Skin aging occurs in part due to the
loss of collagen and elastin in the dermis.
Additionally, atrophic scarring, which is often seen as
a result of acne or chicken pox, is more visually
apparent as a result of reduced collagen in the
depressed scar tissue.
Nonablative skin rejuvenation is a treatment that
stimulates collagen production in the dermis, while
selectively sparing the epidermis, resulting in improved
skin firmness and reduction of fine lines, wrinkles and
scarring. This treatment employs
a wavelength of laser energy that is absorbed by water
in the dermis which transiently heats the dermis,
creating the ideal conditions for collagen deposition.
This treatment requires four to six
treatments at four week intervals to achieve optimal
collagen stimulation. The
collagen continues to form in the dermis for six to
twelve months after completion of the treatment series.
Since nonablative treatments do not
disrupt the epidermis, there is no down time associated
with this treatment. Skin
rejuvenation treatments are often very successfully
combined with resurfacing procedures. This approach
treats both surface imperfections and the loss of
resilience and elasticity. |
