Fotona - Long Pulsed Nd:YAG
Fotona Laser is a versatile laser treatment that uses a combination of different laser wavelengths and modes to address various skin concerns. One of the key technologies utilized in the Fotona Laser protocol is the long-pulsed Nd:YAG (neodymium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet) laser, which is particularly effective in treating facial redness.
Fotona Laser's long-pulsed Nd:YAG laser is an effective treatment for facial redness caused by vascular lesions and inflammation. By targeting and coagulating abnormal blood vessels, stimulating collagen production, and reducing inflammation, this laser technology provides a comprehensive solution to achieving clearer, more even-toned skin. With minimal downtime and long-lasting results, it is a popular choice for those seeking to address facial redness and improve overall skin appearance.
Benefits:
Effectively Reduces Redness:
Targets and treats vascular lesions that cause redness, such as broken capillaries, rosacea, and spider veins.
Minimizes Inflammation:
Helps reduce inflammation that contributes to facial redness, improving skin clarity and appearance.
Stimulates Collagen Production:
Enhances collagen synthesis to improve skin texture, tone, and overall skin health.
Non-Invasive and Safe:
The treatment is non-invasive and safe for most skin types, with minimal discomfort and downtime.
Long-Lasting Results:
Provides long-lasting reduction in redness with proper care and maintenance.
How does it work?
Targeting Vascular Lesions:
The long-pulsed Nd:YAG laser has a wavelength of 1064 nm, which allows it to penetrate deeper into the skin compared to other lasers. This wavelength specifically targets the hemoglobin in blood vessels, making it highly effective at treating vascular lesions such as those that cause facial redness.
When the long pulsed Nd:YAG laser energy is absorbed by the hemoglobin in the blood vessels, it generates heat, causing the blood vessels to coagulate and collapse. This process is known as selective photothermolysis, where the laser selectively destroys the abnormal blood vessels without damaging the surrounding skin tissue. The body then naturally eliminates these destroyed vessels, reducing redness.
Reducing Inflammation and Redness:
The controlled thermal energy delivered by the long-pulsed Nd:YAG laser also helps to reduce inflammation that contributes to facial redness. This is particularly beneficial for conditions such as rosacea or flushing, where inflammation plays a significant role.
Improving Skin Texture and Tone: The heat from the laser promotes collagen remodeling and production, which can help improve overall skin texture and tone, reducing the appearance of redness over time.
Enhancing Skin Health:
Stimulating Collagen Production: The long-pulsed Nd:YAG laser also stimulates the production of new collagen in the skin. Collagen is crucial for skin firmness, elasticity, and resilience, which helps support the skin’s structure and reduces the likelihood of future redness or vascular issues.
Individuals experiencing facial redness due to vascular lesions, such as broken capillaries, spider veins, or rosacea.
Those seeking a non-invasive solution to reduce redness and improve skin tone.
Suitable for most skin types, including those with sensitive skin or concerns about inflammation.
Initial Series:
Depending on the severity of the facial redness, a series of 3 to 6 sessions is usually recommended, spaced about 4 to 6 weeks apart.
Maintenance:
Maintenance treatments may be required every 6 to 12 months to sustain results, depending on individual skin conditions and lifestyle factors.
