How Palomar Lux 1540 Fractional Laser Works

  • Non-Ablative Fractional Technology:

    • The Lux 1540 is a non-ablative fractional laser, meaning it targets the deeper layers of the skin without removing the outer layer. It uses microbeams of laser energy to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin, promoting the body's natural healing process.

  • Microthermal Zones:

    • The laser creates thousands of microscopic treatment zones in the skin, leaving surrounding tissue intact to aid in rapid healing. These microthermal zones stimulate the production of new collagen and elastin, essential for skin firmness and elasticity.

The Process

Fractional Laser

    • Non-Invasive: Non-ablative treatment with minimal risk of complications and no need for incisions or stitches.

    • Skin Rejuvenation: Improves skin texture, tone, and overall appearance by promoting collagen and elastin production.

    • Reduction of Skin Imperfections: Effective in treating fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, surgical scars, and stretch marks.

    • Minimal Downtime: Minimal recovery time required, with most patients resuming normal activities shortly after treatment.

    • Customizable: Treatment parameters can be adjusted to suit individual skin types and concerns.

    • Consultation: A consultation is required for the Fractional Laser treatment to assess skin concerns, discuss goals, and develop a personalized treatment plan.

    • Preparation: The skin is cleansed, and a topical anesthetic may be applied to minimize discomfort during the procedure.

    • Laser Treatment: Our practitioner will use the Lux 1540 handpiece to deliver laser energy to the targeted areas. The procedure typically takes 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the size and number of areas being treated.

    • Post-Treatment Care: After the procedure, the skin may appear red and swollen, similar to a mild sunburn. SAHA will provide specific aftercare instructions to ensure proper healing and maximize results.

  • Aftercare Tips:

    • Hydration: Keep the skin well-hydrated with moisturizers and soothing serums.

    • Sun Protection: Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher to protect the skin from UV damage.

    • Avoid Harsh Products: Refrain from using exfoliating products, retinoids, or acids until the skin has fully healed.

    • Gentle Cleansing: Cleanse the skin gently with a mild cleanser and avoid scrubbing or using abrasive tools.

  • We typically recommend 3 treatment sessions for optimal results, typically spaced 3 to 6 weeks apart.
