Spa 7 Cosmetic & Laser Center, located inside Burke Williams Day Spa, now offers CO2 laser skin resurfacing treatments with the SmartXide DOT (Dermal Optical Thermolysis) laser system in Pasadena and the Pixel CO2 OMNIFIT system in West Hollywood. For the patient with deeper wrinkling and skin damage, these CO2 laser treatments are the gold standard, offering patients an alternative to the old CO2 technology, with minimal downtime, rapid healing and remarkable results.
With technological advances in the last 10 years, the CO2 laser has become the most popular tool for skin resurfacing. The newest CO2 lasers emit energy to targeted areas on the face, neck and decolletage, and effectively treat sun damage, wrinkles, fine lines, and acne scarring. Spa 7 Medical Director, esteemed plastic surgeon, Dr. Brian M. Kinney, chose these laser systems because of their fractional application in which it selectively applies the light beam in a customized pattern of tiny, micron-sized dots, rather than over the entire skin surface. With the fractional treatment, the ongoing healing and rebuilding process occurs deeper in the dermis lessening the downtime from a few weeks to a few days, while experiencing dramatic improvement in skin texture and skin laxity, pigmentation, wrinkles and acne scars.
This laser facelift treatment is relatively fast, with only a topical anesthetic needed. Due to its fractional technology, each treatment is customizable to treat multiple issues at once and provides the controller with choice and flexibility. It may be used on the entire face, including the eyelids. Because post-treatment care is equally important as the treatment itself, Spa 7 includes a post care kit in the price of the CO2 treatment. This kit includes everything a guest will need to effectively and efficiently care for the skin as the healing process progresses. After 5-7 days of the skin appearing sun-blistered, the skin will look and feel tighter, smoother and more uniform in appearance, with full results expected in a matter of months.
