Laser-Assisted Facial and Skin Treatments
Laser-assisted facial and skin treatments can be planned according to the individual's skin characteristics, specific needs, and physician's assessment. The scope of the treatment and application parameters are determined according to the individual's skin characteristics.
Every person's skin structure and needs are different. Therefore, an assessment of the skin before treatment is important in determining the appropriate method, session plan, and individualized approach.
Laser technologies may offer different treatment options targeting the surface or deeper layers of the skin. Various concerns, including skin renewal, skin texture and tone, the appearance of pores, fine lines, scars, and certain visible vascular conditions, may be evaluated based on a physician's assessment.
Er:YAG Laser Technology
Er:YAG laser technology is based on the principle of laser energy being absorbed by the water within the skin tissue. Due to this characteristic, it can be used for controlled applications targeting the skin's surface.
Different parameters may be selected depending on the purpose of the treatment and the individual's skin characteristics. In suitable individuals, treatments may be planned to support skin surface renewal and promote a more even-looking skin texture.
Main areas where Er:YAG laser technology may be considered:
- Applications targeting the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
- Applications aimed at supporting skin renewal
- Applications targeting skin texture and surface appearance
- Applications targeting the appearance of acne and scars
- Controlled skin renewal and peeling applications
- Applications targeting the appearance of pores
- Applications targeting the appearance of stretch marks and scars
- Applications aimed at supporting a more even-looking skin tone and texture
Nd:YAG Laser Technology
Nd:YAG laser technology is one of the laser technologies capable of reaching deeper layers of the skin due to the characteristics of its wavelength. By creating a controlled thermal effect, it can be used in applications targeting specific tissues.
Depending on the individual's skin characteristics and needs, it may be considered for applications targeting deeper layers of the skin, supporting overall skin appearance, and addressing certain visible vascular concerns.
Main areas where Nd:YAG laser technology may be considered:
- Non-ablative skin renewal applications
- Applications aimed at supporting the appearance of skin firmness
- Applications targeting the appearance of fine capillaries and visible vessels
- Applications targeting the appearance of acne and scars
- Applications aimed at supporting a more even-looking skin tone and texture
Individual Assessment
Rather than following a standard treatment protocol, laser-assisted facial and skin treatments may be planned individually by taking into account the person's skin type, age, current skin condition, and specific needs.
The scope of the treatment, number of sessions, and achievable results may vary from person to person. Suitability for treatment can only be determined following an assessment and examination by a physician.
Results may vary from person to person with any surgical or interventional procedure. It is recommended that you consult your physician for detailed information before undergoing any procedure.
