Skin Rejuvenation & Lifting (RecoSMA® on the MULTILINE™ Platform)

RecoSMA® is LINLINE’s non-thermal laser method for skin rejuvenation and lifting. It uses the Er:YAG 2.94 µm emitter on the MULTILINE™ base unit, fitted with the SMA module to deliver micro-ablative surface action and deep, non-thermal stimulation of the dermis and SMAS (the superficial musculoaponeurotic system). The result: smoother texture, softening of lines, improved tone and visible lift—with minimal downtime and no epidermal injury.

How RecoSMA® works

• Surface precision: The SMA module splits the Er:YAG beam into thousands of micro-beams (≤50 µm; up to ~10,000/cm²). These produce pinpoint micro-ablations that refresh the outer layers without creating a large, raw wound.
• Deep, non-thermal effect: Each micro-event launches acoustic waves that interfere in depth (≈3–6 mm), reaching the dermis/SMAS where they trigger regeneration (neocollagenesis, angiogenesis) without heating tissues. 

What this means for you: the skin is prompted to rebuild itself—not just contract—so the improvement looks natural and progresses over weeks after the session. 

What it treats

• Photoaging & laxity: fine lines, wrinkles, ptosis-related sagging, dull tone.
• Texture & pores: uneven surface and atrophic change.
• Periocular rejuvenation: including eyelids (with proper eye protection).
• Neck, décolleté and body areas (hands, abdomen, thighs) when tone and texture need improvement.

Evidence & outcomes (what studies show)

Face (n=100; prospective cohort): significant decreases in wrinkle depth by 30–90 days; ultrasound showed dermis and SMAS thickening; histology showed increased collagen I/III/IV at 90 days; well-tolerated with short recovery. 

Immunohistochemical examination:

• The content of collagen III in the dermis is notably increased
• The formation of longitudinally oriented fibers

Ultrasound image DUB Cutis, 22 MHz

• Increased volume and echogenic density of the dermis
• SMAS thickness became greater

Clinic experience notes painless treatment (no anesthesia), intact epidermal barrier, and return to routine quickly.

To date, more than 500,000 procedures have been performed in more than 15+ countries with no reported side effects.

What a session is like

• Comfort: Most patients describe brief warmth/tingling; anesthesia is typically not required.
• On-table feel: the handpiece glides in scan patterns; treatment of full face takes 30-40 minutes.
• Downtime: temporary bronzing/peeling that disappears as the skin renews itself. Many return to routine within 3–4 days.
• Aftercare: gentle cleansing, sun exposure recommendations.
• Results timeline: skin often looks fresher within days, with lifting and texture continuing to improve for 1–3 months as collagen matures. 

Benefits at a glance

For patients

• Natural-looking rejuvenation & lift (dermis + SMAS) without surgical downtime.
• Comfortable: typically no anesthesia; treatment of eyelids is feasible with protection.
• Minimal recovery: barrier remains largely intact; most resume routine in days.
• Evidence-based improvements: elasticity up, dermal/SMAS thickness up, collagen I/III/IV up on histology.
• Avoids the typical EBD-related risks—scarring, edema, erythema, and pigmentary changes.

For practitioners

• Non-thermal mechanism: reduces risk of thermal injury while enabling deep biological effect.
• Predictable workflow: micro-beam geometry (≤50 µm, high density) with stable Er:YAG output on the MULTILINE™ base unit.
• Broad applicability: face/neck/eyelids/body; compatible with combination plans (e.g., Pinpoint Coagulation™ for discrete pigment; vascular TCT when indicated on separate visits).
• Designed for all phototypes, including darker skin tones (Fitzpatrick IV–VI).
• Practice efficiency: no consumable tips, protocol presets, and short room turnover. 

Who is a good candidate?

Adults seeking smoother, firmer, lifted skin with limited downtime. Works across a wide range of skin tones. Many face cases show visible change after 1 session; courses vary by area.

Safety

RecoSMA® is natural barrier-sparing and designed to avoid thermal damage. Published cohorts report high tolerance and no adverse events under study conditions; standard laser safety (eye protection, antiviral prophylaxis when indicated) applies. 

How it fits in your clinic (MULTILINE™ platform)

RecoSMA® runs by attaching the SMA module to the Er:YAG 2.94 µm emitter on the MULTILINE™ base unit—alongside LINLINE methods for vascular (TCT), pigment (Pinpoint Coagulation™), hair (QOOL-epilation®) and tattoo (DAW). One platform, multiple applications; stable parameters and presets support consistent outcomes across staff. 

Key takeaways

• RecoSMA® = regeneration-driven lifting & rejuvenation (surface micro-ablation + deep non-thermal stimulation to dermis/SMAS).
• Clinical signals of efficacy: improved elasticity, dermal/SMAS thickness, and collagen I/III/IV; short recovery; well-tolerated.
• Patient-friendly: comfortable, natural-looking results with few lifestyle limits post-procedure (follow local aftercare).
