Non Invasive Treatments: Fraxel Laser And Zerona Laser
Posted in Health on October 12th, 2010 by Jim – Comments OffThere are now an increasing number of laser based solutions for cosmetic surgery. This is because laser technology is able to treat the targeted areas without needing for open surgery, thus opening up the field for more non invasive treatments. Patients prefer such options as the experience is painless and there is also less chances of leaving any surgical scars. Currently, there are laser based options for different cosmetic surgery areas including skin resurfacing, stretch mark removal etc. Among these different options, two of the more popular choices are fraxel laser and zerona laser. For those who wanted to know about these treatments, you will find a summary guide below.
Zerona laser is type of body contouring technique that only been approved by the FDA in 2009. This new treatment uses an interesting twist in its fat removal process. Instead of surgery, zerona laser deploys advanced laser technology to stimulate the movement of the fatty acids in our body such that they will move into the spaces between normal cells. The aim of doing so is to allow these fatty acids to be naturally removed via our body’s organic discharge. Unlike traditional liposuction, zerona laser does not require any recovery period as patients have no physical wounds to recover from.
Another popular laser treatment is fraxel laser. It uses micro laser beams to first create tiny wounds in a network of proteins called collagen and elastin that lies underneath the outer skin. The purpose is to stimulate our natural healing system such that it will produce more collagen and elastin during the period when it is healing the wounds. For those who might not be aware, these two proteins are what maintains the tightness and the youthfulness of our skin and they need to constantly replaced if you want your skin to be looking good.
