Pixel Perfect Fractionated Laser Resurfacing
Pixel Perfect Fractionated Laser Resurfacing is available in Santa Barbara at the Dermatologist and Dermasurgeon office of Keith Llewellyn MD (Aloe Dermatology.)
In one short office visit, Santa Barbara based dermatologist and dermasurgeon, Keith Llewellyn MD, can use the Pixel Perfect fractionated laser by Alma Lasers to resurface your skin. Remove years of sun damage, stimulate collagen, improve lines and wrinkles, diminish acne scars, tighten the skin, restore a smooth texture to your skin, remove brown spots, reduce the appearance of pores and restore a radiance to your skin that you may not have seen in years.
Unlike old ablative laser resurfacing technology, deep chemical peels and aggressive dermabrasion which are very painful, require long recovery times of a month or more and frequently lead to scarring and hypopigmentation, Pixel Perfect fractionated laser resurfacing can have you back out in Santa Barbara living your life within a few days of your treatment. Pixel Perfect fractionated laser resurfacing works by creating thousands of microscopic perforations in the skin which stimulates collagen and removes the unwanted signs of photoaging on the surface of the skin. In any one treatment session, about 20-30% of your skin is resurfaced leaving the remaining 70% of skin between these perforations untouched and healthy. This allows for quick healing and minimal discomfort. Keith Llewellyn MD will apply a topical anesthetic about 30-40 minutes prior to the procedure for most patients to ensure optimal comfort during the Pixel Perfect fractionated laser resurfacing procedure. After the laser procedure, your skin will appear as if it has had a good sunburn. Discomfort during the first few hours of the healing phase is usually minimal and easily controlled with cool, wet cloths and ibuprofen. Within 3 days this redness has largely resolved for most patients, but superficial peeling continues for a few more days. By day seven, most patients who have had Pixel Perfect fractionated laser resurfacing by Keith Llewellyn MD are completely healed. Dramatic results can be seen with a single treatment, but optimal results are seen after series of 3 to 5 Pixel Perfect fractionated laser resurfacing treatments. Treatments may be performed as often as every four weeks.
