Where to get fractional laser & resurfacing in California

The use of fractional lasers in dermatology is a progressive method of skin rejuvenation. You may also hear this process called fractional photothermolysis. “Fractional” simply means a small amount, and the word “photothermolysis” is literally derived from “light, heat, destruction.” Thus, a fractional laser directs a specific wavelength of light to a very defined area, at a microscopic level. As the light is absorbed, the energy produces enough heat to destroy the target, leaving surrounding tissue untouched.

You’ve probably seen a digital photograph enlarged to the point where the individual pixels become noticeable. Imagine this technology as a laser so advanced that it can treat individual pixels. Only those problematic skin cells are destroyed, so recovery time is greatly reduced. As the body naturally replaces the targeted cells with fresh, healthy ones, your beautiful new complexion emerges.

Under the care of a qualified, board certified dermatologist like Dr. M. Christine Lee, fractional laser resurfacing can be an ideal choice for treating a variety of skin conditions:

• Acne scars.
• Melasma – discoloration that often occurs during pregnancy.
• Fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes.
• Freckles, sun damage, and age spots.
• Rough texture or uneven skin tone.
• Enlarged pores and some types of birthmarks.

A number of practitioners in California are now offering this technique. Before you undergo laser-resurfacing, take some time to be sure you are in good hands. Find out if the treatment is administered by a technician or by the doctor. Ask what special training the doctor has had, and if he or she is certified by the American Board of Dermatology. Look into what lasers the facility utilizes, and how much experience the doctor has in using each type. Ask for frank information on how the procedure is done, aftercare, and possible complications.

Then call The Skin and Laser Treatment Institute and ask the same questions. You’ll be hard pressed to find a dermatologist whose laser expertise matches Dr. Lee’s.
