ThreeForMe is an advanced laser treatment designed to tackle three major skin concerns—wrinkles, sun damage, and visible blood vessels—all in a single session. This dual-step approach rejuvenates the skin by combining two proven laser technologies for enhanced results.
How ThreeForMe Works
ThreeForMe is a two-step treatment that utilizes both Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) and a fractional Erbium laser to address different layers of the skin.
Step 1: IPL for Discoloration & Blood Vessels
The first step delivers IPL, a broad-spectrum light that penetrates the skin to target pigmentation concerns and broken blood vessels without damaging the surface. IPL effectively treats:
- Freckles and sunspots
- Rosacea-related redness
- Spider veins and broken capillaries
Few other light-based treatments match IPL’s ability to reduce blood vessel visibility and sun-induced pigmentation.
Step 2: Fractional Erbium Laser for Skin Renewal
The second step uses a fractional Erbium laser, which creates thousands of micro-injuries in the skin while leaving surrounding tissue intact. This controlled process stimulates collagen production and accelerates cellular turnover, improving:
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Skin texture and elasticity
- Acne scars and stretch marks
Thanks to this fractional approach, healing is quicker, and downtime is minimal.
What to Expect from Treatment
Most patients undergo a series of one to three sessions spaced about a month apart, though your provider will tailor the plan to your specific skin needs.
Studies show that after just two sessions, 90% of patients report visible skin improvement. Dermatologist Dr. Robert Weiss highlights that the dual-laser approach may lead to faster, more effective results than single-modality treatments.
Who is a Good Candidate?
ThreeForMe is generally safe for most skin types. However, those with darker skin tones (olive to deep brown) may be at higher risk for pigmentation changes, so consultation with a provider is essential.
Pros & Cons of ThreeForMe
Pros:
- Quick procedure (30–40 minutes)
- Addresses multiple skin concerns in one treatment
- Minimal downtime (redness and swelling for a few days)
- Lower risks compared to some other laser treatments
What Happens During the Treatment?
- A topical numbing cream may be applied to enhance comfort.
- The IPL portion is performed first, followed by one or two passes of the Erbium laser.
- The treatment feels similar to a rubber band snapping against the skin. A cooling mechanism helps minimize discomfort.
- No anesthesia is required, and you can return to your daily routine immediately afterward.
Post-Treatment & Results
- Expect mild redness and swelling, similar to a light sunburn, which typically resolves within a few days.
- Brown spots may darken before flaking off within one to three weeks.
- Some vascular improvements may be noticeable immediately.
- Wrinkles, fine lines, and scars will continue to improve over the next six months as new collagen forms.
Aftercare Tips
- You can wear makeup to cover redness.
- Avoid sun exposure, and use broad-spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen daily to protect your skin.
- Follow your provider’s recommendations for optimal recovery and long-term results.
