What is the Laser non-ablative collagen
remodeling and rejuvenation procedure?
The procedure is an advanced way of improving skin
complexion and appearance that requires only the
touch of a sophisticated treatment tip to your skin.
It is performed with an advanced Nd: YAG laser, and
requires no incisions or recovery time.
Is it safe?
The procedure is very safe.
How does
it work?
The procedure causes increases in temperature with
significant thermal reaction at the level of deep
dermal cells. These cells become activated and show
an elevated metabolism with subsequent enzymes as
well as growth factors activation. This will control
the recruitment and proliferation of new cells that
modulate the formation of new blood vessels and
collagen formation and remodeling.
What is
collagen?
Collagen is a building block that supports the
structure of the skin. Over time, collagen becomes
depleted or damaged by the sun or other
environmental factors. The results are visible signs
of aging such as loose skin and wrinkles.
Who is a candidate?
Both light and dark complexions may be treated.
Patient on oral or topical retinoid, with an
inflammatory skin disease or having any history of
photosensitivity are not candidate for the
procedure.
When
will I see results?
In most patients, results appear gradually in two to
six months, although some patients see an earlier
response.
How long will the effects of the procedure last?
Recently published studies show that improvements
continue for at least six months after a single
treatment session. Other studies show that thermal
collagen changes can last several years, depending
on the rate of the aging process.
How many
treatments will I need?
A single treatment has produced good results in a
significant number of patients. However, a number of
sessions may be needed. The doctor will assess the
number and frequency of treatments required to
achieve optimal results for your skin.
How long is the recovery time?
No downtime. Following the treatment, you can return
to work and resume all regular activities
immediately. |
