As today’s image-conscious population matures, greater numbers of our patients are seeking procedures to eradicate or minimize photo damaged skin and the ravages of time that cause skin to appear older. Dr. William LoVerme at Accurate Aesthetic Plastic Surgery located in Boston,MA (Wellesley) offers several technologies to meet the aesthetic needs of his patients, from the gold-standard of laser resurfacing with its broadened utility, to the latest generation of non-ablative skin treatments using Intense Pulsed Light, as well as the complementary finishing polish achieved with microdermabrasion techniques and lighter facial peels. These treatments are major components of our Q2 (Quality and Quantity) Facial Rejuvenation Concept.

Laser Skin Resurfacing

Dr. LoVerme began his experience with laser surgery during his residency in 1985. He was a founder and Co-Director of the Laser Institute of New England at the former Hahneman Hospital beginning in 1989. He has continued his interest and vast experience in laser resurfacing in his practice at Accurate Aesthetics Plastic Surgery.

Laser Resurfacing in the past was a procedure that had excellent results but had long healing times. With the advent of fractional laser resurfacing in 2008 laser therapy had a dramatic resurgence. Fraxel, Total FX, DOT therapy and MiXto laser are examples of these products. Laser has once again proved itself to be an ideal method for eliminating moderate to deep lines and creases due to aging and photodamage. Dr. LoVerme utilizes the ActiveFX and Deep FX CO2 laser technologies for an ideal minimal downtime peel.

Dr. LoVerme has found that laser skin resurfacing is a tried and true approach to skin rejuvenation removing layers of skin to correct fine lines and wrinkles, acne scars and smooth skin, soften pucker marks, and repair skin discoloration with a precise method. He has indicated the results of laser resurfacing to be quite dramatic and long-lasting.

With the use of the Lumenis UltraPulse Encore Dr. LoVerme has been able to broaden the applications for CO2 laser technology. This laser not only delivers superior tissue effects when treating moderate to deep wrinkles, but when performing with the ActiveFX it also addresses fine lines and uneven pigment. By producing a controlled superficial laser peel confined to the epidermis, the ActiveFX with CO2 Lite improves skin tone and surface imperfections with only minimal downtime. Unlike older lasers, this technique can also be used on the hands and neck and décolleté.

The new fractional CO2 laser by Lumenis is a non-sequential fixed-array scanning device which gives better results than fractional skin resurfacing devices according to many researchers. This is important because the laser lays down a series energy spots which do not build up excessive heat because they are not next to each other in the pattern. The DeepFX hand-piece is powered by Lumenis’ UltraPulse CO2 laser, the most powerful fractional laser on the market, delivering six times more energy (240 watts of power to tissue) than any other CO2 laser device. Lumenis’ unique pulsed delivery equates to speed and the least time spent on tissue. DeepFX with UltraPulse CO2 laser continues to lead the industry by limiting the damage delivered to the dermis, resulting in minimal downtime and a lower risk of complications. It has been featured on NBC’s The Today Show, ABC’s 20/20 as well as CBS and the FOX Network.

Your results

Laser resurfacing can restore your skin to a healthy state, similar to that of skin that has not experienced sun damage or scarring. With proper sun protection, results can continue for more than five years.

In areas where muscle activity is strong, lines may begin to reappear sooner. As skin continues to age at a normal rate, you may want to maintain results with a ‘touch-up’ resurfacing treatment. In any event, with cosmetic laser surgery you will have definitively ‘turned back the clock.’
