Er:YAG for treating and plumping lips

Clessya Rocha, dermatologist

Jequié, BA - Brazil

This is a case report in the form of a white paper by Dr. Clessya Rocha, dermatologist, from Jequié, Bahia, Brazil. Dr. Rocha used the ETHEREA-MX® platform with the DualMode® handpiece and InLift® applicator. 

Treatment:

DualMode® is a solid-state LASER from Er:YAG. 


  • The wavelength generated by this LASER (2940 nm) is strongly absorbed by water and therefore it is ablative. The presence of optical or mechanical fractioners makes treatment in the doctor's office possible, with very little downtime. 


  • The InLift® applicator works with a pulse in smooth mode and each time it fires, there is a sequence of pulses with 8 intervals, mitigating the effect of ablation. The result is a long pulse of 400 ms, producing a greater collagen stimulation and lower tissue vaporization. 


  • This applicator can be used for intra-oral and lip treatment. It is also indicated for vaginal rejuvenation, both internal and external structures. 
Parameters used:
  • 45 mJ/mtz in fractional mode, with 100 shots on each side and an interval of 2 weeks between sessions. There were 4 treatment sessions.
