Nothing is quite as beautiful as soft, healthy-looking skin.
However, as we age, the effects of the sun, wind, time and hormones begin
to take their toll. Fine lines begin to form around the lips and eyes. As
the collagen that supports the skin wears out, deeper lines and grooves
form in our brow, next to the nose and down to the corners of our mouths.
Surface irregularities such as pigment discolorations and acne scarring
may also occur.
Advances in treatment options have continued to improve, from medical micro-dermabrasion
and chemical peels to C02 and Erbium laser skin resurfacing. With dermabrasion, layers of skin are actually sanded away, and in chemical peels, layers of skin are burned away with an acid solution. C02 and Erbium laser skin resurfacing have given the surgeon more control and made skin resurfacing safer and more predictable. However, these lasers still
exfoliate the protective outer layer of skin, which requires a period of
recovery, yet they remain the best treatment modalities for certain
conditions.
CoolTouchIITM facial rejuvenation
CoolTouchIITM facial rejuvenation was designed to combat the effects of aging
In a softer, gentler way. It uses a revolutionary process that delivers
the laser energy through your skin's surface, to gently stimulate the
production of collagen while protecting the outer layer of your skin. The
new Collagen softens the appearance of aging skin. These precise
treatments are made possible by an advanced, computer controlled CoolTouchIITM handpiece which protects your outer skin and sensitive nerve endings with
a unique cooling spray delivered just before the laser energy. The new state of the
art CoolTouchIITM is an improved version of the original. By using a larger spot size,
the laser is able to deliver deeper penetration into the dermis of the skin, where
collagen, elastin and veticulin are synthesized. In addition, there is a more uniform
distribution of the laser energy into the dermis. Both of these unique properties
translate into more effective wrinkle reduction, acne scar improvement and overall
dermal toning. Not only have we seen dramatic results in facial rejuvenation, but
but treatments on the neck, chest, hands and feet have been equally impressive.
Stretch marks and scars on ALL areas of the body can be treated with the CoolTouchIITM.
Who are the best candidates for CoolTouchIITM facial rejuvenation?
Anyone wishing to reduce or delay the signs of aging, postpone more
aggressive treatments or prolong the results of previous treatments can
benefit from CoolTouchIITM facial rejuvenation. Even patients with
pigmentation that precludes the use of some lasers, or with hypertrophic
and/or depressed acne scars will benefit from our CoolTouchIITM facial
rejuvenation treatments.
What are the benefits of CoolTouchIITM facial rejuvenation?
CoolTouchIITM treatments are safe and effective and work on all pigmentation
and skin types.
CoolTouchIITM is a non-invasive procedure performed on an outpatient basis.
Treatments with CoolTouchIITM rarely produce injury to surface tissues. CoolTouchIITM softens the appearance of depressed and hypertrophic scars.
With CoolTouchIITM skin rejuvenation there is no downtime.
How many treatments will I need?
Every patient is different. Many see results after the second or third
treatment. Treatments are normally spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart in the
beginning, then 8 to 12 weeks in a maintenance program. Your maintenance
program will last as long as you would like to retard the effects of aging
or the need for a more aggressive treatment such as laser resurfacing or a
facelift.
What will my recovery be like?
CoolTouchIITM facial rejuvenation is so gentle that there is no interruption
to your normal life.
During your series of in-office treatments, you will see an ongoing
improvement in how your skin looks and feels. No tissue is removed. There
is no oozing or crusting as associated with laser treatments, chemical
peels and dermabrasion. Bandages are not required.
You can watch as your skin gradually rebuilds from the inside and restores
a more youthful appearance to your face. Over a few months, our CoolTouchIITM facial rejuvenation treatments can restore what nature has diminished.
Are CoolTouch facial rejuvenation treatments for you?
I will review your medical history, age, skin type and
pigmentation, consider your desired results, and determine the best course
of treatment for you. Results will vary from patient to patient depending
on age, skin type, condition and the number of treatments.
