You are still active and you feel great. But, the effects of time, sun, wind and toxins in our air have taken their toll on the appearance of your skin. It's not as smooth as it was when you were younger.

You would like your friends and family to see you the way you feel inside. For many of us, this requires reversing the visible signs of aging, those years of fun in the sun.

In the past your options included chemical peels, dermabrasion or the use of temporary fillers.

Now there is another revolutionary procedure available. Laser skin resurfacing.

Question:
What is laser skin resurfacing?
Answer:
The CO2 laser is the ultimate technology for aesthetic skin resurfacing. Laser skin resurfacing is designed to remove superficial wrinkles around the eyes, lips, forehead and cheeks seen in aging skin. Facial scars and sun-damaged skin are also excellent candidates for this treatment.

Question:
Choosing laser skin surgery
Answer:
You will want to explain to your physician the level of skin improvement you hope to achieve. The doctor will then review your medical history and examine your skin type and pigmentation to determine if you are a good candidate for laser skin surgery. Don't forget to mention any history of viral infections, sensitivity to the sun, or prior skin treatments such as skin peels, dermabrasion or Accutane treatments within the past six months.

Together you can discuss your options, evaluate your expectations and determine the best treatment for you.

Question:
What kind of results can I expect?
Answer:
Fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes and mouth are removed, while the deeper frown lines and grooves are softened. Once the outer layer of skin has been removed, the new skin beneath reveals a softer, smoother, more youthful appearance. Many patients say our laser can erase up to ten years in a little more than an hour.

Question:
Benefits of laser resurfacing over chemical peels and dermabrasion:
Answer:

• The laser causes less scarring, bleeding and bruising.
• Laser surgery requires shorter recovery time than traditional treatments.
• A level of control can be achieved that is difficult with other treatments.
• Your physician can visually judge the effect of the treatment as it is performed.
• The treatment seems to be more predictable and safer.
