Various factors can impact the health and appearance of your skin, with the most noticeable being the natural aging process. Unfortunately, everyone will experience some loss of youthful vibrancy as time goes on.

As you age, several important functions in your body start to slow down, including collagen production—the protein that helps keep your skin firm and smooth. By the time you reach 20, it’s estimated that most people begin losing about 1% of their collagen production each year.

Lux 1540 Fractional Laser treatments can address these conditions, offering the same level of safety and reliability that fractional laser technology provides. At Dermacare Medical Aesthetics, anyone who wants to improve their skin quality can ask about our LUX 1540 Fractional Laser treatment!
 
 

Candidates for LUX 1540 Fractional Laser

The Lux 1540 Fractional Laser can treat different skin conditions, including the following imperfections:

• Fine lines
• Wrinkles
• Sagging skin
• Acne scars
• Surgical scars
• Trauma scars
• Stretch marks
• Melasma
• Rosacea
• Textural irregularities
• Tonal irregularities
• Discoloration

Patients with darker skin tones may not be ideal candidates for laser therapy, as darker skin absorbs light more effectively. This can lead to more heat being generated in the skin, making it harder to target the deeper layers without risking damage to the surface. The only way to know if you are a candidate for fractional laser treatment is to come into our office for a consultation. Even if the Lux 1540 laser is not a good option for your condition, we can help you determine a different route to achieve your cosmetic goals.
 
 

How LUX 1540 Fractional Laser Works

The Lux 1540 Fractional Laser is a medical-grade device that administers concentrated light into deep layers of the skin. When the light hits the deeper layers of the dermis, it is converted into heat, causing “damage” to the underlying layers. This process triggers the body’s natural healing response, flooding the area with collagen, elastin, and a host of other healing factors that can improve textural and tonal skin concerns.

The procedure is simple and can be completed in three steps. The first step is to clean the skin to prevent infection and apply a topical anesthetic to ensure comfort. The second step is the application of the laser energy directly to the targeted area. The device uses cooling technology on the skin’s surface to help mitigate any discomfort. For the third step, your face will be cleaned again, and you will begin recovery.

Patients often describe the entire process as extremely tolerable and only slightly uncomfortable. However, this depends on your threshold for pain or discomfort.
