers to find new strategies useful to improving treatment outcomes. Sequential laser-layering techniques have been successfully used in PWS […]
TwinLight rejuvenation technique (Nd:YAG+Er:YAG) vs Er:YAG resurfacing alone: a comparative study
Photo-thermal ablative and non-ablative fractional resurfacing and remodeling have become extremely popular due to the lower rate of complications and side effects compared to conventional full-face procedures. Clinical results are nevertheless quite different and have prompted researchers to find new strategies to improve treatment outcomes. Sequential laser layering techniques have been successfully used in PWS […]
Beyond Customary Paradigm: FRAC3® Nd:YAG Laser Hair Removal
VSP (Variable Square Pulse) Nd:YAG laser devices hold the most prominent position among all available laser sources for hair removal. This is due to the long wavelength (1064 nm) which Nd:YAG devices produce. Light with a wavelength of 1064 nm lies in a biological absorption region that allows light to penetrate deep into the skin, […]
Treating Melasma with Sub-Thermolytic Q-Switched Nd:YAG
The successful treatment of melasma by sub-thermolytic Q-Switched Nd:YAG laser therapy has been demonstrated by several investigators. The minimization of side-effects and reoccurence in high phototype patients is a major topic of current research. The approaches taken and the results obtained are reviewed in this paper. articolo completo Autore Tomaz Bevec
Use of Long Pulse Nd:YAG 1064nm Laser for Treatment of Rosacea Telangiectatica
A clinical study was performed in which 23 female patients were treated with long pulse Nd:YAG laser light (DualisSP, Fotona, Slovenia) for rosacea teleangiectatica. Patients were treated in one, two or three sessions, depending on facial telangiectasia clearance success. The time interval between sessions was 6 weeks. Treatment parameters were set according to the treated […]
Clinical Results in Thermolytic and Sub-Thermolytic Q-Switched Nd:YAG Skin Rejuvenation
Thermolytic and sub-thermolytic Q-Switched Nd:YAG treatment are able to rejuvenate the skin safely and effectively. It is more and more common for practioners (especially in Asia) to use Q-Switched Nd:YAG laser on indications other than pigmented lesions and tattoos, which are the application areas in which Nd:YAG has traditionally been used. Recent clinical results in […]
Scanner Optimized Efficacy (SOE) Hair Removal with the VSP Nd:YAG Lasers
In laser hair removal, it is preferred for many clinical and technical reasons to use small to medium size laser spotsizes. However, manually aiming a small laser beam hundreds of times to cover a larger skin area can lead to uneven coverage and can result in missed areas and excess heating due to pulse stacking. […]
FRAC3: Three Dimensional Non-Ablative Fraction Laser Skin Rejuvenation
A novel self-indiced non-ablative three-dimensional fractional FRAC3 method for skun rejuvenation is described. The method utilizes short pulse duration/high peak power density of Nd:YAG Accelera mode laser pulses. The Accelera pulses produce a three-dimensional fractional pattern in the epidermis and dermis, with demage islands located predominatly at the sites of skin imperfections. Thermal measurements in-vivo […]
Novel Fractional Treatments with VSP Erbium YAG Aesthetic Lasers
Le indicazioni per l’utilizzo dell’Er:YAG laser sono in continua espansione. In questo lavoro viene presentato l’ultima tecnologia Pixel Screen Technology (PST), tecnica frazionata minimamente invasiva per l’utilizzo di un Er:YAG laser nel ringiovanimento della pelle. La tecnica frazionata è basata sul concetto di produrre una fila di onde microscopiche sulla superficie della pelle che viene […]
New Options and Treatment Strategies with the VSP Erbium YAG Aesthetics Lasers
Er:YAG laser resurfacing has been widely recognized as an effective and predictable method to reverse the signs of photo-damage. Whereas other ablative light-technologies have not developed much further, therefore limiting their versatility and applicability, new developments and innovations to Er:YAG lasers have given practitioners a wide variety of new treatment options and strategies. In order […]
