Avava Laser

AVAVA is an advanced, non-ablative laser treatment that uses Focal Point Technology™ to deliver precise energy beneath the skin’s surface while minimizing disruption to surrounding tissue. Designed for all skin types, AVAVA helps improve acne scars, uneven texture, enlarged pores, skin quality, and signs of aging with minimal downtime.

Advanced Skin Rejuvenation with Precision Laser Technology 

Over time, sun exposure, acne, collagen loss, and the natural aging process can change the texture, tone, and overall quality of your skin. Fine lines may become more noticeable, pores can appear larger, and acne scars or uneven texture can make the skin look less smooth and refreshed. 

While medical-grade skincare and lighter aesthetic treatments can help maintain healthy-looking skin, some concerns require treatment beneath the skin’s surface to create more noticeable improvement. 

At Skin Spectrum in Tucson, AVAVA offers an advanced, non-surgical approach to skin rejuvenation. Unlike traditional fractional lasers that deliver energy along the entire path of the laser beam, AVAVA uses proprietary Focal Point Technology™ to concentrate energy at a precise depth beneath the skin’s surface while minimizing unnecessary epidermal disruption. 

This precision allows treatments to be customized based on each patient’s skin type, concerns, and aesthetic goals. 

How This Treatment Works 

AVAVA uses a 1550 nm fractional laser and proprietary Focal Point Technology™ to deliver focused energy beneath the skin’s surface. 

Its unique Conical Ring Geometry creates a concentrated focal point within the skin, allowing your provider to control the depth at which the laser energy is delivered. Treatment depths can be customized up to 1.8 mm depending on the area and concern being treated.

By creating precise microscopic zones of thermal energy within the skin, AVAVA initiates the body’s natural healing and renewal response while preserving surrounding tissue. This process helps improve overall skin quality and encourages gradual remodeling within the treated area.

AVAVA can help improve:

  • Acne scars
  • Fine lines and visible signs of aging
  • Sun-damaged or dull-looking skin
  • Uneven skin texture
  • Enlarged pores
  • Overall skin clarity and smoothness
  • General skin quality

Because AVAVA minimizes unnecessary disruption to the epidermis, the technology is designed to accommodate the full range of Fitzpatrick skin types.

What to Expect During Treatment

Your AVAVA treatment at Skin Spectrum begins with a comprehensive consultation to evaluate your skin type, concerns, treatment history, and aesthetic goals. Your provider will determine the appropriate treatment depth, energy, and treatment plan based on your individual needs.

During treatment, the AVAVA handpiece delivers fractional laser energy at carefully controlled depths within the skin. The system’s integrated ComfortCool™ technology cools the skin at the point of energy delivery to help make the treatment experience more comfortable.

Treatment time will vary depending on the size and number of areas being addressed.

Following treatment, you may experience temporary:

  • Redness
  • Mild swelling
  • Warmth or sensitivity
  • Dry or rough-feeling skin

Recovery varies based on treatment intensity and individual skin response. AVAVA is designed to minimize surface disruption and downtime, and your provider will give you personalized aftercare instructions based on your treatment.

As your skin goes through its natural renewal process, improvements in texture, clarity, and overall skin quality may continue to develop over time. A series of treatments may be recommended depending on your concerns and desired results.

Treatment Enhancements

AVAVA may be incorporated into a more comprehensive aesthetic treatment plan based on your individual skin concerns and goals. Your Skin Spectrum provider may recommend combining or sequencing AVAVA with treatments such as:

  • Botox, Daxxify, or Dysport – Helps soften dynamic wrinkles while AVAVA addresses overall skin quality and texture.
  • Dermal Fillers – Restores lost facial volume while laser treatment improves the appearance of the skin.
  • Medical-Grade Skincare – Supports healthy skin and helps maintain treatment results.
  • IPL Photofacial – May complement laser rejuvenation by targeting visible pigmentation or redness.
  • Microneedling – Provides another collagen-focused approach that may be incorporated into a customized skin rejuvenation plan.

Your provider will determine which treatments are appropriate and how they should be timed based on your skin and aesthetic goals.

AVAVA vs. Other Skin Resurfacing Treatments

AVAVA offers a different approach to fractional skin rejuvenation by concentrating laser energy at a controlled depth beneath the skin while minimizing unnecessary energy at the surface.

Traditional fractional lasers create microscopic treatment zones within the skin to stimulate renewal and improve texture.

Fractional CO2 lasers remove portions of the skin’s surface while heating deeper tissue, providing more intensive resurfacing for concerns such as deeper wrinkles, significant sun damage, and acne scarring, but typically requiring more downtime.

Microneedling creates controlled micro-injuries using fine needles rather than laser energy to stimulate the skin’s natural repair response.

Chemical peels use chemical solutions to exfoliate varying depths of the skin and improve concerns such as tone, texture, and pigmentation.

AVAVA’s Focal Point Technology™ allows energy to converge at a targeted depth, helping providers customize treatment while reducing unnecessary epidermal injury. This can make it an option for patients seeking meaningful skin rejuvenation without the recovery associated with more aggressive resurfacing procedures.

At Skin Spectrum, your provider will recommend the treatment best suited to your skin type, concerns, lifestyle, and desired level of correction.

AVAVA Laser for All Skin Tones

Laser resurfacing requires careful consideration for every patient, particularly those with higher levels of melanin in the skin. Excessive epidermal heat can increase the risk of unwanted pigment changes following some laser procedures.

AVAVA was engineered to address this challenge differently. Its Focal Point Technology™ concentrates energy at a selected depth beneath the skin while selectively sparing portions of the epidermis. By reducing unnecessary disruption to epidermal melanocytes, the technology is designed to provide treatment options across the full Fitzpatrick skin-type spectrum.

Your Skin Spectrum provider will evaluate your skin tone, treatment history, and individual risk factors before recommending any laser procedure.
