If you are interested in improving the appearance of skin on your face, neck, and chest and would like dramatic results without surgery, look no further than the ULTRApulse® Alpha CO2 laser by Lumenis. ULTRApulse® Alpha is the most advanced, customizable ablative laser skin resurfacing treatment available. This treatment is performed in our San Jose office by plastic surgeons Dr. David Boudreault, Dr. Brittany Leader and Dr. Nishant Ganesh Kumar.
Traditional CO2 lasers function by removing the full epidermis of the skin. Over time, new firmer and smoother skin replaces the old. The downside to this treatment, however, is that healing could take several weeks. The ULTRApulse® Alpha differs from traditional CO2 lasers by employing a series of fractional laser beams that are directed into the skin. While these beams of light affect the treated skin, the surrounding skin remains unaffected. In addition, the laser stimulates the production of new collagen deep within the skin, giving you a more youthful-looking appearance.
Illuminate Plastic Surgery’s dedication to providing our patients with the very latest in technology and treatment techniques.
The best part about San Jose ULTRApulse® Alpha CO2 laser resurfacing is that the treatment is completely customizable. Patients can achieve exceptional results clearing fine lines, deep creases and uneven skin tone in one or multiple treatments depending on the downtime they desire. Coupled with facial surgery, CO2 laser resurfacing enhances surgical results providing a 360 approach that includes restructring the skins surface. ULTRApulse® Alpha is performed in our operating room by our surgeons if a surgical grade laser is desired. With each pulse of the laser, energy beams penetrate the skin and remove old and damaged skin cells. Then, the body naturally builds healthy cells to take the place of cells that were cleared away. ULTRApulse® Alpha is quick and will take less than 30 minutesto perform.
Immediately following the treatment, the skin will look intensely red, feel hot like a severe sunburn and may ooze or swell. Recovery time from your San Jose ULTRApulse® Alpha CO2 treatment will depend entirely on how aggressive a treatment you receive. However, whatever options you choose, recovery will be much faster than you would see with a traditional CO2 laser. Deep treatments may require up to a week of recovery, but because results are often achieved in a single treatment, the overall downtime is typically minimal. When combined with a surgical procedure, recovery from the laser treatment generally occurs alongside your surgical healing.
San Jose ULTRApulse® Alpha coCO2 laser resurfacing effectively treats a wide range of common skin conditions. If you are struggling with the appearance of deep wrinkles and folds or sun-damaged skin, ULTRApulse® Alpha can do wonders.
