Using the Surgipulsed laser, the
outermost layers of the skin are actually vaporized
in a carefully controlled fashion. The high energy
pulsing of the laser beam minimizes the spread of heat
to adjacent tissues and causes less damage to the skin.
This provides a relatively bloodless method of treating
wrinkles. Using this procedure, the tough, thicker
skin of the wrinkle is partially removed. The wrinkle
itself cannot be completely eliminated because wrinkles
are caused by the movement of underlying muscles. These
are the very movements that give expression to our
faces. When the edges of the wrinkles are smoothed,
however, the skin will have a softer, more youthful
texture. The treatment is available in our office with
sedative anesthesia.
