Enhanced Skin Rejuvenation

Enhanced Skin Rejuvenation is the use of precision laser therapy to remove the most common signs of age and sun damage from red and brown discoloration to lax skin and wrinkles. It works by precisely targeting the three major signs of aging: brown discolorations, also known as pigmented lesions (age spots, sun spots, etc), are darker than the rest of the skin and absorb more laser energy than surrounding skin. Red discolorations, also known as vascular lesions (small veins, rosacea, cherry angiomas, etc.), are overgrown or enlarged blood vessels. Preferentially heating vessel walls causes them to weaken, fall, and be absorbed by the body. Wrinkles and skin laxity are caused by a gradual breakdown in collagen density and strength. Deep heating laser energy starts a regenerative process, which lays down layers of new healthy collagen.

What can I expect during treatment

Your physician will apply a clear gel to the skin on which the chilled laser handpiece will glide. Treatment progresses in stages

• Stage 1: Utilizing high precision beams, laser energy is delivered to distinct sun spots and age spots
• Stage 2: The same high precision beam is adjusted to match distinct vascular targets including superficial veins and cherry angiomas.
• Stage 3: The laser is changed from a precision spot to a large spot for general background sun damage.
• Stage 4: The wavelength of the laser is changed to treat deeper into the dermis for collagen contraction.

Since 1989, Iredex has been a leader in medical precision laser technology with a track record of developing exceptionally safe and effective systems. All treatments have been carefully researched and FDA cleared; however, like any medical procedure, there are risks that you should discuss with your physician before treatment.
