1927 nm thulium laser — LaseMD Ultra (Lutronic) in Kokand
1927 nm thulium laser: indications, contraindications, treatment results, skin recovery and pigmentation treatment.
The 1927 nm thulium laser is a modern laser technology used to improve skin quality, correct certain types of pigmentation and reduce signs of photoaging. Radeski Skin Clinic uses the LaseMD Ultra fractional thulium laser by Lutronic.
Fractional systems treat the skin in small zones, leaving untouched tissue between them that takes part in healing.
The key feature of the thulium laser is that it works mainly in the superficial layers of the skin. That makes it relevant for patients concerned about uneven skin tone, pigment spots, sun damage and rough skin.
How effective and how deep the treatment is depends on the device, the treatment mode, skin condition and individual patient factors.
Manufacturer: Lutronic (South Korea)
How does it work?
The laser energy interacts with the water in the tissue and creates controlled zones of thermal effect. In fractional mode this stimulates skin renewal and gradually improves its appearance.
- Gradual fading of some pigment spots
- A more even, uniform skin tone
- Improved texture and smoothness
- Fewer visible signs of photoaging
- Gradual improvement in overall skin quality
Indications
Pigment spots
The thulium laser can be used to correct some types of superficial pigmentation, including sun spots and certain age-related pigment changes. Before treatment the doctor must determine the origin of the spots: not every dark spot is ordinary pigmentation, and some lesions need to be examined first.
Uneven skin tone
If the complexion has become uneven, darker patches have appeared after sun exposure or the skin looks dull, laser treatment can help even out the tone. The result depends on the cause of the pigment change and the individual skin response.
Photoaging
Over time, sunlight causes pigment spots, roughness and other signs of photodamage. The fractional thulium laser can be used to improve the appearance of photoaged skin. Regular sun protection is essential to maintain the result.
Uneven skin texture
Treatment can help make the skin smoother and reduce some superficial irregularities.
Who is it for?
The thulium laser may be a good option for adults who want to improve skin tone and texture, reduce sun spots or correct certain signs of photoaging.
- Skin type and tendency to pigmentation
- The nature and depth of pigment changes
- Any inflammation or skin damage
- Previous cosmetic procedures
- Current medications and how the skin heals
- Contraindications and realistic expectations
Contraindications
Whether treatment is possible is decided individually. The main reasons to postpone or avoid it are:
- Active skin infections in the treatment area, including a herpes flare-up
- Marked inflammation, irritation or skin damage in the area to be treated
- A fresh tan or recent intense sun exposure
- Suspicious lesions that have not yet been examined
- Conditions that impair tissue healing
- Certain diseases and medications that increase light sensitivity or the risk of complications
- Pregnancy and breastfeeding, when elective aesthetic procedures are usually postponed
- Other individual circumstances in which the doctor considers laser treatment unsafe
A tendency to keloid scarring, active skin diseases, immune disorders and the use of systemic retinoids require a separate risk assessment. These circumstances do not always mean the same restriction for every laser system.
How we use it at Radeski Clinic
Radeski Skin Clinic's Kokand branch uses the LaseMD Ultra 1927 nm fractional thulium laser by Lutronic. Treatment settings, the number of sessions and the intervals between them are set individually by the doctor based on skin condition.
At the clinic, the 1927 nm thulium laser is also used as part of combined treatment for hair loss and thinning.
Procedure steps
- Consultation: The doctor examines the skin and asks about complaints, medical history and previous procedures. Additional tests are ordered if needed.
- Skin preparation: The specialist sets the treatment parameters based on skin phototype, the treatment area and the goal. A topical anesthetic is applied when needed, according to the device protocol.
- Laser treatment: The doctor treats the selected area step by step. During the procedure you may feel warmth, tingling or moderate burning. How intense it feels depends on the settings and your sensitivity.
- Aftercare: Redness, mild swelling, a feeling of dryness and fine flaking may follow. The doctor explains how to care for your skin and when you can return to your usual skincare products.
Results: what to expect
Results develop gradually. In the first days the skin may look red, and pigmented areas sometimes become temporarily more visible before they improve. As the skin recovers, you may see:
- Some pigment spots becoming less visible
- A more even skin tone
- Smoother skin and better texture
- Some signs of photoaging becoming less noticeable
- A fresher, more uniform look
