“It vastly reduced the dullness and brought the glow out. It reduced some fine lines, forehead crows feet, and around my mouth. I also have a lot of redness and it's brought that down. I can’t wait for my next appointment. I was also blown away by how quickly I recovered and was back to looking normal in 2-3 days. It was so easy during and after the procedure!”
— Jessica, Illinois
You may have heard of “Re-epithelialization” or the “Extra Cellular Matrix (ECM)”. These natural body processes are integral to skin resurfacing.
1. Micro-injuries Propel Natural Repair: The Waterlase Fractional Handpiece delivers laser light energy into precise rows of micro-perforations in the surface of the skin, activating the skin’s innate repair mechanism for controlled skin rejuvenation.
2. Cellular Renewal Unfolds: Surrounding cells from the undisturbed tissue migrate to assist healing in the targeted tissue. Basal cells proliferate and migrate, sculpting new skin layers for a refreshed surface.
3. Integration into the Outer Skin Layer: Newly formed cells seamlessly integrate in the outer layer, potentially enhancing texture and appearance.
4. Collagen and Elastin Creation: During this process, new collagen and elastin production may contribute to improved firmness, which can assist with wrinkles.
● Precise Fractional Treatment: The Waterlase Fractional Handpiece delivers precise rows of tiny microbeams of laser energy in combination with a cooling spray of air and water for a minimally invasive treatment that heals more rapidly than other types of skin resurfacing lasers.
● Coagulation Enhances Healing: Promote healing with increased cutaneous contraction after treatment.
● Rapid Re-epithelialization: Fractional treatment allows you to recover quickly with skin healing in just 48 hours, minimizing downtime. “Full-surface ablative procedures with a CO2 laser, for example, has been shown to produce 1 –2 weeks of downtime and skin redness lasting for an average of 2 –4.5 months”.
The Waterlase Fractional Handpiece sprays a cooling mist of water while using laser light energy to create micro-perforations in the skin surface.
● Waterlase integrates laser light engergy with a cooling water spray for a gentle treatment, respecting the ECM’s delicate role in skin repair.
● Unlike hot lasers, Waterlase minimizes the risk of thermal effects, providing a safer and more patient friendly experience.
● No need for local anesthetics for most procedures.
● Reduced risk of complications in comparison to other, more invasive approaches.
● Fast recovery for minimal downtime—reclaim your skin’s glow swiftly.
