Dr. Baker uses the Sciton® JOULE laser system in his practice. This system offers an unprecedented array of laser and light technology. As a result, the Sciton® JOULE allows Dr. Baker the maximum versatility to provide the widest range of aesthetic and surgical procedures available from a single platform.
The MicroLaserPeel removes a thin layer of damaged skin to improve texture and provide a more youthful appearance. Removing the top layer eliminates some of the damaged cells that can give skin a tired, aged look. As the skin heals, fresh cells grow and resurface in the treated area. The result is healthier-looking skin, often with reduced wrinkles and improved color and texture. MicroLaserPeel can treat mild wrinkles, scars, keratosis, sun damage and pigment irregularities.
You will notice an immediate improvement in skin texture and tightness after a MicroLaserPeel treatment. Depending on the depth of treatment, most patients feel comfortable enough to return to work within 2 to 3 days. You may benefit from a series of treatments rather than just one. Dr. Baker will work with you to create an individualized treatment plan.
ProFractional™ Therapy is a quick and comfortable laser procedure with minimal downtime. It is used to improve the overall appearance of the skin. ProFractional uses a tiny laser beam to treat thousands of pinpoint areas of the skin. Because only a fraction of the skin is treated with the laser, the surrounding, untreated tissue promotes rapid healing. The skin’s wound healing response creates new collagen which adds firmness and resilience to the skin.
Excellent results can be obtained in just one treatment, though the number of treatments may vary from patient to patient. Dr. Baker can personalize a plan based on your specific needs. ProFractional is often combined with MicroLaserPeel for a more enhanced results.
BroadBand Light (BBL) is an innovative technology that sets new standards for skin conditions associated with aging, active lifestyles and sun damage. Light energy of the BBL is used to treat pigmented lesions, such as freckles and sunspots, vascular lesions, small blood vessels on the face, and acne. Any area of the body can be treated. The most popular areas are the face, neck, hands, chest and shoulders.
You may experience some redness that should resolve within a few hours. For pigmented lesions, you will see darkening of the treated area followed by fading and flaking off at a later stage. This is a noninvasive and gentle procedure with virtually no downtime. In most cases, you are able to apply makeup and return to work.
Rejuvenate your skin quickly, safely and effectively with the revolutionary SkinTyte™ intense pulse light procedure. SkinTyte™ tightens and renews collagen within the skin to produce a younger, firmer appearance. The most commonly treated areas include the face, neck, abdomen, and arms.
SkinTyte™ technology uses infrared energy to gently heat the skin's collagen. Powerful cooling keeps the skin surface cool while the dermal collagen is selectively heated, so patients feel minimal discomfort. After the SkinTyte™ procedure, the treated collagen contracts slightly, tightening and remodeling the collagen in the skin for a naturally rejuvenated look. Treatments are fast and comfortable. You may apply makeup and sunscreen and resume normal activities with no downtime. SkinTyte is a noninvasive approach to firmer skin.
Whether for hygienic or cosmetic reasons, women and men who are tired of temporary, often painful methods of removing unwanted hair on the face, back, legs or other body areas may welcome hair removal using Sciton® BBL technology.
BroadBand Light energy targets dark pigments in the hair follicles beneath the skin's surface destroying the follicles and preventing hair growth.
Multiple treatments are required for complete hair removal. Treatments are needle-free and do not require anesthesia. Most patients feel nothing more than a slight sting like the snap of a rubber band. The staff of Dothan Plastic Surgery will be happy to answer your questions concerning hair removal.
