Laser hair removal in Stavropol using the Palomar Vectus diode laser

Palomar Star Lux 500, Lux nozzle 1540

A real alternative to laser resurfacing and surgical circular facelift, long lasting lifting effect.
The modern method of non-ablative fractional laser rejuvenation will quickly and safely stop age-related changes, get rid of wrinkles, restore skin elasticity and excellent appearance.

We are pleased to offer you rejuvenation procedures using the American Palomar Star Lux 500 system and the Lux 1540 attachment, recognized today as the “gold standard” of fractional laser technologies. Today, many manufacturers equip their devices with fractional modes. But it was Palomar Medical Technologies that in 2004 was the first in the world to patent the fractional principle of laser exposure.

Procedures using the Palomar Lux 1540 laser provide an excellent, very natural, lasting effect of skin rejuvenation by enhancing its internal resources: stimulating the production of its own collagen and improving microcirculation. Moreover, the result is visible after the first procedure: wrinkles disappear, the oval of the face is tightened, the skin begins to glow. With the help of Palomar, you can even treat such traditionally “difficult” areas as the crow’s feet area.

Lux2940 attachment – ​​ablative laser

Fractional ablation method

The Lux2940 erbium laser, manufactured by Palomar Medical Technologies, performs skin resurfacing using a fractional ablation method. This method involves controlling ablation and coagulation separately. In the process of fractional laser exposure, areas of intact tissue remain in the skin, which subsequently becomes a source of cell regeneration. This method is an alternative to phenol skin peeling.

Indications for use

The fractional laser ablation method is used to remove:

• deep static wrinkles,
• skin neoplasms,
• pronounced “crow’s feet” and “purse mouth”,
• stretch marks, scars, scars.

The laser equipment has a non-fractional ablation mode, thanks to which the device can function like a classic ablative erbium laser with high power and a large depth of impact on the skin. Lux2940 provides fractional laser ablation site diameters of 50-150 microns with a depth of 0.1-1.0 mm. The coagulation zone during skin resurfacing may be absent or vary from 5 to 50 microns.

Advantages of the Lux2940 laser

Short rehabilitation period

. Clinical studies confirm that after the laser resurfacing procedure, re-epithelialization of the ablation areas appears on the histological section after 6 hours. The source of the process is undamaged zones. The use of Lux2940 provides a quick rehabilitation period: 2-4 days instead of 2 weeks when using classic laser equipment for skin resurfacing. Regeneration times are at a tissue ablation depth of 250 microns - 2 days, 400 microns - 4 days, 1200 microns - 2 weeks. In non-fractional mode, the laser affects the skin to a depth of 25-50 microns.

Minimal risk of complications.

An early reepithelialization process minimizes the risk of complications such as infection, scarring, hyper- and hypopigmentation as a result of laser exposure during skin resurfacing. With a minimal coagulation zone around the ablation columns (its complete absence in short pulse mode), the fractional laser reduces tissue swelling and accelerates the regeneration process during laser resurfacing for plastic surgery.

Three modes of exposure.

Depending on the tasks, the doctor performing laser skin resurfacing independently selects the necessary settings. The equipment has the following operating modes:

• "Short pulse - ablation." Characterized by fast laser treatment of tissues and a short rehabilitation period after skin resurfacing
• "Long pulse - coagulation." Allows control of the coagulation site around the ablation columns
• “Double impulse – ablation or coagulation.” Short or long pulse alternates in automatic sequence

Aging problems solved with Palomar Lux 1540:

• • Wrinkles on the face, neck, décolleté, hands
• • Wrinkles around the eyes, crow's feet
• • Loss of elasticity and skin turgor
• • Poor/uneven skin texture
• • Gravitational ptosis (sagging), including the upper and lower eyelids

The essence of the method

Laser light is applied to the surface of the skin not in a single front, as when using conventional lasers, but “pointwise”, in the form of a beam (fractions) of many microscopic rays. This guarantees high precision and penetration, and at the same time, complete safety of the procedure. As a result of exposure to a fractional laser, a large number of microscopic treatment zones are formed in the skin, in which new young tissue is rapidly formed. Cells located near the treatment zones are also involved in this process and are actively renewed. As a result, the skin is evened out, acquires a smooth and even appearance, and the newly formed collagen-elastin framework gives the skin density and elasticity, eliminates wrinkles, and outlines the correct oval of the face.

