Laser Skin Resurfacing via DeepFX

Laser Skin Resurfacing

DeepFX is a fractional laser and skin resurfacing treatment that is designed to treat conditions that originate in the bottom most layers of the skin. It is used to treat deep wrinkles, burns, scars, and pores. Fractional lasers work by sending pulses of microscopic light into the skin, while leaving the surrounding skin intact and speeding up the healing process.

By penetrating deep into the skin, DeepFX laser skin resurfacing treatments will stimulate the production of collagen, which results in the improvement of wrinkles. Collagen is what gives the skin the appearance of fullness and smoothness. The amount of collagen that the body naturally produces begins to decline as we age which is what causes wrinkles to develop. Exposure to sun further depletes collagen. By resurfacing these imperfect areas of the skin, the body kicks into repair mode and begins to heal the area by producing brand new fresh collagen and more youthful skin leading to firmer more elastic and plump skin.

DeepFX treatments can also be used to improve the appearance of the skin when scarring is present. The collagen that is produced by the body in response to the heat from the laser will fill in the scars, including scars caused by acne.

At Torrey Pines Dermatology, these treatments are done in the comfort of our office in La Jolla, as an outpatient treatment. We take extra measures to ensure our patients have a pain-free laser treatment and are at ease throughout. After their appointment, patients can return to their everyday activities, but redness and mild swelling are to be expected for the first week. If you are located in or near the San Diego area and want to rejuvenate your skin, ask our staff about the DeepFX treatment. Our highly skilled team of professionals can determine if DeepFX laser skin resurfacing should be included in your customized treatment plan. Contact us today to schedule a consultation and learn more about how DeepFX can help you!

Benefits of Laser Skin Resurfacing

Laser skin resurfacing

Most Southern Californians spend more time than they should in the sun. Too often in our younger years, we spent too much time unprotected from the sun at the beach or on sports teams. Sunscreen, sun-protective clothing and broad-rimmed hats were not at the forefront of our minds. Sadly, our bodies never forget a single ray we have had and with time, these rays build up in our skin.

As time progresses, our skin starts to show some of the effects that spending so much time unprotected in the sun can bring. Sun spots, dark patches, wrinkles and an overall loss of elasticity in the skin start to appear. Thanks to modern technology, these defects are not permanent.

Laser skin resurfacing is a popular, well-respected procedure that has been shown to reduce the effects of aging and sun exposure. Time, testing and experience has proven that laser skin resurfacing is safe. The testimonies of thousands of individuals show that it is an effective and convenient way to address the aging process and excess sun exposure.

One of the reasons why people prefer laser skin resurfacing as compared to more invasive cosmetic procedures is because it is less invasive and downtime is minimal as compared to surgery. In addition, there is no better way to clear discoloration, tighten fine lines and wrinkles, remodel scar tissue and give one’s skin the opportunity to have baby-fresh new skin cells again. A lot of people refer to this procedure as “laser skin rejuvenation.” This is because once the procedure has been completed and sun-damaged skin cells have been removed, one’s face looks youthful and revitalized while still looking very natural. In addition, the cost is far less than more invasive surgical procedures that frequently cause patients to look “done.”

At Torrey Pines Dermatology, we pride ourselves on ensuring we pick the very best procedures for our patients’ individual skin types, so a complimentary consultation is essential to determine which procedure is right for you. You can be sure that whatever the procedure, we will ensure it is done with the least amount of discomfort and that any type of rejuvenation will still look natural.

Located in La Jolla and serving the San Diego and surrounding areas, Torrey Pines Dermatology is committed to helping you achieve an appearance you can be happy with. Contact our office today to schedule a complimentary consultation to learn more about the benefits of laser skin resurfacing.
