SmartXEL C02 fractional laser can restore the skins natural beauty. It works by resurfacing the top layer of skin, removing sun damage and pigmented lesions and smoothing the skin texture. At same time it stimulates the production of collagen and elastin to restore and remodel the skin from the inside.
Anti aging treatments not only improve the sign of any lines or wrinkles they can also improve your confidence and self asteem. After an initial consultation we would work with you to decide which is the best treatment for yourself and will achieve the best results.
As we age the level of collagen decreases resulting in lines and wrinkles and skin laxity. Through the process of skin rejuvenation by SmartXEL laser the levels of natural collagen are restored which thickens the skin improving laxity and smoothing lines and wrinkles. As the treatment restores natural collagen the results are natural and permanent, subject to the natural ageing process.
Results may vary from person to person
With its surgical handpiece the SmartXEL laser can also safely remove:
SKIN TAGS
MOLES
SEBORRHEIC KERATOSIS
FRECKLES AND PIGMENTED LESIONS
This depends on what we are treating, for some 1-2 sessions will achieve the desired results. For scar improvement 3-5 sessions are recommended. The number of sessions will depend on the age and health of the skin and what extent of improvement is desired.
For skin rejuvenation and scar treatment your skin will be numbed with topical anaesthetic so treatment will not be painful. After treatment you will feel a build up of heat in the skin but we will reduce this quickly by effective skin cooling.
Your skin will appear red , like a sunburn although not painful, for 1-3 days, on days 4-6 the skin will feel rough, like mild sandpaper, as it exfoliates. On day 7-10 your new smooth skin will be revealed. You can return to normal activity 1-2 days after your treatment.
Improvement will be seen 7-10 days post treatment as the skin feels smother and appears younger. As the treatment is building natural collagen this process takes a number of months so full results are seen 2-3 months after your final treatment. Whilst this does take time, the end result is permanent and not some temporary filler, it is also a natural result and appearance. In many cases it can restore your skin to how it was 8-10 years ago.
Makeup can be worn after a couple of days. Sun exposure should be avoided 4-6 weeks before and 3 months after treatment. SPF50 is recommended.
SmartXEL C02 fractional laser is one of the most effective methods of improving the appearance of both surgical scars and acne scars. The laser beams will break down the scar tissue, resurface the outer skin and rebuild collagen in the dermis to remodel and smooth out the acne scars.
The laser beam is divided or fractionated into an array of micro shafts of laser light that create tiny holes in the skin. The double pulse technology of SmartXEL then delivers a second pulse to heat the dermis causing fibroblasts to produce new collagen. Collagen provides structure, support and strength to the skin. Increased collagen thickens the skin, smoothing the surface lines, wrinkles or indentations.
At the Harrogate Clinic we offer an advanced protocol of combining SmartXEL C02 fractional laser with E50 exosomes. Exosomes are the latest innovation in skin rejuvenation. Derived from Salmon cells they can deliver a powerful cocktail of growth factors, proteins, lipids and nucleic acids.
They play a role in cell to cell communication and have been found to be powerful in stimulating skin regeneration and reducing inflammation . They can significantly reduce the downtime and improve results from CO2 fractional laser.
Smoking decreases collagen production, it constricts blood vessels near the skins surface preventing the delivery of oxygen and nutrients
Sugar attaches to proteins to form advanced glycation and causes collagen to become weak and brittle.
Exposure to ultraviolet light reduces collagen production and causes collagen to break down resulting in premature ageing of the skin.
