What is the 1570 nm Laser and how does it work?
The 1570 nm laser is a non-ablative technology designed to stimulate collagen production in the skin. Unlike ablative lasers, which vaporize the superficial layers of the skin, the 1570 nm laser penetrates into the deeper layers without damaging the surface. This allows for faster recovery and no visible downtime.
Its mechanism of action is based on controlled heating of the dermis, which triggers a natural response from the body to produce new collagen and elastin. This neocollagenesis process progressively improves skin texture, tone, and firmness. The results are gradual and aim for a natural improvement in overall appearance.
Who is the 1570 nm Laser for?
This treatment is indicated for people looking to improve their skin quality, reduce fine lines and wrinkles, and achieve greater firmness. It is suitable for those who prefer non-invasive options and wish to avoid the recovery period associated with more aggressive treatments. It adapts to different skin types.
It is an excellent option for facial rejuvenation, the neck, and décolletage. It can also be beneficial for treating mild acne scars or improving the appearance of enlarged pores. A prior medical assessment is essential to determine the suitability of the treatment in each particular case.
The treatment process: What to expect?
Consultation and Planning
Every treatment begins with a detailed medical consultation to assess your skin and your goals. Our qualified doctors will design a personalized protocol, considering your specific needs. The procedure, expected results, and any possible precautions will be explained to you.
During the Session
The 1570 nm laser session is generally well tolerated. A conductive gel is applied to the treatment area and the device is gently glided over the skin. You may feel a sensation of warmth or small pricks, but it is not usually painful. The duration of each session varies depending on the area treated, usually between 30 and 60 minutes.
After Treatment and Recovery
One of the main advantages of the 1570 nm laser is the absence of downtime. Immediately after the session, the skin may show slight redness or swelling, which usually disappears within a few hours. You can resume your daily activities normally.
It is essential to protect the skin from the sun with a broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 50+) after each session. The results are not immediate, as collagen production is a gradual process. Several sessions are usually recommended to obtain the full benefits.
Results and Timeline
The results of the 1570 nm laser are progressive and natural, manifesting over the weeks and months following treatment. The skin acquires a smoother, firmer, and more luminous appearance. The improvement in texture and reduction of fine lines are gradually noticeable.
The number of sessions needed varies according to individual characteristics and the objectives of each patient. Generally, a cycle of 3 to 5 sessions is recommended, spaced every 3 or 4 weeks. Final results are evaluated several months after the last session, once the collagen has had time to regenerate.
