Modern Technology for Laser Skin Resurfacing
Laser resurfacing is performed using a beam of laser energy that vaporizes the upper layers of damaged skin at specific and controlled levels of penetration. The procedure offers many advantages which others do not have.
Unlike Microdermabrasion, the laser penetrates deeply into the dermis, where promotion of collagen proteins can be stimulated. Chemical peels can be very unpredictable and dangerous, while lasers can be dialed in to deliver precisely the right amount of radiation to produce safe and effective results.
All resurfacing treatments work essentially the same way. First, the outer layers of damaged skin are stripped away. Then, as new cells form during the healing process, a smoother, tighter, younger-looking skin surface appears.
For superficial or medium resurfacing, the laser can be limited to the epidermis and papillary dermis. For deeper resurfacing, the upper levels of the reticulas dermis can also be removed. Varied penetration allows treatment of specific spots or wrinkles.
It's also important to consider the length of recovery when choosing among the skin-resurfacing alternatives. In general, the more aggressive the resurfacing procedure is, the more prolonged the recovery is likely to be. “Light” resurfacing procedures, such as superficial chemical peels or superficial laser resurfacing, offer shorter recovery times. However, these lighter procedures may need to be repeated multiple times to achieve results comparable to those achieved with more aggressive techniques.
Treatment Procedure: Resurfacing and Wrinkle Reduction
Deliver one second pulses of approximately 130 to 180 joules to each area of 1 cm square. Be very systematic and thorough, but resist the temptation to over-treat. Applying more than 180 joules per cm2 may severely burn the skin.
Figure 1 (right) shows normal sagging and wrinkling of the skin which can be expected as humans age.
Figure 2 shows excellent improvement on a female client following a series of treatments.
Apply “Laser Post Treatment Facial Gel” (available at Total Beauty Supply). This formula contains benzocaine, aloe and glycolic acid, which produces a very mild chemical peel. Call your patient back in for a follow up in 48 hours. Additional treatments may be applied in 2-4 weeks depending on the level of dermal trauma the patient experiences, and their rate of healing.
General Dermatology
Treatment of additional skin afflictions such as Rosacea, fine wrinkles, sun damaged skin, acne scars, scars from CO2-laser resurfacing, age spots, large pores, acne-prone skin:
As the laser goes over the dermis, vascular spaces with hemoglobin in them absorb the laser energy, thereby heating the surrounding tissue and stimulating the fibroblasts to produce type 1 collagen and dermal proteins. The treatment rearranges and/or replaces the solar elastosis in the upper dermis, resulting in NEW collagen formation.
What used to be loose, irregular collagen in the dermis is now tighter, refreshed and rejuvenated.
An example of treatment for rosacea is shown at right, with a resulting significant improvement following a series of treatments.

Featured Laser System: SDL50
Deluxe Diode Laser Hair Removal System
Features more power for fast results!
The SDL50 produces an impressive 130 J/cm2 energy density at 808 nm with a pulse duration of 0.1 seconds. Pulse frequency is user-adjustable from 1-10 emissions per second.
Maximum power output is 350% greater than the recommended level for efficient laser shaving (on hair growth types 3-6: brown and black). Laser shaving is also possible with blond and red hair types (2 and 3) using carbon dye. This system is also excellent for general dermatology procedures, age spot removal, wrinkle reduction, laser resurfacing and more. May also be used for tattoo removal on most inks.
The High Output Diode Laser System is specifically designed to deliver highly concentrated photon energy directly through the skin, thereby targeting hair follicle melanocytes or photo-reactive dyes.
Each power pulse has an effective treatment area of 2 cm wide and feels like a brief pinch. Very few patients would describe the procedure as “painful.”
*For those few individuals who have a high degree of neural sensitivity, the use of a mild topical anesthetic is encouraged.
The SDL50 High Output Diode Laser System has a very comfortable and versatile hand piece. A powerful 5 cfm positive displacement micro-fan keeps the semiconductors cool during use, thereby increasing power, performance and life-expectancy of the diodes.
The instrument is well balanced and amazingly light (under 1 pound), which substantially reduces operator fatigue. A quality metal instrument housing assures that you will have many years of reliable use from your system.
Complete System Includes:
- High Output Diode Laser Hand Piece w/ 130 J/cm2 energy density (fluence)
- Key lockout safety switch
- Laser-enabled system status LED
- Adjustable intensity
- 2 quantity of laser protection eyewear
- 150 ml carbon dye
- Tweezers and instructions.
Average safe and effective values for output intensity (fluence) and pulse frequency are included in the instruction material for various skin photo types.
*If you are using cosmetics on the area to be treated containing retinoids (retin a, tretinoin, altinac, avita, trans retinoic acid, vitamin A acid, tazorac, adapalene, differin), or AHA (alpha hydroxyl acids, glycolic acid), stop using the cosmetic at least two days before the laser treatment. If you have been taking Accutane (isotretinoin), you should be off of it for two to six months before laser treatment. If you have had a micro-dermabrasion on the area to be treated, it is best to wait seven to ten days before laser treatment.
Also approved for Acne Treatment, Laser Peel, Skin Resurfacing, Tattoo Removal and General Dermatology.
*Non-invasive cosmetic procedures such as laser removal are generally classified as ‘exempt’ from local health codes which regulate electrolysis. In most areas, an Electrology license is not required to buy or use this system.
