We call it sun damage, you call it premature ageing, broken capillaries, wrinkles, pigmentation variations, freckles, age/liver spots, large pores and skin cancers. Wrinkles are a direct result of UV damage, usually at an early age. With this type of laser treatment, much of the damage caused by the sun can be reversed.

Prevention
People exposed to the sun in childhood will tend to have looser skin because of sun induced collagen losses. The performance of the gentle laser treatment In late 20's or early 30's will help prevent the appearance of wrinkles in later years.

After wrinkles are already in place, gentle laser treatment can still help. The degree of improvement will depend on the number of wrinkles and skin thickness. In general, thin skin responds better than thick skin. This is because in areas where the skin is thicker such as upper lip or naso-labial fold more repair needs to take place and it takes longer to see the results. It may also take more than one laser treatment because the lines are deeper and more stimulation to build collagen needs to take place.

The ideal time for laser treatment, therefore is when wrinkles first begin to appear, such as in late 20's or early 30's. An ounce of prevention can save a lot of face! Proper skin care is also important to help prevent premature ageing (Click here to see Scheibner Center Skincare products).
