Fractional CO2 Laser

Fractional laser resurfacing is a cutting-edge tool used to renew aging and sun damaged skin. The Affirm is so remarkable in its results that it changes the science and art of cosmetic surgery. This revolutionary technology non ablatively rejuvenates skin with little to no downtime! Because the Affirm Fractional Laser is non ablative no tissue is vaporized during the treatment, however like a CO2 Fractional laser, the skin is stimulated very deeply in order to stimulate collagen production and skin tightening.

How Does It Work? 

The Affirm laser intensively creates a micro-thermal treatment zone while leaving surrounding healthy tissue unaffected. Additionally, the growth of new collagen is initiated, which helps replace old, problem tissue with new, firmer skin on the face, neck, chest, arms, and hands. Unlike other fractional lasers, Affirm uses two distinct wavelengths or colors of light to penetrate very deeply, which provides deep collagen heating and tissue tightening. 

What To Expect 

  • No oral medications are needed. Application of a topical anesthetic is applied in office prior to your treatment time. 

  • For an Affirm™ treatment, you can expect to be at the office for ½ hour to 1 hour. 

  • For optimum benefits, 3 to 6 treatments are required over the course of 3 to 6 months. 

After Treatment 

  • Heat may remain in the skin for 1 hour, mild redness and some epidermal swelling can be present immediately post treatment. 

  • Within about a week, you may see the first signs of skin rejuvenation, with noticeable improvements at around 2 months. 

  • During the course of your treatment, and for at least 3 months following your final procedure, you should be conscientious to use a sunscreen of SPF 30 or higher. 

  • You can continue to wear cosmetics during the time between treatments. We do recommend mineral based powder makeups. 

When considering these procedures please be sure to schedule 4-6 weeks prior to any special event or extended travel plans.
