Skin Rejuvenation With the SkinStation^®

Nonablative skin rejuvenation is gaining popularity among patients because it requires little to no downtime and carries a very low risk of any permanent complications. This technique can address a wide variety of issues, such as acne, uneven skin tone and texture, pigmented lesions, and vascular irregularities. Some skin-rejuvenation techniques currently available are radio frequency, intense pulsed light, and lasers. However, lasers and intense pulsed light devices require large and expensive systems that necessitate high fluences that could be detrimental to the epidermis. The SkinStation^®, with its proprietary light and heat energy, enables the use of low fluences coupled with heat to achieve the desired skin rejuvenation effect without risk to the epidermis. We have been using the SkinStation for the treatment of acne vulgaris, pigmented lesions, telangiectasia, and rosacea with positive results. The recent adjunct of 5-aminolevulinic acid with the SkinStation as photodynamic therapy has enabled us to achieve faster and better results with minimal downtime and lower risk.
