LASER SKIN REJUVENATION

For aging and sun damaged facial skin that has lost its elasticity, the Georgia Dermatology Center offers minimally-invasive treatments to help you look your best.

Fotofacial™ RF

Looking to reduce the visible signs of sun damage? This unique combination of intense pulsed light and radiofrequency energies is a gentle yet effective treatment for age spots, brown pigmentation, spider veins, and also the redness of rosacea. Georgia Dermatology Center recommends a series of treatments 3 to 4 weeks apart, then 3 treatments per year for maintenance. FotoFacial provides superior results for all skin types and requires no down time.

Refirme™

ReFirme™ uses revolutionary ELOS technology to comfortably achieve skin tightening, wrinkle reduction, and facial contouring with no down time. Treatments stimulate collagen production, tightening skin and smoothing away fine lines and wrinkles. Most patients will notice results after just one treatment, however cumulative improvement occurs with a treatment series. For best results, Georgia Dermatology Center recommends 5 treatments performed 3 to 4 weeks apart, followed by 3 treatments a year for maintenance.

Matrix IR™

The Matrix IR™ treatment uses a combination of light and radiofrequency to create the deep thermal heating needed to both shrink and generate new collagen while protecting the top layer of skin. This creates a unique energy profile that is optimal for gentle yet effective wrinkle treatment. Fractional tissue-sparing promotes quicker healing and minimizes downtime. Matrix IR is great for fine lines and wrinkles, especially “smoker’s lines.”

Triniti™

Not sure which treatment to choose from? Now you can reduce visible signs of sun damage, contour the face, and improve wrinkles, texture and tone with one treatment. Triniti™ combines the Fotofacial, Refirme, and Matrix treatments for maximal rejuvenation with minimal recuperation.

Micro Laser Peel™

The Sciton Erbium Laser provides the latest in skin rejuvenation. This procedure is most often used for light skin resurfacing to treat fine lines and sun damage. By using a computerized scanner, more uniform results are achieved. Short pulses of laser energy gently ablate the outer layers of the skin at precise depths to eliminate unwanted pigmentation and fine lines. Deeper treatments improve acne scars and deeper wrinkles.

Many patients follow this procedure with ProFractional Therapy to stimulate collagen remodeling through deep fractional ablation.

ProFractional™

Achieve total skin rejuvenation utilizing the latest and best technology has to offer with ScitonProFractional treatment with minimal downtime. Unlike full field resurfacing which removes the entire surface area of a treatment site, ProFractional ablates narrow-diameter channels into the skin, covering a fraction of the total treatment area. This action initiates the body’s wound healing response which stimulates fibroblasts to produce new collagen and elastin, while leaving the surrounding tissue intact for rapid healing. The benefits of ProFractional include increased patient comfort, shorter healing times, and tunable results that can range from subtle to dramatic.

ProFractional utilizes an erbium:YAG laser, which was chosen due to its high ablation efficiency. Erbium has a much higher absorption in the target chromophore water than CO2 which gives erbium the ability to vaporize tissue with very little thermal conduction resulting in minimal procedure discomfort.

ProFractional treatments dramatically improve the overall appearance of your skin including tone, texture, acne scars, and wrinkles. Dr. Gross can select treatment depth and density to provide uniform color, texture and tone to the face and can do so without the scabs, crusting, and the associated long downtime of heavy ablation. Low intensity treatments may require 3 treatments for optimal results with minimal downtime while high intensity treatments may require only 1 treatment but can result in some downtime. ProFractional works very well as a stand-alone procedure or in combination with other treatments like the Micro Laser Peel. Results are permanent.
