Benefits

The Future of Skin Resurfacing

  • FDA-cleared for safe, effective, and in-demand dermatologic skin resurfacing therapy
  • Waterlase perforates the thin outer layer of skin (epidermis) and heats the underlying skin (dermis), which stimulates the growth of collagen — a protein that improves skin firmness and texture
  • Promotes even skin resurfacing, allowing surrounding untreated skin to signal extracellular matrix for growth and wound healing
  • Handpiece fits comfortably and ergonomically in either hand
  • No local or topical anesthetic required for many procedures
  • Reduced risk of complications compared to more invasive procedures
  • Proven wavelength — effective full-face treatment while reaching the dermis layer
  • Single-use disposable applicators for patient safety

How does it work?

Fractional Handpiece

The Waterlase Fractional Handpiece treats only fractions of the skin by perforating the epidermis with 10 microbeams in a row.

  • “Pixelated” perforations (about 250 μm diameter) are made in the skin as the clinician moves the handpiece in a single pass.
  • Coagulation of the dermal collagen is produced, which increases cutaneous contraction after healing.
  • Surrounding tissue is left intact and undamaged.
  • Rapid re-epithelialization in less than 24-48 hours, minimizing downtime.
