Laser Collagen Replenishment
Laser Collagen Replenishment is the first selective non-ablative laser system
cleared by the FDA
This laser treatment for wrinkle reduction is non-invasive and does not require
general or local anesthesia. It is a non-ablative laser and does not wound the
surface of the skin, eliminating the need for post treatment care. The light
from the laser targets the tissue under the skin surface stimulating new
collagen growth. The new collagen growth fills in the depression under
the wrinkle, reducing the crease in the wrinkle surface. Treatments can take as
little as 10 minutes, or up to 30 minutes depending upon the area and number of
wrinkles to be treated. There is no pain associated with this treatment. Some
patients may feel a slight warming sensation.
Unlike other laser treatments there is no pain or damage to the skin's surface
associated with this treatment. Makeup or moisturizer may be applied
immediately after treatment and patients are able to return to their normal
activities including work or sports. Patients may participate in outside
activities without fear of sensitivity to sunlight. The full response from a
single treatment builds collagen gradually to a maximum benefit appearance at
60 to 90 days
To achieve maximum results from the laser procedure mentioned in this article,
Physicians often recommend that a skin care regimen consisting of products that
contain anti-aging
active ingredients like Vitamin A,E,C, Glycolic Acids, Alpha Hydroxy
Acids, etc. be started approximately two months prior to the procedure and
should continue post-treatment as directed by your Doctor. These products and
skin care regimens are also proven to be effective, painless and inexpensive
alternatives to laser procedures and other professional cosmetic procedures.
Our most popular anti-aging skin care regimens are from

products, it is recommended you consult with a skin care professional.
