Micro-needle Fractional RF system

Advanced Anti-aging RF Technology

Micro-needle Fractional RF system is an ideal technology works by applying precisely controlled RF energy directly into various depths of skin with minimally invasive micro-needles thereby causing optimal and uniform thermolysis. These treatments then trigger the body*s natural process, stimulating growth of new, healthy tissue, which results in smooth, refreshed, and healthier and younger skin.

It can be applied to all skin types, with very low risk of skin burns and PIH. The procedure is done under topical anaesthesia. Total treatment duration is 45mins. The total number of sessions required depends upon the indication. Usually 4-6 sessions spaced 3-4 weekly are required for optimal results. It has minimal downtime (Mild redness and swelling) and therefore fast recovery. (1-2days).

Indications:

1540 nm Fractional Erbium Glass Laser:

The non-ablative fractional laser beams are delivered as multiple columns in dermis and primarily targeted to dermal water which will induce collagen heating and dermal remodelling with no ablative effect on epidermal layer. This gentle resurfacing procedure allows faster recovery and lower post procedure side effects compared to ablative lasers. It delivers wider area of protein denaturation and volumetric heating that cause effective improvement. It can be done for all the indications as mentioned for MNRF along with active acne.

Therefore along with MNRF, this combined novel fractional resurfacing technique deliver an amplified synergy that results in a much greater skin remodelling with very minimal downtime and Side effects.

Pre- and Post- Procedure Instructions

FRACTIONAL Co2 laser:

A fractionated method (columns of skin are removed leaving the skin surrounding each column intact to aid in healing) helps reduce “age-spots” (also called sun freckles, liver spots, and lentigines), fine lines, wrinkles, scarring, uneven coloration, skin laxity, textural irregularities, dull tone, and a thinned collagen layer of the face, neck, and chest.

Fractional Carbon dioxide laser is an in-office procedure that requires pre and post-treatment medications to ensure proper healing and comfort during the procedure. Discomfort varies on the depth of the treatment. For your comfort during the treatment, we may apply a topical anesthetic cream. After the treatment most patients describe the post-procedure feeling as a sunburn for about 12 hours to 3 days. Please also follow the instructions carefully as advised.

In an area that cannot be treated aggressively, we may need to do few treatment sessions to optimize results. Maintenance treatments may also be necessary to maintain results, especially if sun is not avoided or proper skin care is not followed.

Results that are expected are a very significant and noticeable reduction in the components of sun-damaged skin such as “age-spots” (also called sun freckles, liver spots, and lentigines), fine lines, wrinkles, scarring, uneven coloration, skin laxity, textural irregularities, dull tone, and a thinned collagen layer. The skin will continue to improve for a period of 6 months following the procedure provided proper skincare is used and sun exposure is minimized. Sometimes the results are not significant until the 6th and even the 9th month, depending on the person’s age, their aftercare routine and their history of smoking.

The main negative of the fractional CO2 is the downtime. Depending on the area and the aggressiveness of the treatment, it will take7-10 days for the skin to heal. This downtime will include significant redness crusting (possibly minor bleeding and oozing depending on treatment depth), dryness, and peeling and flaking (it is important to keep the skin moist after treatment). This does mean that social and work activities will have to be curtailed during this time, although you should be perfectly capable of working from home after the first day or two. Other potential side effects may include but are not limited to: skin wound, infection, scarring, and hypo and hyper-pigmentation especially if after care is not followed well.

Prior to the treatment all expectations, potential risks and side effects will be discussed

FAQs:

Are the scar laser treatments safe?

Microneedling procedures and Fractional CO2 laser are FDA approved treatments, which removes acne scars without damaging the skin.

Are these scar treatments painful?

We apply topical anaesthesia cream pre-procedure to reduce redness & any kind of discomfort.

To what extent scars can be cleared?

It depends on the type, depth, duration of the scars. Multiple sessions [6-10 sessions] are required for 3- 4 weeks apart. 50-80% can be cleared easily. The more the number of sessions the better the results.

How does these scar treatments work for our skin?

The laser triggers the body’s natural healing process by instigating the production of collagen & new healing skin cells, thus healing the scars.

What are the post laser effects on skin?

There can be redness, swelling and dry skin that can be experienced after the laser. It fades off in 2- 7 days depending upon the technology being used. But, it is advised to take proper care of the treated area.

What should I take care post procedure?

Apply sunscreen above SPF 30, avoid direct sun exposure and apply ice for 2- 3 days which reduces swelling & redness. Continue medications as prescribed by the doctor.

Can laser be combined with other treatments for better results?

Definitely Yes!