Palomar rejuvenation - results

• • The results will be visible within a week after the first fractional rejuvenation procedure: wrinkles and crow’s feet disappear, pores become smaller, the texture and color of the skin improves, the skin acquires a healthy glow, its turgor is restored, and a clearer oval of the face is outlined.
• • To obtain the maximum effect, it is necessary to conduct 3-5 sessions (sometimes less) with a frequency of 3-4 weeks.
• • The effect of fractional laser rejuvenation not only remains, but also increases within six months after completion of the course.

A week after the first procedure, you will look 5 years younger! After a course of procedures (3-4 sessions) - minus 10 years or more!

Rehabilitation

Unlike most rejuvenation techniques, as well as competing devices, Palomar guarantees a minimum rehabilitation period. In the first 3-4 days, redness of the skin and slight swelling in the affected area are possible. If you follow the post-care recommendations of our dermato-cosmetologist, the rehabilitation period will be as comfortable as possible for you.

What to expect after laser hair removal

Do not expect hair to immediately disappear from the surface of the skin after a laser hair removal session. Hair follicles are gradually destroyed after laser exposure and hair with a dead root will begin to leave your skin 3-7 days after the procedure.

Hair follicles have one interesting property - they can “come to life”. Clinical practice shows that the effect of laser hair removal lasts for a very long time - from 3 to 8 years, but after this time, some hair follicles may “wake up” and the hair, accordingly, begin to grow. This problem can be successfully solved by 2-3 sessions of laser hair removal in areas with awakened hair follicles.

Advantages and benefits of laser rejuvenation using Palomar Lux 1540:

• • High efficiency. Fractional non-ablative laser Lux1540 uses much more energy per microbeam (up to 70 mJ), which allows you to successfully solve the most pressing aesthetic problems without damaging the skin.
• • Fast and convenient. The Lux1540 laser does not require the use of surface anesthesia, application of dyes to the skin, or other special preparation.
• • Safety and painlessness. Advanced smooth pulse technology with simultaneous contact cooling throughout the procedure ensures the highest safety and maximum possible painlessness compared to all other lasers available.
• • Minimum rehabilitation period. (3-4 days)
• • Prolonged lasting effect. Clinically proven results. Laser facelift doesn't just remove the symptoms of aging - it helps awaken the skin's rejuvenation mechanism.
• • Effective and gentle effect on “difficult areas”: the crow’s feet area, neck, arms.

How to prepare for laser hair removal

The effectiveness of laser hair removal largely depends on proper preparation of the skin for the laser hair removal procedure. A few simple tips from our specialists will tell you how to avoid mistakes and increase the effectiveness of the procedure when preparing for hair removal:

• At least 20 days before the start of a laser hair removal course, do not use electrolysis, tweezers or depilatory wax - it is not recommended to remove hair from the roots in the area of ​​future laser treatment. Having lost the root, the hair loses its pigment, is less susceptible to laser treatment, and the effectiveness of the procedure may noticeably decrease.
• On the day of laser hair removal or the day before, shave the hair where the laser will be applied. Otherwise, the beam energy will be distributed along the entire length of the hair and only part of it will reach the follicle. Shaving will not only eliminate the loss of beam energy, but will also ensure a painless laser hair removal session. If you couldn't shave your hair, it's okay. Our clinic has everything you need: showers, disposable machines, towels, gowns - provided free of charge.
• 14 days before laser hair removal, refrain from any type of tanning (solarium, sun exposure). Exposure to sunlight and radiation in a solarium traumatizes the skin, it becomes very dry, and laser exposure to damaged skin can cause irritation. And the procedure itself in this case will be quite painful.

The principle of fractional photothermolysis

In the process of treating problem areas with a directed laser beam, consisting of many individual microscopic beams, microthermal treatment zones (MTZs) are formed in the dermis in the form of a matrix mesh. They are small wounds with coagulated walls, the diameter of which is approximately 100 microns, and the depth is no more than 2 - 3 mm. Due to the formed hollow tubes, instantaneous contraction of the skin occurs. The columns are surrounded by absolutely healthy tissue. In response to damage, the body's immune system launches a restorative regeneration process, activating fibroblasts. These are the cells of the middle layer of the dermis, which play the main restorative role in any damage to the connective tissue. They help heal wounds through the intensive production of collagen and elastin proteins. Thus, restoration of the basal layer of the epidermis occurs in the shortest possible time.

