Patient information about Frax 1940 - Glow - Version 1.0

Frax-1940 is an effective treatment that reduces fine lines and enlarged pores and evens out the skin tone. In addition, the skin gains renewed radiance and a fresher appearance. With Frax-1940, controlled damage is created in a predetermined percentage of the skin's surface, which is then rebuilt and strengthened.

If uneven skin tone is observed at the consultation, the customer must undergo an evaluation by a dermatologist before the treatment course can begin, so that any undesirable skin changes are identified before a possible treatment course.

To achieve the best results, it is essential for the skin to be as pale as possible. Therefore, self-tanning products must not be used for 2 weeks before the treatment, and the treatment area must not be exposed to UV rays (sunlight and tanning beds) for at least 4 weeks before the treatment. For this reason, it can be challenging to treat individuals with darker skin tones. During your consultation, the nurse will determine if we can offer you the treatment.

For most individuals, this treatment can be quite uncomfortable. Time is allocated during the treatment for the patient to have a local anaesthetic cream applied, which can take effect for 30 minutes.

The treatment area should be intact, without infections, wounds, or irritation, and it is recommended that the skin be well-maintained before starting the treatment. Failure to adhere to the above precautions may result in treatment cancellation or postponement. In cases where there is an increased risk of side effects, we reserve the right to cancel the treatment.

According to cosmetic treatment regulations, the treated area must be photographed before the treatment can begin.

Before starting the treatment, the skin is cleansed and disinfected to minimize the risk of infections. Frax-1940 uses laser light to create small heated vertical channels in the skin. Both the density and depth of the treatment can be tailored to each customer's needs. Typically, the treatment is applied uniformly across the entire treatment area.

The skin will be irritated after the treatment, and it will appear red, warm, stinging, and slightly swollen. Cooling of the skin is necessary, so after the treatment, you will be provided with ice packs to cool the treatment area, along with an extra pack that you can use and reuse at home by refreezing it when it thaws.

The burning sensation in the skin typically subsides within 4-8 hours, after which the skin may feel tender, warm, and sensitive.

After the treatment, it is recommended to apply IS Clinical Sheald to your skin, a cream for healing irritated and damaged skin, 4 hours after the treatment has been carried out. It is crucial that the treated skin area is not exposed to the sun for 4 weeks after the treatment, and it is recommended to use sunscreen with a minimum SPF of 50. We recommend SPF 50 from IS Clinical, which can be purchased at the clinic.

With Frax-1940 treatment, there is an increased risk of skin infection. Due to this risk, you must be extremely cautious about touching your skin for 24 hours after the treatment. Ensure that your hands are freshly washed before touching the treated area.

It is discouraged to cleanse your skin or apply anything other than the recommended products during the first 24 hours after treatment or until there are open sores on the skin. In the days following the treatment, it is important to moisturize the skin frequently with a nourishing cream. The skin should be kept moist and supple.

After 2-3 days, the redness and swelling of the face will subside, and the skin may feel rough with scab formation and mild peeling. The skin can become very dry and coarse, and recommended moisturization aids in facilitating healing.

After 7 days, the skin will feel normal again. During the healing phase, it is important to use a nourishing, unscented moisturizing cream. You have the option to purchase IS Clinical Sheald from the clinic, or you can consider another similar unscented cream.

This will help the skin heal faster and better, and we recommend using the cream for at least one week after the treatment.

It is recommended to have 3 treatments with 4-6 weeks between sessions if you desire skin renewal, overall skin improvement, or tissue firming.

Results are typically visible around 3-6 months after the treatment, and they will gradually become more apparent. Additional follow-up treatments 1-2 times a year can be effective.

With Frax-1940 treatment, there is a slight risk of infection. Infection is characterized by redness, tenderness, and swelling of the skin, as well as possible fever a few days after the treatment. If an infection occurs, it will be experienced as a worsening or regression in the healing process. The risk of infection is highest in the first few days after treatment and can be easily treated with antibiotics.

If you are prone to recurrent herpes outbreaks on the face, it is recommended to start preventive treatment the day before the procedure. Temporary acne or acne-like skin may be activated after the treatment in areas where you already have a tendency for acne.

In rare cases, burns may occur, resulting in small fluid-filled blisters, sores, light or dark skin discoloration, and scar tissue formation. These burns can occur for various reasons but are typically associated with sun exposure. In most cases, burns are mild and heal without scarring. If burns or unexpected reactions occur, it is advisable to immediately contact the clinic and speak with a doctor or nurse.

We work with the skin, and the result will therefore be individual, as every patient has a different starting point and lifestyle.

The following are reasons why you cannot be approved for the treatment:

• History of skin or melanoma cancer
• Pregnancy or breastfeeding
• Medication that increases the skin's sensitivity to sunlight
• Known tendency to form keloid scars
• Epilepsy that is not well controlled, or that is triggered by light.
• Certain autoimmune connective tissue diseases
