A
Healthier, More Youthful Appearance
Dr. Newman began using laser
technology while at Stanford University Medical Center and has
made several important contributions to the development of common
practice techniques used by laser surgeons today. The laser
produces controlled brief pulses of invisible light which Dr.
Newman controls to precisely remove aged skin, layer by layer,
stimulating the regeneration of new, healthy skin. By carefully
passing the laser beam over your skin's imperfections, Dr. Newman
can smooth the texture and diminish the aged and sallow look of
your skin, restoring it to a healthier, more youthful appearance.
Specialized
Laser Technology
Using the Erbium and combination Carbon Dioxide laser, sun damage,
acne pitting, and other skin texture imperfections can be smoothed
and improved, with minimal post-procedure down time. This system
represents a major advance in skin resurfacing because of the
unique characteristics of its patented beam technology. This
intense beam of light instantly and precisely vaporizes damaged
skin layer by layer. Erbium and New Carbon Dioxide laser treatment
patients show less redness and exhibit equally good results with
shorter healing time and with less risk than with previous
treatments.
Smoother
And More Refreshed
After laser treatment, the skin heals and remodels itself so that
problems such as wrinkles, fine lines and scars are improved and
softened. The skin texture is also improved giving a more youthful
appearance. For approximately 7 days after your laser treatment,
while the skin is resurfacing, your skin will be red, and somewhat
swollen. You will be asked during this period of time to use a
special moisturizing agent and gentle cleanser to keep the
resurfacing areas moist and clean. Makeup can usually be worn 8-9
days following treatment. Your personal success will be enhanced
by your conscientious care of your new, precious skin during this
period of time. While laser resurfacing is not a substitute for a
facelift, it does provide excellent results. Your skin will look
younger, smoother, more refreshed, softened and rejuvenated when
healing is completed.
About
Facial and Neck Skin Resurfacing
Your skin protects your body from infection, shielding it from
harmful substances that might otherwise challenge your health.
Time, sun exposure, harsh wind, pollutants, and even hormones can
all effect your skin adversely, aging and etching it with lines,
discolorations, scars, or other imperfections. While these
blemishes are not dangerous, they often detract from your natural
beauty. At Premier Plastic Surgery, Dr. Newman
offers customized treatments for each patient depending upon the
skin tone, color, and type of damage present. We have experience
treating all skin types including Asian and Mediterranean
patients. His expertise focuses on Chemical
Peels, the new micro-dermabrasion technology - Diamond
NewApeel, and Laser Skin Resurfacing described above.
