TwinLight Fractional Laser

Twinlight Fractional laser is a straightforward 3 step procedure, designed to dramatically improve skin’s texture and give it a younger, healthier appearance. With the revolutionary new TwinLight® Fractional Rejuvenation technique, skin concerns can be targeted with laser light, sparing the surrounding healthy skin. Unlike other laser treatments, fractional laser resurfacing uses a pinpoint laser beam to enter the skin deep into the area where the damage first began, allowing it to accurately target thousands of minuscule spots. The procedure offered at Perfection Cosmetic Clinic in Toronto encourages your body to heal itself, resulting in the growth of new, healthy skin to replace the injured skin. The innovative method preserves healthy skin cells and exclusively targets injured skin cells, hence accelerating the healing process. When compared to other facial resurfacing procedures, this results in minimal downtime.

Fractional light rejuvenation gives a degree of control and efficacy that permits extremely exact skin sculpting, and it can produce an appearance that is precisely suited to your expectations. Treatment options range from superficial touch-ups to extensive collagen remodeling, making them perfect for individuals who desire significant rejuvenation effects but are not interested in harsh surgical or chemical methods. With this advanced technology, this procedure is appropriate for all skin types and tones.

MORE ABOUT TwinLight Fractional Laser

Causes of fine lines, wrinkles and other skin concerns

Throughout the aging process, there are many of us that find as we age, issues like wrinkles, flexibility in the skin, and increased pores can diminish our confidence.

As the synthesis of collagen and elastin, the proteins that maintain our skin firm and smooth, naturally declines, signs of aging on our skin start to appear. Since UV radiation from the sun has been found to degrade collagen fibers and promote the formation of melanin, sun exposure may also be related to some skin issues. Greater melanin, the natural skin pigment that gives our skin, hair, and eyes their color, can result in undesirable skin pigmentation including fine lines and wrinkles, big pores, and skin laxity when collagen and elastin levels are reduced.

Older, saggier, rougher skin can also be a result of other causes such as skin injuries, smoking habits, and hormone changes. Apart from sun exposure and aging, excessive oil production during hormone fluctuations can also cause huge pores by blocking the skin and making it appear larger.

Benefits of Twinlight Fractional laser in Toronto

There are two types of lasers combined in the TwinLight Fractional Rejuvenation system at Perfection Cosmetic Clinic. These each have two wavelengths and are highly tuned. The Nd:YAG has a lengthy pulse, while the Er:YAG has a variable square pulse.

Deep heating is possible with the Nd:YAG beam. This is essential for your skin's renewal and repair. In parallel, the skin is resurfaced by the Er:YAG radiation through varying degrees of coagulation. It is necessary for the development of firm, fresh skin. Using this treatment it is possible to achieve the following:

skin tightening
skin refining
volumetric growth in the face
scar reduction or removal
minimize or get rid of skin pimples and lumps
minimize or eliminate vascular lesions, which are visible blood vessels through the skin.
minimize or get rid of wrinkles and creases around the mouth and eyes
lessen or get rid of pigmentation.

In addition to the above benefits, the fact that the laser beam accurately targets skin defects only—leaving healthy skin unaffected—makes our TwinLight laser treatment the best in laser skin resurfacing and skin rejuvenation. The heat produced by the energy of the laser beam stimulates the production of new dermal (skin) protein, and this rejuvenation process is accelerated by leaving the surrounding, unaffected skin intact. This implies that you'll get fantastic outcomes much faster. Some of the unique advantageous features of this treatment are as follows:

What to expect

To begin your appointment with us at Perfection Cosmetic Clinic in Toronto, we will host a consultation with you to go over your expectations, goals, and to confirm candidacy for Twinlight laser. During your consultation, we will go over relevant medical history, medications and anything else that can have an affect on the procedure. This is also the time for you to ask questions and share with us your ideal aesthetic goals so we can develop a unique treatment plan for you.

