Carbon Dioxide (C02) Fractional Laser Resurfacing removes layers of skin tissue in a fractionated method (columns of skin are removed, leaving the skin surrounding each column intact to aid in healing).  It is the latest, most effective method for diminishing aging skin and improves the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, scars, dark spots, uneven skin tone, and more.

Skin Rejuvenation:

Results are accomplished through treatments from a fractional CO2 laser.  This is an ablative laser, requiring 4-7 days of healing. Most often, an ablative laser will yield benefits in a single treatment in comparison to multiple treatments of a non-ablative laser.

Consultation:

Analyzation of problematic symptoms of your skin will determine the personalized settings of the laser.  Customized laser settings regulate the amount of heat, percentage of skin affected by the laser light and the depth into the skin.  Acne scarring, trauma/surgical scars, stretch marks, sun damage, brown spots, pore size, texture, aging, loss of elastin and collagen will be accessed to determine customized settings and appropriate treatment.

Day of Treatment:

A prescription numbing cream is applied to the skin approximately 45 minutes prior to the laser treatment.  A mild cleanser and Aquaphor is given to the patient, along with aftercare instructions and verbal instructions of how to take care of the skin for the following 4-7 days.

Laser Treatment:

We treat from the hair line at the top of the forehead, from ear to ear, across the entire face, all around the eyes, (sides, below and above eye), nose, and down the neck to the collar bone.  Goggles are placed over the patients eyes and cool air is blown directly onto the skin increasing the patients comfort. The fractionated laser light comes into contact with the skin in columns leaving small areas unaffected, this promotes faster healing.

Aftercare:

Over the counter pain relievers every 4-6 hours as needed.  Ice, perferability frozen peas in small snack bags, to be applied to skin.  Vinegar solution, 1 tablespoon white vinegar to 1 quart of water, placed in the refrigerator, to be swiped over the skin using a cotton ball or cotton round.  Patients follow the written instructions on cleansing and applying aquaphor during the healing period.

*Optional Pre-Treatment with Thermo-lo:

The skin is deeply cleansed, at this time, and sanitized.  This pre-treatment may be added prior to the laser treatment using this ultra-sonic device.  Treating surface capillaries, milia, sebaceous hyperplasia, cherry angiminos and pre-treatment for deep dark brown spots, that the laser does not treat.  Adding the thermo-lo treatment allows the patient to heal from both treatments simultaneously.

*Optional – PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma):

Blood is drawn for the patients arm and spun in a centrifuge where the red blood cells are separated from the blood plasma.  The laser treatment is performed then plasma is then applied to the skin immediately following. Plasma contains growth factors that create anti-aging benefits and promote healing.

*Optional – Radio Wave Frequency:

A heightened benefit through radio wave frequency may be added prior to the laser treatment, or after healing.  Promotes additional skin tightening benefits. This treatment is often referred to as the “lunch hour treatment” since there is no downtime or healing required.
