ETHEREA® MX PRODEEP
Etherea® ProDeep is an advanced non-ablative fractional 1340 nm Nd:YAP laser designed to stimulate deep dermal regeneration without surface ablation.
By delivering precise microthermal energy into the mid-to-deep dermis, ProDeep activates collagen remodelling, restructures abnormal scar tissue, and restores dermal integrity — while preserving the epidermis.
Unlike superficial resurfacing treatments, ProDeep works at the structural level where meaningful skin repair occurs. It is particularly effective for active acne, acne scarring, hypertrophic scars, stretch marks, and dermal laxity, delivering progressive improvement through biologically driven collagen renewal. Results develop naturally over time, producing stronger, smoother, more resilient skin with minimal interruption to daily life.
ETHEREA® MX ProDeep was developed to bring to market what is the best, most modern and truly effective modalities in laser and light-based applications. Featuring multiple different technologies, ETHEREA® MX ProDeep seeks to meet the specific needs of doctors and patients, offering a wide variety in treatment indications including acne scars, photo-rejuvenation, fractional resurfacing, non-ablative fractional rejuvenation, tattoo and pigmented lesion removal, deep and superficial vascular lesion treatment, acne and melasma treatment, skin tightening and hair removal.
ETHEREA® MX ProDeep Treatment at a Glance
The Science Behind Etherea® ProDeep
The 1340 nm Nd:YAP wavelength has a strong affinity for water within dermal tissue, allowing controlled thermal delivery into the structural layers of the skin while minimising epidermal disruption.
This selective dermal heating enables collagen stimulation at depth — without ablating or vaporising the skin surface — making it ideal for structural remodelling and scar rehabilitation.
Fractional Microthermal Architecture
ProDeep delivers energy in a fractional pattern, creating thousands of microscopic thermal zones surrounded by untreated tissue. This approach:
- Accelerates healing
- Reduces downtime
- Preserves surface integrity
- Enhances safety across skin types
The controlled thermal injury initiates a regulated wound-healing cascade that drives collagen renewal without prolonged recovery.
Collagen Remodelling & Structural Renewal
Thermal stimulation induces:
- Immediate collagen contraction
- Fibroblast activation
- Neocollagenesis (new collagen formation)
- Elastin reorganisation
Over subsequent weeks and months this results in:
- Softening of hypertrophic scars
- Thickening of atrophic acne scars
- Reduction in stretch mark depth
- Improved dermal density and firmness
- Enhanced skin texture and resilience
This is deep architectural remodelling rather than superficial resurfacing.
Sebaceous & Inflammatory Modulation (Active Acne)
In patients with inflammatory acne, dermal heating can:
- Reduce sebaceous gland activity
- Modulate inflammatory signalling
- Support longer-term acne stability
ProDeep can be delivered as a standalone treatment or integrated into a comprehensive acne management strategy.
How It Operates
ProDeep (1340 nm Nd:YAP) is a non-ablative fractional laser that delivers controlled thermal energy into the dermis without ablating the skin surface. Compared with other non-ablative fractional lasers such as 1540/1550 nm Er:Glass, it is similarly used for collagen stimulation, acne scarring, stretch marks, and textural improvement, with minimal downtime and progressive remodelling over multiple sessions. Compared with 1927 nm thulium, ProDeep targets deeper dermal structures and is more suited to structural remodelling rather than predominantly superficial pigmentation concerns.
Compared with ablative fractional lasers such as CO₂ and Er:YAG, it offers a gentler recovery profile with less epidermal disruption, although ablative lasers may achieve more aggressive resurfacing in severe cases. For this reason, ProDeep is often used within a layered laser treatment strategy, where different devices are chosen to treat different depths and features of the skin.
Benefits of Etherea® ProDeep
Deep collagen remodelling (without surface ablation) — Stimulates structural collagen renewal while keeping the epidermis largely intact.
Improves acne scarring architecture — Helps thicken and reorganise atrophic acne scars (e.g. rolling/boxcar) over time.
Supports active acne control — Dermal heating can reduce sebaceous overactivity and inflammatory signalling, helping reduce breakouts.
Softens hypertrophic and raised scars — Gradually remodels dense, abnormal collagen bundles to improve texture and pliability.
