Advatex Laser Frequently Asked Questions

Q

What kind of treatment is the Advatex Laser?

A

Advatex Laser is a laser treatment that uses two wavelengths—589 nm and 1319 nm—to address skin concerns such as redness, enlarged pores, and acne scars.

Q

What conditions is the Advatex Laser effective for?

A

The Advatex Laser is used to address issues such as redness, acne, acne scars, enlarged pores, and skin firmness and radiance. The 589 nm wavelength is used to treat vascular redness, while the 1319 nm wavelength is used to improve skin firmness and reduce the appearance of pores.

Q

Can the Advatex Laser be used to treat acne?

A

AdvaTex Laser is also used to treat acne-prone skin and acne scars.

The 589 nm wavelength is highly effective at treating acne and vascular redness, making it ideal for skin concerns such as red acne and acne scars.

Q

Does the Advatex laser hurt?

A

AdvaTex Laser is characterized by its gentle treatment, designed to minimize pain and downtime. However, since pain tolerance varies from person to person, please consult with us if you have any concerns.

Q

Is there any downtime associated with the Advatex Laser?

A

Although the Advatex Laser is said to be a treatment with relatively little downtime, redness and other reactions may occur depending on the condition of your skin.

Q

How many Advatex Laser treatments do I need?

A

Advatex Laser typically recommends one course of treatment consisting of 3 to 5 sessions, with sessions scheduled once every 2 to 4 weeks. Since the appropriate number of sessions and the interval between them vary depending on your skin concerns and condition, a doctor will assess your condition and make a recommendation.

Q

How does the Advatex Laser at YAYOI CLINIC differentiate between the two wavelengths?

A

At YAYOI CLINIC, we use two different wavelengths—589 nm and 1319 nm—depending on the specific skin concern. The 589nm wavelength targets redness and acne, while the 1319nm wavelength addresses skin firmness, radiance, and enlarged pores. If you have multiple skin concerns, we may combine treatments using both wavelengths.

Q

At YAYOI CLINIC, how is the Advatex laser treatment administered based on specific skin concerns?

A

Yes. At YAYOI CLINIC, our doctors assess skin conditions such as redness, acne, and enlarged pores to determine whether the Advatex laser is appropriate for each patient. We also use skin analysis tools like the “VISIA®” system to propose treatment plans tailored to each individual’s specific skin condition.

Q

Is the Advatex Laser effective for treating enlarged pores?

A

AdvaTex Laser is one of the treatments designed to address enlarged pores. The 1319 nm wavelength targets the dermis and supports collagen production, which can help improve the appearance of pores and enhance skin firmness. Since the most appropriate treatment varies depending on the condition of your pores, please consult with a doctor.

Q

Can I apply makeup immediately after an Advatex laser treatment at YAYOI CLINIC?

A

Yes. With the Advatex Laser, you can apply makeup immediately after treatment, provided there are no complications. This treatment is a good option for those who want to undergo the procedure while minimizing downtime, as well as for those who wish to keep the impact on their work and other plans to a minimum.
