Medical and\ntechnological advances have led to the development of skin rejuvenation\ntreatments that are increasingly customizable to the patient. While talented\nphysicians have always taken an individual\u2019s unique characteristics and goals\ninto account when administering a cosmetic treatment, modern options are more\nable to accommodate specific preferences than ever before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One of the best\nexamples of this is Sciton Halo\u2122, a versatile fractional\nlaser treatment. In Naples<\/a> and Marco Island at Skin Wellness\nPhysicians, Drs. Daniel Wasserman and Anne Marie Tremaine use the device\ndesigned to combine the rejuvenating effects of two types of light-based\ntreatments\u2014ablative and non-ablative\u2014into one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ablative laser treatments remove the outermost\nlayer of skin, exfoliating what is known as the stratum corneum of the\nepidermis so that dead skin cells are taken away and younger, fresher skin is\nrevealed. This strategy is ideal for treating superficial signs of aging and\nsun damage, such as spots and fine lines, as well as redness and dullness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Non-ablative laser treatments have a deeper\nfocus, with the light energy passing through the surface. Cells farther down in\nthe skin convert this energy into heat, which causes collagen to even out in a\nprocess known as remodeling. The heat also prompts new collagen production for\na smoother, more youthful look. The results from this treatment can become\nincreasingly apparent over weeks, or even months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n With Sciton Halo\u2122, patients do not have to\nchoose between one strategy or the other. The laser can be adjusted to be more\nintense for a few aggressive treatments or less intense for a longer series of\ngentler sessions. This customization allows patients to determine their\nrecovery time, results, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Anyone interested in pursuing these customized\nresults should choose only highly trained and well-regarded providers. Even the\nmost sophisticated and automated devices require a person to operate them.\nDermatologists and their teams are especially qualified due to their skin-focused\neducation, training, and experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Drs. Wasserman and Tremaine at Skin Wellness Physicians<\/a> both\ncompleted a fellowship at Harvard Medical School, in the very laboratory where\nthe two most common laser technologies used for rejuvenation efforts were\ninvented and developed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It is important to understand that the use of\nlaser technologies is regulated by the state of Florida and limited to\nphysicians and supervised physician assistants and nurse practitioners. Sciton Halo\u2122\ntreatments should be performed only by medical professionals experienced with\ntheir use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
