SkynFx®: The Duality of Danish Lasers
Denmark is often referred to as the Slow-Aging Capital of the World, a place where balance, longevity, and innovation intersect. That same philosophy is built into SkynFx®, a treatment protocol that combines ADVATx® and ADVAFx® to offer a complete solution for dermal health.
ADVATx® is recognized for its broad range of FDA-cleared indications and ability to treat multiple conditions without social downtime. ADVAFx® provides hybrid CO2 resurfacing, adaptable from lighter treatments to more intensive correction. Together, they reflect the duality of Danish design: technology that balances accessibility with depth.
To see how SkynFx® works in practice, here are answers to some of the most common questions.
Q: Can ADVATx® treat acne?
A: Yes. ADVATx® uses 589nm and 1319nm wavelengths to reduce the porphyrin load in the skin and deliver a thermal impact to the sebaceous glands to help regulate oil production. This non-ablative treatment option helps manage active acne and reduce redness effectively with NO social downtime.
Q: How does ADVATx® address melasma?
A: ADVATx® treats melasma with its 589nm wavelength targeting the inflammatory and vascular components of this condition. The 1319nm wavelength adds support for overall skin quality, and treatments carry a lower risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation across virtually all skin types (I–V).
For Stephanie Whitmer, MSN, FNP-C, the key takeaway is clear: “[ADVATx®] targets the inflammation and the vascular components of melasma while reducing excess pigment without damaging surrounding tissue. There’s truly not going to be any downtime for your patients, and it’s safe to even treat [up to] Fitzpatrick [skin type] V.”
Q: Can ADVATx® help with rosacea?
A: Yes. By targeting abnormal blood vessels and reducing redness, ADVATx® helps restore a more even complexion. The treatment also improves skin texture while minimizing side effects, making it a reliable option for patients with sensitive skin and rosacea.
Q: What about vascular concerns?
A: With patented PulSync technology, ADVATx® safely treats a broad range of vascular abnormalities with no social downtime. The 589nm wavelength, preferentially absorbed by oxyhemoglobin, effectively targets vascular concerns without causing bruising or purpura.
Q: Can ADVAFx® be used for skin resurfacing?
A: Yes. ADVAFx® offers hybrid CO2 resurfacing that can be tailored from lighter treatments to deeper correction. It’s designed to address a range of skin concerns safely across all skin types.
Q: Can ADVAFx® address wrinkles and fine lines?
A: ADVAFx® helps reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, improving texture for a more refreshed look. Treatments can be adjusted in depth, giving practices flexibility to meet different patient needs.
Q: What about deeper facial furrows?
A: ADVAFx® offers an option for addressing more etched-in lines, helping to soften their appearance and support smoother-looking skin over time.
Q: Can downtime be customized?
A: Yes! ADVAFx® can be adjusted to fit different needs, from lighter sessions with minimal downtime to more intensive treatments for patients seeking stronger correction.
As Steven Shapiro, MD, explains: “It’s very quick and efficient. Based on your settings, you can do some treatments in under 10 minutes. You can actually control how much downtime the patient has, so it’s a huge benefit for us.”
Q: So how do ADVATx® and ADVAFx® work together?
A: SkynFx® brings the two technologies together in a single protocol. Treatments can be performed in the same session or staged as a series, allowing practices to combine the versatility of ADVATx® with the depth of ADVAFx®. The result is a balanced approach that supports both immediate improvements and long-term dermal health.
Why SkynFx® Matters
SkynFx® goes beyond treating individual concerns. It’s a protocol built around balance, flexibility, and long-term value. With no consumables and strong potential for repeat sessions, it supports both immediate results and sustained ROI. By uniting two complementary technologies into one streamlined approach, SkynFx® equips practices to meet patient needs today while driving growth for the future.
