LASER REVAPURATION OF WRINKLES AND SCARS

Dr. Thomas Chu has been causation laser resurfacing of facial skin since 1994. Before the advent of lasers specifically designed for skin rejuvenation, Dr. Chu performed traditional dermabrasion and deep chemical peels to correct scars. and wrinkles. Laser resurfacing is a procedure that diminishes or eliminates fine wrinkles and other skin abnormalities by delivering tiny, multiple pulses of a specific wavelength of light energy to remove scars, wrinkles, or sun-damaged skin and represents the most advanced technology available in the treatment and refinement of the skin.

Dr. Chu employs a fractional CO2 laser, an Erbium-YAG laser, and the new Picosure laser to provide a wide range of options that are tailored to the needs of each individual patient.

Ablative laser resurfacing

Ultra pulse Fractional CO2 and Erbium-YAG lasers are lasers that remove or vaporize damaged skin. The Ultra pulse fractional CO2 laser is the gold standard in ablative resurfacing lasers. The designation “fractional” refers to the property of this laser to remove deep columns of damaged skin in a pattern that leaves “bridges” of intact skin that accelerates healing while minimizing downtime and potential complications. Removal of deep columns of damaged skin causes contraction and tightening of the treated areas and stimulates the production of natural collagen, leading to a long-term “filling” of the deepest layer of the skin called the dermis.

Non-ablative laser resurfacing

The new Pico sure laser has established a new paradigm in non-ablative laser resurfacing. It has recently been featured in the media regarding its effectiveness, with essentially no downtime. Although it typically requires several treatments, each treatment is essentially painless. The treated areas are slightly red for 1-4 days and can be effectively camouflaged with cosmetics the next day. It is the treatment of choice in patients whose schedules do not allow a recovery period during which the treated skin is noticeably altered.

Deep stretching creates a new layer of skin that leads to a such marked improvement in some of Dr. Chu’s patients that they refer to the procedure as a “laser lift.” It can also work well together or as an additional treatment to other aesthetic procedures such as chemical peels, blepharoplasty, face and neck liposuction, and wrinkle correction.
