Skin Resurfacing Laser Treatment

What is Skin Resurfacing?

As we age, wrinkles become more evident. Everybody knows that, but there are several factors that can speed up this wrinkling process. The largest cause of wrinkling is exposure to UV radiation from the sun. Other factors are air pollution or cigarette smoking. These factors usually begin to be noticeable around age 20 and worsen as we age. But what’s going on underneath the surface of the skin? Collagen is being damaged. When collagen is damaged the skin begins to look thinner and the visible signs of aging start to appear: facial lines, texture changes, and wrinkles.

Why it is needed:

Skin resurfacing with Whisper NG is designed to reduce the effects of aging and over-exposure to UV radiation. After relaxing and cleansing the patient, Dr. Abir Marcus begins applying a series of pulsed laser beams which most patients describe as a warm snap to the skin. After a few treatments the process will be complete and you will be astonished to see just how much younger you do actually look.

The Skin Resurfacing Laser Peel process:

This process is actually doing what it says, peeling the skin. While this may sound a touch frightening, it is in fact completely safe. Dr. Marcus uses state of the art technology, equipped with patented Extended Ablation Technology. The treatment itself involves removing the damaged upper layers of the epidermis in a safe, controlled method. This method of peeling away the outermost layer reveals the fresher underlying layers, resulting in reduced facial wrinkles and scars.

Results of a recent study show:

The majority of all patients exclaimed at the level of improvement made to their appearance.
Most clients commented about some initial redness from the peeling process, but after the normal healing process, there were very few complaints of any discomfort.
