What is Polaris (Laser+RF)? The Polaris WR System is intended to treat wrinkles and improve skin color evenness. How does it work? The system technology is a combination of optical (laser) energy and conducted radio frequency (RF). Both of these energies supplement each other to provide epidermal and dermal thermolysis at controlled depth. The System provides individual adjustment of RF energy and LASER energy to achieve maximum efficiency and safety for each patient. Is it safe? The system provides better safety and comfort while minimizing possible side effects, using a contact cooling mechanism in the applicator and “on-line” energy monitoring of the tissue during treatment. What are the preparations before the treatment? Listen to treatment arrangement, typical treatment results and possible adverse effects and discomfort given by your physician Follow the safety warning instructions from your physician What are the after treatment care? It is recommended that a cold pack be applied to the treated area immediately after treatment. During the first five days following the treatment, care should be taken to prevent trauma to the treated area. In addition you should avoid hot baths, massages, exercising, etc. You will be advised to use high factor sunscreen and protect the treated area from sunlight for at least one month after the treatment. Tanning after treatment may cause hyperpigmentation. Follow-up You should return 4-8 weeks after the treatment for evaluation of the treatment site. Interval between treatments should be longer than two weeks. If no results were observed and adverse effects noticed, then treatment should be stopped.
