4.5 Use the laser performance
gel and laser aftercare
complex
4.5.1 Laser performance gel
The laser performance gel provides optimal skin
contact between the application tip and your
skin and ensures that the laser skin rejuvenation
device glides smoothly over the skin. The laser
performance gel was specially developed by the
makers of Fraxel
®
laser technology for use with
RéAura. Always use the gel when treating your
skin with the Philips RéAura device. Without the
gel, the skin may be treated unevenly and the
treatment may be more uncomfortable.
4.5.2 Laser aftercare complex
The laser aftercare complex gives the skin the
hydration it needs during the cell renewal process.
It contains calming chamomile, as well as Saint
John’s wort and edelweiss extract known for
their anti-inflammatory properties. Always use
the laser aftercare complex immediately after
treating your skin with the RéAura device. Reapply
laser aftercare complex within one hour after
treatment and on the days in between laser
treatments to hydrate as needed.
4.4 Apply one laser dose per
zone per treatment
•
Philips RéAura works on the principle of
delivering exactly the right amount of laser
energy (called a dose) to a certain zone
of your body. Philips has defined specific
treatment areas for this device: the face, neck,
chest, hands and forearms. Each area is divided
into zones.
•
To ensure optimal benefit from each session,
each treatment zone must be treated with a
full dose of laser. Philips RéAura indicates that
a full dose has been applied by producing a
short ‘zone-completed’ sound. Always treat
a zone until you hear this sound before you
move the device to the next zone. See section
‘how to apply one laser dose per treatment
zone’ in chapter ‘Using Philips RéAura’ for
more information on the laser dosage system.
•
It is important that you treat the entire zone
evenly and that you do not focus on just the
problem areas, such as fine lines around the
eyes and mouth or sun spots.
