Since introducing Advatex, it has become extremely popular for treating redness and rosacea.

As previously noted, for wavelengths in the red spectrum, V-Beam and IPL operate around 585nm.What is effective at 1319nm?I would like to write about whether there is one.

I am Dr. Aya Hayama, a board-certified dermatologist.

Many people struggle with persistent redness (post-inflammatory erythema) that remains after rosacea, flushed cheeks, or acne inflammation subsides. This redness isn't just due to dilated blood vessels, but also...The effects of sebaceous glands and inflammation are intricately intertwined.There are times when such things happen.For chronic redness, a treatment gaining attention in recent years is "ADVATx."is.

Advatex is a new type of laser that combines irradiation at two wavelengths—585nm and 1319nm—to treat the causes of redness from multiple angles. It is particularly effective for...The 1319nm wavelength is characterized by its ability to target inflammation and sebaceous glands in the dermis—areas that were difficult to reach with previous V-beam or IPL treatments.is.

Why the 1319nm wavelength is effective

The 1319nm wavelength penetrates deep into the skin.It is easily absorbed by moisture, delivering heat deep into the skin without damaging the surface.。This thermal energy acts upon the sebaceous glands.by doing so,Suppress excessive sebum secretion and chronic inflammationcan do.As sebaceous gland activity subsides, the inflammatory environment causing redness also becomes easier to improve, ultimately leading to a reduction in overall skin redness.

Conventional V-beam and similar technologies primarily focused on "vascular treatment," which directly targets blood vessels to reduce redness, butThe 1319nm wavelength is also involved in "anti-inflammatory treatments."Therefore, it is not only effective for simple vasodilation but also highly effective for redness involving sebaceous glands and inflammation, such as rosacea and post-acne redness.

Thus, the 1319nm wavelength does not simply cauterize vasodilation,Possesses a "fundamental therapeutic" action that gently regulates the inflammatory background itselfIt has been reported.

Effect on Rosacea and Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation

Rosacea and post-inflammatory erythema often stem from excessive sebaceous gland activity or chronic inflammation, making them difficult to improve with conventional treatments. Advatex's 1319nm wavelength targets this “deep-seated inflammation” to regulate the skin environment, gradually calming redness while preventing recurrence. Even skin prone to repeated inflammation can maintain a stable condition more easily with continued treatment.

Estimated time until noticeable results and number of treatment sessions

Advatex may reduce redness and brighten skin tone even after just one session for some individuals; however, since inflammatory and vascular reactions vary significantly from person to person,Continuous treatment approximately 3 to 5 times every 2 to 4 weeksis recommended.Repeated use helps calm inflammation and stabilize sebum gland control.It helps create a skin environment less prone to recurrence. For cases of rosacea or chronic facial redness, maintenance treatments after one course, while monitoring progress, can lead to more lasting results.

The effects can be felt relatively quickly.1st to 2nd timeYou often begin to notice a gradual reduction in redness,Third time and beyondEven skin tone throughoutMore people experience a state where flare-ups are less likely to recur. After treatment, a mild flushing sensation may occur, but it usually subsides within a few hours.

Differences from V-Beam and IPL

V-Beam is a 595nm pigment laser that is selectively absorbed by oxidized hemoglobin, making it highly effective for treating telangiectasia and vascular rosacea. However, increasing the output powerRisk of developing purpura (purplish-red pinpoint hemorrhages)and tends to result in longer downtime. In contrast, Advatex gently targets blood vessels at 585nm whileThe key difference is that at 1319nm, it can target inflammation and sebaceous glands, calming redness without causing bruising.

On the other hand, IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) therapy, which emits light containing multiple wavelengths, is suitable for complex skin concerns such as redness, dark spots, dullness, and enlarged pores. While it reacts gently with blood vessels and is effective for mild redness like post-inflammatory erythema, it tends to have limited reach to sebaceous glands and deep inflammation. Therefore,For vascular redness, V-Beam; for inflammatory redness, Advatex; for mild redness, IPL.The key is to use them appropriately.

Minimal downtime and improved skin texture

The 1319nm wavelength causes minimal damage to the epidermis, making it less likely to cause post-treatment redness or purpura (bleeding spots). Makeup can often be applied immediately after treatment, offering the advantage of minimal disruption to daily life. Furthermore, by delivering gentle thermal stimulation to the dermis,Collagen production is stimulated, promoting skin benefits such as pore tightening and improved skin firmness.Yes, I can.

Advatex's 1319nm wavelength differs from conventional lasers that target blood vessels themselves, as it specifically acts on the sebaceous glands and inflammation underlying redness. This new treatment offers promising results for persistent redness unresolved by V-beam or IPL, as well as chronic facial redness conditions like rosacea and post-inflammatory erythema.

If you're troubled by recurring redness or persistent post-acne redness that won't fade, we highly recommend trying Advatex, featuring a 1319nm wavelength.
