a Jeuné Medical Spa offers the latest state-of-the-art erbium laser treatment for laser skin resurfacing.
Erbium laser offers patients excellent results without side effects often associated with other laser resurfacing techniques. Benefits of the laser include less trauma to the skin, less risk of scarring, less pain, and faster recovery times - at least 50-60% faster than other methods. The erbium laser is ideal for patients wanting a "weekend rejuvenation" equivalent to a light peel with fast healing, minimal down time and done with the precision of today's most advanced laser system. Deeper wrinkles and scars also respond well to erbium laser. The erbium can also be used to treat delicate neck, hands and chest, and well suited for the treatment of patients with darker skin pigment types. Isolated facial regions may also be treated, rather than resurfacing the entire face. Those treated on a Wednesday may be back to work Monday, with a rapid return to outdoor activities. Many erbium procedures can be done with a topical cream or local anesthetic.
CO2 Laser for Deep Laser Skin Resurfacing
The CO2 laser is the most effective skin resurfacing laser for deep lines and wrinkles, acne scars, and some surgical scars.
The laser works by removing the uppermost layer of the skin around the wrinkles or scar. As new skin regenerates, the area appears smoother. Depending on the depth and type of wrinkle or scar more than one treatment is rarely required.
Dr. Hubbell can use both the CO2 and erbium lasers in combination, allowing him to better fine tune each procedure to the patients' specific needs.
