Wrinkle Treatment Procedure
Some believe wrinkles show wisdom. Others not so much. If you are a member of the latter category, wrinkles, large pores and acne scars can feel like a constant frustration. Take heart; there is a solution.
The Affirm Laser is a revolutionary way to enhance collagen synthesis in the skin. This laser wrinkle treatment causes improvements in fine lines, decreases pore size, helps with overall skin tone and has also been shown to improve scars.
The Affirm Laser is a major breakthrough in non-ablative cosmetic lasers for microthermal skin rejuvenation, wrinkle reduction and acne scars. Impressive wrinkle treatment results may also be seen with stretch marks, surgical scars, traumatic scars and keloids (an over-growth of scar tissue). This wrinkle treatment procedure is done in Dr Klainer's office and requires no anesthesia with no downtime. Makeup can be applied immediately after wrinkle treatments if desired, and all activities can be resumed without delay. The hands and chest may also be treated with the Affirm Laser to improve both skin tone and texture.
The Affirm Laser is able to deliver what Fraxel® and other "fractional" lasers are not able to do - comparatively painless treatments, shorter treatment durations (10-30 minutes) and virtually no downtime. The vast majority of wrinkle treatment patients do not even require topical anesthesia and resume normal activity the very next day.
