I'm very excited to now be able to provide my patients with fractional CO2 laser resurfacing. The Active FX and Deep FX treatment systems are one-time treatments with minimal downtime. They can be done in the office with a topical anesthetic. They reduce wrinkling and fine lines, improve skin tone and texture, reduce hyperpigmentation, and stimulate new collagen growth which helps to revitalize the skin. The procedure takes about 45 minutes. The Deep FX treatment is more intense to correct even deeper wrinkles. It's also the best treatment I have found for acne scarring.

In order to prepare the skin properly for laser resurfacing, I have patients begin skin treatments with my aesthetician two weeks ahead of time. This allows us to ensure that the results are consistent and optimal.

Millions of Americans seek relief from the effects of an aging complexion: fine lines, wrinkles, age spots, and uneven skin tone. However, for today's more active population, the prolonged healing time involved with conventional laser or face-lift surgery is not appropriate.

For patients seeking a less invasive and highly effective skin rejuvenation treatment, Dr. Perlman's Advanced Plastic Surgery Centre now introduces the UltraPulse Encore, a skin resurfacing laser featuring a unique CO2 LiteTM setting that treats fine lines and mild pigment disorders with only one pass, for a faster recovery.

A single treatment with the UltraPulse Encore provides dramatic and immediate results, unlike other non-invasive technologies that treat wrinkles and spots individually or gradually over time. Resurfacing with the UltraPulse Encore does more than soften the appearance of imperfections; it can actually eliminate evidence of sun damage and aging, providing a comprehensive and long- lasting approach.

Patients are seeing numerous improvements in the quality of their skin with less down time, and excellent results. The beauty of this technology can achieve a refreshed, youthful looking face with less cost, risk and recovery time than conventional cosmetic surgery or deep laser resurfacing.

UltraPulse Encore featuring CO2 Lite was developed in response to a growing trend toward less invasive resurfacing procedures. The UltraPulse Encore is the first new CO2 laser to be introduced by Lumenis Ltd. since the introduction seven years ago of of the UltraPulse 5000C, widely regarded in the industry as the gold standard for laser facial resurfacing.
