AM I A CANDIDATE FOR FACIAL SKIN TREATMENT?

WHAT IS PHOTO DAMAGE?
The most obvious signs are:
  • Coarsening of skin texture
  • Wrinkling
  • Irregular pigmentation
  • Enlarged pores and
  • Enlarged blood vessels
DO LASERS WORK ON ALL SKIN TYPES?
Today’s advanced lasers are capable of treating a wind variety of skin types.

IS THE TREATMENT PAINFUL?
In most cases no anesthesia is necessary. There is some minor discomfort that can be alleviated by cooling with a cold air system. (Smart-cool system)

HOW MANY TREATMENTS ARE REQUIRED?
Typically several treatments are required for full face treatment. The average treatment takes about 20 minutes. Results may become apparent after the first few treatments.

HOW DOES CYNOSURE LASER TREATMENT DIFFER FROM CO2 LASERS, CHEMICAL PEELS AND DERMABRASION?
Unlike co2 lasers, dermabrasion or deep chemical peels that remove the outer skin and require significant healing time, the laser gently penetrates the skin without damaging it and destroys the blood vessels and brown pigments that are the cause of the problem. It also builds collagen to tighten the skin and minimizes large pores.

WHAT WILL I LOOK LIKE AFTER SURGERY?
Results will vary but you should expect your skin to appear reddened. You can expect to return to your normal activities immediately with minimal precautions such as sunscreen.
