FAQ – SilkLight Laser Treatment
What is SilkLight Laser Treatment?
SilkLight Laser Treatment is the latest generation of pulse light technology representing a breakthrough in the:
- treatment and management of acne problems
- skin rejuvenation and age-defying skin care
- permanent reduction of unwanted hair
- improvement of scar, stretchmark & skin pigmentation appearance
- removal of unsightly spider and vascular veins
SIlkLight is a non-invasive laser treatment that is clinically proven, safe, fast and effective. It erases skin damage without the disruption of the skin’s surface, and addresses the effects of aging and sun damage with low risk of complications and without the downtime.
What kind of results can be seen?
After a series of treatments, you may see a significant reduction of skin pigmentation, acne, unwanted hair, redness, and lines, and see the appearance of smoother, revitalized skin. The same treatment can be used effectively on the neck, the chest, and the hands.
How many treatments are needed?
For photorejuvenation, depending on the severity of the individual problem, a series of 6 to 8 usually about 3 weeks to 1 month apart are recommended. Each session takes about 15 minutes. For acne treatment, the dermatologist shall require the patient to have a weekly session during the first 4 weeks which shall be graduated into 2x a month until it becomes once a month, depending on the progress of the treatment.
Number of sessions required for hair removal varies greatly based on hair type, thickness and other factors. On the average, it takes about 8 to 12 sessions.

How SilkLight treatments are done?
Prior to treatment, a cool gel is applied to the skin, and you may be given dark glasses or other eye wear to protect your eyes from the bright lights. A hand-held treatment unit is gently applied to the skin to administer pulses of light to your face. You may feel a slight sting like a snap of a rubber band. However, local anesthesia or pain medication is seldom required. The treatment is quick, easy and virtually painless.
Are there any possible side effects?
Side effects are very rare with light treatments. In some cases, some slight reddening or local swelling may be experienced but these typically go away within few hours. Blistering may also occur on rare occasions. The skin may also become darker or lighter following treatment but will generally return to normal within few weeks. Limiting sun exposure before and after the treatment will minimize the risk of complications.
| Unlike traditional laser and light-based technologies that achieve homogenous thermal damage at a particular depth, MOSAIC‟s patented technologies works by delivering multiple arrays of randomized microscopic laser beams to the skin. These beams produce deep, collimated Micro Necrotic Columns (MNCs) that can penetrate as far down to the reticular dermis while sparing surrounding viable tissues. The outcome produces a natural, more uniform appearance with minimal downtime and dramatic clinical results. Dr. Ana Marie Lansangan, a chief dermatologist explains, “Collagen and elastin fibers are very important in maintaining youthful skin. Collagen fibers resist stretching and provide structure Elastin fibers are the „rubberband‟ fibers responsible for the „snap back‟ quality of young skin. They give young, smooth, firm skin its resiliency – its retraction and „snap‟. The sad thing is, everyone begins to lose these fibers at age 25.”But there‟s good news. MOSAIC is equipped with randomized spray pattern which targets a “fraction” of volume of the skin. This allows stimulation of a natural healing process to initiate long-term collagen remodeling and regeneration of elastin fibers in the dermis.Eighty to 90% of the untreated tissues form a bridge to the treated areas leading to a rapid re-epithelialization within 24 hours. After 3-7 days, dead skin peels off and becomes renewed. |
| Another advantage of MOSAIC is the optimal administration of the treatment. With its Automatic Density Counter per facial region, the operator is allowed to determine the precise dosage of each treatment and therefore accurately predict the clinical outcome. Further, this gives the physicians more control as they are permitted to stop treatment anytime and check the skin‟s reaction. |
| MOSAIC is the first line care for routine skin rejuvenation, scarring, photo-aging and hyperpigmentation. It delivers dramatic results such as reduced pore size, overall improved skin tone and skin tightening as well. Soon after each session, most of the patients notice significant changes that continuously improve over the coming months. |
