Fractional Ablative Co2 Laser

Restore and Rejuvenate Your Skin Through Fractional Co2 Laser Treatment.

Over the years signs of aging appear as a result of exposure to the sun (photoaging) and the effects of gravity and natural aging. The texture, tone and pigmentation of your skin can be affected, often resulting in unwanted wrinkles and fine lines, sunspots and larger pores. This look of premature aging can negatively impact how we feel about our appearance and how we are perceived by others. The good news is that new advancements in laser technology provide a means of rejuvenating and restoring your skin to a more youthful, smoother look. The Cynosure Affirm SmartSkin laser through its ablative fractional Co2 resurfacing technology provides optimal treatment outcomes while minimizing your recovery time.

The body’s natural healing process then rebuilds the tissue, with even texture and fewer wrinkles.

How long will the results last? The entire face can be treated in as little as 15-30 minutes, with results lasting years, with proper skin care and protection. It is recommended that you stay out of the sun as much as possible.  Always wear UV sunblock with at least a 30 SPF rating to reduce further ultraviolet light aging effects of the sun.
