Wipe Away Aging Skin with Fractional Lasers

Friday, August 6th, 2010

What makes a person’s skin look older? Wrinkles, fine lines, brown discoloration, acne scars, and a sallow complexion are all contributing factors. Wouldn’t it be terrific if we could treat all of them with one single procedure? Well now we can, with the introduction of the latest generation of Fractional Resurfacing Lasers.

There are two basic types of fractional resurfacing lasers, nonablative and ablative. Non-ablative fractional lasers (Fraxel) have a relatively easy and short recovery (2-4 days), and can take 3 to 6 treatments to gently achieve the final result you seek over time. Ablative resurfacing is a bit more aggressive and has a longer recovery period (5-10 days), and in many cases can remove more skin damage in a single treatment than nonablative treatments.

As one of the world’s leading laser centers, SCP has 5 different fractional lasers, each of which does slightly different things. Your physician will help you decide which of these procedures is best for your skin and your lifestyle. One laser to remove all that sun-damage? Absolutely! Ask SkinCare Physicians how fractional laser skin resurfacing might fit into your overall skin treatment plan.

The Future is Here…New Lasers Eliminate Wrinkles and Scars!

Wednesday, December 16th, 2009

In order to get the most from your skin, it is important to address the texture and surface changes that come with time. Doctors and patients have, in the past, been frustrated as to the ability to predictably improve skin quality without the risk inherent in some previous generation lasers. Well that has finally changed! Over the past 3 to 4 years a new generation of lasers has evolved that dramatically changes the landscape of laser treatments for skin quality and texture. These are called “fractional lasers”, and are a quantum leap forward in terms of effectiveness and safety. The doctors at SkinCare Physicians can now smooth skin, erase wrinkles, eliminate brown spots, wipe away acne scars, and dramatically improve skin texture with these fractional lasers, all without the need for surgery.

As a leader in laser innovation, SkinCare Physicians has several fractional lasers we can use. For those patients that don’t have so many wrinkles or can’t afford the “down time”, we often use the Fraxel laser. If you have a little more work that needs to be done, one of the deeper lasers from Sciton or Lumenis might be the answer. The key is that we help you decide which lasers will work best, carefully taking into consideration your lifestyle, how much down time you can afford, and importantly your budget. So ask us to custom-create a plan that fits your skin. Like the thousands of patients we have treated with these lasers, you’ll be glad you did!
