Q

What is the mechanism of action for the Clear Skin Pro for skin rejuvenation and how does it work?

A

Fractional non ablative treatment causing columns of tissue damage into the dermis by absorbing water in the skin and converting it into heat. The great thing about fractionated treatments, it has good tissue between the damaged tissue/denatured proteins (eg collagen) this will trigger an inflammatory reaction and wound healing will take place healing and creating new tissue. The ‘good tissue’ will aid in the faster recovery of the skin and new collagen will be synthesized by the extra cellular matrix remodelling. This treatment will assist with fine line and wrinkles.

25
Q

Is cooling recommended when using the Clear Skin Pro?

A

YES

26
Q

When using the 1540nm Clear Skin Pro, would you stack or not?

A

Yes you would stack. The amount of stacks is dependant on the skin type and outcome wanted.

27
Q

Which hand piece and beam would you use when treating active acne?

A

You would use the Clear Skin Pro using a full beam.

28
Q

Explain the process when treating active acne?

A

The skin will absorb the water and convert it to heat. It will deliver it below the lesion, however because it is a full beam and lower fluence/energy, it will dry out the sebaceous gland and surrounding tissue. This changes the environment for the p-acne bacteria making it unfavourable for the bacteria to live in & reducing the proliferation of the bacteria.

29
Q

Is cooling and vacuuming needed when treating acne bacteria?

A

YES

30
Q

When using the vacuum tip on the Clear Skin Pro, how do you move it around on the skin?

A

The most effective way to move the tip/hand piece around is to break that suction by tilting it about 45 degrees and then movie it to another area.

31
Q

When treating benign lesions using the Clear Skin Pro,
What tip should be used?
Should the vacuum be used?
Should the cooling be on or off?

A

What tip should be used? - 2mm

Should the vacuum be used? - NO

Should the cooling be on or off?
OFF

32
Q

What is the LP NdYag for?

A

This hand piece is specifically for deep vascular lesions

33
Q

What is the wavelength for the LP NdYag?

A

1064 nm

34
Q

What are the vascular lesions that the LP can treat?

A
  • Port Wine Stains
  • Poikloderma of civatte
  • Venus lake
  • Hemangioma
  • Deep and superficial vascular lesions
  • Leg Veins
  • Warts
  • Hair Removal
  • PRB Perifollicular barbae
35
Q

What does Yag stand for in NdYag?

A

Yttrium Aluminum Garnet

36
Q

What does Nd stand for and mean?

A

Indicates that some small percentage of the yttirum atoms have been replaced by neodynium ions

37
Q

What are the available tips for the LP?

A

2mm, 6mm & 10mm

38
Q

What is the mechanism of action on the LP

A

Photothermolysis. The heat will be absorbed by the blood within the blood vessels causing heat and destruction of the blood vessel walls and cause coagulation of the tissue

39
Q

Which chromophores are absorbed by the 1064 NdYag?

A

Haemoglobin and water

40
Q

What is the diameter of the blood vessel that the LP 1064nm can treat?

A

Up to 3mm

41
Q

Which coloured veins can the LP 1064nm treat?

A

Red, Blue & Purple veins

42
Q

What is the endpoint when treating vascular lesions?

A

Blanching, Darkening or redenning

43
Q

What is the wavelength of the ErYag?

A

2940nm

44
Q

What is the 2940nm technology designed for?

A
  • Tissue evaporation
  • Ablation
  • Vaporisation
  • Incision
  • Excision
  • Coagulation of soft tissue
45
Q

What can the iPixel ErYag treat?

A
  • Skin Resurfacing
  • Skin Rejuvenation
  • Epidermal Nevi (mole)
  • Wrinkles
  • Verrucae (warts)
  • Scar Revision
  • Keratosis
  • Debulking cysts
  • Acne
  • Vitiligo
  • Superficial skin lesions
46
Q

What does AFT stand for and what is it?

A

Advanced Fluorescent Technology. Basically, this is IPL which uses a xenon flash lamp emitting a range of wave lengths from 450nm to 950nm.

47
Q

What does EDF stand for and what is it?

A

Equal Distribution Fluence. What this is, is the energy/fluence output is delivered evenly over a period of time as opposed to multiple peaks of energy over a period of time. The EDF allows for a safer and more effective treatment.

48
Q

“In Motion” allows for what?

A

A safer treatment. Gradual increase in temperature of the target. Faster rep rate, lower energies.

49
Q

Dye VL used for & for what skin types

A

Dye VL is used for pigmented and vascular lesions. Used for skin types I-IV.

50
Q

What is the wavelength of the Dye VL

A

500nm - 600nm

51
Q

What are the two modes of treatment for the Dye VL

A

1) In Motion (VL)
2) Stationary (SVL)

52
Q

What is used topically when using the Dye VL in motion and why?

A

Ultrasonic gel.

Maximise absorption and minimise reflection.

Also useful for better gliding and surface cooling.

53
Q

What are the two chromophores that the Dye VL targets

A

Melanin and Haemoglobin

54
Q

Is the SVL in motion or stationary?

A

In Motion

55
Q

The Dy SVL
in-motion technique is based on a concept of what?

A

Low fluence and high repetition rate of pulses that are emitted gradually over an area and a period of time.

56
Q

Explain how the
in-motion technique works

A

This works by accumulating energy in cycles. Eg if the cycle is for 30 seconds, it will pulse for 30 second and then stop for 6 seconds. During this time, continue to move the hand piece to cool the skin and then the system will continue with another round of 30 seconds until the accumulated energy has been reached. Once this area has been completed, then move on to another grid/area.

57
Q

What is the grid recommended grid size for the Dye VL?

A

100cm2

58
Q

What are the treatment intervals when using the Dye VL and what is the recommended number of treatments?

A

Treatment intervals 2-3 weeks and

Number of treatments 3-6

59
Q

When treating using the Dye VL on VL mode (stationary), do you stack or overlap?

A

No, there is no stacking and no overlapping

60
Q

Is the energy higher or lower in the stationary mode?

A

The energy is higher

61
Q

What is the wavelength for the Dye SR?

A

550nm - 650nm

62
Q

What skin types is the Dye SR suitable for?

A

Skintypes I-V
