Collagen Remodeling .... helping to rebuild youth
Our Fotona Nd:Yag laser is a 1064
manometer laser that penetrates to the collagen layer in
your skin to gently heat and stimulate new growth of collagen
resulting in tightening of the skin. This very safe and
non-invasive procedure is often called the "lunch hour
face lift". Collagen is the backbone or structure to
our skin, much like the framework to a house. As we age,
our collagen bands relax, causing our skin to sag and develop
lines and wrinkles. Just like going to a gym and lifting
weights stresses muscles, resulting in new muscle growth
and toning, this deep heating of the collagen also results
in new collagen growth. This new growth can result in up
to a 40% tightening of skin.
Common Questions:
How will my
skin look after treatment?
Our Fotona Nd:yag laser is safe on all skin
types. In most people there is no sign that a treatment
has been done. A computerized scanner will safely and evenly
provide a pattern of pulses over the entire face. The neck
may also be scanned. This treatment can be completed in
as little as 45 minutes.
How
many treatments will I need?
Just like you cannot lift weights on time
to tone muscles, you must begin with a series of treatments.
A minimum of 3 treatments, 4 to 6 weeks apart, are recommended.
Follow up treatments will be needed to maintain continued
collagen growth.
How long will
it take to see results?
Because we are stimulating your own collagen
to grow, results will not be seen overnight. This is a gradual
change which will be seen over weeks to months. Your age
and general health will affect your individual results.
