THREE LEVELS OF Laser SKIN RESURFACING—FROM MILD TO DEEP—CUSTOMIZED TO YOUR NEEDS
The Joule is the one laser for skin resurfacing, regardless of the level needed for effective treatment.
- Because it features the industry’s first tunable skin resurfacing laser, the Joule is very effective for superficial or deep peels—without the use of chemical agents.
- ProFractional is exceptional technology for superficial or deep therapy. We also offer optional coagulation for increased firming/ tightening capabilities.
- BroadBand Light (BBL) is unparalleled light therapy used for many aesthetic and vascular conditions, as well as permanent hair removal. Treatments include Forever Young BBL and Forever Bare BBL.
MILD TREATMENT: MICROLASER resurfacing PEELS – MOXI
This youth-restoring treatment involves minimal downtime through a light resurfacing of the skin. The skin’s tone, texture, and color are evened out, leaving a healthy, overall youthful glow. Microlaser peel options available at Wilmington Plastic Surgery include:
- Level I Laser Peel — This minimally invasive laser peel buffs the skin, leaving it refreshed; with little to no social downtime.
- Level II Laser Peel — A deeper peel with very minimal social downtime; patients experience a little redness for two or three days.
- Level III Laser Peel — This level of peel goes deeper to treat fine lines and wrinkles; expect four to five days of social downtime.
What makes
SCITON’S RESURFACINg TECHNOLOGY BETTER?
Sciton’s tunable resurfacing technology is unique because it separates ablation and coagulation, allowing for the precise application of each. (Ablation refers to resurfacing or the removal of the outer layer; coagulation is the heat process that tightens or firms skin.)
Wilmington Plastic Surgery physicians can select the exact amount of both ablation and coagulation needed for every individual patient’s medical condition or aesthetic issue, as well as the patient’s desired outcome and tolerance for downtime. The technology allows our physicians to plane down mild to deep wrinkles externally while stimulating the dermal collagen internally.
The skin also becomes more resilient as a result and continually improves over weeks and months.
Because the Joule offers better ablation through more efficient water absorption, patients experience far fewer side effects. Higher water absorption also means higher efficiency and precise control. The energy is extremely targeted and does not radiate into the surrounding tissue.
Laser SCAR REDUCTION and ELIMINATION
While avoiding a noticeable scar is not the primary concern of any surgery, it should be an important consideration in the final treatment plan. For practically any type of surgery, Wilmington Plastic Surgery’s laser technicians have the capability to reduce post-surgical scars.
For patients who have undergone uncomfortable or even traumatic injuries, illnesses, and surgeries, removing unsightly scars and/or markings for radiation treatments can provide an overall sense of wellness and the ability to move beyond their illness.
