What Causes Wrinkles?
Wrinkles are caused by the loss of
collagen beneath the skin surface. Collagen is a basic
building block of the skin and provides the foundation
that supports your skin's structure. Overall, exposure
to ultraviolet (referred to as UVA or UVB) radiation
from sunlight accounts for about 90% of the symptoms
of premature skin aging, and most of these effects occur
by age 20. Collagen is also damaged by other factors,
including: the natural aging process, cigarette smoking,
and air pollution. When this happens, the skin appears
thinner and becomes less elastic, resulting in facial
lines, wrinkles, texture changes, and visible signs
of aging.
What is Laser Wrinkle Reduction?
Non-Invasive Laser Wrinkle Reduction
is a revolutionary treatment that softens fine lines
and wrinkles on the face, neck and hands, and improves
the appearance of acne scars and stretch marks. There
is no recovery period associated with the treatment
because the laser bypasses the epidermis. Instead, the
laser targets the dermal layer beneath the skin's surface
where it stimulates collagen production, thickens the
dermis and raises depressed areas.
How Does Laser Wrinkle Reduction Work?
During a treatment, laser energy is
applied in a series of gentle pulses. Without damaging
the surface, the laser energy is absorbed by the dermal
layer of skin tissue where it triggers a repair mechanism
and begins to rebuild and replenish its own natural
collagen. Results are achieved from the inside out!
Skin will begin to look younger and softer as collagen
is replenished beneath the surface.
What Improvement Will I See After
Treatment?
Patients have a high degree of satisfaction
with their results. Many describe how wrinkles around
the eyes and mouth have dramatically decreased. Improvement
is achieved with a series of treatments resulting in
collagen enhancement. During your consultation, you
will be advised as to the number of treatments recommend
to achieve your desired results.
What is the Treatment Like?
Laser Wrinkle Reduction treatments
are so quick and easy, you can be treated on your lunch
hour. Clients typically experience minimal discomfort
and see a blush in the treated area for an hour or so
following the treatment. Best of all, there is no downtime.
You can apply make-up immediately after the treatment
and resume regular activities.
How Safe is Laser Wrinkle Reduction?
Unlike many laser treatments, Laser
Wrinkle Reduction is ideal for all skin tones, making
it one of the few options available for individuals
with darker skin types. For more detailed information
