What Is Mosaic 3D Laser?
Mosaic 3D is an advanced 1550nm Erbium Glass non-ablative fractional resurfacing laser from Cynosure Lutronic. Unlike ablative lasers that remove the skin's surface, Mosaic 3D works beneath the surface to stimulate deep tissue regeneration without damaging the top layer of skin. This allows for impressive rejuvenation with significantly reduced downtime compared to traditional resurfacing treatments.
Mosaic 3D's integrated cooling system enables safe, comfortable treatment of even sensitive areas around the eyes and mouth. Cooled air flows through the handpiece onto unique cold-compression sapphire tips, which simultaneously cool and compress the skin. This synergy reduces pain, redness, and swelling while enhancing treatment efficacy and patient comfort.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does Mosaic 3D differ from CO2 laser resurfacing?
Mosaic 3D is non-ablative, meaning it works beneath the skin's surface without removing the top layer, resulting in significantly less downtime (2 to 5 days versus 2 to 3 weeks). While CO2 provides more dramatic results for severe concerns, Mosaic 3D offers impressive rejuvenation with a gentler approach.
Is Mosaic 3D painful?
Most patients find Mosaic 3D very tolerable. Numbing cream is applied before treatment, and the integrated cooling system helps minimize discomfort. Patients typically rate the sensation as 3 to 4 out of 10.
How many treatments will I need?
Most patients achieve optimal results with 2 to 4 treatment sessions spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart. Dr. Shafa will create a personalized plan based on your specific concerns and goals.
When will I see results?
Some patients notice improvements after their first treatment, with continued enhancement over 1 to 3 months as collagen production increases and skin remodeling progresses.
Can Mosaic 3D be combined with other treatments?
Yes, Mosaic 3D can be safely paired with other energy-based treatments, BOTOX, dermal fillers, or PRF in a single session for synergistic, comprehensive rejuvenation.
How long do Mosaic 3D results last?
With proper skincare and sun protection, results can last for years. Maintenance treatments can help extend and enhance your outcome.
What should I avoid after Mosaic 3D treatment?
Avoid excessive sun exposure, harsh skincare products, chemical peels, and vigorous exercise for several days after treatment. Dr. Shafa will provide detailed aftercare instructions to optimize your results.
