Laser Treatment - Laser Treatment To Have Flawless Skin

Posted: Aug 15, 2009 |Comments: 0 | Views: 104 |

Laser treatments are all the rage these days and they can help you achieve flawless skin. Here's a review of a laser treatment called Pixel Skin Resurfacing:

Dr Z first examines Carol’s face to assess her skin condition. Noting that she has some skin pigmentation and very light scars, he says that he will give her a mild laser treatment suitable for her skin type. She is then taken to a room where a numbing cream is applied and left on for 20 minutes to minimise discomfort during the treatment process. 

After cleansing the numbing cream off Carol’s face, Dr Z starts his laser treatment, slowly going over each section of her face with the laser. There is a spark when the laser beam hits the face and a slight burning smell. A fan is directed to cool as well as blow the smell away from Carol. There is not much pain except for some heat generated by the laser beam.

Pixel skin resurfacing aims to improve skin texture and tone, smoothen wrinkles and diminish pigmentation, all without much pain and very little downtime. This laser treatment is based on the principle of micro-thermal treatment zones. The laser pulses treats small zones of the skin, leaving surrounding tissues untouched and intact, so these large unaffected areas act as a reservoir for more effective and rapid tissue healing and collagen production. “The skin is a living organ and generates new skin cells every two to three weeks. If you don’t clean and resurface with lasers or microdermabrasion, the old cells on top will make the skin look dull. Just like a window which will look murky if you don’t clean regularly,” explains Dr Z on how laser treatments work. Pretty interesting analogy!

Iced compresses are placed on Carol’s face after the treatment to soothe the skin. She is also given sunblock to apply on her face.  Dr Z tells her that there will be some redness and her pigmented spots may turn dark and peel off. After about three days, Carol should expect to see a smoother complexion with smaller pores and a nice glow.

According to Carol, her skin felt sore and raw on the day itself when she cleansed her face. It felt better the next day and started to peel. The dots on her face where the laser beams penetrated also became more obvious. After three days, the little brown dots fell off and Carol's face looks radiant and flawless. Her pores look diminished and even her pigmentation looks lighter!

    The differences between Bio-Identical Hormone Therapy and the more traditional Synthetic Hormone Therapy. Sermorelin (Bio-Identical) is designed to stimulate the pituitary gland's hormone growth hormone production. Once your body produces more human growth hormone, Sermorelin will also stimulate your liver's IGF-1 (insulin growth factor). Due to higher levels of IGF-1 will result in an increase in new cell growth and metabolism.

    Ulthera is the first aesthetics device to combine ultrasound imaging with focused ultrasound energy for non-invasive skin lifting. The ultrasound enables visualization of tissue beneath the skin’s surface and Ulthera is the first and only non-surgical procedure to be able to focus energy at prescribed levels. This enables significant lifting of skin tissue while leaving the top layers including the epidermis completely unaffected.
