Thulium is a non-ablative fractional fiber laser operating at 1927 nm, targeting water in the epidermis. It is a gold-standard, low-downtime option for sun spots, melasma, fine wrinkles, enlarged pores, dull tone, and superficial actinic keratoses. The upper epidermis is renewed with controlled thermal zones — safe across all Fitzpatrick types (I–VI) with a low risk of post-inflammatory pigmentation.

Preparation
Avoid sun exposure for 2 weeks pre-procedure — tanned skin is contraindicated. Stop retinol/glycolic acid products 5 days before. If you have a history of cold sores, antiviral prophylaxis is prescribed. Arrive with clean, make-up-free skin.
Follow-up Care
Mild redness and a "warm/bronzed" feel for 24 hours is normal; coffee-ground-like MEND microflaking follows in 2-3 days. Avoid direct sun for 72 hours and reapply SPF 50+ every 2 hours. No hot showers, sauna, or intense exercise for 48 hours. A series of 3-5 sessions at 4-week intervals is recommended.
The skin is cleansed and a topical anaesthetic is applied for 30-45 minutes. Protective eyewear is placed before the Thulium handpiece passes over the area in 4-8 overlapping passes. Simultaneous Zimmer external cooling maintains comfort. Post-procedure we apply a calming mask and post-laser barrier serum.
