Laser Skin Resurfacing
As our life goes on, the effects of sun damage and environmental pollutants take their toll on our skin, creating lines, wrinkles, color, and texture irregularities. Laser Skin Resurfacing can be very successful at eliminating or reducing these conditions. Even though several different types of lasers are used to perform peels, the Sciton Joule is universally regarded as the most effective and safest laser available.
Sciton Joule Erbium Laser is a newer and more technologically advanced choice in laser skin resurfacing. Expect a significant improvement in your skin quality. Sciton Joule Erbium laser peel offers the benefits of less pain during the procedure along with significantly faster healing time than other resurfacing lasers.
The erbium laser is a gentler alternative to CO2 (carbon dioxide) laser skin resurfacing. While the CO2 laser can effectively remove deeper layers of damaged skin, the erbium laser provides excellent results and a shorter recovery time. Revitta offers an even less invasive alternative – MicroLaserPeel. We will help you to choose the best treatment option during your private consultation.
Benefits of Sciton Joule Erbium Laser Resurfacing
Erbium laser resurfacing removes or noticeably decreases wrinkles and improves the overall color and texture of the face, neck, and hands. It is often used to treat the following conditions:
- Sun and age spots
- Fine wrinkles
- Color irregularities
- Sun damage
- Acne scarring
During treatment, the laser light is taken by skin cells. This in turn causes the instantaneous vaporization of the cells.
Sciton Laser safely removes a layer of skin to a depth determined by your physician. The depth of treatment will depend on your skin condition, desired outcome, and expectation for downtime. A sophisticated computerized control system allows treating the skin only as deeply as needed. Because Sciton Joule Laser can affect tissue with micron precision, we can treat your skin with the exact energy amount required – no more, no less. Laser treatment stimulates new collagen growth, which improves the skin’s resilience and thickness. The skin is re-growed with new, healthy cells, which will give your skin a younger, rejuvenated appearance.
After the layer of damaged skin is removed, new skin quickly re-grows in its place.
Patients treated with an erbium laser feel only mild discomfort during treatment and usually require only a topical anesthetic. You will also be happy with healing within only a matter of days to a few weeks instead of months.
Potential risks and complications
Sciton laser has substantially reduced many of the risks associated with older laser procedures. But infection, temporary or permanent changes in pigmentation, even scarring, or other unsatisfactory results can occur. Fortunately, these complications are rare. As with any medical procedure, we will thoroughly discuss any questions or concerns you may have.
Recovering
Depending on your specific treatment, we will provide you with detailed skin care instructions. You must follow our recommendations to avoid any side effects and ensure a positive result. After you have healed, you will still need to protect your rejuvenated skin. In the early weeks and months after treatment, your skin will remain very susceptible to sun damage. It is necessary to avoid prolonged exposure to the sun and use sunscreens recommended by our skincare professional.
