Has your skin lost its luster? Are you plagued by leathery, sun damaged skin? Unfortunately, this is a common condition experienced by patients as young , for some, in their thirties. An accumulation of wear and tear through environmental factors and age surface , sometimes making us appear older than our true calender age, but did you know a layer of more youthful, glowing skin is hiding behind the mask of blemished skin?
Fractionated laser skin resurfacing is a highly effective tool for unveiling the youthful glow of fresh skin hidden under a shell of imperfection. Recently advocated by Courtney Cox who admitted her usage to Jay Leno, laser skin resurfacing uses heat induced by laser light to heat and remove (vaporize) the upper, damaged layers of the skin. This causes new skin to grow. As opposed to older, more invasive methods of laser resurfacing, fractionated technology only targets the blemished areas, not the entire face. Essentially, for every zone the fractionated laser targets and intensively treats, the surrounding tissue is left unaffected and intact. This allows for less downtime and discomfort. Fractionated laser skin resurfacing is not just for the face, as it is also effective in treating the chest, back and hands.
Conditions Treated by Fractionated Laser Resurfacing:
- wrinkles-caused by aging and long-term sun exposure, such as those around the eyes and mouth
- pigment-changes or defects in the skin, such as liver spots (lentigines), port-wine stains or coffee spots
- Superficial scars- caused by acne, surgery or trauma that are not growing or getting thicker
