Why Choose Dr. Avaliani for 1540 Fractional Laser?

The 1540 Fractional Laser is one of the most effective non-ablative technologies for treating acne scars, surgical scars, stretch marks, fine lines, and uneven skin texture — without damaging the skin’s surface. Unlike ablative lasers that remove the outer skin layer, the 1540nm erbium glass wavelength penetrates deep into the dermis to stimulate collagen remodeling from within, delivering visible improvement with minimal downtime.

Non-Ablative Advantage

The 1540nm erbium glass fractional laser targets deep dermal collagen without breaking the skin surface — meaning faster healing, less risk, and no open wounds compared to ablative lasers

Personalized Approach

Customized laser protocols based on your specific concern — whether acne scars, stretch marks, wrinkles, or overall texture refinement

What Is the 1540 Fractional Laser?

The 1540 Fractional Laser is a non-ablative erbium glass fractional laser that operates at 1540nm wavelength. Unlike ablative lasers such as CO2 that vaporize the outer skin layer, the 1540 delivers controlled columns of laser energy deep into the dermis without creating open wounds on the surface. This triggers a powerful collagen remodeling response that smooths scars, wrinkles, and textural irregularities over a series of treatments.

At Dr. Avaliani’s practice, every 1540 Fractional Laser session is performed with meticulous precision. The laser handpiece delivers thousands of microscopic columns of energy into the dermis, creating controlled thermal zones that stimulate new collagen and elastin production while leaving the surrounding tissue intact for rapid healing.

How Non-Ablative Fractional Technology Works

The 1540 Fractional Laser follows a precise, well-established treatment protocol:

Dr. Avaliani evaluates your skin concerns — scars, wrinkles, texture — and calibrates the laser energy, density, and pulse settings for your specific needs

Topical numbing cream is applied 30 minutes before treatment to maximize your comfort during the session

The 1540nm laser delivers fractional columns of energy deep into the dermis, creating microscopic thermal zones that trigger collagen remodeling

Your body’s natural healing response produces new collagen and elastin over the following weeks, gradually improving texture and smoothing scars

Over 3–5 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart, cumulative collagen remodeling delivers progressive improvement in scars, wrinkles, and skin quality

Skin Concerns We Treat

Acne Scars

Rolling, boxcar, and ice-pick acne scars that leave the skin with an uneven, pitted texture. The 1540 Fractional Laser stimulates deep collagen remodeling to gradually fill in depressed scars and smooth the skin surface over a series of treatments.

Surgical Scars

Raised, depressed, or discolored scars from surgery, injury, or other trauma. The 1540 non-ablative fractional energy breaks down excess scar tissue and stimulates new collagen to soften, flatten, and blend surgical scars with surrounding skin.

Stretch Marks

Red, white, or silvery stretch marks on the abdomen, thighs, hips, or arms caused by rapid growth, pregnancy, or weight changes. The 1540 laser stimulates collagen within the stretch mark to improve texture, color, and overall appearance.

Fine Lines & Wrinkles

Fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes, mouth, forehead, and cheeks caused by aging, sun damage, and collagen loss. The 1540 fractional laser rebuilds deep dermal collagen to plump and smooth wrinkled skin from within.

Skin Texture & Roughness

Rough, bumpy, or uneven skin texture caused by sun damage, aging, enlarged pores, or prior skin conditions. The 1540 laser resurfaces the skin from within, creating a smoother, more refined surface without ablating the outer layer.

Enlarged Pores

Visibly enlarged pores on the cheeks, nose, and forehead that give the skin a coarse appearance. The 1540 fractional laser tightens collagen around pore walls, gradually reducing pore diameter for a smoother, more refined complexion.

Our 1540 Laser Treatment Options

Dr. Avaliani offers the 1540 Fractional Laser as part of a comprehensive laser platform. Here’s what makes her approach exceptional:

1540 Non-Ablative Fractional
The cornerstone of this treatment — the 1540nm erbium glass fractional laser delivers controlled energy deep into the dermis without breaking the skin surface. Treats acne scars, surgical scars, stretch marks, wrinkles, and skin texture with minimal downtime. Part of the Cynosure Icon platform.
Complementary: UltraClear®
For patients who need more aggressive resurfacing, UltraClear is an ablative cold laser option that can complement or follow 1540 treatments. Dr. Avaliani may recommend UltraClear for deeper scars or more advanced skin laxity where ablative energy provides additional benefit.
Combination Laser Protocol
Dr. Avaliani often designs multi-laser protocols that combine the 1540 with complementary technologies for enhanced results. Pairing non-ablative and ablative wavelengths, or adding PicoSure Focus for pigmentation, addresses multiple skin concerns in a single customized treatment plan.

Does It Hurt?

Your Comfort Options (We Tailor This to You)

Topical numbing cream is applied 30 minutes before your session to ensure maximum comfort. During treatment, most patients describe a warming or tingling sensation as the laser energy is delivered. The 1540 handpiece has built-in contact cooling to protect the skin surface and further minimize discomfort. The procedure is well tolerated by most patients.

After treatment, you can expect 1–3 days of mild redness similar to a sunburn. Minimal peeling may occur as the skin renews itself. There are no open wounds, no bandages, and no extended recovery. Most patients return to their normal routine the next day. Pro-Nox (nitrous oxide) is available for patients who prefer additional relaxation during treatment.

Feel Calm. Stay in Control. Look Amazing.

Reduced Anxiety

Settle into a calm, relaxed state before and during your treatment — no stress, no tension.

Less Discomfort

Enhanced comfort for your treatment, so you can focus on your results.

No Downtime

PRO-NOX

Nitrous Oxide

Available On Request

For patients who prefer an extra layer of relaxation, Pro‑Nox™ provides a gentle, calming effect that wears off instantly. Most patients find their treatments very manageable — but it’s always here if you want it.
