Ablative laser treatment is the removal or evaporation of the outer layer of skin in a very organized fashion causing no damage to the remaining deeper tissues that regenerate and remodel into healthy, beautiful smooth skin. Using laser energy, physicians are able to reach unimaginable deeper layers of cells stimulating tissue contraction and new collagen formation.
Likewise, old disorganized collagen is replaced with normal collagen. This organizing event is called remodeling, a process that will continue for up to 12 months, giving the patient a progressive natural younger look. There are two ways of removing or evaporating superficial skin tissue. One is full field ablation and the other is ProFractional or partial ablation.
MicroLaserPeel (MLP) Ablation removes a very thin superficial layer of skin eliminating damaged cells that can give skin a tired, aged look. As the skin heals, fresh cells grow and resurface the treated area to improve texture, tone and color evenness to provide a more youthful appearance. MicroLaserPeel treatments,also known as "the weekend peel," can be applied to the face, neck, chest and hands with great results and minimal downtime.
ProFractional Ablation is the partial removal of skin surface that causes a fast recovery due to the rapid healing provided by non-ablated areas. This allows the physician to reach even deeper layers of skin without causing significant trauma. This technique efficiently treats fine lines, wrinkles, scars and pigmented lesions. Frequently, profractional laser is used in combination with other laser modalities such as MicroLaserPeel (light full field ablation) and BBL (non-ablative laser) to further enhance the final cosmetic result.
Full Field Ablation removes the outer layers of skin to cause deeper and healthier layers of the dermis to become the new surface. Sciton lasers provide a full field skin resurfacing treatment that employs a unique dual-mode erbium laser beam for independent control over the depth of ablation and coagulation for skin tightening with micron precision. This enables the physician with increased control over surgical outcomes. Full ablative skin resurfacing successfully treats wrinkles, scars, a tired look, lines around the mouth and eyes, pigmented lesions and poor skin tone/texture. In other words, it successfully rejuvenates! Our patients appreciate this approach before considering invasive lifting procedures that often result in a non-natural appearance.
Non-Ablative, non-invasive laser rejuvenation commonly called "photo-facial" involves the use of light energy to remove age spots, sun spots, fine wrinkles and a tired look.
Many times, our patients want to remove age spots only, but by virtue of the use of this technology, there is an overall rejuvenation with minimal downtime.
Sciton BBL or BroadBand Light is a light energy technology used to rejuvenate the face and treat acne, scars, pigmented and vascular lesions in a non-invasive fashion. This technology also has a rejuvenation effect at the molecular level which is documented by the study from Stanford University in 2012. Because of this effect or the "Forever Young BBL™" effect, Medilaser, Cosmetic Surgery and Vein Center is proud to be able to offer rejuvenation technology at a molecular level. Furthermore, the strength of BBL is far superior and more powerful than the commonly used technology called IPL (Intense Pulsed Light.) Thus, if BBL is used consistently in time, patients can look natural and remarkably younger as time goes on.
Skin Tyte is an ablative, non-invasive technique that utilizes infrared energy to deeply heat soft tissue while protecting the skin surface with sapphire contact cooling. Targeted subcutaneous heating causes soft tissue coagulation and collagen contraction. This process initiates the body's natural healing process, resulting in a firmer more youthful skin appearance. The full effect of skin firming treatments can be seen over several subsequent months. In order to increase safety, Medilaser, Cosmetic Surgery and Vein Center uses additional state of the art infrared technology to monitor target surfaces. This enables Skin Tyte to be manipulated to increase relevant heat to higher levels in the subcutaneous space. Since there is no downtime, patients may resume their regular activities immediately following treatment. Skin Tyte offers fast, safe and effective treatments of the face including jowls and around the eyes, neck, hands and abdomen tailored for all skin types without complications.
Ablative Sciton technology is considered by many experts and scholars the best laser device to rejuvenate the skin. It pars the excellent track record of CO2 lasers without exposing patients to their potential complications. In other words, Sciton provides efficacy of CO2 lasers and the safety of erbium lasers in one unit. Likewise, non-ablative Sciton technology is widely recognized by professionals due to it’s unique ability to max out the effects of intense pulse light, using wide broad light engineering or BBL.
Sciton is considered by many experts and scholars as the best in the market and provides the highest quality non-invasive and minimally invasive skin laser treatments.
