LOOKING INTO SKIN FOR BETTER RESULTS OCT Image-Guided Laser Treatments

Better Information – Better Outcomes OCT elevates patient care through high resolution imaging of skin sub-structures and vascular networks Enhanced Treatment Capabilities • ssessment of unclear micro-anatomy and pathology A • More confidence with assertive treatment protocols • Real-time, intraoperative diagnosis for new decision making OCT will be the greatest addition to the laser clinician’s armamentarium against scars since the fractional ablative laser. • More control to lower the laser therapy learning curve or Jill Waibel, MD | Miami, FL Elevated Patient Interaction • Effective...

See Tissue to Treat Better and Safer Already indispensable in Ophthalmology, OCT provides added control and confidence For years already, OCT has been used to assess ophthalmic pathology and guide advanced therapy. Its high sensitivity and specificity is also applied in skin cancer evaluation and to monitor treatment progress. Through new user-friendly features, VivoSight OCT can now be employed in an aesthetic setting and, more specifically, in cases where extracting additional information is crucial for an enhanced outcome: Skin Structure and Morphology • Fibrotic skin disorders (scars,...

Precision Scanning for Precision Treatment For enhanced personalized treatments, VivoSight uncovers strong individual skin and pathology variations Skin varies tremendously from patient to patient and site to site, even on the same patient. Added pathology exacerbates this situation. For specific cases, typically only routine laser parameters are often selected, whereas a more effective treatment may be possible. VivoSight enables new capabilities for patient assessment and information gathering, in order to intervene more effectively. Do you know where you are going without a map? For...

More Value For Your Laser with OCT Deep lower eyelid resurfacing Periorbital OCT-mapping identifies depth of orbicularis oculi muscle. Ablative ProFractional Er:YAG laser resurfacing can be adjusted to depth of muscle or per physician preference. OCT imaging of orbicularis oculi muscle (arrow) enables precise measurement of depth. (Upper & lower eyelids shown respectively.) No over- or under treatment of scars, stretch marks etc. VivoSight-OCT determines the extent of fibrotic and vascular anomalies and as a function of location. Fractional Er:YAG laser parameters are set to match the depth...

More Value (continued) Clearing stubborn, residual vascular lesions Comprehensive vascular mapping as a factor in alternative treatment approaches. OCT characterized vascular lesions reveal different vascular patterns than originally thought. New information on size, depth and density lead to improved treatment outcomes. Vascular lesions can be resistant to laser treatments or require many repeats to clear. OCT images reveals vessel morphology that is highly variable from patient to patient in terms of vessel diameters and depths. OCT can be used to precisely measure vessels, enabling...
