SKIN CARE TIPS- Laser Resurfacing
Laser resurfacing can be used to rejuvenate skin, remove sun damage, wrinkles, treat pores, acne scars and skin pigmentation.The future of laser resurfacing is to combine several wavelengths of laser in the one delivery system. This is known as Hybrid or Mixed Technology laser resurfacing. Of all the systems tested, I firmly believe that Quanta has the best software of any laser company. This is because every aspect of this laser can be customized and controlled by the operator. What this means is that bespoke treatments can be delivered to each patient. Power, pulse duration, sequence of laser delivery, density, patterning, stacking and many more variables can be controlled. This is a laser built for laser specialists! YOULASER enables bespoke settings to deliver the best clinical outcomes with each treatment. Every single skin type can be treated with this laser- from fair skin Type 1 all the way to African type 6 skin. The biggest flaw of this laser is the peak power of the CO2 component. It is weak at only 30 watts. The brilliant software of Quanta Systems gets around this by increasing the pulse duration, or by pulse stacking. Great for treatment of burns, but less than ideal for treating fibrotic scars in darker skin types. The use of this laser in burn scarring was demonstrated by Rox Anderson in another video, thanking the generosity of Quanta for donating this laser for the greater good.
Unlike fractional lasers such as Fraxel, ProFractional, Portrait, Pixel, CORE, Ultrapulse, Active FX, Edge CO2 fractional and dozens of other fractional lasers, only the HALO and YOULASER deliver two wavelengths in the one treatment. The
fully ablative laser resurfacing removes all layers of skin, whist the non-ablative component treats under the skin, preserving the upper layers. HALO uses erbium, whilst YOULASER has CO2 as the ablative wavelength. IMO this laser is far superior to HALO laser. I am a big fan of Scition lasers the markers of HALO, but this laser walks all over HALO. The marketing division of HALO has done a great job of pushing this laser however the software and wavelength of CO2 in the YOULASER is a few generations ahead of HALO.
Fully ablative laser resurfacing is very different from fractional lasers. Fractional lasers only treat a ‘fraction’ of the skin’s surface - laser machines such as Fraxel, Pearl Fractional, and ProFractional are examples of fractional lasers. Fully ablative lasers remove the entire surface area of the skin. I manually control the depth of ‘ablation’ and how deep the lasers go. Fractional lasers usually require multiple treatments, usually 3-5 sessions, whilst laser resurfacing using fully ablative lasers will only require one treatment. In this video I have demonstrated that only one treatment of fractional laser is required if the parameters are dialed correctly for each individual. With the YOULASER combinations are infinite, and each part of the face will require different settings for optimal results. If this laser had more power, it would be as close to a perfect laser in the real world. I still prefer my high density Fraxel 1927 laser for treating sun damage in Brisbane as it cover more surface area. The downside is that downtime is double with Fraxel approaching 6 days, whilst the YOULASER recovery is only 3 days. As for acne scarring- one needs dedicated lasers for the treatment of severe scars, and the Ultrapulse is the Gold Standard for subdermal fibrosis and burns. Increasing the pulse duration of the YOULASER can get the power needed, but this gives prolonged gridding, not ideal.
Laser resurfacing is only one of the many techniques I practice to achieve the end goal- whether it involves skin rejuvenation, wrinkle removal, eye rejuvenation, or acne scar revision. Remember, it is the method and not the machine that delivers the best results. The balance of skin texture, tone, and volume will give the most natural results. Treatments such as skin needling, microneedling, PRP, Juvederm, Restylane fillers, Botox, and skin boosters can also augment the end results after laser resurfacing. The future looks bright with lasers like the YOULASER with advanced software and dual wavelengths. Work on more power, and Quanta can rebrand it as PERFECTLASER.

I got some laser done 5 months ago to freshen up- new generation of lasers are unbelievable. Minimal downtime. One treatment only. Dr Davin Lim, Brisbane. Australia.
Dr Davin Lim hey Dr davin , can I record my acne scars In different lights and if you could recommend a treatment that may work better for me ?
