As we age, the signs of older skin can seem to creep in overnight. Collagen accounts for about 30% of your skin's total mass, and by the time you're 25, production is already decreasing each year, leaving skin looking less full and vibrant. Age spots, scars, large pores, and unwanted facial hair only add to the problem, and no matter how level-headed you are when it comes to life, this impacts your confidence. Give yourself the gift of more youthful-looking skin this year with an anti-aging laser treatment.
Dr. Allen uses the Elite+® system by the trusted laser treatment leader CynoSure. This system uses a dual-wavelength laser at 755 nm and 1064 nm to treat several signs of aging. It's reliable, proven, and effective on all skin types, and one system can be adjusted to target what you need to focus on for a personalized treatment.
When you think of skin aging, wrinkles may come to mind, but wrinkles alone don't make skin look older. To truly transform your appearance, you need to address several signs of aging, which is exactly what Dr. Allen uses in her office. Laser treatments can:
The laser technology utilized by the Elite+ system has been around for nearly 20 years for laser hair removal, with many studies during that time supporting its safety and effectiveness even on pigmented skin of phototypes IV (light brown) through VI (very dark) for which some laser hair removal systems aren't effective. Similar studies during that time have demonstrated this system's ability to safely address the signs of aging listed above.
Before the treatment, take a picture because you'll want to see the dramatic difference in your skin's appearance after this procedure, which lasts about 45 minutes. During the procedure, Dr. Allen uses the applicator to emit short bursts of light onto your skin. The very top layer of skin absorbs the heat, which causes surface cells to turn over, revealing more youthful-looking skin beneath. While the laser isn't painful for people who do not have a very low pain tolerance, most people describe the sensation as comparable to a rubber band snapping against the skin over and over. You typically need three to five sessions to get the best results. During your consultation, Dr. Allen customizes a plan to help you get the results you're looking for.
After the procedure, you feel like you have a mild to moderate sunburn. It takes about two weeks to fully heal and see the more youthful-looking skin.
