AdvaTx

ADVATx treats multiple skin concerns in one session using two laser wavelengths delivered together: 589nm, which targets redness, pigment, and blood vessels, and 1319nm, which heats deeper layers to stimulate collagen. Because the two wavelengths work together, this is done without damaging the skin’s surface.

ADVATx treats facial redness and rosacea, visible blood vessels such as spider veins and broken capillaries, active acne and acne scarring, uneven pigmentation, sun damage, and concerns with skin texture and tone. The result is a clearer, brighter, more refined complexion Advalight calls the “ADVA Glow.”

ADVATx’s Soft Pulsing technology treats redness and vascular concerns without the significant bruising or purple discoloration commonly associated with traditional pulsed-dye lasers. With no anesthesia required and minimal discomfort, treatments are gentle and suitable for Fitzpatrick skin types I–V.

• Stop using retinol or tretinoin products at least 5 days before your appointment.
• Avoid exfoliating products for the 5 days before treatment.
• Avoid excessive sun exposure or tanning for 2 weeks prior, and apply broad-spectrum SPF 30+ daily leading up to your appointment.
• History of cold sores? Let us know ahead of time. If you’re being treated on the face, you may need a prophylactic antiviral prescription.
• Arrive with clean, product-free skin. No lotion, makeup, or oils on the treatment area.
• Tell your provider about any medications, skincare products, recent treatments, or changes to your skin.

• Most ADVATx appointments take about an hour. Some clients may achieve their desired results after just one treatment, while others benefit from a series of 3–5 treatments, often spaced approximately one month apart. The number of sessions needed depends on the concern being treated, your skin, and your individual goals. Your provider will recommend a treatment plan specifically for you.

ADVATx requires little to no downtime, and most clients can return to their normal activities right away. Mild warmth or temporary redness may occur after treatment and typically subsides within a few hours. Because ADVATx is non-ablative, meaning it works without removing or damaging the surface of the skin, it does not typically cause the peeling or extended recovery associated with more aggressive resurfacing treatments.

Mild redness and slight swelling for 2–4 hours is normal. A cool compress or handheld fan can help with any sensitivity. For the first 24 hours, avoid hot tubs, saunas, hot showers, strenuous exercise, and spicy foods. Don’t apply anything to the treatment area until the next morning, and avoid AHAs, BHAs, Retin-A, or Renova for 72 hours. Use a gentle cleanser during this time before returning to your normal skincare routine, and stay out of direct sun, with SPF 50+ worn daily. Never pick or peel treated skin. Plan to skip makeup for 48–72 hours; mineral-based makeup is best once you resume. Most clients see visible improvement in redness and vascular concerns within 24 hours, though optimal results typically build over a series of treatments.

Yes. ADVATx can be incorporated into a customized treatment plan alongside other aesthetic treatments, including microneedling, injectables, and other skin rejuvenation services. Depending on your skin concerns and goals, treatments may be performed during the same visit or spaced apart to allow for proper healing. Your provider will recommend the safest and most effective combination and timing for your skin.