The first thing I thought was your skin looked very refreshed! That was even before you mentioned you did the treatment 👌
Cheers, Stacy
Alright, Doc, what's it gonna take for you to come to America for a month or two every year and see all these patients like myself who have come to trust you and don't want to go to anyone else? Surely your family might like to visit Disney world, Universal Studios, or Lego Land once a year! LOL!
Great information please keep these coming!
M jealous. Being a dermatologist and being able to take care of your own skin. A wish.
Wow, seeing all those expensive laser machines in one office setting was quite cool👍🏼 And you are SO lucky to be able to be your own test subject!! The Quanta System one was beautiful to watch✨
Yes, great laser... fun to play with. Davin Lim
This was so informative Dr Davin...Thank you :)
I wish you practiced in the States!
In CA, yes, in another life. I love the States but my dad settled us in Oz... dammmmm
Hi, Dr. Davin! Thank you very much for another video full of super important information for all of us who love to take care of our skin. It is a pity not to have you as a dermatologist, since I am from the Caribbean, but you inspire me with a lot of confidence and above all sincerity in everything related to your profession. That many things unknown to me. It is a great pleasure to have discovered the channel this year.
Thank you for subscribing Janira, support means a lot to me. ... and the channel. Davin Lim
Love it 😍 I hav deep acne scarring, texture issues, face discoloration n loss of volume n droopy skin so remember soon as I win lottery I’m flying out to see u so u can fix/improve the damage on my face!!!
LOL< .... happy to treat you ... Davin Lim
Hi how can i make an appointment sith you please..
Your skin is beautiful omg! I'm sure we are all envious .I know I am! Thank you for all your great informative videos! Cheers from Arizona !
LOL, lots to maintain. DL
I gave a thumb up before watching this video.
cheers dl
Loving it Dr. Handsome! I love learning so much about skin and how to maintain and improve texture etc. I'm actually telling my sister's to watch these videos because they ask about my skin. I have you to thank so... "Thank you!"
This is why we love you Dr. Lim. You educate us and give us information to take with us to our doctors. TBH, most have no clue about many of the lasers you talk about. :(
Thanks for viewing. DL
I had forgotten your name so i searched for "Australian Dermatologist" and you were the first result! Glad that worked
:) seo crap... I just do the videos. Davin Lim
I wish you were in the U.S. I have had such bad luck in the Pensacola area with laser treatments. I was pleased with the results 1 time.
I’ve always wanted to try fraxel for the dark marks on my face but I was told that because I was black the laser would leave grid like marks. The dots would leave marks. So I was told that I’d be trading dark marks for dots. No one ever said that moisture is key. Thank you again for a very informative video. I really appreciate what you do.
Fee, thank you for the view, always looking out for your 2 cents worth... thank you. Davin LIM, BRISBANE SKIN DERMATOLOGY
OMG. The skin improves so much after the treatment
Thanks for sharing Doctor
Thanks. Davin Lim
David. Your results were fabulous!! I am turning 60 soon and wish you were in the US! I’ve got an idea. Why don’t you take a yearly working vacation to the US?? Could you use your friend’s laser in LA?? Think about it! LOL! I will be your first patient for sure!! You are just amazing!!💝🌝🌝
LOL.. can't keep up with the work here. Davin Lim
Thanks Dr Davin, your content is simultaneously entertaining and informative. I don't know of any other channel that is providing the type of content you are. Please keep it up!
...And viewers like you keep me going... so thank you to all my subs. Davin Lim
Thanks Dr! I recently discovered your channel, subscribed and have been binge watching since. Also sharing with friends and family! Do you ever practice in Melbourne? Seriously considering going up to Brisbane for an appointment with you haha. If not, do you have any colleagues in Melbourne that you feel would be as awesome as you?
I love your channel doc. I learned a lot from you
I had profractional laser treatments (set of 3 treatments) and loved it. I only had 2 days of having to work at home so very little downtime. This makes me want to get in for a touch up! ♥ Elle
That was our old protocol 10 years ago, we now have technology for 1 treatment, better results. I still use my old Profractional occasionally when I want pigment removal over collagen.... Just used it a few days ago. A great laser and an old faithful.