The main application point for laser flow is the liquid medium. The upper epidermis, unlike the deep layers, contains a small amount of water. Therefore, coagulation occurs predominantly at the lower levels of the dermis, and the surface remains intact. Approximately 20% of the laser-treated area of ​​the dermis is exposed. This guarantees the safety of the procedure, reduces recovery time and practically does not cause side effects.

Mediostar Next Pro

Registration certificate of Roszdravnadzor No. FSZ 2010/07980 dated November 13, 2017.

The Mediostar Next Pro diode device is used for several cosmetic procedures:

• laser hair removal;
• non-ablative rejuvenation;
• whitening pigmentation;
• acne treatment;
• destruction of blood vessels.

Epilation is carried out in 3 modes:

1. SmoothPulse - hair removal “in motion”, with high frequency and low pulse energy. This mode is the safest for the patient.
2. BASIC - classic hair removal using the “stamp” method.
3. The procedure parameters are set by a cosmetologist.

The emitter generates short and long single pulses, as well as a double pulse, with a wavelength of 810 + 940 nm. This allows you to reach the hair follicle at any depth.

The 360° sapphire tip cooling system protects the patient’s skin from burns during the procedure.

The basic configuration of the device is equipped with a handpiece with an ST diode emitter and a working spot of 14 × 10 mm. Handles with other sizes and an alexandrite source are optionally available.

Manufacturer: Asclepion Laser Technologies, Germany.

Lutronic Advantage Power Plus™

Registration certificate of Roszdravnadzor No. RZN 2013/1208 dated September 19, 2013.

The Advantage device from Lutronic Corporation is the first diode laser for hair removal, which implements technologies for regulating the pulse from short to long, and contact cooling of the epidermis during the procedure. Performance characteristics:

1. Wavelength 805 nm. The device works on the face and body with different depths of hair follicles.

IMPORTANT!
Ekaterina Imshenitskaya

Diode radiation is less absorbed by melanin in the epidermis than alexandrite radiation, so hair removal with semiconductor lasers is carried out all year round, without taking into account insolation, and on all skin phototypes. The FDA approved range for Advantage is IV.

1. Fluence - up to 35 J/cm2 with a large working spot and up to 100 J/cm2 with a small one.
2. Pulse length - 5-400 ms.
3. Peak emitter power up to 2800 W.

ATTENTION!

Ekaterina Imshenitskaya

The Advantage device belongs to class IV laser radiation - powerful systems with a high degree of danger to the eye of the direct beam, as well as specular and diffusely reflected beams. The cosmetologist and the patient must use protective glasses during the procedure.

1. Pulse frequency up to 3 Hz.
2. Contact cooling of the skin to 3°C.

The laser kit includes 2 handpieces with working spots of different sizes:

• D-1 10×10 mm;
• D-3 10×30 mm.

Using a large applicator reduces the procedure time, but causes more discomfort for the patient. Hair removal on Advantage is carried out using the “stamp” method, which also causes pain. The contact skin cooling system partially ensures patient comfort without the use of anesthetics.

Advantage is a high-power medical semiconductor laser. It is effective for hair removal, but is inferior to the latest generation models in terms of safety and comfort of the procedure.

Manufacturer: LUTRONIC Corporation, Korea.

Skin care after fractional photothermolysis

After laser procedures, the skin needs time for rehabilitation. On average, this period ranges from 2 to 7 days. The duration of the recovery period depends on the power of exposure and the individual characteristics of the patient. General tips:

• within two weeks your skin needs intensive hydration;
• It is recommended to take courses of biorevitalization (hyaluronic acid injections) and mesotherapy (vitamin and mineral cocktail);
• Avoid direct sunlight for at least a month, use sun protection SPF 50;
• do not visit the bathhouse or sauna for at least two weeks;
• Do not use scrubbing substances that injure the skin for three weeks.

Following simple rules will allow you to avoid adverse consequences and complications (hypo- or hyperpigmentation, infection, scars and cicatrices).
