What is AFT-SSR?
One of the most recent developments in light treatment is Advanced Fluorescent Technology. In contrast to lasers, AFT treats fine wrinkles, liver spots, skin laxity, rosacea, unifies skin tone, and rejuvenates the skin by delivering energy to the skin through a wide variety of light wavelengths. One kind of intense pulsed light (IPL) therapy is called AFT.
AFT-SSR, or Advanced Fluorescent Technology - Selective Spectrum Rejuvenation, is a non-invasive skin rejuvenation procedure that uses the power of light to treat various skin concerns.
How does it work?
The wavelengths are intended to encourage the skin's own natural production of collagen and elastin, giving it a more youthful, refreshed appearance. These flaws may be gently heated and removed with relatively low-energy, short-pulse broadband light, revealing younger-looking skin in their stead.
Every four weeks, four to six sessions are advised for best outcomes.
It works by targeting specific skin components like melanin and haemoglobin, resulting in numerous benefits:
- Pigmentation Correction: AFT-SSR effectively treats issues like sunspots and age spots by breaking down excess melanin, giving you a more even and youthful skin tone.
- Vascular Lesion Removal: It addresses problems like broken capillaries and facial redness by targeting haemoglobin, leading to the coagulation and fading of unwanted blood vessels, revealing a clearer complexion.

Skin Rejuvenation:
AFT-SSR's ability to stimulate collagen production is a key factor in its success.
Collagen is crucial for skin elasticity and youthfulness. By promoting collagen
remodelling, the treatment enhances skin texture, firmness, and minimises fine lines
and wrinkles.
Thus, AFT-SSR offers comprehensive skin care by addressing pigment issues, vascular lesions, and signs of ageing in one non-invasive treatment. Alma Lasers' renowned safety ensures its suitability for various skin types. Patients experience immediate skin improvements and ongoing enhancements as collagen production increases. The procedure's minimal discomfort, aided by cooling systems, ensures a comfortable experience, allowing a swift return to daily routines post-treatment.
