Laser 360 Skin Rejuvenation




Laser 360 is a popular and very easy way to help improve a patients skin color, texture, tone and laxity. It uses 3 technologies, takes 60 days and offers a complete range of skin rejuvenation results. Laser 360 meets the key needs of an aging patients skin, and it can be customized to meet each patients specific needs. Use it to treat areas as the face, neck, chest hands, or anywhere the skin has been touched by age or photo-damage.


* Color with advanced fluorescence technology(AFT)- This treats superficial vascular and pigmented irregularities to improve a patients skin color. We recommend haveing a series of approximately 3-5 treatments.


* Texture and Tone- the pixel can also give you a more youthful appearence by using thfractional skin resurfacing laser. This consists of a series of treatments that are virtually pain free and require no downtime. This treatment stimulates new cells to replace aged and photo-damaged skin.


* Tightening- This procedure delivers deep dermal heating that induces neocollagenesis. A series of 6 treatments is needed, as it produces a tighter, fresher appearence- without pain or invasive procedures.

Pixel Post Treatment

Post treatment care:

*Day 1-2 keep your face cool by applying ice pack for 24 hours. After the first 24 hours, rotate between a warm pack and ice pack on your face. Spraying water on you face from a water bottle will also help keep your face feeling cool, as well as sitting in front of a fan. Only cleanse, moisturize and apply sunscreen for the next 7 days. Skin will appear red, and feel like a mild sunburn. You may apply makeup after 2-4 hours, as long as it is mineral makeup. On day 2, apply aquaphor to face.



*Day 3-5 skin may appear leathery and have slight flaking. Also swelling may occur in aggressively treated areas.



*Day 6-7 full recovery



----If you have extreme swelling and redness, you may apply----hydrocortisone with aloe vera and vitamin e. Please call us if you need this product and we will make an appointment for you to come in and pick it up.



***After day 7 it is good to schedule a ultrasonic facial or microdermabrasion********



The more aggressive the procedure, the worse you look during the week after treatment. The worse you look the better the outcome.

****Down time is decreased with subsequent treatments. Since this is an Erbium Laser patients with more moisture in their skin experience more redness and sensation and greater results in fewer treatments. Therefor a patient with dry skin may require more treatments.******



Post Laser/Light Treatment Care- Vascular/ Pigmented Lesions

2. Keep the area moist with Aloe Vera gel, or Aquaphor Healing Ointment until inflammation resolves and the area is healed.

3. Keep the area treated and out of the sun. If sun is unavoidable, cover with sun block SPF 40 for at least 4 weeks.

4. Keep clothing from rubbing the treated are and avoid other irritation to the area.

5. Do NOT use hairspray on or around the treated area!
