Laser skin resurfacing is now fractional<\/h2>\n

Laser skin resurfacing is a more aggressive treatment approach to skin damage or scars. Some parts of the skin will be completely renewed and this requires some downtime or a visible healing process.<\/p>\n

This means we resurface a fraction of the skin and not the whole skin. Why is this a top choice? Because fractional treatment results in a quicker healing process with fewer complications. Although dramatic results could be achieved in the past with full skin resurfacing, there were too many complications to justify its use. Now we can safely achieve those same results with revolutionary new equipment that has become available only in the last 5 years.<\/p>\n

Different kinds of laser resurfacing<\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. Fraxel\u00ae (non-ablative fractional resurfacing)<\/li>\n
  2. Ematrix (sublative fractional resurfacing)<\/li>\n
  3. CO2 (carbon dioxide) fractional resurfacing<\/li>\n
  4. Clear + Brilliant\u00ae<\/sup><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    The treatment descriptions below will help you determine which procedure is right for you; we invite you to schedule a consultation<\/a> visit where you will meet with a cosmetic coordinators and a physician or a physician assistant to answer your questions and determine the best treatment plan for you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
