Fractionated CO2 Laser Skin Resurfacing: The Fastest-Growing Cosmetic Procedure Last Year

Uncategorized anti aging laser treatments Atlanta, best laser skin treatments Atlanta, how to treat aging and sun damage, new skin care treatments Duluth GA, what is fractionated laser skin resurfacing

At Laser Lights Cosmetic Laser Center, we believe in giving each patient the precise treatments that are best suited to their skin and their goals. But we also believe that keeping an eye on the latest skin care trends can introduce people to options they’d never known about before. That’s why we’re fascinated to see that according to the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (who releases some of the most comprehensive annual data on cosmetic treatments), fractionated laser skin resurfacing was last year’s fastest-growing treatment.

Fractionated CO2 Laser Skin Resurfacing The Fastest-Growing Cosmetic Procedure Last Year

Fractionated CO2 laser skin resurfacing is one of the most effective treatments we provide at Laser Lights. It’s based on earlier methods of laser skin resurfacing in which the laser was used to remove damaged surface skin throughout the entire face (or other treatment area). While this was effective in reducing signs of aging and sun damage, it was a very significant procedure that required weeks of recovery time and left a distinct line around the edge of the treatment area. The fractional method, on the other hand, uses a type of laser that creates tiny “treatment zones” instead. Even though the laser only impacts small areas of skin with untouched skin surrounding them, your body’s healing process actually “fills in the gaps” and extends the rejuvenating effects throughout the entire treatment area. This treatment still produces exceptional results, but with dramatically less downtime, a lower risk of side effects, a lower cost, and no line of demarcation at the edge of the treatment area.

So exactly how popular was this innovative treatment last year? According to the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, the nationwide numbers increased by 99.5% in just one year! This isn’t a new trend either, as there were more than four times as many fractionated laser skin resurfacing treatments performed in 2017 compared to 2012. Based on our many patients at Laser Lights who have received the procedure and loved their results, we attribute its popularity to a few factors:

Versatility, as it can address fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars or other scars, skin laxity, sun damage/age spots, freckles, and irregularities in skin texture and color for the face as well as the neck, chest, and other areas
Easy accessibility due to the reduced recovery time
More manageable price than traditional laser skin resurfacing
Ability to get results in one to two treatments
Effective, natural-looking results

As experienced medical professionals, we never recommend a treatment based solely on its popularity. However, we also encourage our patients to learn about their many options, and studying trends like this can introduce you to a great procedure you didn’t know about. If you want to learn more about fractionated CO2 laser skin resurfacing and find out if it can help you achieve your cosmetic goals, schedule a free consultation today.

Fractionated CO2 Laser Skin Resurfacing

Fractionated laser resurfacing for facial rejuvenation may be the most efficient treatment we offer, not just because of how effective it is, but because of how many issues it treats at the same time. Whether you want to reduce fine lines, wrinkles, age spots, acne scars, or overall skin texture and firmness, fractionated CO2 laser skin resurfacing can be a powerful option. And this month, you can get it all for 20% less.

Non-Surgical Fat Reduction with SculpSure®

If you (like many of us) have an extra bulge or two that you want to get rid of before summer, now is the perfect time to do something about it. Non-surgical fat reduction directly targets unwanted fat and works with your body’s natural processes to remove it. This month, you can save 20% while you get your physique ready for summer.

Laser Hair Removal

You may be looking forward to the warm weather, but not necessarily the endless time you’ll spend shaving and waxing to look great in your summer wardrobe. Laser hair removal can be the long-term option you’re looking for, and this month, you can enjoy savings at the same time.

Non-Surgical Skin Tightening

Skin laxity is a common cosmetic concern whether it’s facial aging or a loss of skin firmness throughout the body. Fortunately, our non-surgical skin tightening treatments with Viora Reaction™ can treat nearly any area of the face and body. As an added bonus (on top of this month’s special savings), this treatment can reduce the appearance of cellulite as well.

Laser Tattoo Removal

If you have a tattoo you no longer want or a tattoo that interferes with your job, trying to keep it covered on a daily basis is a burden. That’s why laser tattoo removal is such a popular treatment. Whether you want to remove your tattoo entirely or only remove part of it to turn it into a new tattoo, our March special has you covered.

Laser Spider Vein Treatments

Spider veins are never welcome, but they pop up on the legs and faces of people of all ages. With summer on its way, who wouldn’t want to feel more confident in their shorts and bathing suits? Take a step toward that goal by getting rid of your spider veins for less with our March special.

Treatments for Wrinkles

Our licensed medical aestheticians and experienced providers can select the ideal wrinkle treatment for each patient’s needs. To spread the love this month, we’re offering savings on TWO popular but different options – fractionated laser skin resurfacing and microneedling. Both are effective ways to reduce fine lines and wrinkles as well as acne scars, and even give the skin a little bit of extra firmness by helping to rebuild collagen. Laser treatments can even treat age spots at the same time, although they do require more recovery time than microneedling treatments. Whichever choice is best for your skin, you can save all month long.

Nonsurgical Fat Removal

If you’re one of the many Americans whose New Year’s resolutions include improving your physique, know that there’s more involved than just diet and exercise. When you’re already at a healthy weight but you have a stubborn bulge or two of unwanted fat, it may be time to try something more direct. Our nonsurgical fat removal uses controlled warmth, applied with an FDA-approved system, to reduce the fat cells in a specific area of your choosing, giving you more defined and desirable contours. And this month, you can get it for a great discount!

