The handpiece uses a strong built-in cooling technology that protects the stratum corneum, minimizes discomfort, and enables practical use of high energies without anesthetic.





These treatments can be applied to most areas of the body.
Laser resurfacing is an effective method for treating; acne scars, surgical scars, fine lines, wrinkles, rough textured skin, stretch marks, enlarged pores and melasma.



Some resurfacing devices use an ablative method, meaning that both the epidermis and some of the dermis are removed. The drawbacks of these treatments include raw, red skin which is open to infection for several weeks after treatment. There is also a risk of permanent depigmentation or uneven skin colour.

Some non- ablative technologies send light pulses into the dermis only. While this approach allows for a quick recovery, the light pulses don’t penetrate far enough into the dermis to affect much change in tone or texture of the skin.

While some devices require that dye be applied to your skin, which is difficult to remove after treatment, 1540 treatments do not require long prep or clean up time. Treatments are quick and convenient to your schedule.

Due to the 1540’s built-in cooling system, the patient is fairly comfortable during treatment. Although a topical anesthetic is available, many clients find that the treatments are well tolerated and that the anesthetic is unnecessary.

Simply put, it's more powerful than other lasers. It offers greater energy per microbeam (up to 100 mJ), and greater depth of penetration (up to 1 mm) than any competing device. This stimulates quick healing within the surrounding deep tissue, resulting in effective deep corrections and long-term dermal remodeling. In addition, the Lux 1540 delivers uniform microbeam penetration, a consistency that can't be matched by systems that use a scanning approach.

You will experience swelling and a sunburn-like sensation for about 1-2 hours following the treatment. For this reason, the application of an icepack is recommended following your treatment. 2-3 days following the treatment the skin may remain slightly swollen and red. Your skin may appear slightly redder or darker for 3 to 14 days depending on your skin type and treatment level. Your skin will naturally exfoliate as new skin replaces dead tissue. Therefore, mild flaking and peeling may occur for approximately 4-7 days. Use of a moisturizer will mask the appearance of flaking. Be sure to use sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30-plus at least twice daily to protect your skin from sun exposure during both the healing process and for several months after treatment.
Although you will see the greater part of change, in your skin, within one month, the healing process continues for up to 6 months.

It is likely that you may require a series of treatments at 4 to 6 week intervals to achieve the result you desire. Dr. Pascoe will be able to give you more information about Fractional Skin Resurfacing and expected outcomes in your consultation appointment.
