BBL Patient Pre and Post Treatment Instructions
Erbium Laser (Contour by Sciton) – Ablative laser which removes the surface of the skin creating a minor wound over the surface treated. The laser is often used with topical and/or local injected anesthetic for a block, short recovery determined mostly by aggressiveness of treatment depth but patient related factors may also contribute.
Treatments Offered:
- Profractional Skin Remodeling – A fractionated laser which ablates a fraction of the surface but works deep in the skin to stimulate collagen production, reduces lines/deeper wrinkles, scars and many types of skin discoloration. Great for sagging eyelids to postpone need for surgery. Significant improvement in scars and even contracted burns. Short recovery time but amazing results! To visualize, think of aerating your lawn!
- Laser Resurfacing – An aggressive laser treatment for severe skin texture issues and damage from inherited traits, age, sun, smoking. The advances of the Sciton erbium laser allow significant reduction in resolving redness as compared to CO2 devices. Healing time of 6-14 days, swelling and redness improve daily over days to weeks. This process reveals fresh, new skin for a more youthful appearance.
- Laser Peel – Precise ablation of a portion of epidermis at controlled depths from 10-70 microns, smoother texture and color, softens fine lines, all with less down time than resurfacing. Wound will be red and dry requiring occlusive ointments for usually 3-5 days, some swelling in first few days; peeling/flaking occurs as healing takes place.
- Arctic Mini Peel – Ablates the surface of skin only, requires several applications to achieve similar results as a Laser Peel but only about a day or two of minimal recovery and less redness or flaking.
- Spot Removal – Destroys moles, protruding lesions like so skin tags or warts etc. If there is ANY concern for skin cancer, spots can be biopsied ( I am a General Surgeon).
- Moxi – Comfortably delivers non-ablative laser energy to revitalize your skin by correcting the initial signs of sun damage and aging, no matter the season or your skin type. You’ll love the fact that this lunchtime procedure can fit into your active lifestyle any time of year.
