DEKA Laser offers four different energy-based systems for the management of scars - whether acne, surgical or trauma scars. These laser scar revision technologies are designed to treat a wide range of scars by improving the skin texture and pigment, as well as functional aspects.
DEKA’S SmartXide PUNTO Fractional CO2 device is the latest device to be launched for the treatment of scars, and therefore offers superior results to older devices. Award-winning SmartXide PUNTO’s Acne Scar treatment is remarkably effective.
Acne scars on the face, chest and back is a very common follicular inflammatory disease affecting 80% of adolescent and young adults. Acne scars are difficult to treat therefore prevention is always better than cure and the best way to avoid acne scar formation is to treat acne inflammation early and correctly.
Different types of treatments are currently available for this dermatological condition. Acne scars can be classified into elevated hypertrophic and depressive atrophic scar and most acne scars are atrophic. Acne inflammation results in tissue destruction (different depths, shapes and sizes), volume loss and scar formation, the basic scenario of acne scars.
According to the extent of inflammation the loss of volume could occur in the subcutaneous layer, dermal layer or epidermis.
A complete approach to acne scars should cover both volume replenishment, surface recontouring and texture improvement. DEKA’s SmartXide PUNTO fractional CO2 enables the physician to penetrate the skin, optimising collagen remodelling while reducing downtime. With Acne scar treatment the patient can expect an immediate improvement in the surface texture and colour of the treated scars. The scar tissue will soften as the skin heals. The skin will respond by stimulating growth of new collagen in the treated area for up to six months and a smoothing of the scar will be noticed.
SmartXide PUNTO CO2 fractional laser offers the physician the ability to perfectly tailor treatment to each scar type with complete control of duration, energy, and shape of each pulse.
It can treat even the most complex cases, such as severe scarring, surface pigmentation and deep wrinkles. Very delicate areas, for example the neck and eyelids, and even phototypes with a high post inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PHI) risk can be treated successfully and safely. SmartXide PUNTO’s unique SmartStack function ensures maximum precision in controlling skin vaporisation depth and thermal effect.
The physician can deliver the laser energy in a single pulse or in several consecutive pulses (from 1 to 5), always on the same DOT, making SmartXide PUNTO safer and more effective than other laser systems with only ablative effect. This results in rapid recovery time and enhanced patient comfort. By increasing the SmartStack level, the tissue cools between one pulse and the next, thus reducing thermal damage and the risk of undesirable side effects, particularly in delicate areas or in patients with dark or Asian phototypes. A total of 7 different scanning shapes also gives greater treatment precision and versatility.
