Energy based devices? Are they worth it?




In the ever-evolving landscape of aesthetic medicine, advancements continue to redefine the way patients approach their cosmetic goals. Among these innovations, energy-based devices stand out as transformative tools that have revolutionised the patient journey. As an aesthetic nurse, I've had the privilege of witnessing firsthand the profound impact these devices have had on enhancing the beauty and confidence of individuals and in my practice we have seen life changing results using devices such as The Neogen and Dermalux Tri Wave MD.


Energy-based devices utilise various forms of energy, such as laser, radiofrequency, ultrasound, and light, to target specific skin concerns and imperfections. From skin tightening and rejuvenation to hair removal and scar reduction, the versatility of these devices is truly remarkable. What sets them apart is their ability to deliver controlled energy deep into the skin's layers, stimulating collagen production, promoting cellular regeneration, and achieving remarkable results with minimal downtime and in particular my personal favourite in a tailored manner ensuring you have the flexibility to adjust a treatment protocol depending on the needs of your patient!


One of the most significant advantages of energy-based treatments is their non-invasive or minimally invasive nature. Unlike traditional surgical procedures, which often involve significant risks, prolonged recovery periods, and visible scarring, these treatments offer patients a safer, more convenient alternative. Patients can undergo a session during their lunch break and return to their daily activities immediately afterward, making it a seamless addition to their busy schedules.


Moreover, energy-based devices cater to a wide range of skin types and tones, making them inclusive and accessible to a diverse patient population. Whether addressing signs of ageing, pigmentation issues, acne scars, or unwanted hair, these treatments can be customised to meet individual needs effectively. This versatility is particularly crucial in aesthetic medicine, where personalised care is paramount to achieving optimal outcomes.


Beyond their efficacy and convenience, energy-based treatments provide patients with a sense of empowerment and confidence in their appearance. Many individuals seek aesthetic procedures not out of vanity, but rather as a means of enhancing their self-esteem and reclaiming their youthful vitality. By addressing concerns that may have plagued them for years, these treatments offer a renewed sense of self-assurance and a newfound appreciation for their reflection in the mirror.


From a clinical standpoint, energy-based devices have become indispensable tools in our arsenal as aesthetic practitioners. Their precise targeting capabilities, predictable outcomes, and minimal risk profile make them a preferred choice for addressing a myriad of cosmetic concerns. Furthermore, advancements in technology have led to the development of increasingly sophisticated devices that deliver superior results with greater efficiency and safety.


As with any medical procedure, patient education and safety are paramount. As an aesthetic nurse, part of my role involves guiding patients through their treatment journey, ensuring they have a thorough understanding of what to expect and how to care for their skin post-procedure. By fostering open communication and building trust with our patients, we can empower them to make informed decisions about their aesthetic goals and support them every step of the way. Plus with regenerative medicine being a popular narrative in todays climate it has been exciting to see how we have been able to combine these technologies alongside regenerative treatments such as Polynucleotides and Exosomes.


The top and bottom of it is Energy-based devices have emerged as a vital component of the modern patient journey in aesthetic medicine. Their ability to deliver safe, effective, and minimally invasive treatments has revolutionised the way we approach cosmetic enhancement. As we continue to innovate and refine our techniques, I am excited to witness the ongoing impact these devices will on my patients and the incredible results we can share with our patients along the way!
