DEKA Laser Treatment
What is DEKA?
DEKA is a cutting-edge laser technology used for a variety of cosmetic dermatology treatments, including skin resurfacing, scar reduction, pigmentation correction, and skin tightening. Known for its precision and safety, DEKA offers effective, minimally invasive solutions to rejuvenate and improve skin appearance.
How It Works
DEKA lasers deliver targeted energy to the skin’s deeper layers, stimulating collagen production and promoting tissue regeneration. The treatment can be customized to address specific concerns such as wrinkles, acne scars, sun damage, and uneven texture.
What to Expect
Treatments are typically quick, lasting 20 to 45 minutes depending on the area. You may experience mild redness and swelling, similar to a mild sunburn, which usually resolves within a few days. A topical numbing agent is applied beforehand to enhance comfort.
Pre-Treatment Guidelines
- Avoid sun exposure and tanning for at least two weeks prior
- Discontinue retinoids and exfoliating products 3-5 days before treatment
- Inform your provider of any medications or skin conditions
Post-Treatment Care
- Keep the treated area clean and moisturized
- Avoid direct sun exposure and use broad-spectrum sunscreen daily
- Avoid harsh skincare products and makeup for 24-48 hours
- Follow any specific aftercare instructions provided by your practitioner
Results and Frequency
Initial improvements can be seen within 1-2 weeks, with continued enhancement over several months as collagen remodeling occurs. Depending on your treatment goals, a series of 3-5 sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart may be recommended.
Who is a Good Candidate?
DEKA laser treatments are suitable for most skin types and those seeking to improve skin texture, tone, and firmness with minimal downtime. Ideal candidates are in good overall health and free from active skin infections or certain medical conditions.
