Everyone experiences the impact of aging on skin tissue to varying degrees and at various ages. Not only does age come with wrinkles, but the loss of important proteins like elastin and collagen makes the skin not only look different, but the loss in elasticity and plumpness changes the texture as well. Luckily, continuing advance in laser technology makes rolling back the clock on your skin’s age both convenient and safe.
While the prospect of having a laser aimed at your face is unnerving for some, recent strides forward in laser technology through equipment like the SmartXide laser make laser cosmetic treatment safer than ever. New technology allow the SmartXide to provide the results of a CO2 laser with the reduced pain and downtime experienced with lesser ablative lasers, the perfect mix of both technologies.
The SmartXide utilizes a fractional system to treat a specific pattern of dots on the treatment area versus the entire surface of your skin. Each dot creates a small perforation in the tissue, which rapidly causes the skin to tighten up. As the area heals, collagen growth speeds up, helping fill in fine lines and wrinkles and producing a more even look to the skin. These treatments may also be beneficial for those with acne scars, sun damage, or areas of loose skin. Each treatment is individualized, meaning that each color and type of skin can be targeted uniquely for better results and less risk of side effects like skin discoloration.
Healing times with a skin rejuvenation treatment using a SmartXide laser are significantly less in comparison to other CO2 lasers due to its system of dots. Each dot of perforated skin leaves the tissue surrounding the treatment intact. This tissue attachment allows the skin to heal faster from the edges. Patients can expect to have a week of downtime versus two or more with other CO2 laser treatments. Even better, treatments can take as little as 30 minutes in our cosmetic surgery office, getting you moving on towards younger and smoother skin even faster.
