What is Affirm Laser Skin Rejuvenation?
Skin rejuvenation has become a buzzword and it can mean different things to different people. It includes laser resurfacing, facials, masks, injectables, the list goes on and on. At the core of skin rejuvenation is overall improvement to your skin’s health and appearance.
One of the latest innovations in the field of non-ablative skin resurfacing, this exciting new technology uses a fractional laser beam to help smooth, tighten, and improve the overall appearance of the skin. The Affirm’s fractional duo wavelength technology minimizes downtime, making it an appealing alternative to traditional laser resurfacing.
It is a laser rejuvenation technique that does not cause the top layers of the skin to peel. In the case of the Affirm, the main after effect is redness; however, the skin surface remains intact. This contributes to the faster healing time.
This is a new development in the field of lasers, a result of searching for effective treatments without causing downtime, while decreasing the risk of complications such as scarring and infections. What it means in practical terms is that the laser beam is divided into microbeams, kind of like a sieve. For every laser microspot, there is an adjacent microspot of untreated, normal skin. This normal skin between the laser microspots helps support healing after the treatment. With traditional resurfacing, the entire skin is lasered off resulting in a longer regeneration process and more downtime after the treatment. In essence, you get the benefits of laser skin resurfacing without most of the side effects.
When you consider laser skin rejuvenation treatments, we understand that downtime procedures are simply not for everyone. While the Fraxel laser or CO2 laser does a great job in resurfacing and remodeling the skin by making microcuts, it isn’t safe for darker skin tones and there is downtime. The Affirm laser is an alternative treatment if your aren’t ready for Fraxel laser or if you have a darker skin type.
Affirm laser is safe for all skin types and ethnicity’s. It safely delivers the laser energy into the skin without cutting.
How does the Affirm Laser make the skin look better?
Similar to the Fraxel, the first fractional resurfacing laser that came out years ago, the Affirm Multiplex stimulates the skin to make new collagen. The new collagen production helps smooth out superficial lines as well as depressed and raised scars in the skin. Unlike the Fraxel, the Affirm has a second simultaneous wavelength released into the skin, which delivers heat to the deeper layers of the dermis causing the collagen to contract. This contraction has a tightening effect that helps firm the skin and reduce sagging over time. Because of its duo wavelength technology, the Affirm works simultaneously on the outer and deeper skin layers, enhancing both the surface texture and elasticity of the skin.
Recent studies are showing that lasers like the Affirm laser can achieve comparable results to Fraxel laser skin resurfacing; however, a series of these treatments will be needed.
