Laser skin rejuvenation can improve many different areas of the face and body*
The Spectra Laser by Lutronic is able to effectively remove a wide array of unwanted skin issues and treat both the face and body, allowing dermatologists to address wrinkles, pigmentation, vascular issues and acne scars. Results are considered comparable and even superior to chemical peels.
Features of the Spectra Laser
The Spectra laser is one of the most versatile laser systems. It produces 4 wavelengths which include the 1064nm and the 532nm. And it offers two operating modes
- Q-Switched (for applying the laser in short pulses)
- Spectra mode (Quasi-Long Pulse)
Most lasers are produced through a crystal medium. The Spectra laser uses Nd:YAG (neodymium-doped yttrium aluminium garnet)
The Spectra Laser Peel For Acne Scars and Fine Lines
Dermatologists are able to perform a specialized laser peel on the skin. First a photoenhancing lotion is applied on the area requiring treatment. This facilitates the ability of the laser to penetrate the skin. It also works to exfoliate and even remove 40-50 micrometers from the surface.
This procedure is used to treat fine lines and milder cases of acne scars
The Spectra Laser Toning for Unwanted Pigment and Vascular Issues
Lasers can break up unwanted pigment, allowing the remains to be removed by the body’s system.
To accomplish this, the Spectra laser uses the 1064nm wavelength which is not easily absorbed by melanin.
This makes it ideal for dermatologists to treat patients with darker skin (particularly Fitzpatrick skin types III and V). By using the 1064 wavelength, their skin is not as likely to overheat and incur complications.
Vascular lesions can also be addressed by the Spectra system. The laser light enters the unwanted blood vessels as it is absorbed by red blood cells. At this stage, it causes the vessels to seal off and become non-functional tissue which is then eliminated by the body.
From the toning capabilities of the Spectra laser, patients are able to receive the benefits of a clearer complexion with minimal discomfort and downtime.
