Gentle, Yet Powerful Laser Skin Resurfacing
Gentle, Yet Powerful Laser Skin Resurfacing
The idea behind this top-of-the-line laser was to have a strong response in one treatment with only three to four days of patient downtime. With only four days of social downtime, a patient can come into AOB Med Spa on Thursday and return to work on Monday with incredible long-term results.
During treatment, Pearl™ removes (or vaporizes) a portion of the epidermis with a controlled thermal (heating) effect. The thermal effect, which produces a coagulation reaction in the tissues, is said to create a natural, protective dressing on the skin’s surface, which remains intact and helps minimize downtime during the healing and new skin cell regeneration process. An additional benefit of the heat is said to be in the increase in new collagen growth that it creates in the skin. The depth of skin removed (between 10 – 30 microns) is controlled by the clinician using the device to achieve the optimum results for the area being treated.
CoolSculpting® employs a process known as Cryolipolysis. (“Cryo” = cold + “lipo” = fat cells + “lysis” = cell death and removal.) During treatment, stubborn fat deposits are subjected to controlled cooling.
The controlled cooling safely penetrates the skin. Subcutaneous fat cells begin to freeze. This ruptures the cell’s membrane. The ruptured fat cells are flagged for apoptosis –cell death and removal.
Over the passage of several weeks, the body’s immune system gathers the demolished fat cells. Frozen fat cells ultimately exit the body as waste. These fat cells cannot return or be replaced.
