SMARTXIDE PUNTO
SmartXide Punto is a cutting-edge skin treatment utilising fractional CO2 laser technology. It's designed to address a variety of skin concerns and conditions on the face and body, ranging from wrinkles and fine lines to scars and uneven skin tone. This advanced laser system delivers precise and controlled bursts of laser energy to targeted areas of the skin, creating thermal energy in the deeper layers which stimulate the body's natural healing process and promote collagen production.
The treatment process begins with a consultation, during which your skin concerns and treatment goals are discussed. Ambra’s skincare professional then customises the treatment plan based on your individual's needs, offering either a Soft Laser Peel (for mild to moderate concerns) or Deep Laser Peel (for more significant results). Before the procedure, a topical numbing cream may be applied to ensure a more comfortable experience.
During the SmartXide Punto procedure, the handheld laser device is passed over the skin, delivering microbeams of laser energy. These microbeams create tiny, controlled injuries in the skin's deeper layers, triggering the body's natural healing response. As the skin heals, new collagen is produced, resulting in smoother, firmer, and more youthful-looking skin.
One of the key benefits of SmartXide Punto is its versatility. As it’s currently the only CO2 laser to use SmartPulse and SmartStack technology, it can effectively treat a wide range of skin concerns, including:
Wrinkles and fine lines - the laser stimulates collagen production, improving skin elasticity and reducing the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.
Scars - whether caused by acne, surgery, or injury, SmartXide Punto can help minimise the appearance of scars by promoting collagen remodelling and skin regeneration.
Uneven skin tone and texture - the laser targets areas of pigmentation and uneven texture, resulting in a more even and radiant complexion.
Skin laxity - by stimulating collagen production, SmartXide Punto can tighten and firm loose or sagging skin, particularly in areas like the face, neck, and décolletage.
The effects of micro-ablation are often noticeable within days of the treatment. Over the following 3-6 months, collagen production continues to increase, and enhanced rejuvenation of the skin will gradually develop. We’ll discuss the type of laser peel that is most suitable for you and your concerns at the initial consultation, and whilst SmartXide Punto produces great results after just one session, the number of treatments required may vary. Typically, the Deep Laser Peel only needs a single session to achieve the desired result, with 2-3 sessions recommended for the Soft laser Peel - undergoing follow-up treatments every 4-6 weeks.
Overall, SmartXide Punto offers safe, effective, and long-lasting rejuvenation that can be preserved through regular maintenance treatments.
