New Rejuvenation Options for Treating the Neck, Chest and Décolleté

Laser skin rejuvenation and tightening is quickly becoming one of the hottest treatments in the cosmetic and aesthetic world. Watch Khalil Khatri, MD & Pam Bennett, RN present and discuss skin tightening procedures using the LightPod Neo at the 2013 Aerolase International Clinical Summit (AICS). Published research has demonstrated that the Nd:YAG 1064nm laser modality has an affinity for absorption within the water in the skin tissue, and that laser irradiation with millisecond pulse durations travels deep into the papillary dermis at depths of up to 7mm; the resultant heating can create a localized effect in the papillary dermis of stimulating the formation of new collagen fibers. Such collagenesis is attributed with certain cosmetic enhancements of the aging skin, in particular “non-ablative skin rejuvenation” (improvements in skin tone and texture including the smoothing of fine lines, and the reduction of vascular and pigmented lesions) and “skin tightening” (a tightening effect on lax skin). The purpose of this study was to evaluate a 650 microsecond pulsed Nd:YAG 1064nm laser in terms of its ability to safely and effectively perform non-ablative skin rejuvenation and skin tightening in two treatment sessions, without the need for any anesthetics.
