Improve Skin Texture, Scars, and Signs of Aging With AVAVA® Laser

Have you noticed that your skin doesn’t look or feel quite as smooth as it once did? Maybe acne scars are still visible, fine lines have become more noticeable, or the skin on your neck, chest, hands, or arms looks thinner and more crepey.

These changes are a natural part of aging and can also be influenced by sun exposure, acne, and other factors that affect your skin over time.

Fortunately, improving the appearance and quality of your skin doesn’t necessarily require surgery or a long recovery.

Glenn Kolansky, MD, FAAD, and our team at Advanced Dermatology Surgery & Laser Center may recommend AVAVA®, an advanced non-ablative fractional laser designed to improve skin texture, acne scarring, and visible signs of aging with precision and minimal downtime.

Unlike traditional fractional lasers that deliver energy from the surface downward in straight columns, AVAVA uses proprietary Focal Point Technology™ to deliver focused laser energy beneath the skin’s surface.

Read on to learn how AVAVA works, what it can treat, and why it may be an exciting option for skin rejuvenation on both the face and body.

What is AVAVA®?

AVAVA is an advanced non-ablative fractional laser designed to improve the appearance and quality of the skin while keeping the surface of the skin largely intact.

Its proprietary Focal Point Technology™ allows your provider to precisely control where laser energy is delivered beneath the skin’s surface. This focused approach is designed to stimulate skin remodeling while limiting unnecessary energy exposure to surrounding tissue.

AVAVA also incorporates ComfortCool™, an integrated cooling technology designed to protect the skin’s surface and make treatment more comfortable.

Because the treatment can be customized based on your skin, concerns, and goals, AVAVA can be used to address a variety of cosmetic concerns and treatment areas.

How does AVAVA work?

Traditional fractional lasers typically deliver energy in straight columns from the surface of the skin downward.

AVAVA works differently.

Its Focal Point Technology™ creates focused treatment zones beneath the skin’s surface that are shaped like a “V,” an approach sometimes referred to as the “Martini Effect.”

This allows Dr. Kolansky to target specific depths beneath the skin while minimizing unnecessary energy exposure at the surface.

The goal is to stimulate the skin’s natural remodeling process, which can gradually improve its appearance and texture over time.

What can AVAVA® treat?

AVAVA can be customized to address several common skin concerns, including:

• Acne scars: Target the appearance and texture of acne scarring with fractional laser treatment.
• Fine lines and crepey-looking skin: Improve the appearance of fine lines and skin that looks thinner or less firm.
• Uneven skin texture: Promote smoother, more refined-looking skin.
• Visible signs of aging: Refresh areas affected by the natural aging process.
• Overall skin quality: Improve the appearance of skin that looks dull, uneven, or less youthful.

Because treatment settings can be customized, Dr. Kolansky can develop an approach based on your specific skin concerns and desired outcome.

Can AVAVA® be used beyond the face?

Absolutely.

One of the exciting aspects of AVAVA is that it can be used to rejuvenate more than just facial skin.

Depending on your individual needs, treatment may include areas such as:

• Face
• Neck
• Décolletage
• Hands
• Arms
• Abdomen
• Buttocks
• Legs
• Knees
• Elbows

This makes AVAVA an option for people who want to address signs of aging or changes in skin texture on areas that are often overlooked.

Dr. Kolansky will determine which areas are appropriate for treatment and select the settings based on your skin type, concerns, and goals.

What can you expect from an AVAVA® treatment?

AVAVA is a non-ablative laser, meaning the surface of the skin remains largely intact during treatment.

Most patients can return to their normal daily activities relatively quickly. You may experience temporary redness, warmth, or swelling after treatment, but these effects can vary depending on the treatment area and the intensity of your treatment.

Because AVAVA works by encouraging the skin’s natural remodeling process, results develop progressively rather than appearing all at once.

During your consultation, Dr. Kolansky will discuss what you can expect and recommend a treatment plan based on your individual goals.

Is AVAVA® safe for different skin tones?

Skin rejuvenation isn’t one-size-fits-all, particularly when it comes to laser treatments.

AVAVA was designed to give providers precise control over how and where laser energy is delivered. By focusing energy beneath the skin’s surface while minimizing unnecessary exposure to the epidermis, AVAVA is designed with a broad range of skin types and tones in mind.

That said, every patient’s skin is different. A personalized consultation is important to determine whether AVAVA is appropriate for you and which treatment settings are best suited to your skin.

Why choose a customized laser treatment?

Two people can have the same cosmetic concern but need very different treatments.

Your skin type, the area being treated, the severity of your concerns, and the results you want can all influence how your treatment is planned.

That’s why Dr. Kolansky evaluates your skin and goals before recommending an approach. The treatment can then be tailored to the appropriate areas and settings rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all protocol.

Refresh your skin without surgery

You don’t have to limit skin rejuvenation to your face—or accept significant downtime to improve your skin.

Whether you’re looking to reduce the appearance of acne scars, smooth uneven texture, refresh aging skin, or rejuvenate areas such as the neck, chest, hands, or arms, AVAVA may be an option worth exploring.

Every treatment begins with a personalized consultation so Dr. Kolansky can determine whether AVAVA is right for your skin and your goals.
