WRINKLE REDUCTION AND ACNE SCAR IMPROVEMENT

WRINKLE REDUCTION AND ACNE SCAR IMPROVEMENT

We are using the newest fractional technology to significantly reduce the appearance of wrinkles and acne scarring. The Palomar 1540 fractional technology produces thousands of tiny but deep columns of treatmens in your skin, known as microthermal treatment zones. This is done with limited discomfort to the patient as the Palomar 1540 utilizes patented cooling. Just as important as the treated areas are the areas of skin that are left untouched. The fractional treatment allows the skin to heal much faster than if the entire area was treated at once, using the body's natural healing process to create new, healthy tissue. For a limited time we are offering a special promotion utilizing the fractional technology!

We are now offering skin tightening with minimal discomfort. Introducing the LUXIR laser that sends infrared light pulses deep into the dermis, where it creates a carefully controlled area of elevated temperature. This technology has been shown to trigger a biological response which leads to collagen remodeling in the deep dermis. Remodeled collagen can smooth out fine wrinkles and tighten sagging skin.

Also Known As
Blotchiness / Patchy Skin

Normal skin contains cells called melanocytes that produce the brown skin-coloring pigment melanin.  There are several conditions in which melanocytes are either abnormal or abnormally distributed.  A pale area of the skin is the result of fewer or less active melanocytes than usual, whereas a darker area (or area that tans more easily) indicates more numerous or more active melanocytes. 

Sometimes mistaken for a suntan, bronzing of the skin often develops starting at pressure points such as elbows, knuckles, and knees and spreading from there.  It is also seen in the creases of the feet and the palms of the hands.  The bronze color can range from light to dark (in fair skinned people) with the intensity often a function of the underlying cause. 

Hyperpigmentation is treated by performing Photorejuvenation with an Intense Pulsed Light.  The Alexandrite Laser may also be used.  Normally there are 5 – 7 treatments every 4 – 6 weeks.
