Non Ablative Photorejuvenation

While on one hand modern society is increasingly less tolerant of the aesthetically "unusual" or "ugly", on the other, physiological ageing processes are accelerating rapidly due to excessive and incongruous environmental exposure.

Physiological ageing (chronoaging), linked to the passage of time, is an inevitable and natural component of our existence that affects all the functions, organs and tissues of the human body, including the skin.
This natural process is accelerated by external environmental factors (ultraviolet rays, smoke, alcohol, pollution, etc.), known as photoaging.
The clinical effects include thinning, transparency and laxity of the skin, wrinkles, uneven colouring, pigmentary and vascular marks, and irregularities in the skin surface.

Recently, there has been much talk about the development in the cosmetic field of new laser technologies for treating wrinkles, post-acne scars and pigmentary alterations, improving skin texture and achieving facial firming. This ongoing research into technological innovation derives from an increasing demand for improvements in appearance and quality of life.
Modern treatment of the signs of skin aging is now possible with minimally invasive procedures. Non-ablative photorejuvenation should be viewed as a beneficial, non-invasive solution for improving the appearance, colour and texture of the skin without lengthy post-op recovery periods, and without compromising work and social activities.

Numerous laser and light sources are used for non-ablative skin rejuvenation. Each different wavelength selectively reaches a preferential target within the skin structure acting at a specific depth in the skin. The aim is to obtain vascular and pigmentary normalisation, with the stimulation of neocollagenasis. The correct laser or light source must be selected to adapt the treatment to the needs of each patient.

The DOT1540 platform meets these demands since it can be equipped with two fractional light sources (Er:Glass at 1540nm and Nd:YAP at 1340nm), a pulsed light handpiece (5 interchangeable filters with emission at 500-1200nm, 520-1200nm, 550-1200nm, 600-1200nm, 650-1200nm), and a source with infrared emission (IR 750-1800nm).

The 4 sources available with the DOT1540 system guarantee complete and targeted treatments, adaptable to the specific requirements of each patient. With wavelengths of 1540nm and 1340nm the derma can be treated at different depths, enabling fractional dermal denaturation and the stimulation of neocollagenasis. Thanks to the IR handpiece a more extensive contracting effect is achieved in areas with greater skin laxity. Finally, the pulsed light can also treat vascular lesions and surface pigmentations.
