SCANLITE LASER FACIAL TREATMENT
Scanlite
laser facial is a gentle procedure that uses the hand-held Scanlite
scanner with an Iridex laser system to improve the overall appearance
of the skin. This new laser procedure can reduce sun-induced damage,
even out pigmentation remove vascular and pigmented lesions, decrease
redness from rosacea and give skin a more youthful appearance.
The Scanlite is a computer pattern generator with
integrated controls designed to enhance the capabilities of our existing
Varilite laser system. This scanner is ideal for rapid and full face
treatments to improve the appearance of blemishes, producing a more
uniform skin texture and tone, for the treatment of large area lesions
such as poikiloderma, matted telangiectasia and rosacea.
The Scanlite allows rapid delivery of microspot exposures with controlled
spacing over large treatment areas. The focal treatment spots are spaced
precisely to leave untreated zones between the exposures. These zones
act as thermal dissipation (heat loss) during treatment which then
allows use of higher energy settings and better results. These then
become healing centers for maximum safety and fast recovery. the 532
wavelength is selectively absorbed by oxyhemoglobin in the dermis and
by melanin at the dermal/ epidermal junction. This results in selective
injury to the tissue columns that can reach to the depth of 1.5mm.
Blue Pacific is offering the Scanlite Laser Facial, which will
include tracing visible vessels with the Varilite pen at the 532 and
940 wavelengths and then scanning the entire face with the 532 ScanLite.
For optimum results, it is is best to have three treatments. The results
are dramatic with a decrease in redness and sun damage (brown spots),
with a significant improvement in texture noticeable after the third
treatment.
Laser facial treatments can be performed on the face
neck and hands. Targeted laser energy is applied to the treatment area
where it is absorbed in the form of heat by abnormal vessels, lesions
or damaged cells The columns are fractionated with therefore allows
us to treat up to 1.5mm and not cause disruption to the skins integrity.
The energy stimulates the natural collagen and the body begins its
natural healing process. Healthy collagen softens the appearance of
aging skin and minimizes the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
The ScanLite will be done by the doctors or our nurse and there is
no downtime associated with this. It is amazing in that you can see
results with in one week. Three treatments are required and we suggest
they be about 30 days apart. It is nice to be able to finally offer
a treatment for that diffuse facial redness and blotchiness!
You will need about a 30 minute appointment time. There is no pain
associated with this procedure and you can immediately return to your
days activities.
