MCL30 Dermablate - Skin ablation and resurfacing -
· What are the unique features of this laser?
MCL30 Dermablate offers unique features on the erbium laser market: integrated into the handpiece there is a very efficacious smoke aspiration system, the possibility of varying the diameter of the spot directly from the handpiece, and the coagulation mode that can be implemented in the case of bleeding during the treatment.
· What advantages are offered by the smoke aspiration system integrated into the handpiece?
The smoke aspiration system integrated into the handpiece allows the physician to avoid contaminating the environment with smoke and particles of ablated material where he/she is operating. This means the physician has no need of a separate device for carrying out this function or an assistant for holding it during the treatment. High technology with money savings.
· Is it true that I can also carry out coagulation as well as ablation with this erbium laser?
By pressing the Therm key on the display the laser activates the coagulation mode, useful in the case of hemorrhages. This is the first erbium laser, which apart from being ablative, is also sub-ablative.
· Which treatment parameters do you recommend?
The treatment of all lesions in the dermatological field and for resurfacing at a fluence of 4 to 6 J/cm² can be used to start off the treatment of very delicate tissues (in this case it could be necessary to carry out several sessions). Use 7/8 J/cm² for a more efficacious but non-aggressive treatment, or between 9/10 J/cm² if you need to operate more in depth.
· What's the different between erbium and CO2 laser?
Erbium laser is more delicate in ablative treatments than the CO2 laser as the degree of absorption by the water contained in the laser light penetrates less in depth. As a result, the lower the thermal effect the faster the recovery and re-epithelisation time of the epidermis.
· Can I combine an erbium treatment with a CO2 treatment?
The use of erbium laser is possible by itself or in association with CO² laser. In the case of resurfacing where the degree of skin aging varies from one area to another, it may be beneficial to pass the erbium laser over the entire face and then use CO² laser in the areas in which the wrinkles are not so deep and where it is therefore necessary to have major shrinking of the collagen fibers. In any case, seeing that the healing is faster with the erbium laser, if one or two passages are carried out with the laser immediately after resurfacing with CO² laser, the healing times can be reduced because part of the necrotic tissue produced by the CO² laser will be removed.
· Which specialists are recommended to use this laser?
Dermatologists, cosmetic physicians and surgeons and beginner laser specialists. The reduced possibility of thermal damage in the tissue means that those who are starting out and still lack the necessary experience in using laser devices can also use this laser. We must always remember however that we are in the presence of ablative laser and therefore it is essential to have good training and pay attention to the treatment parameters to be used for the different patients.
· Why is the performance with Asclepion erbium laser so excellent?
Thanks to the wide range of spots available (from 1 to 6 mm) it is also possible to treat very small areas. Moreover, the homogeneity of the spot allows for irradiating the same dose of energy to every part treated.
· Why is it better than peeling and dermoabrasion on the skin?
A rejuvenation treatment carried out with laser is undoubtedly more efficacious and safer than a peeling treatment (that does not go in depth and uses very aggressive acids) like the mechanical type dermoabrasion. The main reason is that it is possible to control the depth of ablation which, in the case of laser is guaranteed by the absorption of water contained in the tissues.
