About your skin
We were all
born with smooth, baby-soft skin. As we go through life, skin is subject to
numerous experiences that leave it less than perfect. For many of us, our first
exposure to skin problems is with chicken pox in childhood, then acne
scars in our teen year.
Some of us are lucky enough
to escape these hazards, although time, heredity and gravity are still doing
their part to create fine lines and wrinkles, especially around the mouth and
eyes. Over-exposure to the sun, alcohol use, and smoking are all known to
significantly accelerate the signs of aging.
Laser Skin Resurfacing
We are now able to remove
surface imperfections and dramatically reduce lines and wrinkles with a new
procedure called laser skin resurfacing. Using the computer controlled CO(2) or
COOL-SKIN laser, we can gently remove sun-damaged, aging skin, helping to
stimulate regeneration of the healthy skin producing smoother, fresher,
younger-looking skin.
The laser uses a beam of light to vaporize scarred, lined, wrinkled, and other
skin imperfections. Laser light penetrates to a controlled depth, making the
procedure safe. Because the laser is gentle, return to your normal routine is
fast.
Rapid, Safe, and Gentle
UltraPulse laser skin
resurfacing is rapid and gentle. The treatment is bloodless and does not involve
chemicals.
In the first few days after the procedure, your skin will weep as new collagen
is formed to rebuild the skin from the bottom up. Some crusting may develop as a
new skin surface is formed. This new skin will have a pinkish to reddish quality
which fades over the next few days to weeks.
Post-procedure discomfort is usually minor. Thick ointments are applied
liberally for the first few days to protect the new skin, followed by
moisturizers with sun block or Aloe Vera lotion. Makeup can usually be resumed
after 7-10 days. The effect of the treatment develops over a few months
following the procedure and can be expected to last for several years. The
results of any cosmetic procedure can be expected to fade over time as the
natural aging process takes over, at which time the procedure can be repeated.
