Laser wrinkle treatment: specialists & treatment information

The natural ageing process of the skin

The process of skin ageing cannot be stopped. The skin begins to age as early as the mid-20s. Fine lines, wrinkles and creases, as well as pronounced expression lines, also make every face appear older.

A distinction is made between

• the "true" ageing process, which is genetically determined and still very little researched, and
• photoaging, which depends on exposure to the sun and leads to wrinkles, dryness and pigmentation spots.

Other factors, such as

• Free radicals,
• alcohol,
• smoking and
• lifestyle in general

also leave their mark.

Many people want to minimize their wrinkles with as little effort as possible and without leaving scars.

New laser for wrinkle treatment minimizes side effects

Traditional laser treatments can have side effects such as

• red or brown spots,
• burst capillaries or
• deep skin ablation in some cases

with them.

Wrinkle treatment with the new high-tech ProFractional™ Contour laser is minimally invasive. It offers major advantages over older laser treatments in terms of side effects.

In addition, the ProFractional™ Contour procedure is largely pain-free and does not require long downtimes. This makes it a genuine alternative to traditional lifting methods.

This goal is achieved through individual adjustment options that allow for a wide range of treatments.

With the ProFractional Contour™ laser, the penetration depth can be controlled up to 1.5 mm. The laser light creates a large number of fine channels and "vaporizes" the tissue. The so-called "stimulated wound healing" inside the skin structure activates the cells in the connective tissue to form new collagen. This rebuilds the skin, so to speak.

Combination of ProFractional™ Contour laser with other applications

The procedure involves several treatment steps:

The micro-laser peel reduces

• wrinkles,
• scars,
• cornification and
• pigment disorders.

It can be used as a medium to deep epidermal peel in a single pass. The procedure falls between microdermabrasion and complete skin resurfacing.

The resurfacing laser

• achieves visible skin rejuvenation,
• plumps up wrinkles from the inside out,
• smoothes scars and
• reduces pigmentation.

With the ProFractional™, new collagen formation is stimulated so intensively that targeted skin tightening is achieved. In this way, the laser achieves a significant reduction in

• visible signs of skin damage and ageing,
• expression lines,
• unsightly mouth and eye wrinkles,
• acne, injury and surgical scars as well as
• pigmentation.

Advantages of the new wrinkle treatment procedure

The combined application procedure of the ProFractional™ laser with the micro laser peel and/or resurfacing mode has the following advantages:

• 100% treatment of the skin surface,
• one treatment is usually sufficient,
• reduces visible sun damage to the skin,
• precise control and modulation of the desired/required penetration depth,
• no overheating of the skin due to tissue vaporization and immediate elimination of the treated cells in the laser columns,
• rapid healing.

Compared to a surgical facelift, the procedure offers a more natural result that builds up over several weeks without any risks. With a surgical facelift, surgeons only remove excess skin but do not change the structure of the skin. The skin resurfacing procedure with the ProFractional™, on the other hand, enables skin rejuvenation "from the inside out".

Initial swelling and slight reddening of the skin disappear after a few days.
