LUX 1540 Fractional Laser Resurfacing
Laser & Derm Kansas City Skin Care Center

NEW 1540 FRACTIONAL COMPETITOR OUT FOR FRAXEL™

The Lux 1540 Fractional Laser Resurfacing system is a tremendous innovation from Palomar Medical with fabulous advantages over Fraxel™ laser resurfacing.  The Fraxel™ laser requires blue dye to be put on the face and can be messy and labor intensive.

Our office's Lux 1540 Fractional, a Fraxel™ competitor, does not require the patient to sit or lay for long periods ahead of time with a messy blue dye on the skin.  Lux 1540 Fractional can be done with or without anesthetic, but we generally use a topical anesthetic for 30 minutes before the procedure and thus the whole procedure can be made much more comfortable.

How Many Treatments Are Needed?
Fraxel ™ laser operators often require or suggest up to four or five treatment sessions. In comparison, the Lux 1540 Fractional laser requires around three sessions in most circumstances.  Excellent results have been obtained for acne scars, pigmentation disorders like melasma, sun and age-damaged skin, line and wrinkle resurfacing, along with improvement in stretch marks and striae  from reporting of clinical researchers. 

Another great advantage is that the Lux 1540 Fractional can be done for about one-half of the cost of the Fraxel™ laser for an individual treatment with our special discount pricing. 

This is based on average charges reported from patients and doctor's offices from around the country of about $1200 per each Fraxel™ treatment session.  Since packages are many times required, if you realize only three treatments are needed instead of five, you are out a lot of money. There is a tremendous financial savings with the Lux 1540 Fractional and our office never requires the purchasing of packages.

Cost comparison example :
Fraxel™ for a needed four sessions averages about $4800 around the country, while the Lux 1540 Fractional, the newest competitor from Palomar, averages about $2100 for the needed three sessions. Local areas can be done for as little as $375 per session using the Lux 1540 Fractional.

Palomar developed and patented Fractional Photothermolysis first, ahead of other companies, to create a revolutionary treatment: in non-ablative soft tissue coagulation and skin resurfacing with high efficacy and no downtime.

How Does It Work?
The Palomar Lux1540 Fractional Laser handpiece, FDA cleared for soft tissue coagulation, delivers light in an array of high precision microbeams. These microbeams create narrow, deep columns of tissue coagulation that penetrate well below the epidermis and into the dermis, while sparing the tissue surrounding the columns from damage.

The coagulated tissue within the columns initiates a natural healing process that accelerates the formation of new, healthy tissue. Excess pigment and coagulated cellular debris are expelled as the skin is resurfaced.

Throughout the process, the integrity of the stratum corneum is maintained, which protects the tissue from infection as it heals. The result: faster dermal remodeling and skin resurfacing.

High Efficacy, No Downtime
The Palomar Lux1540 offers greater energy per microbeam (up to 100 mJ), and greater depth of penetration (up to1 mm) than any competing device. This stimulates quick healing within the surrounding deep tissue for the most effective deep corrections and long-term dermal remodeling obtainable.

In addition, the Lux1540 delivers uniform microbeam penetration at all times, a consistency that competing systems can’t match.

Safety and Comfort
The Palomar Lux 1540 delivers its microbeams in individual short pulses, rather than using a continuous wave that can overheat the skin and cause discomfort.
