Dr. Reza Tabriz, a cosmetic surgeon, can improve your appearance as well as your outlook by helping your skin look fresh and feel silky soft again. The fractional CO2 laser can renew your skin with very little downtime. Dr. Tabriz has years of specialized training and experience performing carbon dioxide laser skin resurfacing treatments.

 

Dr. Tabriz makes it practically effortless to have skin that looks young and healthy, with limited time requiring time out for recovery. He uses a fractional CO2 laser on areas like the face, neck, décolletage, and hands, to give her patients a variety of improvements including:

 

 

 

• Minimizing enlarged pores
  Smoothing away wrinkles, fine lines, and superficial scars
  Correcting uneven pigmentation, including sun spots and age spots
• Tightening the skin

Laser skin rejuvenation treatments give patients from San Francisco Bay Area effective facial rejuvenation. Results can be even more impressive through a combination of other quick and effective "no downtime" treatments, including BOTOX® Cosmetic injections, dermal fillers, other lasers, skin care, and Thermage radiofrequency skin tightening.

 

 

 

The fractional CO2 laser works much like the standard CO2 laser except that it affects only discrete, pinpoint columns of the skin, leaving alternating areas unaffected. The laser's heat energy instantly treats the wrinkles, pigmentation, and other targeted conditions while it causes existing collagen to tighten. The laser also stimulates collagen production for continued improvements in skin tone and texture for months.

 

These minimally-invasive treatments are virtually pain free and can produce a sunburned look of redness for about 2 to 5 days. Some patients experience mild peeling as well. Depending on the condition of your skin and your enhancement goals, Dr. Tabriz will customize your treatment by adjusting the density and depth of the laser.

Similar to other cosmetic procedures, laser face lifts also carry some forms of possible risks and complications. Some possible problems that can arise from using lasers is the chance of an infection, discoloration and possible scarring. Usually, local anesthesia is used for laser face lifts; this can also be a possible complication if you are allergic. General anesthesia is only used to treat large skin areas, which also carries potential risks.

After a laser face lift, patients will experience many changes in their skin. Crusting, bright pink skin and skin lightening will be experienced. After a few months, the newly healed skin will look tighter, healthier and fresher. The treated areas may have a slight color difference at first, but as your skin pigment comes back it will even out to your regular skin tone.

Since the treated areas experienced skin rejuvenation and exfoliation, they may be lighter and fairer looking than untreated areas. After a few days, there are some patients that feel skin soreness and irritation. They may also feel light pains that can be addressed by pain pills and over-the-counter drugs. Patients are also expected to do as the surgeons advised. The may be requested to avoid direct exposure to sun light after the lift. Direct sun exposure may result to unwanted skin discoloration.

After the skin heals, majority of the results will become visible. The areas treated with the laser will look noticeable more smoother and rejuvenated. Certain issues such as deep scars that have penetrated the epidermis layer of the skin cannot be changed with laser treatment. Laser Face Lift treatment is ideal for fine lines, wrinkles and saggy skin.
