The
Effect
Non-ablative technologies can treat conditions such as
facial wrinkles, rosacea (an inflammatory skin condition
that causes facial redness), sun damage, hyperpigmentation,
age and “liver” spots, and minor surface irregularities.
This treatment gives one a more younger-looking skin.

The
Procedure
This procedure takes about 30 minutes per session. It is
ideal to get this procedure on a monthly basis in a series
of three to five visits. Local anesthesia is utilized in
this treatment.
Non-ablative Laser Resurfacing makes use of light energy in
order to encourage collagen remodeling and get rid of
irregular pigmentation and distended blood vessels from the
skin surface. Non‑ablative Laser Treatment can be done on
any part of the body with very minimal or even no risk of
scarring, unlike the conventional resurfacing techniques.
The fundamental principal of this procedure is to create a
controlled injury to specific “target” structures in the
dermis while preventing any damage to the epidermis. The
absorbed light energy sets fibroblasts in motion in order to
encourage collagen remodeling and the production of new
collagen.

Recovery Time
In this
treatment, there is no extended healing phase with related
risk of complications since this procedure does not damage
the outer layers of the skin. There is also no down time or
loss of time from normal activities.
Healing from the procedure is usually quick. On the other
hand, clinical improvement and tightening will happen
gradually and would take over several weeks to result in a
subtle, natural-looking skin.

Frequently Asked
Questions
Q: What
is laser skin rejuvenation?
A:
Laser skin rejuvenation treatment is an innovative technique
used to fight the signs of aging. Stimulation of a
smoother, healthier looking skin is achieved by this
non‑invasive procedure. Laser skin rejuvenation does not
entail an extensive investment of time and money which is
necessitated by other skin resurfacing treatments.
Q: What
does the procedure do?
A:
Lasers such as CoolTouch Nd: YAG and Smoothbeam Diode or
light sources such as Photorejuvenation Intense Pulsed Light
are used in a laser skin rejuvenation procedure. This
treatment revitalizes your skin from the inside out. Harsh
chemicals are not utilized here and recovery time is not
lengthy. This procedure gives one a younger-looking skin.
Q: How
does this procedure work?
A:
An innovative approach to achieve revitalized skin is being
used by the laser skin rejuvenation treatment. It merges a
cooling cryogen spray and laser which gives the most
favorable results with less inconvenience. The protective
cooling spray is applied to the skin which permits the laser
skin rejuvenation light to go through the upper layers of
the skin without causing any damage and then leads to the
stimulation of the cells deep below the surface which
produces natural collagen. Even after the treatment,
collagen and elastin fibers persistently multiply resulting
in improved results over the months ahead.
Q: Is the
procedure painful?
A:
There is only minimal discomfort with this procedure. On
areas that are especially sensitive, a topical anesthetic
cream may be used. No injections are necessary. This
treatment can be done around the eyes, cheeks, mouth and
chin.
Q: What
are the side effects of this treatment?
A:
At present, the laser skin rejuvenation lasers and light
sources are among the safest units on the market.
Q: How is
laser skin rejuvenation different from the other anti-aging
treatments?
A:
This treatment does not expose your skin to any harsh
chemicals or intense aftercare unlike the other skin
resurfacing treatments. The sensitive surface layers of the
skin are protected by this patented technology by letting
the laser light pass through a deeper level and leads to
stimulation of new collagen growth.
Q: Can
laser treatment be combined with other procedures?
A:
It is actually ideal to use laser skin rejuvenation as an
adjunctive treatment to microdermabrasion, BOTOX®, filler
agents, laser skin resurfacing, and Thermage non-surgical
facelift in order to achieve a revitalized look.
Q: How
long does a treatment take?
A:
This procedure is so quick and easy. It takes only a little
of your time, as short as 15 to 30 minutes. Side effects
are very rare and cosmetics can be reapplied right away so
you can go on with your normal daily activities.
Q: How
long will it take to heal?
A:
There is practically no down time associated with this
procedure, which is one of the most exceptional attributes
of the laser skin rejuvenation treatment. After treatment,
the area may look red for up to an hour; however, one can
immediately re-apply makeup after undergoing the treatment.
Since there is no wound created, no healing time is
required.
Q: How
many treatments are necessary and how long do they last?
A:
Based on clinical studies, in order to stimulate new
collagen growth, a number of treatments are necessary.
Regular touch-up treatments are also advised in order to
maintain the continued growth of new collagen.
