Sun exposure, squinting, and smiling. They all contribute
to wrinkles that appear on your face. You may have noticed them
around your eyes and mouth. And you may have realized how they
alter your appearance, making you look tired, sad or older. Fine
skin wrinkles are a fact of life. And now, so is treating them,
right in your doctor's office, with a CO2 laser. Before
and after photos.
Physicians around the world are
using the NovaPulse(TM) laser and
technique called "cosmetic skin resurfacing" to reduce
wrinkles without scalpels or stitches. Instead, the doctor guides
a laser beam over the wrinkled skin. This removes the outer
layers, and the healing process results in a firmer, smoother
appearance.
Patients are treated
with the NovaPulse(TM) laser
right in the doctor's office, often under local anesthetic, and they may
return to work immediately or in the next few days. The treated
area will be red for sometime after treatment and the doctor will
provide directions on how to care for the area as it heals. Steps
may include application of ointment, avoidance of sunlight and other
appropriate measures. Additional follow-up visits allow the doctor
to monitor progress. A reduction in wrinkles is usually
immediately noticeable.
Your
doctor may use the C02 laser for the treatment of a variety of other
skin conditions including the removal of moles and blemishes. In each
case, your doctor will determine whether laser treatment is appropriate
for you. Since results can vary depending on your age, skin type and
condition, your doctor will also discuss how much improvement you might
expect.
The
presence of laser technology in this office is your assurance that your
doctor is providing the most advanced care available.
