LASER SKIN CARE
There
are a multitude of cosmetic resurfacing procedures
to help you undo the damage of time and too much sun
exposure. Medical Aesthetics is proud to offer
individualized home and office programs that will
ultimately reward you with a smooth, glowing
complexion.
One of the most dramatic innovations of nonsurgical
cosmetic treatments is laser rejuvenation. Lasers
treat a multitude of conditions of photoaged skin
and are effective in treating mild to moderate
wrinkles, lax skin, and stimulating collagen
production.
Laser therapy is also effective in treating acne and
the resultant scarring. This treatment is
noninvasive with no side effects and is suitable for
all body areas including face and neck acne, chest
acne, and back acne. The high-intensity band light
source penetrates both the skin surface and ducts to
destroy acne bacteria and unclog congested skin.
Medical Aesthetics uses laser photorejuvenation and
Photodynamic Therapy for
acne and for
sun damage in combination with a skin care
program, and in-office procedures. A consultation
and treatment plan are necessary to ensure that the
best possible schedule is obtained based on the
client’s history and needs. Before, during and after
pictures are taken to document the changes.
PHOTOREJUVENATION
Photorejuvenation
is a relatively new process which uses Intense
Pulsed Light (IPL) and laser to fade or
eliminate benign pigmented spots and vascular
lesions while diminishing the size of pores, sun
damage, and wrinkles in your skin. Consequently,
your skin becomes smoother, with a younger
appearance.
Who
benefits from Photorejuvenation?
Men and women of all ages who want to reverse the
effects of aging, but not all are not ready for
facelifts or more invasive laser resurfacing.
How
does it work?
Photorejuvenation can be done with a variety of IPL
devices and lasers on the market today. The most
elaborate and expensive machine which allows the
physician to select from the widest number of
treatment choices is the Vasculight SR, built by
Lumenis. We only use the Vasculight SR in our
clinics to perform the Photorejuvenation.
Unlike laser resurfacing and chemical peels, the
beauty of the noninvasive Photorejuvenation is that
there is virtually no downtime. People who have had
laser resurfacing sometimes have skin which looks
like "something has been done to it". Following
laser resurfacing or a deep chemical peel, one must
"go into hiding" until the skin heals. The skin may
not appear natural, and there can be persistent
redness following laser resurfacing. Unlike laser
resurfacing, the Photorejuvenation has minimal
discomfort with an absence of scarring, leaving the
skin looking younger and healthier immediately. The
improvement in the skin quality is more dramatic
than what can be accomplished with microdermabrasion
alone.
Microdermabrasion
is wonderful for surface irregularities, but it
cannot eliminate conditions such as redness,
flushing, broken capillaries, or promote the
formation of new collagen in the dermis.
Photorejuvenation selectively targets abnormal
changes that develop with age and successfully
improves fine lines, sun-damage, age spots, the
symptoms of rosacea, broken veins, enlarged pores,
and numerous other facial flaws.
Photorejuvenation causes new cells to form; it also
stimulates the creation of collagen in the dermis.
This gives the skin a better texture.
