At Oculofacial Surgery & Aesthetics, we’re committed to offering treatments that are proven to work. One of our favorite ways to help our clients achieve a more youthful, radiant complexion is through cutting-edge laser facial treatments. Our state-of-the-art laser technology includes the MiXto® Fractional CO2 Laser and the Icon Max G® for pulsed light treatments, allowing us to tailor our approach to your unique skin concerns.
The MiXto® Fractional CO2 Laser is a revolutionary treatment that combines the power of traditional CO2 laser resurfacing with the precision of fractional technology. This advanced laser system delivers targeted energy to the skin, creating microscopic columns of controlled injury that stimulate the body’s natural healing process. As the skin heals, it produces new collagen and elastin, resulting in a smoother, more youthful, and rejuvenated appearance.
The MiXto® Fractional CO2 Laser can effectively address various skin concerns, including:
Laser skin resurfacing offers impressive results with minimal downtime, making it an excellent choice for individuals seeking a comprehensive skin rejuvenation solution.
Pulsed light treatments, also known as IPL (intense pulsed light) or OPL (optimized pulsed light), are non-invasive procedures that use broad-spectrum light to target and treat various skin concerns. At Oculofacial Surgery & Aesthetics, we utilize the advanced Icon Max G® system, which delivers precise and controlled light energy to the skin.
Pulsed light treatments can effectively address:
These treatments work by targeting specific chromophores (pigments) in the skin, such as melanin or hemoglobin, without damaging the surrounding tissue. The light energy is absorbed by these chromophores, causing them to break down and eventually be eliminated by the body’s natural processes.
Before your laser facial treatment, our experienced team will thoroughly evaluate your skin and discuss your concerns and desired outcomes. Based on this assessment, we will recommend the most appropriate laser treatment or combination of treatments to achieve your goals.
During the procedure, you may experience some mild discomfort, which can be managed with topical anesthetics or cooling devices. The treatment time and number of sessions required will depend on the specific laser technology used and the extent of the treated area.
After your laser facial, you can expect some temporary redness, swelling, or mild peeling, which is a normal part of the healing process. Our team will provide you with detailed post-treatment instructions to ensure a smooth and comfortable recovery.
To achieve the best results and a smooth recovery, it’s essential to follow the post-treatment care guidelines provided by your provider at Oculofacial Surgery & Aesthetics. These will likely include:
By following these guidelines and our expert recommendations, you can maximize the benefits of your laser facial treatment and enjoy a refreshed, radiant complexion.
