Liton Laser is a professional thulium laser 1927nm beauty machine supplier. 1927nm laser is a new beauty technology with many functions, such as whitening, anti-aging, wrinkle removal, hair growth, etc.
As a manufacturer, we have sold a lot of thulium laser equipment.Acne removal is one of the very important functions.Only one treatment is needed to achieve excellent results.
In 2023, a customer from Ireland purchased our 1927 thulium laser for acne treatment projects and achieved great success, and gave extremely high feedback and evaluation.Today we will analyze the before and after of Liton Laser’s thulium laser treatment for acne.
If you want to know how 1927nm thulium laser removes acne, you must first have a certain understanding of thulium laser.
1927 Thulium Laser Enters the Skin
In the process of penetrating the skin, the 1927nm laser must be gradually attenuated and absorbed from the epidermis to somewhere in the dermis, because it is a long-pulse laser, which mainly manifests as a thermal effect.
From practice and testing, we know that the thermal effect is mainly in the middle layer of the dermis, and the epidermis, due to its low water content, will not be damaged by strong temperature rise during the heating process.
Therefore, when receiving treatment, customers will feel that the heat of 1927 is “very internal”. After the treatment, customers rarely have edema and damage, and only have transient slight redness of the skin.
Analysis of Thulium Laser Characteristics
1550nm/1927nm lasers are located in the near-infrared spectrum range, which are two small peaks of water absorption. In comparison, water absorbs only 1/6 of CO2 for 1927 thulium lasers.
Therefore, under the premise of safe treatment energy, 1927 + 1550nm lasers may have a deeper effect on the skin than CO2, and avoid vaporization and charring reactions, that is, avoid damaging skin tissue, and will not stimulate the activity of melanin.
Under this premise, the 1927nm thulium laser is mainly used for thermal coagulation rather than exfoliation and vaporization. It can be considered a safer infrared laser, so it has a broader application prospect.
Theory of Thulium Laser Therapy
After the treatment, the skin will produce a series of lasting effects.
1. Thulium Laser Pigment Removal
The first is that the water in the epidermis is heated and heated, causing some proteins to “micro” coagulate, which will simultaneously damage the melanin due to heat, and then be gradually discharged from the body surface and metabolized by macrophages in the body. This is the pigment removal function of 1927 thulium laser.
2. Thulium Laser Skin Rejuvenation
Second, because it penetrates into the dermis and slightly stimulates the dermal papillary layer, it can accelerate the synthesis of collagen and stimulate the division of keratinocytes. Therefore, 1927 thulium laser has the function of skin rejuvenation.
3. Thulium Laser for Acne Removal
Third, using the deeper thermal effect, it can effectively kill Propionibacterium acnes and inhibit the secretion of sebaceous glands. This is why it can remove acne.
What is Acne?
Acne is a chronic inflammatory skin disease that occurs frequently during adolescence and mainly affects the hair follicles and sebaceous glands on the face. Studies have found that more than 95% of people will develop acne to varying degrees, and 3%-7% of acne patients will be left with scars, which have a significant impact on the patient’s physical and mental health.
It is related to hormone-induced excessive lipid secretion of sebaceous glands under genetic background, abnormal keratinization of sebaceous gland ducts, proliferation of hair follicle microorganisms such as Propionibacterium acnes, and inflammatory and immune responses.
- Genetic factors play an important role in the occurrence of acne, especially severe acne.
- Androgen is the main inducing factor that causes sebaceous gland hyperplasia and lipid secretion.
- The large secretion of lipid by sebaceous glands is considered to be a prerequisite for the occurrence of acne.
- Abnormal keratinization of the sebaceous gland ducts, inflammation and immune response are the main pathological characteristics of acne, and the inflammatory response runs through the entire process of the disease.
Acne grading is an important basis for the selection of acne treatment options and the evaluation of efficacy. There are currently a variety of grading methods in the world. This guideline mainly divides acne into 3 degrees and 4 levels based on the nature of skin lesions, namely: mild (level 1): only comedones; moderate (level II): inflammatory papules; moderate (level III): pustules; severe (level IV): nodules and cysts.
Thulium Laser Acne Removal Steps
1. Consultation and evaluation.
Before starting treatment, patients need to have a detailed consultation with the doctor/beautician, who will assess the severity of the patient’s acne and skin type to determine the most suitable treatment plan.
2. Preparation before treatment.
The doctor will provide the patient with some pre-treatment preparations, such as cleaning the skin and determining the type of handpiece for the thulium laser, and preparing repair products (acne products such as salicylic acid).
3. Professional treatment process.
During treatment, the doctor will use a fractional handpiece and a random treatment mode to produce tiny beams on the patient’s skin. Thulium laser treatment of acne is usually a low-power non-ablative treatment. Patients will feel a warm sensation during the treatment. If the customer is not heat-tolerant, they can choose to use a fan or air cooler to cool the epidermis.
4. Post-treatment care.
After treatment, acne removal products will be applied as soon as possible, because after thulium laser treatment, the skin channels will be opened, and the use of products can achieve better treatment results. The doctor will also tell the patient how to take care of the skin in the later stage, such as using moisturizer and avoiding direct sunlight.
5. Result judgment.
Within a period of time after the treatment, the patient needs to have a regular check-up to ensure the treatment effect and avoid any possible complications. This is also feedback on the treatment results, which can be used to judge whether the treatment is really effective.
Acne Treatment Before and After Picture
The above picture shows the changes of an Irish patient before and after using Liton Laser to treat acne. It can be clearly observed that before the treatment, there were severe acne issues on the skin surface, with many pimples, large size, and severe redness.
After treatment with thulium laser (1927nm), the pimples became smaller, the color returned to normal, and the acne issues were greatly improved. And this is the change after only one treatment.
What are the Precautions?
- Choose the right time: Before laser treatment, patients should avoid sun exposure and use of any cosmetics or drugs on the skin that may cause damage to the skin, and clean the skin.
- Stick to the course of treatment: Thulium laser treatment of acne can achieve good results after the first treatment, but if you want to completely remove the effect, it usually takes several courses to see, so patients need to persist in the treatment.
- Postoperative care: After treatment, patients need to follow the doctor’s advice on skin care to avoid infection and promote skin recovery.
- Sun protection: After treatment, patients need to avoid direct sunlight to reduce damage to the skin.
