YOULASER MT
YouLaser MT is a laser treatment that combines two wavelengths, 10600 nm (CO2) and 1540 nm, to address acne scars and other skin concerns. It offers a fractional skin resurfacing approach, allowing for customizable treatments with varying degrees of intensity and downtime. The mixed technology of the YouLaser MT aims to provide effective results with a quicker recovery compared to traditional CO2 lasers.
Mixed Technology:
The YouLaser MT is unique in its ability to use both CO2 and 1540 nm wavelengths in a sequential or simultaneous fractional emission, allowing for tailored treatments to maximize results and minimize downtime.
Ablative and Non-ablative:
The CO2 laser (10600 nm) is an ablative laser, meaning it removes the outer layers of damaged skin, stimulating collagen production and improving skin texture, tone, and elasticity. The 1540 nm laser is a non-ablative laser, which works by delivering heat to the deeper layers of the skin to stimulate collagen production without removing the outer skin layer.
Fractional Approach:
By delivering energy in a grid-like pattern, the laser creates micro-injuries, allowing the surrounding untreated skin to aid in the healing process and leading to faster recovery.
Customizable Treatments:
The ability to use individual wavelengths or combine them allows practitioners to tailor the treatment to the specific type and severity of acne scars, as well as the patient's desired downtime.
Improved Skin Texture and Tone:
YouLaser MT can address not only acne scars but also other skin concerns such as wrinkles, fine lines, pigmentation issues, and enlarged pores.
How it works for acne scars:
The CO2 laser component of YouLaser MT works by creating tiny, controlled thermal wounds in the skin, which stimulates the body's natural healing response and collagen production. Collagen is a protein that provides structure and support to the skin, and increased collagen can help to smooth out the appearance of acne scars. The fractional nature of the laser means that only a portion of the skin is treated at a time, which allows for faster healing than with older, non-fractional CO2 lasers. The 1540 nm laser also helps to stimulate collagen production, but does so without removing the outer layer of skin.
