Laser Treatments

It is used in the treatment of both superficial and deeper vascular lesions, as the wavelength of this laser is absorbed by hemoglobin within blood vessels and penetrates deeper into the skin.

The most commonly treated lesions include Telangiectasias ("dilated blood vessels") and Angiomas ("blood spots").

Typically, favorable results are obtained in a small number of sessions, but there may be variability depending on the type and number of vessels to be treated.

This laser is a non-ablative fractional laser that uses a 5x5 point matrix. It is used to activate collagen regeneration with the aim of rejuvenating the skin and reducing facial and neck sagging.

The most noticeable results are obtained in areas with thinner skin, particularly the eyelids and neck, but it can be used across the entire face.

It is very well tolerated, requiring no anesthesia or restrictions on the patient’s activities. It can be performed at any time of the year since it does not damage the epidermis.

The DYE head is a type of intense pulsed light with a very short emission spectrum between 500 and 600 nm, similar to the Pulsed DYE Laser.

It is used for the treatment of vascular lesions and rosacea, as the emission spectrum covers two of the main absorption peaks of hemoglobin.

The treatment can be done in stationary mode, where only one or two high-intensity pulses are applied to each area, or in a moving mode, where multiple passes are made over the same area but with lower fluences.

It includes integrated contact cooling, and a cold ultrasound gel is applied to the skin before treatment to reduce the risk of burns and create an interface between the headpiece and the skin.

Typically, the patient may experience redness for a few days and should avoid sun exposure, but it does not involve significant restrictions on the patient’s activities, although treatment is usually avoided during the summer months.

Several sessions are needed to achieve the desired results, and maintenance sessions may be required periodically.

Photodepilation involves the use of light sources (Laser and Intense Pulsed Light) for the progressive and lasting removal of hair.

To ensure safety, the treatment should be preceded by a prior medical evaluation. This includes assessing the type of hair to be treated and the skin type (skin color), excluding contraindications such as diseases or photosensitizing medications that increase the risk of burns, and addressing any hormonal disorders that may underlie excess hair (with analytical evaluation if necessary), among others.

The results obtained vary based on individual factors such as medical history (including the coexistence of hormonal changes), the area to be treated, the amount and type of hair (color and thickness), the patient’s age, and their individual response to treatment.

Typically, the response is faster if the hair is dark, the skin is light, and the area to be treated is not hormonally dependent.

The number of sessions required is variable, and as the treatment progresses and hair growth decreases, the interval between sessions also increases.

The photodepilation treatment is comfortable, carried out either in stationary mode or in motion, with integrated contact cooling and the application of cold ultrasound gel.

For greater safety and effectiveness, the skin to be treated should not be tanned, and sun exposure should be avoided on the days immediately following treatment.

At Maisclinic, a Photodepilation Program is available, conducted under the evaluation and supervision of a Dermatologist (Dr. Barbara Pereira) and in collaboration with a nurse, ensuring that your photodepilation is carried out with complete safety.
