Laser Resurfacing
At WINK Aesthetics by Atlantic Eye in Monmouth County, we offer state-of-the-art laser skin resurfacing treatments performed by highly skilled, board-certified physicians. Dr. Ronald W. Kristan and Dr. Jonathan Kristan bring unparalleled expertise in facial rejuvenation, ensuring precise and individualized care for every patient.
Laser resurfacing is an advanced cosmetic procedure that uses focused light beams to improve skin texture and appearance.
Our state-of-the-art facility in Monmouth County proudly features the UltraClear® laser by Acclaro, with its revolutionary 3DMIRACL™ cold fiber laser technology. UltraClear® is not a CO2 laser, but it provides comparable results with multiple advantages over CO2 lasers, including speed, comfort, and significantly less downtime. This cutting-edge technology offers impressive laser resurfacing treatment results to treat wrinkles and moderately deep lines in the face and rejuvenate the appearance by getting rid of dead skin cells.
UltraClear® is a groundbreaking erbium laser resurfacing technology that offers a powerful yet gentle approach to skin rejuvenation. This innovative system utilizes laser energy from a unique 2910 nm Erbium-doped fluoride fiber laser to deliver precise and customizable treatments for a wide range of skin concerns.
UltraClear® emits short, highly concentrated laser light beams that specifically target water molecules in the skin. This precision allows for the gentle removal of the uppermost layers of dull, damaged, or aged skin cells. The process is so precise that it can be likened to peeling away the layers of an onion, revealing the fresher, healthier skin beneath. As the laser removes these damaged layers, it triggers the body's natural healing response. This stimulation prompts the skin to produce new, healthy cells, effectively renewing the skin's surface. The result is a smoother, more even complexion with improved texture and tone.
Laser resurfacing effectively treats:
While most commonly used on the face, laser resurfacing can also treat the neck, chest, hands, and other areas with signs of aging or sun damage. In addition, laser skin resurfacing reduces facial wrinkles, active acne, acne scars, age-related blemishes, and other minor facial flaws.
Ideal candidates for laser skin resurfacing have:
Patients with very dark skin tones may need to consider alternative treatments, as laser resurfacing can cause pigmentation changes. During your consultation, Dr. Ronald or Dr. Jonathan Kristan will assess your skin and help determine if laser resurfacing is right for you.
What sets UltraClear® apart is its ability to simultaneously work on deeper layers of the skin and surrounding tissue. The laser deposits controlled thermal energy at precise depths within the dermis, the layer of skin beneath the surface. This carefully calibrated heat stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, two crucial proteins responsible for skin's firmness and elasticity. The UltraClear® laser offers several unique benefits
By choosing WINK Aesthetics by Atlantic Eye for your laser skin resurfacing treatment, you're opting for the latest in laser technology combined with the expertise of our board-certified physicians. We're committed to providing safe, effective laser treatments that deliver exceptional results.
The 2910 nm wavelength allows for the exact targeting of water in the skin, enabling effective treatment with minimal damage to surrounding tissues.
Our skilled physicians can adjust the laser beam's settings to provide tailored treatments ranging from gentle "cold ablation" to more intensive laser skin resurfacing work, depending on your specific needs and goals.
The thermal energy delivered to treated skin by UltraClear® kickstarts the skin's natural collagen and elastin production processes. As these proteins increase, they plump the skin from within, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and improving overall skin texture and firmness.
The UltraClear® laser's advanced technology often results in faster healing times than traditional CO2 lasers, allowing you to return to normal activities sooner.
This same laser therapy can effectively treat many skin concerns, including fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, sun damage, and uneven skin texture.
The UltraClear® laser's unique "cold ablation" technology means treatments can be performed with minimal discomfort, often requiring only topical anesthesia.
After your laser resurfacing treatment, you can expect some redness and swelling that typically lasts 3-7 days. During this initial recovery period, applying the prescribed ointments to aid in the healing process is crucial.
To protect your newly treated skin, avoid sun exposure and diligently use broad-spectrum sunscreen when outdoors. Following our detailed aftercare instructions is essential for achieving optimal results. While most patients can return to normal activities within a week, complete healing may take several weeks. During this time, you'll likely notice gradual improvements in your skin's texture and appearance as the healing process continues.
You'll notice improvements in skin texture and tone within days of treatment. As your skin continues to heal and produce new collagen, the results will become more pronounced over the following months. With proper skin care and sun protection, the results of laser resurfacing can last for years.
The number of treatments depends on your skin concerns and the type of laser used. Some patients achieve desired results with a single treatment, while others may benefit from a series of treatments.
We use topical anesthetics to ensure your comfort during the laser procedure. Most patients describe the sensation as a mild tingling or warmth.
