Laser Skin Resurfacing: Can help enhance your appearance and self-confidence.

Purpose:
Men and women of all ages can benefit from laser resurfacing. The ideal patient for this procedure has fair, healthy, non-oily skin. Patients with olive skin, brown skin, or black skin may be at increased risk for pigmentation changes no matter what type of resurfacing method is recommended.

Laser resurfacing can be used to:

• Remove areas of wrinkled skin
• Minimize the appearance of fine lines, especially around the mouth & eyes
• Effective for treating facial scars & uneven pigmentation
• Can be performed in conjunction with other cosmetic procedures such as facelift or eyelid surgery

How it is performed:
Laser resurfacing is performed using a beam of laser energy, which vaporizes the upper layers of damaged skin at specific and controlled levels of penetration.

Resurfacing may offer advantages over other resurfacing methods:

• Precision controlled so specific areas can be targeted
• Little if any bleeding & bruising
• Less post-operative discomfort

The outer layers of damaged skin are stripped away. Then, as new cells form during the healing process, a smoother, tighter, younger-looking skin surface appears.

• Individuals who have taken Accutane in the past 12-18 months or are prone to abnormal (keloid-like) scarring or those with active skin infections on the treatment area may not be appropriate candidates for this procedure.
• Recovery - 2 to 3 weeks to be "socially presentable."

V-Star Laser: Pulse dye laser:
Unlike CO2 lasers, dermabrasion or chemical peels that remove the outer skin and require significant healing time, the pulse dye laser gently penetrates the skin without damaging it and destroys the blood vessels and brown pigment that are the cause of the problem. It also tightens and minimizes large pores.
