[Reduce Recovery Burden, Smooth Skin Texture] Erbium Fraxel

The Differentiating Factors of Our Clinic's Erbium YAG Fractional Laser

Using Erbium YAG Laser Instead of CO2:

While CO2 lasers penetrate deep into the skin, they can cause significant thermal damage to surrounding tissues and carry a risk of hyperpigmentation.

The Erbium YAG laser is a fractional device that precisely targets from the epidermis to the dermal-epidermal junction while minimizing thermal damage.

Customized Parameter Adjustment for Each Individual:

We meticulously assess each individual's skin condition to adjust the treatment depth and intensity.

We reduce treatment burden through delicate adjustments, such as applying low power multiple times for thin skin and a single high power for thicker skin, depending on skin thickness.

Utilizing Overlap Technique:

We precisely adjust the treatment intensity by repeatedly applying the laser to areas that require improvement, such as fine wrinkles, scars, and pores.

Treatment is also possible for age-related fine wrinkles on the back of the hands, neck, etc.: Even body areas generally considered difficult for laser treatment are performed with separate settings, considering skin regeneration speed and sebaceous gland density.

Enhancing Fractional Laser Effects with Skin Booster Delivery Technique:

Immediately after fractional laser treatment, microscopic channels open in the skin.

At our clinic, we utilize these channels to apply skin boosters immediately after fractional treatment, designed to effectively deliver active ingredients to the dermal layer.

By custom-adjusting the degree of overlap and intensity, considering deep scars or varying skin thickness, we secure drug penetration pathways down to the dermal-epidermal junction.

When combining small-particle skin boosters like PDRN and Juvelook, active ingredients essential for regeneration can be absorbed into the dermal layer through these channels. This can lead to positive effects in improving pores, fine wrinkles, and acne scars.

What is Fractional Laser?

Fractional laser is a term derived from 'fractional,' meaning a method of irradiating the laser partially with microscopic spacing, not across the entire skin surface.

When tiny holes are created in the skin to provide stimulation, the skin begins its self-regeneration process.

This method of inducing partial damage can help reduce skin recovery time while contributing to overall skin improvement.

Distinction Between Ablative and Non-Ablative Fractional Lasers

Ablative Fractional Laser: It minutely removes the epidermis and delivers energy to the dermal-epidermal junction, inducing improvement in skin texture, wrinkles, and pigmentation. Effects can be seen, but a certain period of recovery is required.

Non-Ablative Fractional Laser: This method maintains the epidermis while applying thermal stimulation to the dermal layer. Recovery is faster, but the scope of effects may be relatively limited.

The Erbium YAG fractional laser used at our clinic falls under ablative lasers.

Principle of Erbium YAG Fractional Laser

The Erbium YAG fractional laser is one type of ablative laser, utilizing a 2940nm wavelength that reacts well to water.

This wavelength precisely evaporates and removes tissue from the epidermis to the dermal-epidermal junction. This enhances the accuracy of depth control and reduces thermal damage, allowing for relatively faster recovery.

It removes tissue along with water without burning surrounding tissue, enabling delicate procedures while reducing the risk of hyperpigmentation.

Comparison of DOE and MLA Methods

Fractional laser energy delivery methods are broadly divided into DOE and MLA methods. The DOE (Diffractive Optical Element) method can evenly distribute energy by delivering uniform energy to all points. However, there are limitations in output, so the practitioner's skill is important for scar treatment.

The MLA (Microlens Array) method shows an energy distribution that is strong in the center and weaker at the periphery. While it may be suitable for treating deep scars, excessive energy concentration in specific areas can lead to longer recovery times.

Expected Effects of Erbium YAG Fractional Laser

Our clinic's Erbium YAG fractional laser utilizes the DOE method,

with the goal of delivering energy uniformly across the entire skin.

This can help improve pores, fine wrinkles, and skin texture, and in cases of acne scars, improvement can be expected by applying the overlap technique.

Collagen & Elastin Regeneration: It removes damaged skin tissue and stimulates fibroblasts in the dermal layer to help form new skin structures. This can contribute to making the skin firmer and smoother.

Pore Shrinkage Effect: As fibrous tissue around pores is reorganized, a reduction in pores and a refining effect on the skin surface can be expected.

Acne Scar Remodeling: Existing scar tissue gradually breaks down and is replaced by new collagen tissue, which can help improve skin texture.

Academic Research Related to Erbium YAG Fractional Laser

Serdar ZA et al. Dermatol Ther. 2019:

Study on 333 patients with facial and neck wrinkles

When undergoing 3-4 sessions of Erbium YAG Fraxel, you can expect improvement in skin texture, wrinkles, and pigmentation issues.

Robati RM et al. J Cosmet Dermatol. 2020:

This treatment is suitable for those who wish to improve the overall condition of their skin by reducing facial pores and fine lines.

Even a single session can have a positive impact on improving fine lines.

With 3 or more sessions, you can expect not only pore reduction but also long-term maintenance of effects.

A Sincere Message from the Head Doctor

Every day, I encounter countless patients' skin. Each patient has different skin characteristics, and even for the same person, skin condition changes daily.

True to the name 'Fraxel', we meticulously examine the patient's skin condition on the day of treatment and precisely adjust the laser output and depth in 0.1 increments to perform the procedure.

We approach every treatment with this mindset. We aim for precise and safe procedures.

The perfection of a Fraxel treatment is determined not just by the equipment, but by the skilled hands of the medical staff.

For those who trust our medical team and choose us, we will do our best to provide meticulous care.

• 
  
• 
  
• 
  
• ㆍ프락셀은 레이저 박피 시술에 해당합니다. 시술 후 3~4일경부터 발생하는 각질은 자연스럽게 탈락되도록 두고, 인위적으로 제거하지 않아야 합니다.

• 
  
• 
  
• 
  
• ㆍ시술 직후부터 각질 탈락 후 약 1~2주간은 피부 재생 시기입니다. 가급적 재생 연고를 꾸준히 바르는 것이 중요합니다.
• 
  
• 
  
•
