What
is Laser Skin rejuvenation?
Over the years our skin begins to show signs of the natural aging process.
Overexposure to the sun, alcohol use, smoking, smiling and laughing are
all well known to accelerate the development of wrinkles, lines and dark
aging spots. These wrinkles are most prominently seen on the upper lip,
around the eyes ("crows feet"), and superficially on the cheeks
and forehead. Laser Skin rejuvenation is a procedure specially designed
to dramatically soften, reduce, and very often erase the superficial and
moderately deep lines, wrinkles, aging spots and acne scars. As an added
benefit, skin tightening usually occurs, providing a nonsurgical mini-facelift,
pores are smaller, and the new skin is rich in collagen, rejuvenating
the face and literally making the patient look years younger.

How
does Laser Skin rejuvenation work?
Unlike dermabrasion and chemical peels, the CO2 skin
rejuvenation laser uses a very high-energy beam of light to vaporize or "erase"
wrinkles, lines, scars,
brown spots and other skin defects. Laser light penetrates to a very precise,
computer-controlled depth, making the procedure safe, predictable and essentially
bloodless. The precision of the laser allows Dr. Conn to determine exactly
how much tissue and specific areas to treat during the procedure. Laser Skin
rejuvenation is gentler and more exacting than chemical peels and dermabrasion.

What is the best Laser Skin
Rejuvenation treatment?
There is a vast array of treatment options for the consumer to navigate. It
is virtually impossible for the average person to know which lasers work and
which do not. Dr. Conn has been in the forefront of the developmentof laser
technology and has traveled the world researching lasers.

Dr. Conn currently uses two laser
systems for the purposes of Laser Skin Rejuvenation:
Newest revolutionary technology, FRAXEL re:pair laser
As a scientific advisor for the development of the
Fraxel Laser systems, Dr. Conn was among the first 10 doctors in the world
to offer this new revolutionary technology. This vast experience translates
into the safest and most effective treatment for his patients. Never before
has there been such an effective, non-surgical, non-invasive, one time only
treatment.
- Transforms dull, lifeless, aged, and damaged skin
to radiant, clear, youthful skin.
- Removes 10 to 15 years from your appearance with
one procedure.
- Especially beneficial for deep wrinkles, loose
skin, sun induced red and brown pigment, and
acne scars.
Combining this technology with the tried and true
Laser Cosmetic Eyelid Surgery and Quick Fixes
produces results that are truly outstanding. |

FRAXEL re:store laser
Dr. Conn was also one of the first doctors in the world
to offer this technology to his patients, and has been successfully using it
since 2004. This first generation Fraxel laser is used to:
-
Treat patients with mild to moderate
sun damage, discoloration, brown spots, lines and wrinkles of the face,
neck, chest, hands and arms.
-
Effective on most skin types and
colors
-
Fraxel re:store laser treatments are
performed as an office procedure over four treatment sessions.
-
Patients heal in approximately two
hours with some residual redness and swelling which is easily covered
with makeup.

How long will it take a laser skin
treatment to heal?
This depends upon the laser procedure, or combinations of procedures, that a
patient
undergoes. For example, the original Fraxel re:store procedure takes only a
few hours. The
residual redness and swelling can usually be covered with make-up the next
day. The Fraxel re:pair laser procedure, using the CO2 laser as an energy source, takes 48
hours to heal. Patients
typically can apply make-up three day days postoperatively. When we perform
eyelid surgery
using the CO2 laser instead of a scalpel, there is minimal to no bruising.
Patients can use a
telephone and computer the next day. The swelling takes a few days to
diminish.
Some people have said you need to stay
out of the sun after laser treatments. Is this true?
In sunny Southern California it is impossible to stay out of the sun. We
find that our patients
are so pleased with the results that they want to take care of their skin by
wearing sunscreen,
sunglasses, and broad-rimmed hats.
Your laser treatment will have literally
turned back the hands of time, rejuvenating your skin
through the aid of the skin’s natural healing process. This stimulates the
collagen and elastin
production that we typically see in healthy adolescent skin. If you lie out
in the sun unprotected,
you will once again start the clock ticking on the skin’s aging process. Our
staff will instruct you
on how to care for your skin to keep the youthful look you have achieved.
How long will the results of my laser
skin rejuvenation last?
Laser cosmetic procedures set the aging clock back, but do not stop the
clock from moving
forward. It is important for the patient to protect the skin from further
extreme sun damage. The
incisional eyelid surgery, using the CO2 laser, typically lasts for 12 to 15
years.
Can cosmetic eyelid surgery be
performed at the same as Laser Skin Rejuvenation?
Yes. We have found the combination of Laser Skin Rejuvenation and Laser
Eyelid surgery
produces a remarkable youthful, well-rested appearance and often acts as a
mini facelift.
The laser immediately seals blood vessels, resulting in less swelling and
discoloration, reducing
recovery time to a matter of days. We want you to have a pleasant experience
and a natural,
aesthetically pleasing results.