The amount of Twinlight laser treatments necessary will depend on the extent of damage and what you want treated. For more surface level, pigment related issues, normally with one session you will see improvement. With more severe pigment issues, texture, and wrinkle issues we recommend 3 treatments minimum at about 1 month apart to see improvement. The number of treatments can also vary depending on how many laser passes you are comfortable with, more laser passes means longer recovery time. With this fantastic treatment there is more ability to tailor your appointments so you can spread out the twilight treatments depending on what you're comfortable with.

Once the consultation at Perfection Cosmetic Clinic is completed, we will begin your treatment with the Twinlight Fractional laser. The treatment is generally considered not too painful, however for your utmost comfort we will apply numbing cream before beginning the treatment. Since twinlight laser treatment can work to resolve more surface level concerns as well as help with deeper set issues, the amount of time for an appointment can vary slightly, on average the treatment takes 45 minutes - 1 hour to complete.

You will relax comfortably on a treatment table in a safe radiation room for your TwinLight laser treatment in Toronto. If you have any additional questions, your designated practitioner will also be able to answer them for you. Your practitioner will begin laser passes, since this procedure deals with heat we will also have a cooling device going while the laser treats your skin. Once the treatment is completed, we will apply a deep hydration and recovery medical grade mask, to aid in reducing any inflammation and improving possible dryness.

You can have some redness and swelling after treatment. The degree of these side effects will vary depending on the severity of the treatment and the reaction of each persons’ skin. Because the strength of the treatment might vary, so too will the recovery following the course of treatment. It is common to feel heat from the skin, experience dryness, similar to that of a sunburn. This should resolve on its own within the next week following your appointment.

A lighter level treatment can take a few days to recover, while more intense treatments can take four to seven days to recover, which is great for tightening, volumizing the skin and minimizing wrinkles. Your treated skin will seem brighter, have a more even skin tone, and feel softer to the touch after the initial healing phase is over. Over the course of the following three to six months, progressive results happen as the skin's deeper layers continue to heal and collagen continues to form and grow.

FAQ

Is Twinlight laser treatment painful?

There is minimal discomfort involved but for extra comfort we will apply topical numbing cream and cooling during the procedure. During the treatment, you will mostly feel applied heat and afterwards some irritation and dryness as the skin heals.

How many treatments of Twinlight laser will I need?

Firstly, the skin conditions being treated will affect the number of sessions required. If there is only superficial pigmentation and minimal signs of aging you may need only one session. If you have very loose or sagging skin and severe sun damage present then you may require further treatments. The second factor which will affect how many treatments you need is your skin and lifestyle needs. The treatment can be tailored to be more intense, or less intense, depending on how much downtime you are comfortable with. Our qualified laser practitioners will be able to give you an indication of how many sessions you’ll need when you have your initial consultation. Some patients have only needed one treatment, while others have needed two or three. An annual TwinLight treatment is an excellent approach to postpone further aging and sun damage.

How long does it take to see results?

The first result you will notice is once the initial dryness clears up, and irritation subsides you will see refreshed, glowing skin. To see the full results materialize, the average time is about 6 weeks and 6 months depending on the treatment intensity.

How long is the downtime after the Twinlight laser?

The majority of patients may resume their regular activities with minimal concern thanks to the TwinLight laser. There will be some surface level changes, but most of them can be concealed with a minimal makeup correction. We don’t suggest scheduling a TwinLight treatment during a week that also includes a big event because this “downtime” will take seven to ten days.

Are there any side effects?

Leading up to two days after your treatment, you will likely experience dryness and possibly some inflammation. This is due to the blood vessels dilating and the white blood cells moving to the area to begin healing. After a few days leading up to a week it will mostly be dryness and flaking, cell migration and maturation will begin as the healing process starts to work. The last stage which usually appears after a week, is the protein production in the deeper layers of the skin, usually once the dryness has cleared.

How long do the results last?

Since this is a reparative and corrective treatment, it can vary depending on genetics and behavior after your treatment. We will normally recommend this treatment once a year for the upkeep of your results. Variables such as how much sun exposure you get, if you are wearing SPF, genetic disposition, can all play a part in the development of age related skin conditions. The more you can refrain from what would be considered “bad” for your skin, the longer you will maintain the same look from your Twinlight laser results.
