Introduction
MediDerm® laser is a skin rejuvenation system that reduces wrinkles and skin imperfections. It gives skin a smoother and younger look. The laser delivers a controlled light wavelength that is appropriate for you. It creates a customized peel treatment efficiently. Your skin will immediately look refreshed and healthier.
MediDerm® Laser delivers a precise beam of light energy to the outer layer of skin. It can be used on the face, neck, chest, or hands. MediDerm® provides better results than other laser treatment methods. It is less invasive than chemical peels or ablative resurfacing lasers. This type laser would be considered a non-ablative laser which allows for a quicker healing.
Treatment
MediDerm® laser treatment is a short in-office procedure. The procedure is virtually painless and requires no anesthesia. The MediDerm® laser will be applied to the precise area of skin that you wish to have treated. Your skin may sting slightly for the first several hours following your treatment.
A layer of skin will completely peel in two to seven days. You may use a moisturizer or make-up to minimize the appearance of redness or exfoliating skin during this period. The completed peel exposes a new surface layer of skin that has a more even texture and presents a younger look.
