Bridge Therapy | Fractional CO2
Bridge Therapy is the family of fractional treatments encompassing PigmentFX,
ActiveFX, DeepFX and TotalFX. Each procedure involves treating only a fraction of the
skin’s surface, leaving “bridges” of untouched skin to aid in the regeneration process.
Bridge Therapy utilizes UltraPulse®, the gold standard of CO2 lasers, to deliver a variety of
low downtime treatments that can be customized for all of your patients.

Patients want the low downtime and safety of non-ablative
treatment with results that are closer to traditional resurfacing
— now you can bridge the gap between patient
expectations and clinical results with bridge therapy.

TECHNOLOGY and SCIENCE
Continuously Adjust Healing Zone
By carefully choosing the volume of skin
left untreated, practitioners tailor treatments
to the indication and patient’s tolerance of
downtime. Only the UltraPulse gives you the
flexibility to leave 95% to 0% of tissue intact.
Deeper wrinkles and scars have a dermal component
and are most effectively treated by penetrating deep into
the problem areas. Higher percentage of untreated skin
enables quicker healing.
Dyschromias are superficial and respond best to near
complete coverage. Less untreated skin, a larger spot size
and less penetration are ideal for this indication.
Ablate, Contract and RemodelEach pulse ablates a column of tissue, eliminating discolorations at
the surface and causing volumetric skin reduction. As ablation occurs,
deep heating stimulates immediate collagen contraction and long-term
collagen remodeling.
Select Volume Treated
Superior treatments balance spot size and treatment depth. As the spot
size is reduced, depth can be increased without increasing downtime.

You’re going to get this immediate effect and then you get the long-term collagen stimulation. The nice thing is that patients come in and get an instant result. So the satisfaction from the patient is high and the complication rate is extremely low. It is easy for the patient to take care of and easy for the physician to deal with in the post-operative care period.

I like the flexibility of Bridge Therapy because we treat some patients with pigments. Both Asian patients and Hispanic patients have been treated, really, up to and including skin type fives, with moderate settings and really no problems with hyper-pigmentation.
