As we age our skin becomes weathered and damaged by ultraviolet light exposure. The result is areas of blotchy pigmentation, large pores associated with a thickened leathery appearance of the skin, and loss of the youthful translucency. While previous methods of treatment have primarily been directed at removing the damaged outer layers of the skin, Laser Skin Rejuvenation provides treatment that penetrates deep beneath the surface of the skin.
 Laser Genesis is a unique non-ablative procedure that promotes healthy looking skin including stimulation of collagen, the reduction of diffuse redness, reduced pore size and improved skin tone and texture. The procedure utilizes the CoolGlide® Vantage Laser from CUTERA® and creates a gentle warming of the skin that patients often enjoy, and is truly a "no downtime" procedure.
C6 Rejuvenation also involves minimal
downtime and produces excellent results. The treatment is
performed using the MedLite™ C6 laser in the office setting
during 15 to 20 minutes sessions. A topical cream is applied
to provide anesthesia to the surface of the skin. If necessary,
patients can return to work or normal daily activities the
next day and are even able to wear makeup. Within one week
most patients demonstrate marked improvement and exhibit
newer, more beautiful skin.
A study conducted by Paul Friedman, MD and Roy Geronemus, MD (Laser & Skin Surgery Center of New York) used 3-D in-vivo optical skin imaging to objectively quantify the efficacy of multiple treatment sessions with the Medlite™ for acne scarring. The researchers also looked to determine improved efficacy after multiple treatment sessions and biomechanically characterize nonablative skin rejuvenation. It was found that in less than five treatment sessions patients experienced quantifiable improvement of surface topography, and in skin tone.
