Providing the effective, dramatic results of ablative resurfacing treatments – without its prolonged healing period – this procedure combines the best of both worlds. This technique restores skin to its fresh, health state, generally allowing patients to resume their normal routine almost immediately. The technique is based on the principle of micro-thermal treatment zones. The laser pulses create tine ablative zones, removing the epidermis and upper dermis. The treatment then triggers the body’s natural healing process, stimulating the growth of new, healthy skin tissue. The procedure treats small zones of the skin, leaving surrounding tissue untouched and intact. These large unaffected areas act as a reservoir for more effective and rapid tissue healing and collagen production. The bottom line: new healthier, smoother tissue in place of skin imperfections. What to expect? Your physician will determine the ideal treatment plan for your needs. Generally, treatment involves two to four sessions, at four week intervals. Fight after treatment you may feel a slight tingling sensation. You may experience slight swelling for a day or two.
