around your eyes and lips will soften as a result. Your

results. You will notice long term improvement in your skin
texture and tone.

How does ThermaScan
work?
ThermaScan treatment uses an infrared laser
to rejuvenate your skin from the inside out. The laser energy
delivered by the ThermaScan penetrates into the upper layers of
skin. The energy absorbed by the targeted areas stimulates the
fibroblast cells in your skin to begin generating collagen.
Collagen and elastin fibers continue to multiply after your
treatment, and you will see improving results over the months
ahead. This treatment helps restore your skin to its natural
beauty, making it softer, smoother and more vibrant.
What areas can be
treated?
ThermaScan therapy is effective on all skin
types and tones. The most common areas those most exposed to
the damaging effects of the sun light and wind. The most
popular treatments are for the face, around the eyes, mouth and
cheeks.
How many treatments will I
need?
Clinical studies suggest that at least two
treatments are needed to stimulate new collagen growth and most
people will begin to see benefits by the fourth treatment.
Doctors may recommend regular touch-up treatments to sustain the
continued growth of new collagen as you age.
How long will it take to
recover?
There is virtually no downtime associated
with the procedure. After a session, the area treated may
appear red for about an hour. However, makeup can immediately
be applied. No wound is created, therefore, no healing time is
required.
What should I expect after the
treatment?
Typically you will experience some redness
that should resolve within a few hours. Results vary depending
on your condition, number of treatments and area treated. Your
physician will provide you with complete information about the post
treatment effects and results.
Will it be
uncomfortable?
ThermaScan laser treatment is gentle and
non-invasive. There should be minimal discomfort. You
may feel a warming of the skin or a rubber band snap like sensation
as the procedure is performed. However, this varies from
patient to patient and depends on the depth of the treatment.
A topical anesthetic cream can be used on extra-sensitive
areas. However, no injections are needed.
What will happen during the
procedure?
It is important to follow your physican's
instructions. You may be given some skin care products and
instructions on how to use them. This will minimize your risk
of inflammation or redness and ensure the shortest recovery
time. You must avoid direct sun exposure. Fully cover
your skin or use a good sunscreen whenever you go outdoors.
