Fractional Skin Resurfacing: The Newest Treatment for Wrinkles, Acne Scarring & Stretch Marks

The new SmartSkin & Smartxide DOT Fractional CO2 lasers combine unique micro-ablative technology to treat deep wrinkles, photoaging, acne scars and other difficult to treat skin conditions with minimal downtime. With fractional laser resurfacing the laser beam is broken into microscopic columns of laser light. When the beams strike, they leave normal surrounding skin areas intact so that the process results in very quick healing. These columns of laser light take away (or ablate) old, damaged collagen and elastic fibers so that new fresh tissue can grow into these channels. As this occurs, wrinkles and irregular pigmentation are removed, skin tightens and the skin is rejuvenated. A short series of treatments 2 to 3 weeks apart, requiring only a topical anesthetic cream, yield the best results with improvements noticed even after the first treatment. As new collagen is produced, the results are further refined over time.

This latest fractional resurfacing technology allows the physician a level of control in density and depth of treatment (ablation) not possible with previous ablative lasers. Using this technology, these lasers are ideal for full-face rejuvenation, treatment of lines and wrinkles, pigment irregularities as well as acne scars. This results in improvement in overall skin tone, texture, tightness, smoothness and pigmentation. These devices can also be used to treat the face, neck, chest and hands. It has also been found effective in treating stretch marks.

Using this technology, Dr. Bruce Katz has pioneered the New Fractional Eyelift (known as the “Madonna Lift”) that is a safe effective treatment that tightens upper and lower eyelid skin, helps to elevate drooping eyebrows as well takes away dark circles and wrinkles. It has a good number of the benefits of a surgical eyelift without the risk and downtime.
