Photorejuvenation can be a very profitable aesthetic procedure for the laser practitioner, providing improvements in tone and texture to facial skin without the healing time required by more aggressive procedures. The Neo is an ideal laser for this procedure as it simultaneously provides a most welcome dividend to the patient \u2013 skin tightening.<\/p>\n
The 1064nm laser wavelength is ideal for photorejuvenation, delivering energy to the deeper tissue for collagen remodeling while also diminishing vascular and pigmented blemishes closer to the surface. But the key to the clinical efficacy of Neo is it\u2019s MicroPulse-1064TM technology \u2013 providing a very high power pulse within a safe pulse duration.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Neo uses its pulse energy profile advantageously. It is the rationale for pain-free performance in all applications, and has the added valuable effect of rapid collagen remodeling,\u201d said Mark Nestor, MD, Ph.D., a clinical associate professor of dermatologic surgery at the University of Miami School of Medicine in Florida.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe use LightPod lasers for many applications, but the most rewarding procedure for the patients and the practice is photorejuvenation,\u201d said Aletha Tippett, MD, a family physician in Blue Ash, OH. \u201cOur patients normally experience a natural skin tightening effect that begins following the first treatment. Patient satisfaction is very high.\u201d<\/p>\n
Because of the safe pulse duration of the Neo, it can be used on ethnic skin with an unusually high therapeutic margin \u2013 minimizing the risk of any pigmentary changes and removing pain from the equation. James Gordon, MD of White Plains, NY, an oculoplastic surgeon, recently used the Neo to perform photorejuvenation on a well-known Asian- American patient named Audrey Quock. After several treatment sessions, Ms. Quock \u2013 who is an actress that has appeared in two major motion pictures, as well as in the annual swimsuit edition of Sports Illustrated magazine \u2013 met with a familiar movie producer shortly after the treatment. \u201cHe said she looked great and asked what she had been doing to improve her complexion,\u201d recalled Dr. Gordon. \u201cWhen she told him that it was the result of the laser treatment, the producer immediately contacted me to be treated himself. Thanks to the combination of effectiveness and safety margin of the Neo, I feel comfortable and confident treating a range of skin types including ethnic skin. The laser nicely rounds out my offering of facial rejuvenation, which includes the Era laser that I use for skin resurfacing.\u201d<\/p>\n
Some practitioners who initially purchased the Neo to be used primarily for other treatments, have been pleased with its versatility and particularly for photorejuvenation.\u201cWhen I purchased my Neo, the primary intended use was for hair removal and vascular lesions,\u201d said Suzanne Rosenberg, DO, who practices in Woodmere, NY.<\/p>\n
\u201cI am now using it to treat acne and rosacea, and the application I enjoy the most is photorejuvenation. The procedure is quick and easy, with no gel or anesthesia and no skin contact at all, so it\u2019s very sanitary as well. The laser does a nice job of improving skin tone and texture with an added effect of tightening.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
