Spectra Laser Toning

Spectra Laser Toning

Spectra Laser Toning is a safe, effective treatment for melasma yielding minimal downtimes and low risk of adverse reactions.

Melasma is a commonly acquired pigmentary disorder among Fitzgerald skin types III and V. Attempts to treat melasma with lasers and other light sources that target melanin have frequently resulted in irritation, PIH or other complications, and on occasion worsening of the melasma, especially in Asian patients.

Doctors using the Spectra VRM II system from Lutronic have reported excellent success rates with a new approach to melasma. The approach called Spectra Laser Toning is an advanced treatment that takes advantage of the flexibility of the Spectra VRM II Q-Switched Nd:YAG laser to penetrate and target melanin in the deep dermis making it ideal for dermal and mixed types of melasma.

Spectra Laser Toning is a non-ablative procedure, which patients can typically tolerate without the use of topical anesthetics and are able to return to their normal daily routines immediately afterwards. Treatments are repeated 5 to 10 times at intervals of between 7 and 10 days until the melasma is no longer visible.

Melasma is an easily irritated and recurring skin disorder. Most peeling therapies are only suitable for epidermal melasma. The uniform beam profile and short pulse width of the Spectra VRM Series are very important in achieving reliable and predictable clinical results without any significant risk of adverse reactions.

Spectra Laser Toning is a simple, effective treatment with high patient satisfaction levels that can take as little as ten minutes per session. Treatments can be combined with other complimentary therapies to achieve multiple clinical advantages with little or no risk of side effects, making it the ideal treatment for epidermal and dermal melasma.

Spectra Laser Peel

Spectra Laser Peel™

Spectra Laser Peel™ is a unique and effective skin rejuvenation treatment that leverages the dual mode capacity of the Spectra VRM laser to provide outstanding clinical results.

Spectra Laser Peel™ is performed by the Spectra VRM II laser in Spectra Mode, its proprietary 300μs, quasi-long pulse Nd:YAG wavelength. Spectra Mode is employed in combination with photo enhancing Spectra Lotion to perform the Spectra Laser Peel™ procedure. Spectra Laser Peel™ utilizes both mechanical and thermal exfoliation to precisely remove 40 to 60μm of tissue. Spectra Laser Peel™ is one of the most effective and innovative non-ablative skin rejuvenation systems available today. This two-step thermal rejuvenation process shows dramatic results with enlarged pores, acne scars and fine wrinkle reduction and has been proven highly effective in the treatment of melasma. Incurring no downtime, patients can return to their normal lives immediately after treatment. Clinicians benefit from reduced treatment times and improved patient satisfaction.

On the first pass, Spectra Laser Peel™ harnesses the Spectra Mode of the Spectra VRM II laser. The quasi-long pulse, which is delivered at 1064nm, provides photo-bio-stimulation to the epidermis, gently heating and mildly exfoliating the outermost layer of the skin. The following passes (also at 1064nm) in Q-switched mode result in immediate photomechanical destruction of the micro-fine carbon particles in the previously applied Spectra Lotion. Because the outermost layer of dead skin cells are gently removed, the dermal cells associated with skin rejuvenation (fibroblasts, mast cells and macrophage cells) are stimulated resulting in controlled regeneration and collagen re-modeling for improved skin tone, texture, wrinkle and scar reduction without significant downtime or side effects.

Spectra Laser Peel™ is a powerful, controllable yet gentle protocol that allows complete clinical management of the skin rejuvenation process for a wide range of indications and skin types.

Spectra VRM II™ Nd:YAG Laser

Spectra VRM II™ Nd:YAG Laser

The Spectra VRM II™ is an award-winning dual pulsed Q-switched Nd:YAG laser system that is designed for a variety of dermatological and aesthetic applications. This powerful laser system is clinically effective for a wide range of benign pigmented lesions. By offering four distinct wavelengths at 532nm, 585nm, 650nm and 1064nm, this laser system is highly efficient in removing amateur, professional and traumatic tattoos with precision and ease. With the Spectra Dye handpieces, the VRM II doubles its capacity in treating an assortment of tattoo inks.

In addition to the VRM II Q-switched mode, the VRM II system offers the added advantage of Spectra Mode, our proprietary 300μs, quasi-long pulse Nd:YAG wavelength. Spectra Mode can be employed in combination with photo enhancing Spectra Lotion to perform the Spectra Laser Peel™ procedure. Spectra Laser Peel™ utilizes both mechanical and thermal exfoliation to precisely remove 40 to 60μm of tissue. Spectra Laser Peel™ is particularly efficacious in the treatment of wrinkles, acne, acne scars, enlarged pores and hyperpigmentation associated with sun damage.

Spectra Laser Toning is highly safe and effective in the treatment of the symptoms of numerous pigmented lesions such as melasma. This procedure combines photo enhancing Spectra Lotion with our 5 - 7ns pulsed Nd:YAG wavelength to reduce the appearance of melasma with unprecedented safety and predictability, now rendering this difficult to treat condition controllable.

Its consistent pulse-to-pulse stability, in both Spectra Mode and traditional Q-switched modes, makes the Spectra VRM II™ a true workhorse for cosmetic treatments such as photo rejuvenation, non-ablative resurfacing, fine lines, acne scars, and pore size reduction. This versatile and time-tested laser system possesses a uniform beam profile that offers cosmetic practitioners the safest, most efficacious and predictable treatments available for deep pigmented lesions and tattoo removal.
