How does Laser skin Rejuvenation work?
Collagen provides the support network to our skin. As we age, the collagen breaks down, causing lines and wrinkles. The laser works by heating the tissue and stimulating fibroblasts to produce collagen. As the new collagen is generated, lines and wrinkles are decreased. Additionally, years of sun exposure can cause discoloration, large pores and pigmented or red areas on the skin. Patients report and studies have confirmed that this procedure results in a refreshed appearance, smoother skin texture, even skin tone, and a decrease in pore size. Those with acne scarring will also notice improvement.
Why should I choose this procedure?
Laser skin rejuvenation is non-ablative, quick, and offers no downtime; you can immediately return to your normal activities. There is minimal discomfort and a very low risk of any complications. Patients will experience progressive improvement over several months for a fresh, natural look. Laser skin rejuvenation is compatible with other cosmetic procedures so that maximum results can be achieved.
What type of skin can be treated safely?
In the hands of our trained medical professionals, the lasers offer a safe and effective treatment with very little risk of complication. Patients of all skin types can be safely treated, including tanned skin. The laser can be used to rejuvenate many body areas including face, hands, neck, chest, scars, and stretch marks.
How many treatments will I need?
Laser skin rejuvenation is a gradual process. Usually patients need 4–6 treatments spaced at 3–5 weeks apart. Many patients choose to return for touch-up treatments after the initial treatment plan ends.
What does the procedure feel like?
Laser skin rejuvenation is not painful. Many describe the feeling as a warm and tingling sensation. Anesthesia is not necessary.
What can I expect after the treatment?
Absolutely no down-time is required. Laser skin rejuvenation does not remove any surface skin or cause any visible effect beyond a mild to moderate redness, which usually fades within an hour after treatment. No specific care is needed after treatment, although you may be asked to avoid sun and some use recommended skin products after the treatment to maintain results!
