Thermascan is fourth generation technology for
non-invasive wrinkle treatment. Pulsed energy
at 1319-nm wavelength allows controlled heating
of sub-epidermal layers of the skin, which is
ideal for collagen remodeling or heating sebaceous
glands. ThermaScan treats all skin types, and
it is safe for tanned skin. ThermaScan
incorporates an LAPG computer-guided high-speed
scanner with full contact cooling to increase
patient comfort and shorten procedures.
How does ThermaScan work?
ThermaScan treatment uses an infrared laser
to rejuvenate your skin from the inside out.
The laser energy delivered by the ThermaScan
penetrates into the upper layers of skin. The
energy absorbed by the targeted areas stimulates
the fibroblast cells in your skin to begin generating
collagen. Collagen and elastin fibers continue
to multiply after your treatment, and you will
see improving results over the months ahead.
This treatment helps restore your skin to its
natural beauty, making it softer, smoother and
more vibrant.
How many treatments will I need?
Clinical studies suggest
that at least two treatments are needed to stimulate
new collagen growth and most people will begin
to see benefits by the fourth treatment. For
Acne scars, 8-10 treatments are required. Doctors
may recommend regular touch-up treatments to
sustain the continued growth of new collagen
as you age.
How long will it take to recover?
There is virtually no downtime
associated with the procedure. After a session,
the area treated may appear red for about an
hour. However, makeup can immediately be applied.
No wound is created, therefore, no healing time
is required. Typically you will experience some
redness that should resolve within a few hours.
Will it be uncomfortable?
ThermaScan laser treatment
is gentle and non-invasive. You may feel
a warming of the skin or a rubber band snap like
sensation as the procedure is performed. However,
this varies from patient to patient and depends
on the depth of the treatment. A topical anesthetic
cream can be used on extra-sensitive areas. The
beard area of men is generally more sensitive.
However, no injections are needed.
