It Offers Fast Results
Many face lifts require a lot of down time for healing. This procedure takes about fifteen minutes to an hour, depending on how much area is being treated. It is a simple procedure that does not require being put under. Local anesthesia is used to make the procedure as smooth and pain free as possible. Wrinkles take a long time to develop from aging, toxins and environmental stress. Wrinkles, acne scars and other scars or burns that you may have had for years can all be improved with this treatment very quickly.
How it Works
The laser works on the dermis layer by stimulating collagen growth and fibril tightening. Collagen is the protein in your skin that keeps it looking healthy and young. After a few days, your top skin layer will peel off with the scars and wrinkles. Tiny holes are made in the skin from the lasers as the natural collagen is stimulated to create more of it. This is not a harmful or invasive process and doesn’t damage the epidermis. The holes are only about as wide as a human hair and applied in a grid pattern, which is not damaging to the skin. This is a low-risk treatment and safe to use on the delicate skin around the eyes and mouth. A numbing cream is usually applied, along with an anti-anxiety medication. After the area is numbed, local anesthesia is administered.
This is a common treatment for the face but sometimes is done for the neck, chest, arms and hands where acne scarring or wrinkles are most common. This is also used to reduce stretch marks that can be caused by losing weight or the fast building of muscle. This procedure is used by both men and women and has won many awards. When it comes to cosmetic surgery, it is the discovery of the decade because it requires just one treatment and has such little prep requirements or side effects. You will see the full results after a week or less, and it is permanent if you take care of your skin. You can expect redness and swelling for about two days after your procedure. Depending on how much area you are having treated, it will generally cost anywhere from $500 to $4,000. Of course, consult with your physician to determine what is best for your personal skincare needs.
