Ottawa Laser Wrinkle Reduction

Hair Removal  

Nothing is quite as beautiful as soft, healthy-looking skin.

However, as we age, the effects of the sun, wind, time and hormones begin to take their toll. Fine lines begin to form around the lips and eyes. As the collagen that supports the skin wears out, deeper lines and grooves form in our brow, next to the nose and down to the corners of our mouths. Surface irregularities such as pigment discoloration and acne scarring may also occur.

Laser wrinkle reduction is one of the latest and most exciting cosmetic procedures available. This treatment is perfect for those looking for a safe, quick procedure to rejuvenate and revitalize the skin. Laser wrinkle reduction has become the procedure of choice among top celebrities, as well the "working" population who cannot afford time away from work to recover from more intense procedures, or who want a better solution to sun-damaged, aging or acne-scarred skin.

How does laser skin wrinkle reduction work?
Collagen provides the support network to our skin. As we age, the collagen breaks down causing lines and wrinkles. The laser works by stimulating collagen production. As the new collagen is generated, lines and wrinkles are decreased. Additionally, years of sun exposure can cause discoloration, large pores, and pigmented or red areas on the skin. Patients report, and studies have confirmed that this procedure achieves a more refreshed appearance, smoother skin texture, an even skin tone, and a decrease in pore size.

Why should I choose this procedure?
Because the action of laser wrinkle reduction is non­ablative (does not remove any skin) there are many benefits over other traditional laser procedures. The laser treatment is quick and offers no downtime - you can immediately return to your normal activi­ties. There is minimal discomfort, and a very low risk of any complications. Patients will experience progressive improvement over several weeks  for a fresh, natural look. Laser wrinkle reduction is compatible with a whole host of other cosmetic procedures so that maximum results can be achieved.

Is the procedure safe?
The Assure210 laser used for laser wrinkle reduction is one of the safest lasers on the market today. Assure210 laser offers a safe and effective treatment with very little risk of complications. Patients of all skin types can be safely treated - including tanned skin.

What body areas can be treated?
The laser can be used to rejuvenate many body areas including the face, hands, neck and chest.

How many treatments will I need?
Laser wrinkle reduction is a gradual process. Usually patients need 4-6 treatments spaced at  2 weeks apart. Many patients choose to return for touch-up treatments after the initial treatment session ends.

What does the procedure feel like?
Laser wrinkle reduction is not painful. Many describe the feeling as a tingling sensation. Anesthesia is usually not necessary.

What can I expect after the treatment?
This procedure eliminates the recovery associated with other ablative laser skin resurfacing treatments. Laser wrinkle reduction does not remove any surface skin or cause any visible effect beyond a mild redness, which usually fades within an hour after treatment. No specific care is needed after treatment, you may be asked to avoid sun and some skin products for a period of time after the treatment. It is important follow our instructions.
