1. Delivering laser energy externally into the middle layer of the skin
The physician scans the handpiece over the area to be treated, distributing energy evenly in small points, and adjusts energy delivery to suit the area and concern.
PROGRAM
LightSCAN™
Renew the skin for a smoother, firmer look with laser light
Enlarged pores, uneven texture, oily skin, and fine lines are concerns that make the skin look dull, even with a consistent skincare routine.
PROGRAM LightSCAN™ is a skin-renewal program that delivers laser light into the skin. It stimulates the repair process and collagen remodeling, reduces the activity of the sebaceous glands beneath the skin, and stimulates blood circulation to the skin so that skin cells are stimulated and restored to function properly, making the skin look smoother and firmer. It can be used for skin-quality care or together with the EndoliftX® program, according to the assessment of a specialist physician.
What is PROGRAM LightSCAN™?
PROGRAM LightSCAN™ here refers to the use of the LightSCAN™ handpiece, which can deliver 1470 nm laser light energy from the outer layer of the skin into the middle layer to treat the skin externally, without inserting an optical fiber under the skin.
The handpiece delivers energy in small points distributed across the treatment area, in what is known as Fractional Laser treatment. The physician can adjust the scan area, point density, and energy level to suit each person’s skin.
When used as Non-ablative Fractional Resurfacing, it focuses on delivering energy to the outer layer and the middle layer of the skin to stimulate renewal, without broad abrasion of the upper skin layer.
How does LightSCAN™ work?
2. Stimulating renewal with a specific laser wavelength
1470 nanometer laser light is delivered to the skin precisely and gently using Fractional Non-ablative laser technology. This 1470 nm laser is highly specific: the energy is absorbed by water in the tissue, stimulating the repair process and collagen remodeling, and is also absorbed by fat cells, which reduces the activity of the sebaceous glands. It can therefore control facial oiliness, one cause of acne and certain types of inflamed skin, very well.
What can LightSCAN™ help with?
Uneven skin texture and enlarged pores
Helps renew the skin and stimulate the production of collagen and elastin fibers for finer skin and smaller pores.
Acne scars, surgical scars, and abdominal stretch marks
Helps make scars and acne scars shallower. The physician must first assess the type and depth of acne scars, and some cases may require additional treatment.
Fine lines and skin that is starting to sag
Stimulates remodeling of the collagen fibers, which act as the main structure of the skin layers, making the skin firmer.
Reducing facial oiliness, acne, and inflamed skin
Because 1470 nm laser light is specific to fat cells, when the fat cells beneath the skin receive energy their activity decreases. The causes of oily skin, acne, and inflamed skin such as Seborrheic dermatitis are therefore addressed, and the skin can improve.
Key features of PROGRAM LightSCAN™
Treatment is tailored to each person’s skin condition and treatment plan.
Delivers energy from the outer layer of the skin
Can be adjusted to the skin condition, including scan area, point density, and energy
Addresses multiple skin concerns, including fine lines, scars, acne, oily skin, and skin laxity
Can be used together with EndoliftX® and other skin-care programs according to the treatment plan
Safe, with no downtime
Who may be suitable for PROGRAM LightSCAN™?
It may suit people seeking skin renewal through externally delivered energy.
- Uneven texture or enlarged pores
- Fine lines or skin that is starting to lose firmness
- Acne scars and abdominal stretch marks
- People who want to restore skin quality without downtime
- People considering skin treatment alongside fiber-delivered EndoliftX®
- People with acne, oily skin, or inflamed skin that requires steroids, and who want the physician to assess additional treatment options
People with significant laxity, or whose main concern is accumulated fat, may need other or combined approaches.
Preparing for treatment
01
Have a skin assessment to define treatment goals and select suitable settings
02
Tell the doctor about medical conditions, medication, and allergies, including acne medication, photosensitizing medication, herpes history, and abnormal scarring
03
Mention recent procedures such as laser, resurfacing, filler, or thread lifts
04
Avoid intense sun exposure and sunburn. If the skin is red, stinging, or peeling, tell the clinic first
05
Ask whether to pause potentially irritating skincare such as exfoliating acids, retinoids, and scrubs
06
Tell the clinic about wounds, rash, herpes, or infection in the treatment area, as well as pregnancy or breastfeeding
07
Do not stop regular medication on your own. Always consult the doctor first
Aftercare after LightSCAN™
After treatment, the skin may feel warm and look pinkish, only temporarily. The skin color returns to normal in approximately 1–2 hours, depending on the energy settings used for the skin concern. Care for the skin gently and follow the doctor’s instructions.
- Cleanse gently with a mild product without rubbing hard, for approximately 2 weeks after treatment
- Apply a moisturizer suited to your skin condition
- Use sunscreen and avoid intense sun exposure
- Avoid scrubbing with exfoliating granules, exfoliating acids, and retinoids for approximately 2 weeks after treatment
- Avoid intense heat, such as saunas, for approximately 1 week
- Do not pick, scratch, or peel any crusting, if present
- Resume makeup when the skin is ready according to the clinic’s instructions, or around day 3 after treatment
If combined with fiber-delivered EndoliftX®, follow the additional care instructions for the fiber entry sites. Contact the clinic if worsening pain or burning, blisters, or unusual swelling and redness occur.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
A: You may feel warmth on the skin, depending on the energy level, treatment area, and individual sensitivity. The doctor will assess ways to improve comfort.
A: The number depends on the concern and skin response. The doctor may plan a series and assess progress during the course to adjust the number of sessions and intervals. On average, results are seen after approximately 4 treatments, spaced every 2–4 weeks, and the number of treatments will differ for each skin concern.
A: This depends on the concern treated, skin condition, energy settings, and aftercare, especially acne and oiliness, which involve multiple factors. Once the concern has been brought under control, the frequency of visits is spaced further apart, moving into a continued-care phase to maintain healthy skin, under the assessment of a specialist physician.
A: Some people may notice changes after just one session, and it can be chosen as a program that provides good skin quality and continued firmness, and helps make results after EndoliftX® last longer.
A: Treatment with the LightSCAN™ program alone is external skin care and does not cause wounds or abrasions of the skin. The skin recovers quickly. Ask about the recovery period for the planned settings, especially before an important occasion.
A: This depends on the skin after treatment. In general, it is recommended to avoid makeup for approximately 1–3 days after treatment with this program, or as advised by the doctor, so that the skin can fully recover without disturbance from chemicals, fragrance, or preservatives in cosmetic products.
Results vary between individuals depending on skin condition, energy settings, and response to treatment. A medical assessment is required before treatment.
