A laser device used for treating vascular and pigmented lesions. It improves facial redness and vascular dilation with minimal skin irritation.
What it is
| What it is | ADVATX is an Nd:YAG laser with a 1319nm wavelength that simultaneously stimulates collagen regeneration in the dermis along with vascular treatment. It selectively absorbs into oxyhemoglobin within blood vessels, coagulating and closing dilated vessels, while simultaneously inducing collagen production through dermal heating. Characterized by its non-ablative approach that does not wound the skin surface, daily life can be resumed immediately after the procedure. In addition to treating facial redness, telangiectasia, and rosacea, it can also be expected to improve skin elasticity. |
