Skin Rejuvenation

For youthful and healthy looking skin, three factors must be controlled: redness in the form of rosacea or pseudo-rosacea, spots caused by the sun and environmental stressors as well as wrinkles and loss of tonus caused by a weak elastic fibre, collagen and hyaluronic acid structure that is regressing.

How can all these problems be treated to recreate a youthful balance? The answer: using laser devices. Let’s clear up a few points. There are several types of lasers and each type is used for very specific purposes. First of all, a laser is a device that produces a light energy source. This light is immediately absorbed by a specific structure when the beam comes into contact with the skin’s surface. For example, the CO2 laser beam is absorbed by the water molecules in the same fashion as the diode laser beam is absorbed by the pigments. The molecules are destroyed upon contact with the beam. Another example is the Nd:YAG laser; its beam targets the blood vessels.

Fractional Laser Technology

CO2 laser treatment requires a considerable convalescence period, and a less invasive and easier approach was needed. Fractional laser technology was developed to meet this need.

This approach focuses on limiting treatment to a specific percentage of the face’s surface while leaving the rest of the face untouched. Moreover, treatment is much more extensive and stimulates the development of new collagen. Fine to moderate lines and minor losses of tonus are thus improved. All in all, skin texture is generally improved (pores, scars, tonus, etc.).

Eyelid Surgery with the UltraFine® Carbon Dioxide Laser

The same laser that rejuvenates your skin can also make your eyes look fresher and more youthful. Blepharoplasty, as the eyelift is technically known, removes excess skin from the upper eyelids and eliminates the bags under the eyes that make you look sad or tired.

Because the laser seals blood vessels when it touches them, there is less bleeding, swelling and bruising than with traditional scalpel techniques. Healing is faster and recovery speedier.
