WHO IS A CANDIDATE?

If you have unwanted facial lines or wrinkles.
If you have acne or surgical scars.
If you have brown spots and/or sun damage on the chest and hands.

INTENDED RESULT

To remove lines on the face, superficial acne scars and irregular pigmentation. Lines around
the mouth, eyes and forehead can also be treated.
To rejuvenate the skin and bring back a more youthful appearance.

PROCEDURE DESCRIPTION

This surgery can be done under local anesthesia.
The skin is treated with a cream called lido/tetra/prilo demi-gel to numb the area.
An intense beam of light vaporizes thin controlled layers of skin.
In order to create the optimal outcome, the surgeon can fine tune and individualize treatment
to address each area of the face.

RECUPERATION AND HEALING

The Erbium laser removes a thin layer of tissue and causes less heat, or thermal damage than
CO2 lasers. This allows for a much speedier recovery.
The patient can return to work wearing make-up in approximately one week and the skin
will remain pink for several weeks.

OTHER OPTIONS

Depending on the type and severity of the lines, botox and/or collagen and fat injections in
addition to your laser surgery may be required to give you the optimal result.

INSURANCE GUIDELINES
