Harvey S. Shiffman: Breakthrough Aesthetic Laser Applications of »Smooth Mode« in Dentistry
There is a decrease in normal collagen in aged and sun-damaged skin. A key target cell is the fibroblast. SmoothLase™ is a fractional, non-ablative laser therapy intended to stimulate aged and quiescent fibrobasts and induce neo-collagenesis.
SmoothLase™ uses the photothermal capabilities of the LightWalker Erbium:YAG laser to convert and initiate the formation of new and more elastic collagen. Using Fotona’s proprietary fractal “Pixel Screen” technology, this updated protocol has been developed to be used intra-orally for facial rejuvenation. Depending on the depth of the vestibule, we are able to treat wrinkles, lines and sagging from the infraorbital area to the angle of the mandible. This includes peri-oral vertical lip lines and the “disappearing” lips seen in mature adults. An introduction of Liplase℠ lip rejuvenation therapy showing its use to rejuvenate, plump and define lips will be included.
