Laser Resurfacing

ACTIVE FX

The UltraPulse® CO2 (Active FX) laser allows us to accomplish dramatic improvement in one treatment only! By using an unique “bridge therapy” (link to Skin Rejuvenation) not only can the results be spectacular, but the recovery period (or downtime) are significantly reduced when compared with standard ablative laser surgery.

The goal of laser skin therapy is simple: replace damaged skin with new, fresh skin. Techniques for skin resurfacing have made enormous advances, allowing nearly everyone to achieve close to flawless complexions. The primary targets of laser skin therapy include:

•Fine lines and wrinkles of the face, especially around the upper lip, cheeks and forehead

• Loose eyelid skin

• Crow’s feet around the eyes

• Pucker marks (smoker’s lines) and frown lines

• Brown spots and splotchy, uneven skin tone

• Scars, especially acne scars

• Damaged Skin on hands, neck & chest

• Loose skin around the neck and jowls

The gold standard of laser treatment systems, the UltraPulse® CO2 laser, delivers thousands of tiny laser pulses in a pattern over the skin. Each pulse heats a column of tissue eliminating pigment discolorations at the surface and creating a zone of heating deep in the tissue.

Unique to the UltraPulse Encore, these zones of heating shrink collagen immediately. The CO2 laser also offers the benefits of heating deeper layers of skin tissue, thereby stimulating more collagen, remodeling the skin even further. Patients can select from a range of treatments depending on the needs of your skin and lifestyle.

DEEP FX

Deeper wrinkles and scars are most effectively treated by penetrating deep into the problem areas. A higher percentage of untreated skin enables quicker healing.

The deep heating associated with Deep FX causes immediate collagen tightening and long-term collagen remodeling. The patient can expect softening and smoothing of wrinkles and scars, with improved skin texture. The Deep FX treatment is fantastic for wrinkles around the mouth and eyes.