I had the laser resurfacing done and I told her I didn't care about how much down time so she went and really hard on me but I got really really good results
Thats the key, except in Asians, .... if too much Co2 or erbium , then PIH, balance the patient is the key. Davin Lim
You’ve got great skin!
LOVE before and after pics. Let’s us decide. And indeed, you had a really nice result.
Love your videos keep them coming. Your honestly and integrity is why your subscriptions are on the rise. Your channel is def going places. Yay congrats 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻🙌🏻
Thanks, will keep this channel as educational only. Much appreciated. Davin s. Lim
You are such a wonderful doctor thank you for everything💕
Thanks for all the great videos. My favorite preventative skincare ingredient is drinking lots of water and exercise!
Your knowledge is amazing! I was stunned at the results with one treatment. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks, yes, the laser is pretty good as well. Davin Lim
Thanks for doing these informative videos, love it!!
Cheers, Davin Lim
I need this in my life. Wish we had something like this in Miami.
See Dr Jerremy Green, Dermatologist, he is very good with lasers. Davin Lim
Lol I thought you had some makeup on your skin looks very fresh always look forward to my Saturday skin envy fix 😂
LOL... I practice what I preach. DL,
If anybody had told me that I would be educating myself in my dermatologists use of lasers 6 month ago, I would have told them they were nuts. Also you dont see any advertisement concerning lasers here in Utah, it a different breed of people here than California where I am from. Well, having told you this now, may I add that I am so greatful for all you have taught me and if I can find a great Dermatologist like you here, I might go for it. Goodnight from Utah
P.S. Back to nice black hair again huh? I dont miss a thing. Lol My blond hair doesnt stay blond either.
Ida, with respects, for you age, you don't miss a thing...especially for a blonde. :) cheers, Davin
Dr Davin Lim well, You are a brave man Davin lol

That wasn't a question. It was a compliment!!! lol! Rita
Thanks for another great video from you again. Looking forward for more. :)
thx
I’m to,waiting to hit the lottery and flight out to you..you are the BEST!!!
LOL ,cheers. DL
Thanks Dr Lim for sharing and explaining, the reviews are very clear and honest! and never fail to mention other option or that you are voicing a personnal opinion not only based on your knowledge but also on context! I wish you were in Sydney or if it's possible to recommend a fellow dermatologist based in Syndey for a consultation! (skin tightening and rejuvenation obv)
Thanks
Sorry, I can't I know filler dermatologist or laser, but tightening no...
@@drdavinlim Thanks for your answer, I thought you could get a mild tightening effect with some kind of laser, happy with a laser dermatologist with your recommendation. Thanks !
are those new generation lasers safe and effective for brown/dark skin?
I could definitely see a difference between your before and after pictures! I do have a question that may be two-fold. I realize that you are a dermatologist specializing in lasers. But could you have received similar results with a chemical peel? I realize that you would have had skin peeling as a result. But I'm wondering if the outcome would be the same or similar?
Yes, but NOT in my skin type, I love chemical peels but public perception is that laser is better than peels, I beg to differ, but its Dr Google now a days.. Davin Lim. Brisbane Skin dermatologist.
If I ever win the lottery I'm in your office🛫I don't have any acne, just old...no scars on my face, but hey everyone needs improvement. You look awesome. The tightness under your eyes is amazing. Is this really expensive?
Cheers, I don't usually discuss costs - as 60-70% of my work involves insurance cover (birthmarks, scars, burns, traumatic scarring, Botox for medical conditions) 30-40% of my work is aesthetic- wrinkles, fillers etc... I like the mix, but prefer medical dermatology - especially scar revision. Worse the scar, the more I enjoy my work, cause it changes lives. Davin Lim
Dr Lim, can you please explain the difference between seeing a Dermatologist for laser treatments versus going to one of the 'skin clinics' I often see in shopping centres here in Australia?
With respect, 15 years of medical training... Cheers, Davin Lim
Wow looks great this will be where i head soon.
