The Latest Medical Breakthrough in Skin Rejuvenation
Indications
ThermoScan¡¦s innovative technology sets new standards for the treatment of
wrinkles, sun-damaged and several other skin conditions. It is a non-invasive
treatment that works by targeting both the epidermis (surface) and dermis (mid
layer of skin) simultaneously. ThermoScan is a special pulsed infrared laser
that can selectively target the region in your skin responsible for improving
collagen. Colagen utilizes the carbon dioxide (CO2) Laser, in itself the proven
gold atandard in skin resurfacing,with unique technology known as fractional
photothermolysis. This is accomplished by creating an array of thousands of
ultra fine, tiny but deep columns of ablated tissue that are invisible to the
naked eye known as Microthermal Ablative Zones (MAZ).
These microthermal ablative zones penetrate deep into the dermis and act to
encourage the bodyu¡¦s natural healing response which equals to collagenesis and
collagen remodeling over a period of days. Through this healing response,
physicians can effect a skin tightening and rejuvenative effects as well as
minimizing fine wrinkles around the periorbital area as well the marionette line
in addition to significant improvement in acne scars and other forms of
scarring. Because the skin surface remains intact, patients can conduct
treatment as a daycare procedure and even return to work the same day with
minimal discomfort or pain.
ThermoScan is used to help soften fine lines and wrinkles and to treat skin blemishes. Your treatment will be tailored to match your skin condition and desired results. You will notice long term improvement in your skin texture and tone. The collagen and elastin fibers continue to multiply after your treatment and you will continue to see improved results over the months ahead.

ThermoScan treatment uses an infrared laser to rejuvenate your skin from the inside out. The laser energy delivered by the ThermoScan penetrates into the upper layers of your skin. The energy absorbed by the targeted areas stimulates the fibroblast cells in your skin to begin generating collagen. This treatment helps restore your skin to its natural beauty, making it softer, smoother and more vibrant.
ThermoScan laser treatment is gentle and non-invasive. There should be minimal discomfort. You may feel a warming of the skin or a rubber band snap like sensation as the procedure is performed. However, this varies from patient to patient and depends on the depth of the treatment. A topical anesthetic cream can be used on extra-sensitive areas. However, no injections are needed.
What
are the precautions should I take after treatment?
To keep the treated area moist, you will require applying moisturizer and
sunscreen of SPF 30 or above (prescription by your physician) every 3-4 hours on
the treated area for at least 2 weeks. Avoiding from direct sun exposure is
necessary for at least 2-3 months.
Skin care products contain of acids content like vitamin C should be avoided for
3 to 5 days.
A series of 5 or more treatments are suggested to stimulate new collagen growth. Most people will begin to see benefits by the 4th treatment. Results are cumulative with maximum benefits achieved in about 1 year. We also recommend regular touch-up treatments to sustain the continued growth of new collagen as you age.
What
should I expect after the treatment?
Immediately after the treatment, patient may experience slight to significant
redness and edema depending on the levels of treatment. Scab will be formed
within 1 to 2 days. In general, redness will disappear within 2-3 days, whereas
the shedding may take a little longer to complete a cycle of one time treatment.
How
is the procedure like?
A full face of COLAGEN treatment procedure will take only 15-20 minutes. It is a
minimally invasive procedure with topical anesthesia.
With COLAGEN fractional technology, physicians are able to customize a variety
of variables such as the depth and spacing between each micro ablative zone to
uniquely design each treatment session according to patient need.
