These lasers are now the treatment of choice for a no down time. Skin resurfacing to treat fine wrinkles, stretch marks, pores, acne and acne scars. The laser emits an intense beam of light to heat the underlying levels of the skin (the dermal layer) without directly affecting the top layer of the skin (the epidermis). This will stimulate production of collagen, the matrix of the skin, and improve texture and fine lines. In acne, the laser helps clear bacteria, and improves the function of oil glands.

The treated area shows no sign after treatment, or it may be red for 1-2 days and needs to be protected from sun during healing. A sun block of 30 SPF of higher should be applied daily to the treated area to prevent the chance of increased pigmentation. We recommend a series of 3-4 treatments of 2-4 week intervals in order to obtain the desired result.

All skin types including patients with dark skin can be treated with this modality.