It really turn out great! Nice, it looks great.
Thanks. Dialled in the correct settings for a change :)
You have done great work o your channel! Ihave done fractional laser for the first time! I want to ask you, how more days i will have the dots on my face? I very worried about the stay permanent on my skin! Thank you doctor Lim about all the food information you are giving to us!
IMPOSSIBLE to comment as I did not perform the procedure.. depends the the settings, hence this video..... depends on the wavelength, density, power, overlaps, mix of devices, your skin type, your after care... that is what I am TRYING so hard to educate patients. Namely, each treatment is different. Your Dermatologist will give you the answer as he or she did the procedure. I wish you well, Dr Davin Lim. Brisbane Australia.
Doctor, please move to the USA! AU is too far :((
Hi doctor.... thanks for another great video......loved it.....also gonna try soon....
Cheers, DL
Great video once again! Who would you recommend in Perth as a great dermatologist? I am yet to find one.
.. laser and cosmetic wise.. nil. BUT skin cancer wise, Dr Tim Elliot or Dr Karl Vincullo.
Moving to Brisbane soon, I'm intrigued
I have to get my Australian Visa all ready!
Would love an update on any new technologies for lasers , etc.
Verry Good job Dr Davin lim
Thank you .. I did the settings, Katie my OCD nurse did the rest. Davin Lim
Hi Dr Lim!
I love your channel!
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge...
I was wondering if you would be able to recommend a laser dermatologist here in Melbourne?
Dr Phil Bekhor - he was my teacher and gave me the fundamentals ... so he is the best laser derm. in Melbourne, has the physics, devices, and skill sets. (except for fully ablative- because not much demand for that in Melb), Davin Lim
For some reason, I cannot see the line showing where I normally can back up and replay what you have said. Please bring it back. I often replay sections of a post if it is technical. I have to replay the whole video now. :-(
Hi Doctor Lim. I love your videos! Thank you for sharing all this wonderful information. I'm in the NY area and wanted to know if you could recommend any doctors around here to help me treat my acne scars with laser treatment.
Dr Michelle Green or if you want the best - Dr Rapaport... or Dr Novick
Thank you so much doctor!
@2:22 That is just ahh a piece of crap 😂😂😂 Ok now I know the RF microneedling doesn’t work 😆
Dr darvin I think you were looking better after Pico sure laser compared to this laser.
Love your videos! Wish i lived in Australia to get some treatments. Video Request: Hanacure review.
Cheers. Davin Lim. BRISBANE SKIN specialist.
You are looking younger and younger every time I see you!
Laser and hair dye.. Davin Lim. BRISBANE skin dermatologist.
Dr. Lim, What do you think of the DOT CO2 laser? Concerned about downtime, grid marks, and would value your input.
Hi Dr. Lim, love all this technology but it is so expensive... I would love to improve my skin but as a one income family it may as well be the impossible dream. Thanks for the information anyway.💁🏻
Thanks for the view. Davin Lim
Wish you were in the States! ;)
Me too ... I love CA.
Fascinating
CO2RE is still king stacked with a Ultrapulse with activeFX/DeepFX
OK.. you must have the super clocked variant ....and my SCAR FX must be running at 10% capacity... Gong to do a video on standardised testing of 5 different CO2 fractional lasers, but may save this for a conference. Cheers, Davin Lim
We have the UltraPulse now, using it mainly for blepharoplasty but have offers for the YouLaser and the CORE. Think we are going for the CORE for our daily resurfacing treatments. Where can I check your conference calendar ? We would love to meet you and pick your brain :)
Appreciate taking the time to share your experience with us! I have been reading about the plasma energy regenerative treatment any input on this energy?
Marketing.... its old, but brought back... DL
Good morning Doc...your looking good this morning...:)
Many thanks, Davin Lim. BRISBANE SKIn dermatologist.
Interesting. Also, lasers are a bit confusing to me( I’m better at comprehending skincare). Keep on educating us! 🤓
Lasers.. must be immersed in the industry to understand... sooooooo much bullshit from all companies. DL
Dr Davin Lim Could you recommend a good laser for tightening/ toning? Maybe something that helps produce more collagen??
