When I’m seeing patients, I really often hear them ask, “I’m worried about redness, I get acne, and my pores are noticeable… So, which one should I treat first?”

It's rare to have just one skin concern; more often than not, several are intertwined.

The “Advatex Laser” is designed to address these complex concerns.

Today, a doctor from BIANCA CLINIC will provide a comprehensive explanation of how the Advatex Laser works, its effects, and the precautions you should be aware of.

What kind of treatment is the Advatex Laser?

Advatex Laser is a multifunctional laser treatment that uses two wavelengths—589 nm and 1319 nm—either individually or in combination.

Equipped with two wavelengths: 589 nm and 1319 nm

The Advatex Laser is a medical laser device equipped with wavelengths of 589 nm and 1319 nm. Depending on the skin concern and treatment area, the device can use either wavelength individually or a combination of both.

It has a tendency to react strongly to the color red, so it works well with hemoglobin in the blood and substances associated with acne.

Therefore, this wavelength is often used to treat conditions such as facial redness, visible capillaries, inflamed acne, and redness left behind by acne scars.

A 1319-nm laser operates at a wavelength that delivers heat slightly deeper than a 589-nm laser. It is used to deliver thermal stimulation to the dermis, with the aim of promoting collagen production and regulating sebum secretion.

I believe that Advatex’s greatest strength is its ability to cover both of these wavelengths with a single unit.

A light-emitting method designed to minimize skin irritation

Advatex uses a irradiation method known as "soft pulsing." Rather than delivering a single, intense burst of energy, it works by dividing the energy into fine pulses and delivering them continuously.

Thanks to this method, the treatment is designed to minimize pain and heat during the procedure, as well as reduce the strain on the skin afterward.

That said, everyone’s experience is truly different—while some say, “It felt warmer than I expected” or “It had a slight tingling sensation,” others say, “I didn’t really notice it.”

This varies depending on the output and the treatment area.

Even when it comes to the same “redness,” the way it appears differs from person to person.

This is something I notice every time I see a patient: even when patients come in with the same complaint—"redness"—the underlying causes can vary quite a bit.

Is it the blood vessels themselves dilating, inflammation from acne, or hyperpigmentation? If you’re concerned about specific, pinpoint-sized fine blood vessels, we may recommend targeted spot treatment.

At Bianca Clinic, our doctors assess your skin condition and determine the optimal wavelength and treatment area based on your concerns and treatment history. For detailed information about the Advatex Laser treatment, please visit our treatment page.

What kind of results can I expect from the Advatex Laser?

With the AdvaTex Laser, you can expect improvements in acne, redness, enlarged pores, excess oil, and loss of firmness and radiance.

To summarize the expected effects, the general picture is as follows.

• Treating Inflamed Acne and Redness from Acne Scars
• Approaches to Redness and Telangiectasia
• Care for Excess Sebum and Visible Pores
• Improved skin firmness, radiance, and texture
• Treating Fine Lines
• Approaches to Skin Tone Issues, Such as Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation

Treats acne and redness from acne scars

The 589-nanometer wavelength is used to treat inflammatory acne and the redness left behind by acne scars. This wavelength is expected to act on porphyrins—compounds associated with acne—and to help reduce inflammation.

Since the 1319 nm wavelength helps regulate sebum production, it’s sometimes used not only by those who want to “treat existing acne” but also by those who want to “develop skin that’s less prone to acne in the first place.”

However, since acne is often caused by a combination of factors—such as lifestyle habits and hormonal balance—laser treatment alone won’t solve everything. I hope you’ll view it simply as one of several treatment options.

For redness and visible capillaries

Because 589 nm light is easily absorbed by hemoglobin, it is well-suited for treating dilated capillaries and redness caused by blood vessels.

Conditions such as facial flushing, telangiectasia, and senile hemangiomas may be treated.

However, blood vessels are not always the sole cause of redness; in some cases, inflammation or other skin conditions may also be involved.

Instead of assuming, “This is probably it,” be sure to see a doctor for a thorough examination to determine the exact cause.

For enlarged pores and loss of firmness and radiance

Thermal stimulation of the dermis using 1319 nm light helps promote collagen production. This wavelength is used to improve skin firmness, radiance, texture, fine lines, and the appearance of pores.

The results and the number of sessions required vary greatly depending on your skin condition and your goals.

Even if you have multiple concerns, we don’t treat them all at once with the same output and wavelength; instead, during your consultation, we’ll work with you to decide “what to prioritize first.”

What are the pros and cons of the Advatex Laser?

While the Advatex Laser can treat a variety of skin concerns, it carries risks such as redness, swelling, and burns.

Benefits of the Advatex Laser

• • • You can choose between two wavelengths depending on your skin concerns.
    • In some cases, it is possible to treat both redness and skin texture concerns at the same time.
    • It can also be used for spot irradiation of small areas
    • This treatment method is designed to minimize pain and downtime.

The advantage of the Advatex Laser is that a single unit can deliver both the 589 nm wavelength, which is effective for vascular-related redness, and the 1319 nm wavelength, which targets the dermis and sebum.

We can address various skin concerns—such as redness, acne, excess oil, enlarged pores, and loss of firmness—by adjusting the treatment settings accordingly.

In addition to full-face treatments and targeted treatments for specific areas such as the nose and cheeks, we may also recommend spot treatments for specific concerns, such as telangiectasia or hemangiomas.

One point I often mention to my patients is that the soft-pulsing method allows us to administer the treatment while minimizing post-treatment redness and swelling.

Disadvantages and Precautions of Advatex Laser

• • • Redness or swelling may occur after treatment.
    • You may experience a sensation of heat or a tingling sensation.
    • Temporary skin irritation or a flare-up of acne may occur.
    • You may not achieve the desired results after just one treatment.

Although the Advatex Laser treatment is designed to be gentle on the skin, it is not entirely free of downtime or side effects. Redness and swelling may occur for a few hours to a few days after the treatment.

While its use may be considered for melasma and hyperpigmentation, depending on the condition of the skin and the treatment parameters, there is still a possibility—albeit small—that the treatment could actually aggravate the symptoms.

If you're wondering, "Is it safe for me to get this treatment?" or "How long will it take for me to return to normal after the treatment?", please feel free to ask during your consultation. We'll answer your questions right then and there.

If you're interested in Advatex Laser, please consult a doctor.

When considering Advatex Laser treatment, it is important to diagnose the cause of redness or acne and select the appropriate wavelength and treatment method.

AdvaTex Laser is a treatment that uses two different wavelengths to address acne, redness, enlarged pores, and loss of firmness. While it can treat multiple skin concerns simultaneously, the appropriate wavelengths and application methods vary depending on the condition of your skin.

At BIANCA CLINIC, our doctors will review your skin condition and treatment history before determining the appropriate treatment plan. If you are considering the Advatex Laser, please discuss it with us during your consultation.
