How do I know which device suits me?

At a dermatocosmetologist visit your skin is assessed and your face scanned on JANUS PRO. The device is chosen by problem type, sometimes several are combined.

Do laser treatments hurt?

Most devices have cooling or are used with a numbing cream. It depends on the treatment: hair removal and IPL are usually mild, CO₂ resurfacing is done with anaesthesia.

Can I have laser treatment in summer?

Some treatments, yes, but the skin must not be tanned and strict SPF is needed afterwards. Pigment work and resurfacing are easier to start in autumn and winter.

How many sessions will I need?

It depends on the device and problem: IPL often 1–3 sessions, laser hair removal 6–8. The doctor gives the exact plan after the examination.

Device Cosmetology: Which Device for What

Device cosmetology: which device for which problem — hair removal, pigment, pores, redness, scars, papillomas. Radeski devices, Fergana.

Device cosmetology treats skin problems with lasers, intense pulsed light (IPL), radiofrequency and other medical devices. The clinic has many devices, and patients often ask, “Which laser do I need?” The better question is what is the problem? The device is chosen after the diagnosis. Here is which Radeski device is used for which problem.

First — an examination

At a dermatocosmetologist visit your skin is examined and your face is scanned on a JANUS PRO device: pigment, redness, pores and texture show up as numbers. Then the treatment plan is made — sometimes one device, sometimes a combination.