CO2??
Hi Davin, what do u think of clear and brilliant laser for asian skintone..
Thanks for sharing. Are there any doctors in Canada offering acne scarring including laser treatment on patients taking accutane? Or are they all stuck on the old research showing we should wait 6-12 months
Depends if they read Journal on laser dermatology or Fishing Journals... Davin Lim ( its all in the most up to date clearly presented literature ) Davin Lim, Brisbane Skin specialist.
Doctor, is it true that lasers cause thermal damage to the skin leading to irreversible long-term damage?Why do you specialists use lasers? the patient, passing years after laser treatment, will cause damage to him and structural failure of the dermis, photosensitivity, possible onset of malignancies. Give me an explanation on this !!
Hi I was wondering what side affects it gives and how long it lasts? and also the cost of you lazer?Also is it good for acne?
what I understand that science shows it work I don't have any reaction or any peeling at all so i will to keep using i just want you courage for using it like i said no side effect when i am using it thank you
Welcome. Davin Lim
Dr have you heard of the enerjet device that is found in Canada Israel and the UK. Can you make a video on that please
I have used it, I think it has limited uses, Davin Lim
Thanks a lot! perfect overview
Thanks, hope a balanced review. I love working with this laser, BUT its so underpowered in the Co2 setting, give it 250% more power, and I think it will be almost perfect. ( would be better if triple wavelength, ) davin lim
Hello doc , iam in love with your dedication for dermatology. Iam from BRazil 🇧🇷 and my dream is to consult with you and treat my acne scars and be at your youtubechanel 😄! Iam a huge fan , and definitely I will try to visit Australia and consult with you .
Thank you Dalilia for your kind words, much appreciated, ,Davin Lim
Hi Dr Lim. Another informative video- thank you so much. I would love to hear your opinions on oral supplements for skin health. Collagen, biotin and those sorts of things. Are they worth the extra effort? Dosages? Or are they all just degraded in the stomach and just more marketing hype. Thanks from Vancouver!!
No harm.. but no science... So take them if you like. Davin LIm. BRISBANE SKIN specialist.
Thank you!❤
Thank you so much for your video Dr. Lim, I always watch yr videos as always. I hv a question. Can laser treat scars on lips? Thank your for your answer. Best regards, from Germany, If I am in Australia I would like to be treated with you.
Yes, within limits.
Hope you make a video specific for Nevus of ota and cases you treated i'm interested in it please 👍🏼
Is the you laser suitable for the eye wrinkles? And the the wrinkles around the mouth as well? Thanking you in advance
This video doesn’t include any information on mild jowls and neck tightening. Would PICOSURE apply as well? I have olive skin and sensitive skin. Also, are all PICOSURE just “one generation “?
What do you think of SmartLipo laser?
Thank you Doc! You’re so handsome!
Hi Dr. Darvin! Tank you for all your devices. What do you think about HIFU (High Intensity Focused Ultrasound) ?
Thank you
Love these videos. Such great information! ❤️😀👍🇨🇦🌎

Are these treatments suitable for those with darker skin tones? Do they present a higher risk of pigmentation issues after? I love your videos but as somebody of Indian dissent with darker skin tone I’m never sure which of the lasers you mention are unsuitable for me
Hi :-), which type of laser or treatment would you recommand for anti aging and better skin density? For somebody who is 40 and starts to notice a slight lack of skin elasticity? Are those treatments the one you Maybe use by yourself? Thank you.
Where can I find someone reasonable in palm beach county FL? I’m in Boca Raton. Staying with my friends
You should do a video of laser safe for African American skin although I am more fair than you I can't find anyone in Austin, Tx willing to treat my scars because they say I'd hyper pigment.
what about fotona 4D compared to Youlaser for treating acne scars and hyperpigmentation?
I’ve had 6 non ablative fractional laser for 2 scars on cheek from an accident that are quite deep. Not much difference at all. What would you recommend? Thanks
