Hello! I am Airi Yokoyama, a cosmetic surgeon and dermatologist. Finally launching at Bianca the recently popular “ADVATx Laser“! What kind of treatment is it? In this explanation, we simplify it for first-timers.
What is ADVATx Laser?
ADVATx is a state-of-the-art laser device that can switch between two wavelengths – 589 nm (yellow) and 1,319 nm (infrared) – from a single handpiece to irradiate. Its features include the ability to approach both the surface and deeper layers of the skin, and it has been approved by the FDA and CE.
Characteristics of Each Wavelength
- 589 nm (yellow): redness, blood vessels, and inflammation.
- 1,319 nm (infrared): collagen regeneration, oil control, and skin tightening. By combining both wavelengths, improvements in redness and skin beauty treatments can be performed at the same time.
Main Indications
- Redness of the face and capillary enlargement
- Senile hemangiomas
- Acne and acne scars
- Melasma
- Pigmentation
- Pores, fine lines, and skin texture improvement
- Scars and stretch marks
Advantages of ADVATx
- Short downtime (as mentioned below)
- Minimal pain (no anesthesia required)
- Suitable for a wide range of skin types
- Ability to address multiple concerns simultaneously
Steps of the Treatment
- Consultation
- Cleansing/preparation
- Irradiation (30-45 minutes)
- Redness subsides in a few hours to a day
- Makeup and washing allowed from the same day
About Downtime A significant feature of the ADVATx laser is that it has almost no downtime. However, it is not “zero”; the following reactions may occur after treatment.
- Redness: disappears within a few hours to the next day –
- Warm sensation: mild warmth lasts a few hours
- Swelling and itching: may occasionally last for a few days
If spot treatments by a physician are used, redness may persist for several days, but it will not significantly restrict daily life. It can usually be concealed with concealer.
Key Points
- Makeup can be applied from the day of treatment
- Sun protection and moisturizing are essential
- It is recommended to schedule the treatment about a week in advance of any events.
First changes
- Improvement of redness and vascular dilation
- Skin tone enhancement
- Firmness
- With repeated treatments, issues such as enlarged pores, fine lines, and melasma will also improve.
