Laser Skin Rejuvenation

Description: Laser Skin Rejuvenation is a process destined to stimulate collagen growth in the lower layers of skin under the face. This treatment improves skin tone and can reduce or remove the appearance of facial redness or rosacea, facial veins, vascular legions, acne scarring and wrinkles. It is less invasive than Laser Skin Rejuvenation, which actually removes skin; this treatment only encourages growth of healthy skin.

The Procedure:
Laser Skin Rejuvenation consists of a low level laser that targets the naturally occurring collagen beneath the skin. The laser stimulates growth in that layer of collagen causing wrinkles to fill in and scars to heal. There is no downtime associated with this procedure. Patients are usually recommended a series of 3-5 treatments spaced 3-4 weeks apart from each other. Only a specialist can tell you the number of treatments you'll require and the results you can expect to achieve.

Time Required:
Treatments usually last between 15 -30 minutes and most patients require 3-5 treatments.

In/Out Patient:
Laser Skin Rejuvenation is an outpatient procedure.

Side Effects:
Occasionally, patients will experience mild burning or redness.

Risks:
Since Laser Skin Rejuvenation does not remove any skin, it is a virtually risk free procedure.

Duration of Results:
The duration of results vary based on the number of treatments received.

Recovery Time:
Laser Skin Rejuvenation requires no down time. Normal activity can be resumed immediately following the treatment.

Insurance:
Laser Skin Rejuvenation is a cosmetic procedure not covered by most insurance.

Level of Discomfort:
There is little or no pain associated with the procedure but patients may receive a topical anesthetic if they so desire.

Anesthesia:
Anesthetics are not usually required but a topical cream may be requested.
