Lasers can stimulate & remodel collagen . . 🔬Skin Science: The type of laser plays a role in the ability to stimulate collagen & improve skin texture/quality. In practice it is far more complex than the laser wavelength or the brand . . 👉🔫Variables: Include wavelength, passes, density, power, pulse duration as well as the make of laser. Gentle methods include #dermaltoning or laser genesis using nano or vascular lasers. Pico lasers are great for fine wrinkles in darker - ethnic skin, non-ablative lasers are best in lighter skin types (high density mode), whilst ablative fractional can be used in most skin types (modulate density accordingly). Fully ablative lasers are still the gold standard. The downside is downtime & prolonged skin colour changes . . 👀Hybrid lasers combine 2 wavelengths. This accounts for well over half the cases we do @cliniccutis. For maximal collagen remodelling we employ both fractional CO2 & 1927 thulium in lighter skin, & Pico lasers with low density CO2 in darker skin. Settings are different for each job . . 😎Dr Davin Lim @drdavinlim @cliniccutis Brisbane🇦🇺 . . #dermatologist #dermatologistbrisbane #skinrejuvenation #laserresurfacing #skinscience #rejuvenation #davinlim #drdavinlim #antiaging #laserrejuvenation #lasergenesis #picogenesis #picosure #picoway #fraxel #laseMD #clearandbrilliant (at Brisbane, Queensland, Australia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CKKLGHYDi4y/?igshid=o0oi7oib7pei
