Descrizione

Laser treatment has been safely and effectively used in many medical areas including functional gynecology and aesthetics. The second generation, non-ablative vaginal Er: YAG SMOOTH laser (VEL) and Nd:YAG laser have several therapeutic indications, particularly for Genitourinary Syndrome of Menopause (GSM), Stress Urinary Incontinence, Vaginal Prolapse among other gynecological and aesthetic applications. Currently available peer-reviewed publications unequivocally demonstrate the clinical effectiveness of VEL, associated with high tolerability and negligible rate of short-term complications. Thus, VEL can be offered as a safe and efficacious therapy, due to the high efficacy, the duration of the effects, and the intrinsic safety of repeated applications. The advanced pulse technologies allow for optimal energy delivery to enable excellent results with minor side-effects and short downtime, both for gentle ablative treatments and non-ablative thermal treatments. The same can be said for the Nd:YAG laser light, targeting deeper skin structures such as deep-lying veins and hair follicles. The Nd:YAG thermal energy of the laser can be modulated to achieve the desired effect, also stimulating the production of new collagen in the dermis. The overall result is that new skin forms, smoother and firmer. The introduction of these two complementary laser wavelengths in a single treatment can noticeably improve the outcome to accomplish superior clinical results in the clinical practice. Worldwide a wide range of Laser Specialists are performing these treatments. In the present book, laser experts disclose and share with the readers some of the procedures used in their clinical practice. The Authors explain their tips and tricks, their personal “recipes”, in a concise format. The Authors hope that these recipes, as in all good cookbooks, will support their Colleagues, as a reference for the everyday work.
