Laser Rejuvenation
Laser rejuvenation is highly effective for improving the appearance of aging skin. It has become one of the most popular cosmetic procedures.
Laser rejuvenation uses newer “non-ablative” lasers (“ablative” lasers used for skin resurfacing treat the top layer of the skin (“epidermis”) while non-ablative treat the deeper layers (dermis) and leave the top layer intact.) These “non-ablative” lasers trigger the growth of collagen in the dermis. This invigorated skin appears more healthy and youthful with an improved glow and texture.
Laser rejuvenation can reduce the signs of aging and sun damage, including fine wrinkles, superficial acne scars, enlarged pores, freckles and uneven pigmentation, as well as the redness and dilated capillaries (telangiectasias) associated with rosacea.
Laser rejuvenation is performed safely in the doctor’s office and requires almost no recovery time (no "downtime"). It is an effective alternative to more intensive procedures, such as facelifts or deep chemical peels.
Because a beam of laser light is so focused, Dr Paronish can be very precise in treating affected skin while leaving surrounding skin intact.
During laser rejuvenation, the entire face is treated in a 30 to 90-minute procedure.
You should notice improvement after the first treatment. For optimal results, the treatment is usually repeated about every four weeks for a total of 4–6 treatments. After the sixth treatment, fine wrinkles, darkened spots, and even superficial scars are noticeably improved.
Laser treatment doesn’t carry many side effects or risks, but the procedure does require a short healing time afterward.
Possible side effects from laser skin rejuvenation include swelling, which goes away in a few days, and residual pinkness that fades within four to six weeks. Wear sun protection and avoid wearing makeup until your skin heals completely.
At Evolution we use the Palomar 1540 Laser for rejuvenation with great success! Call 814-948-5444 to schedule your consultation.
