Thulium laser
Thulium laser brand is recognised throughout the world. Operation of the laser involves production of thousands of micro-damages (not visible to the naked eye), which provokes healing processes in the body, including production of new collagen. Clinically, the improvement involves the effect of skin “constriction”, renewal of uneven epidermis, filling of various scars and removal of hyperpigmentation spots.
Thulium laser is another edition of the Fraxel laser. The difference is related to inclusion of two devices in the system. Apart from the classical Fraxel, the therapist may use another laser wave length, responsible for effective removal of hyperpigmentation. Amazing effects are usually achieved already after one treatment, and the time of convalescence, in the form of presence of visible dark spots, is on average 4 days.
Why is it worth it?
Considering high efficacy of the treatment and low nuisance to the patient, it may be referred to as the gold standard of aesthetic laser therapy. Most patients will see a difference already a few days after the treatment. However, a true advantage is “shaping” of collagen fibres in the deep skin layers. As a result, the patient will experience gradual improvement, smoothing and improvement of skin tension over a year after the series of treatments.

Effects
During one thulium laser treatment, approximately 20%-25% of the treated skin area is intended to be exposed. The results are instant and progressing. Moreover, thulium laser light stimulates deeper layers of the skin to produce new collagen, whose production decreases with the passage of time. The optimum effect is usually achieved after 2-3 months. Changes in the epidermis and collagen fibres caused by the Fraxel® laser therapy are durable; yet, sunlight, passage of time and gravity do have impact. The thulium laser “turns back the clock”, but it will not stop it.
