One of the most exciting new development in the field of Dermatology is the application of Fractional CO2 Laser Resurfacing for the treatment of wrinkles, lines, pigmentation, age spots, large pores, acne scars and general sun damage. CO2 laser resurfacing will give you a smoother, more vibrant and glowing skin. In conjunction with my proprietary chilling technology to reduce pain, the new CO2 laser is the gold standard in the industry for the treatment of wrinkles and pigmentation. The new generation of CO2 laser uses a new advanced technology where microscopic zones of skin are vaporized by the laser. Instead of a having a recovery time of 4 to 6 weeks, the new fractional CO2 laser has about 5 days downtime without the significant sloughing, crusting and oozing of the traditional CO2. The results are seen almost immediately as well as gradually as collagen continues to form weeks after the procedure is performed. The laser drills tiny microscopic holes throughout the skin. By doing so, it will stimulate collagen production and smooth out wrinkles, improve texture of the skin, even out skin color, lighten up brown spots and tighten up the skin. Each treatment usually takes about 30 to 45 minutes. Topical numbing in conjunction with my own proprietary chilling technology are used prior to the procedure for pain reduction and maximal comfort. Fractional CO2 requires only 1 or 2 treatments. It can also be used on the neck, chest and hands for removal of age spots and sun damag
