LASER WRINKLE REMOVAL

A Skin Rejuvenation Protocol

Advertised in the popular media as the “non-surgical” facelift, laser skin resurfacing treatment works by stimulating collagen growth at the molecular level. The laser creates microscopic gaps in the collagen, below the surface of the skin. Your body naturally repairs these gaps by filling them in with more collagen. The new collagen has a plumping affect on the skin and fills in fine lines and wrinkles from the inside out.

Our laser resurfacing treatments are the most up to date laser wrinkle removal treatments available. The Gentle YAG (Nd:YAG) Laser by Candela uses a non-ablative technology to stimulate the sub-dermal fibroblasts which give rise to new collagen. Rather than destroying the surface of the skin this method removes the wrinkles by restoring the collagen to the level it was at when the skin was younger.

During the laser resurfacing treatment, the tip of the laser is passed over the skin, and you may feel a warm or tingling sensation. Treatments normally last between 15 minutes and one hour. For those with sensitive skin we offer a prescription strength topical numbing cream. “Twilight sleep” or “Light Sleep Sedation” is also available. Wake up to a new younger face!

Laser skin treatments can treat not only wrinkles but also sun-damaged skin, growths, acne scarring, and other conditions. They have in many cases replaced chemical peels and dermabrasion. The precision offered by lasers has enabled doctors to affect the targeted tissue precisely without adverse side effects resulting in tremendous improvement in our ability to restore the skin to its natural youthful tone.
