  2. ThermaScan: 1319 Nd:Yag • No absorption into melanin and hemoglobin • Secondary heating from water and protein • Highest water content in papillary dermis Relative sparing of epidermis • Surface cooling provides epidermal protection • Heating of deep dermis to 60C: • Reduces sebaceous gland oil production • Depending on cooling temperature and fluence • The degree of dermal heating can be tuned accurately upper mid lower

  3. Temperature in the Region Near theD/E Junction Versus Cooling Time 12C Cooling Devise Scattering and conduction pre-heats the tissue under an adjacent pulse. papillary dermis Brief 60C Heating It can take several seconds for subsurface tissue to cool

  4. ThermaScan Features • Non-sequential scanning • Fast treatment of large surface areas • Precise placement • No pulse stacking • Eliminates heat buildup • Flat-top beam profile • No central hot spot • Uniform heating • Controlled contact cooling

  5. Collagen Remodeling • Thermally injure a dermal region in the skin • Initiate the body’s wound healing response • Stimulate fibroblast activity • Exercise the skin’s wound healing ability to remodel or replace collagen

  6. Fibroblast Stimulation Following Dermal Heating before treatment 3 weeks post 1319 tx James Newman, M.D.

  7. Collagen Remodeling Initiated 4 months after 1319 Tx Photodamaged, aged skin New collagen Photos courtesy of David Goldberg, M.D.
