RAPID, SAFE, AND GENTLE SKIN RESURFACING

Skin resurfacing with the UltraPulse laser is rapid and gentle. Because the treatment is bloodless and does not involve chemicals that cover the surface of the skin, we are able to clearly see exactly how much tissue to treat and remove during the procedure. It is easy to see deeper lines that may be treated more specifically to obtain the best results.

In the first few days after the procedure, your skin will weep as new collagen is formed by the dermal layer to rebuild the skin from the bottom up. It will then go through a period of crusting for a few days. When the crusting is gone, the fresh new skin will have a pink quality, which will fade over a period of approximately 2-6 weeks.

This is easily camouflaged by makeup, which can usually be applied in 4-7 days, depending upon your skin's response to treatment.

Post-procedure discomfort is usually minor, requiring little or no medication, but because pain is highly individual, we will make sure that you are kept comfortable during and after your resurfacing.

We invite you to inquire about UltraPulse skin resurfacing, and how it can help give you smoother, fresher, younger-looking skin.
