This enhanced accuracy translates into improved...How I Do It - Scar treatment with sequential combination of short full beam and photo-acoustic fractional 1064nm QS laser
Wound healing takes place by two distinct mechanisms. The first involves cellular proliferation and migration resulting in regeneration. This occurs in the epidermis and leaves no scarring. The dermis is a collagen-rich connective tissue and when this is damaged the...How I Do It - FracRevive - holistic skin rejuvenation with a combination of full beam and fractional Q-switched Nd:YAG laser
With increasing demand on efficient skin rejuvenation treatment associated with zero to minimum downtime, a two-step FracRevive laser rejuvenation with both full beam and factional Q-switched Nd:YAG laser has been designed by Fotona using the Starwalker system. Starwalker’s unique pulse...
