What Are the Benefits of UltraPulse CO2 Laser Treatments
The key benefits of UltraPulse CO2 skin resurfacing treatments include:
- Precision and Versatility: Smart scanners and a choice of full, fractional, and sub-ablative settings allow for customizable treatments aligned to individual patient skin types and concerns.
- Diminish Wrinkles, Scars and Sunspots: Deeper wrinkles, acne scars, sun damage and other skin texture imperfections can be eliminated or dramatically improved.
- Collagen Remodeling and Cell Renewal: Stimulates collagen production and skin cell renewal for a complexion that is more even and vibrant and skin that appears firmer and more youthful looking.
- Lasting Results: The results of UltraPulse can be long-lasting, provided you take proper care of your skin. Nourishing your skin everyday with high-quality moisturizers that contain antioxidants and diligently using sunscreen along with a hat or visor to avoid overexposure, is the best way to extend the results of your treatment.
Is UltraPulse CO2 Laser Right for Your Skin Type?
The treatment is most ideal for lighter skin tones (Fitzpatrick skin types I-III) because individuals with darker skin tones (types IV-VI) may be at higher risk for pigmentation issues, such as hyperpigmentation or hypopigmentation. However, with the right pre-treatment and post-care, it can still be a viable option for some patients with darker skin tones. It’s essential to have a consultation with Dr. Atencio to assess whether the UltraPulse CO2 skin rejuvenation is appropriate for your skin type.
Who Is an Ideal Candidate for UltraPulse CO2 Laser?
Candidates for UltraPulse skin rejuvenation treatments are individuals whose skin type, current skin condition and general health compatibility have been confirmed during a pre-treatment evaluation. Ideal candidates include those willing to commit to the necessary time for their skin to heal before returning their regular activity and beauty routines. UltraPulse can also help with skin tightening, making it an excellent choice for those with mild skin laxity. However, individuals with active skin infections, open wounds, or severe rosacea may not be suitable candidates until those issues are resolved.
Recovery and Downtime: UltraPulse CO2 vs. Traditional Carbon Dioxide Lasers.
The recovery and downtime with UltraPulse CO2 is shorter than with past carbon dioxide laser platforms due to the customizable settings. Instead of two to three weeks of downtime and significant skin peeling, with UltraPulse, patients typically require one to two weeks of downtime while their skin is healing and experience less skin shedding overall. Dr. Atencio’s experience with the platform ensures that every patient receives an effective treatment that addresses their concerns and has them back to their daily routine as soon as possible.
