Fraxel repair^®

The Fraxel re:pair® laser is now the gold standard in laser resurfacing. The healing is much faster so that you can have makeup on in 5-6 days and you will be back in your social network quickly. You can treat at any age. Start early to prevent lines and wrinkles in your 30's to 40's. Those of us aged 50's to 80's can all use some improvement. You can treat a portion of the face or the whole face and neck.

Fraxel restore^® Dual

This “fractional” treatment targets between 20% - 25% of the skin at a time, thus facilitating a faster healing time. The laser produces thousands of tiny, deep columns into the skin, eliminating old epidermal pigmented cells. The body’s own natural healing process creates new, healthy tissue to replace skin imperfections. Helps in eliminating sun damage, softens fine lines and improves texture to the skin. Depending on your condition, we will recommend an effective treatment regimen, from 3 – 5 sessions. Post treatment you will experience mild to moderate swelling, redness and a “sunburnt” feeling. Your skin will exfoliate as new skin replaces dead skin tissue. The use of a neutral moisturizer will help with the dry feeling.

Thermage^® Skin Tightening

Thermage® is the only non-invasive treatment that delivers tighter skin, renewed facial contours and healthier collagen. The Thermage® procedure utilizes a patented radiofrequency (RF) technology called ThermaCool™. It has been clinically proven to tighten and gently lift skin to smooth out wrinkles and renew facial contours. The incision-free procedure is fast and easy, and requires no downtime from normal activities. Unlike lasers, Thermage® can be performed on patients of all skin types. It works by uniformly heating a large volume of collagen in the deeper layers of the skin and its underlying tissue. This deep uniform heating action causes deep structures in your skin to immediately tighten. Over time, new and remodelled collagen is produced to further tighten skin, resulting in healthier, smoother skin and a more youthful appearance. Results appear gradually, over a 2 – 6 month period, although patients have reported seeing an earlier response.

CO₂ Resurfacing

If you desire a long-lasting, comprehensive approach, rather than treating wrinkles and spots individually or gradually over time, you may want to consider laser skin resurfacing. C0₂ resurfacing can actually eliminate evidence of sun damage such as wrinkles and discolouration, and it can significantly improve depressions in the skin, such as acne scarring.

With facial resurfacing, a high-energy beam of C0₂ light is used to vaporize lines, wrinkles, scars, dark spots and other irregularities, layer by layer. This process also stimulates the formation over time of new, underlying collagen to provide better elasticity and support for the skin. For moderate to deep resurfacing, your skin will go through an initial healing period which includes weeping and crusting that typically lasts 7 – 10 days. At this point, most patients return to normal activities and makeup may be applied. Your fresh, new skin will be reddish pink, a good sign that you’re healing and that blood is nourishing the growth of new skin cells. The redness gradually fades within 4 – 12 weeks depending on skin type and depth of laser treatment. Laser resurfacing can restore your skin to a healthy state, similar to that of skin that has not experienced sun damage or scarring. With proper sun protection, results can persist for more than 5 years.