Spider Vein Removal

They might have a reputation as a grandmother’s problem, but spider veins can hit at any age. Whether they’re on your legs or your face, our targeted laser treatments can treat unwanted spider veins quickly and with no recovery time. Depending on the patient and the vein, thorough spider vein treatment results can take a few sessions to achieve, so get started now to enjoy younger-looking legs this summer AND to save with our January special.

Laser Hair Removal

If you want to simplify your life this year, cutting down on shaving can make a great difference. Laser hair removal can be effective for nearly any area of the body, and with this month’s special discount, it can be especially cost-effective (especially if you’re paying for pricey waxing or sugaring treatments on a regular basis).

Laser Tattoo Removal

The new year is the perfect time to commit to getting rid of something that’s plagued you – like a tattoo you no longer want. If laser tattoo removal is on your list of goals for 2018, it’s best to get started now, because the process can be a long one for some tattoos. But the good news is that our January special can help you get started for less.

Flash Sales

Here’s a bonus heads-up as a special “thank you” for following our blog – we’re planning TWO one-day-only flash sales this month, with discounts that are even better than our January specials! To be the first to know, subscribe to our Laser Lights email list and follow us on Facebook, Twitter, and Google+.

Intellishade® Tinted Moisturizer with SPF

Two of the most powerful skin care products are sunscreen and moisturizer. If you’re trying to start wearing sunscreen every day (which we recommend for every patient to reduce sun damage and keep you looking younger for longer), we have a special trick. Intellishade® is a favorite for our patients and our staff alike because it combines sun protection, moisturizer, and a hint of color for a more even complexion, all in one product. This month, we’re offering a rare discount on this popular product, so it’s the perfect time to stock up.

The year ahead is full of possibilities, and it’s refreshing to be able to start it with new goals and visions for the future. At Laser Lights Cosmetic Laser Center, we’re all about getting our patients where they want to be, and we’re thrilled to offer you an extra hand with our January skin care savings.

What’s it Like to Have Fractionated CO2 Laser Skin Resurfacing – from a Patient’s Perspective?

Uncategorized anti aging laser treatments Atlanta, does laser skin resurfacing hurt, laser facial rejuvenation Atlanta, what does a laser skin treatment feel like, what to expect from laser skin resurfacing

If you’re a person who likes to know what’s ahead, this one’s for you. Many patients who receive cosmetic treatments do some research beforehand to find out about their chosen procedure. But as much as you learn about the science behind the treatment, how long it takes, and more, it doesn’t beat the actual experience. Today, we’re giving you the next best thing – the genuine, no-nonsense input of a patient who’s had the treatment herself. You’ve seen a similar blog about laser hair removal, so now check out Jenny’s story about fractionated CO2 laser skin resurfacing.

$whats it like to get CO2 fractionated laser treatment$ Hi, everyone! I’m Jenny, and I’m someone who’s thoroughly familiar with the world of cosmetic treatments. I’ve been a patient of Laser Lights and Dr. David Whiteman, the plastic surgeon who operates both Laser Lights and Southern Plastic Surgery, for ten years. I had a facelift from Dr. Whiteman last year, but I also want to top off those results by taking care of some sun damage from my younger years as well as fine lines, wrinkles, and scars (from the facelift as well as acne). Dr. Whiteman’s recommendation was the fractionated laser skin resurfacing.

On the day of the treatment, I used numbing cream from Laser Lights to numb my face for 2+ hours. The procedure was really different from the laser treatments I’ve had before, because those were all quick spot treatments like age spot removal in a less concentrated area. But honestly, the whole appointment was over more quickly than I expected. I received one pass of the laser on my forehead (ten years of Botox® has kept most of the wrinkles away), two passes on my lower face, and three passes on my chin. I was definitely nervous, but they held my hand the entire time and kept the fan blowing on my face to keep me cool. The whole staff did a great job of explaining what I could expect, what they were doing, and how everything would work.

In the two weeks since the fractionated laser skin resurfacing, it’s been crazy to watch how my skin is changing. I was raw and crusted for several days, and I had to keep my skin hydrated and cleaned with a mixture of vinegar and tepid water, as well as shea butter and hydrocortisone cream. After five days, I was able to use a soft washcloth and rub in circles very gently, and that made a huge improvement! Since then, my skin has gradually improved little by little. Today, after two weeks, I only have a bit of peeling and scabbing left on my chin. But it’s all worth it since I’ve started seeing my results! My healed skin is so much smoother, especially where my cheeks used to have acne scars. The wrinkles around my mouth have improved tremendously, too.

Ultimately, I’m definitely glad I had the procedure, and I would absolutely do it again (and probably will when new signs of aging pop up). Even though my experience was more intense than it would be for most patients (because I’m out of state and had to have in one session what most patients would have in two), it was all manageable. In fact, I’ve already recommended this procedure at Laser Lights to a few friends and family members!

Jenny has been a patient of Laser Lights and our surgical practice, Southern Plastic Surgery, for a decade, and there’s a reason for that. At Laser Lights Cosmetic Laser Center, we’re passionate about providing top-notch cosmetic medical care, but also about making each patient feel like family. Jenny is a genuine part of our family, and we’re grateful to her for sharing her story.
