DualMode® Er:YAG - Full Face Resurfacing and Eyelid Flaccidity.

Dr. Phillip Solomon, Plastic Surgeon

Toronto, Ontario, Canada

This is a treatment report carried out by the plastic surgeon, Dr.Phillip Solomon, from Toronto, Ontario, Canada, using the DualMode® ZYE YAG® technologies.

Treatment:
  • As the aging process progresses, the appearance of wrinkles and flaccidity are common. The treatment of some wrinkles and flaccidity is more complicated, often due to their location. Treatments in the periorbital region must be precise and delicate because this area is very fine.


  • Various treatments are described for this region: lotions with retinoic acid, antioxidants and moisturizers, superficial and intermediate peeling and non-ablative and ablative fractional LASERs.


  • The use of Er:YAG ablative fractional LASER promotes the vaporization of the damaged epidermis and partial dermal ablation. Dermal remodeling results in the replacement of damaged collagen and elastin by new collagen and elastin, improving the appearance of the crow’s feet and flaccidity.


  • The DualMode® handpiece, which is compatible with the ETHEREA-MX® and ZYE® platforms, has a wavelength of 2940 nm (Er:YAG), allowing more aggressive (in DualMode® – CO² like) and less aggressive treatments (single pulse) and even treatments with minimal ablative effect (Smooth pulse - Inlift® and Truelift®). The choice of the ideal treatment mode improves the results, with the ability to change according to each patient’s needs.


  • The patient presented with solar lentigines, mild to moderate wrinkles, rhytides and eyelid flaccidity. The patient received 2 treatments to her face and eyelid area.
