RedTouch Pro 675 nm in Asoke

What is RedTouch Pro?

The 675 nm red-light wavelength interacts with melanin and dermal collagen. Controlled energy delivery is designed to support collagen remodelling, while published clinical studies have also evaluated this wavelength for selected melasma. The appropriate indication and settings depend on medical assessment.

Because the epidermis is protected by integrated contact cooling, the surface is intended to remain non-ablated, although crusting or other reactions can still occur — it targets texture without ablating the surface, while response and recovery still vary. Developed by DEKA, Italy, suitability for sensitive or easily irritated skin still requires assessment.

Two primary targets — and one emerging vascular signal

Evidence summary reviewed from prospective clinical studies, histology and laboratory research. Study designs and endpoints differ, so these mechanisms should not be read as a promise of a specific result.

What RedTouch Pro is designed to address

A doctor may consider it for

• —Selected melasma, excess pigment or uneven-looking tone after diagnosis
• —Fine lines and photoaged skin on the face; selected neck or dorsal-hand concerns after area-specific assessment
• —Selected shallow atrophic acne scars, uneven texture and enlarged pores
• —People seeking a non-ablative option with generally no planned downtime

What does the Thai study say about RedTouch Pro for melasma?

A prospective pre–post study from Siriraj Hospital enrolled 28 Thai women with Fitzpatrick skin types III–V. Participants received three monthly sessions of the 675 nm RedTouch laser as monotherapy. Mean modified Melasma Area and Severity Index (mMASI) decreased by about 41% at the 3-month follow-up and remained about 34% below baseline at 6 months.

The 675 nm wavelength interacts with both melanin and dermal collagen. In this study, reported reactions were mild and temporary, but the result cannot be treated as a guarantee: there was no comparison group, the sample was small and entirely female, and follow-up lasted only 6 months with a minor rebound at the final visit.

Face, neck and dorsal hands require different assessment

Facial fine lines have been evaluated in small prospective studies of the 675 nm laser, including periocular and perioral areas. Change is gradual because the goal is collagen remodelling rather than filling or relaxing a moving wrinkle immediately.

Dorsal hands have a small 21-person study focused on photodamage, pigmentation and texture. Hand skin is thin and heals differently, so settings should not simply be copied from the face. Neck lines may reflect skin quality, laxity, muscle movement or horizontal creases; direct 675 nm evidence for neck lines remains limited and another treatment may fit the main cause better.

Scar type determines whether RedTouch is used alone

Fractional 675 nm delivery may support collagen remodelling for selected atrophic acne scars, uneven texture and enlarged pores. A prospective Asian study in Fitzpatrick III–IV skin reported gradual improvement after three monthly sessions, but the sample was small and results varied.

RedTouch does not release fibrous bands under tethered rolling scars and cannot rebuild every deep ice-pick scar. These patterns may need Subcision, focal treatment or a combination plan. The realistic goal is softer scar edges and more even-looking texture, not poreless skin.

On the day and afterwards

After cleansing, the doctor scans the treatment area with the RedTouch Pro handpiece — most people feel gentle warmth with the integrated cooling keeping the surface comfortable, so numbing cream is usually unnecessary. A full-face session takes about 20–30 minutes.

There is generally no planned downtime. If the skin surface is intact, makeup is usually possible immediately after the clinician's check. Temporary redness, warmth, swelling, crusting or irritation can still occur depending on the individual response and settings. Moisturise, avoid strong actives for a couple of days, and use SPF 50 daily.

When changes may appear

Changes in excess pigment and visual tone may be noticed over a treatment series, while fine lines, scar edges, texture and the appearance of pores generally change more gradually as collagen remodels. Timing differs by diagnosis and body area. Melasma can recur, deep scars may need combination treatment, and neck or dorsal-hand plans should not be assumed to respond like the face.

Everyone responds differently. Before treatment, your doctor will examine the area and talk through a plan that makes sense for you.
