DEKA DUOGLIDE LASER – THE PINNACLE OF PITTED SCAR TREATMENT TECHNOLOGY

Doctor Acnes

Introduction to the DEKA DUOGlide laser system

DEKA DUOGlide is a laser system developed by DEKA, an Italian company with nearly 30 years of experience in the medical laser field. This laser system combines two wavelengths (CO2 10600nm and Er:Glass 1540nm) to optimize effectiveness in dermatological applications.

Operating principle

  • The DEKA DUOGlide machine with its ability to deliver two wavelengths (1540nm and 10600nm) singly or sequentially in the same laser pulse helps stimulate collagen effectively and minimizes downtime
  • The synergistic effect of the two CO2 and 1540nm wavelengths helps create uniform adjacent thermal action in the scanning area while preserving interspersed healthy skin to support faster recovery
  • The machine’s emission depth can reach the deep dermis and hypodermis of the skin – this cannot be achieved with ablative laser sources alone
  • The 1540nm wavelength acts directly on the sebaceous glands to help treat acne, shrink pores and limit acne recurrence after treatment

      • Accurate adjustment of wavelength and pulse emission mode in each shot helps optimize the treatment process according to each specific skin condition
      • Effectively treats issues such as scars, wrinkles and aging skin conditions, while helping to improve skin texture and elasticity

          Skincare before and after scar treatment with DEKA DUOGlide laser

          Before treatment

          • Avoid excessive sun exposure. Use broad-spectrum sunscreen daily for 4 weeks before treatment.
          • In case of a history of herpes (such as oral or genital herpes) or shingles in the treatment area, the Doctor may prescribe antiviral medication such as valacyclovir or acyclovir 2 days before treatment and continue for 3 days after treatment.

          After treatment

          After scar treatment with DEKA DUOGlide laser, it usually takes about 1 – 2 weeks for the skin to fully recover. At home, follow these skincare steps to achieve the best results:

          Within the first 24 hours

          • Avoid direct contact with tap water on the skin, only use physiological saline to wipe the face, helping to limit the risk of infection.
          • Apply moisturizing and recovery cream or essence 2 – 3 times/day.

          Day 2 to day 5

          • Keep the face clean, avoid activities that cause excessive sweating, avoid going to polluted, dusty environments without any protective measures.
          • Do not touch your face to avoid infection and negative impacts on the healing process.
          • Wash your face with physiological saline using gentle movements. A mild cleanser can be used. Note not to use scrub cleansers or those containing strong active ingredients like AHA, BHA.
          • Apply moisturizing and recovery essence.
          • During this stage, a scab will gradually form on the skin and peel off naturally. Do not pick or remove the scabs yourself. Protect strictly from the sun with physical shielding measures such as wide-brimmed hats; if possible, use additional sunscreen with SPF over 30 and PA over +++ to protect the skin to the maximum.

          Day 7

          • If there is still thick scabbing, itching, burning, stinging, swelling, fluid leakage, or many inflammatory acne breakouts, it is necessary to meet a Dermatologist for examination and treatment.

          Within 14 days after treatment
