Dr Macri was one of the first physicians to introduce this exciting new technology in the Bergen county area. Traditional CO2 resurfacing has always been the "gold standard" for Laser skin resurfacing. In this day and age with people's busy lifestyles the necessary down time is just not an option. Adding to the fact of the potential for complications and prolonged redness.
Fractionated CO2 uses this same tried and true technology, and delivers the results without pain and prolonged redness and swelling of traditional CO2 resurfacing. This technology works deeper in the dermis than Pixel erbium . The patient can expect redness for approximately three to five days and is able to return to their active lifestyle with a minimum of down time. Approximately 20 % of the skin surface is treated with each pass and Dr Macri is able to control the amount of downtime depending on amount of passes.
This technology works by creating thousands of microscopic perforations, but the skin around each of these perforations remains intact. This allows your skin's top layer to heal from the edge of these tiny holes very rapidly, which significantly improves your complexion.
The Laser passes through optics to penetrate the skin with tiny thermal channels, only as deep as a few sheets of paper. In each channel it creates a micro-injury, without disturbing the surrounding tissue. It is these thermal channels that create the heating effect in the synthesis of new collagen. Fractionated CO2 resurfacing: clears sun damaged skin smoothes fine lines and wrinkles, shrinks pores, fills acne scarring and blends uneven complexion.
These micro-injury sites (about 15-20 percent of the treatment area) start the process of healing. As collagen remodels, skin tightens and scars improve. The intact, undamaged skin around the treatment site is what promotes quicker healing for a faster recovery.
Fractionated (Pixel) CO2 resurfacing:
- clears sun damaged skin
- smoothes fine lines and wrinkles
- shrinks pores
- fills acne scarring
- blends uneven complexion
The Tightening effect works by contraction of collagen fibers reduces wrinkles and loose skin. Skin laxity is noticeably improved. The results of new collagen formation can be seen for up to six months. Best of all the effects are premanent.
Fractional (Pixel) Erbium Skin Resurfacing improves skin texture and tone, smooths finer wrinkles, and diminishes brown spots. Best of all Fractional ( Pixel)skin resurfacing does all this with no pain and minimal downtime. Providing the effective and dramatic results of ablative resurfacing treatments- without the prolonged healing period- this procedure combines the best of both worlds. Fractional (Pixel) skin resurfacing restores skin to its fresh, healthy state, generally allowing patients to resume their normal routine almost immediately.
Fractional (Pixel)resurfacing breaks up the laser energy into beams that only treat a portion of the skin's surface with each treatment. The beams send microscopic columns of energy into the skin that destroy the tissue , and the subsequent healing produces fresh skin that looks and feels softer and smoother. Fractional delivery systems dramatically reduce the down time as compared with their non- fractional counterparts (Erbium) since only a portion of the skin is affected with each treatment, but several sessions are usually required to address 100 percent of the skin's surface. Patients can expect redness are for
24- 48 hours and may return to their daily activities immediately. As new skin replaces dead tissue, your skin will flake, a sign that healing is underway. Your skin will look better immediately, and will steadily improve over the next few months
Dr Macri will determine the ideal treatment plan for your needs depending on the extent of correction and amount of down time that you life style commands.
Fractional (Pixel) skin resurfacing can be used on patients of most skin types anywhere on the body. Since this procedure spares healthy tissue, it can be performed on delicate skin areas, such as the face, neck, chest and hands
