Designed to rejuvenate the surface of the skin, laser skin resurfacing treatments use a distinctly different tactic than facelift procedures. While a facelift is best used to minimize the appearance of deep facial creases and folds, laser skin resurfacing can better address fine facial wrinkles. Since laser skin resurfacing is a non-surgical procedure, the recovery from these treatments can be both faster and easier.
At our practice, Dr. John Hilinski uses the Lumenis® UltraPulse® Encore™ laser, which can revitalize the skin with two different configurations: ActiveFX™ and DeepFX™. This versatility allows Dr. Hilinski to customize each laser skin resurfacing treatment to target a wide range of common facial skin concerns, including:
- Wrinkles
- Acne scars
- Cosmetic lesions
- Precancerous lesions
- Brown spots
- Sun damage
- Pigment inconsistencies
- Uneven texture
The UltraPulse® laser can also simulate the growth of younger, healthy skin that can cause a tightening effect. As the collagen fibers begin to regenerate, patients often notice a “mini-lift” to the face.
