Laser Skin Therapies - Vasculight™ and Photorejuvenation™ A Women's Health and Pregnancy Center is proud to introduce a full line of laser-based cosmetic procedures: Vasculight™, the laser hair, vein and tattoo removal system and the new FotoFacial™, the skin-damage removal system. Vasculight™ treats unwanted hair, varicose and spider veins, and tattoos. FotoFacial™ removes sun-damaged skin, pigmentation problems, age and liver spots, fine lines, freckles, small facial veins and redness from rocasea, and roughly textured skin.  The Laser Skin Therapy procedures offered at A Women's Health and Pregnancy Center will eliminate many of the cosmetic skin problems for a fraction of the cost of many cosmetic surgical procedures.

All of the Laser Skin Therapy procedures performed at A Women's Health and Pregnancy Center using the Vasculight™ and the FotoFacial™ equipment are non-invasive; the procedures do not require incisions, injections and are virtually pain-free. In fact, you can return to your daily routine immediately after any procedure. Several treatments may be needed for certain types of skin and hair problems, but the results are astounding. 

Microdermabrasion™
Microdermabrasion™ is a form of exfoliation developed to rid the skin of impurities and imperfections. For decades cosmetic surgeons and cosmologists used chemical creams and peels to slough off the epidermis (top layer of skin) and the imperfections that are contained in/on it. The results varied, but for the most part were successful. Due to the discomfort and recuperative time needed for the skin to heal after the chemical peels along with the time needed for the patient to resume regular activities, the peels were reserved for patients who had the money to spend for the procedure and the free time to recuperate. 

In the early 1990's chemical skin peeling was replaced with peels using fruit acids, which are less harsh to the skin. Dermabrasion was also being implemented at this time, which used a devise to remove the top layer of skin. This process eliminated age spots and sun damage, fine lines and wrinkles, blemishes and scars. Although successful, these procedures were often painful and required several days or weeks for the skin to recover before the benefits could be seen and enjoyed. 

The latest advancement, a variation on the machine-driven dermabrasion, delivers aluminum-oxide crystals to the skin's top layer and gently abrades or removes damaged skin cells. The removed skin cells and the abrasive crystals are then removed to reveal healthy skin. This is the process of Microdermabrasion™. 

Microdermabrasion™ has shown to improve skin that is damaged by sun and age, removing fine lines and wrinkles and complexions dulled by exposure to the elements. This process has also been proven to remove minor (superficial) scarring due to acne, injury or surgery. Patients notice a softening of skin texture leaving the skin radiant and "rosy." 

Patients can expect to have multiple treatments for most skin problems; two or three treatments for simple skin-resurfacing and four or more treatments for more complex skin problems (scarring, acne, and wrinkling). The treatment, however, is less painful and requires little or no recovery time unlike earlier versions of dermabrasion. In most cases, patients can return to their daily routine with minimal disruption. Multiple treatments should be scheduled at least two weeks apart as to not irritate the skin. 

Doctors Logan and Huckaby at A Women's Health and Pregnancy Center have received extensive training in Microdermabrasion™ and other skin-resurfacing techniques and offer the highest level of care in performing these procedures. It should be understood though that Microdermabrasion™ is a medical and cosmetic procedure with no guarantees to eliminate every skin problem. As a patient, you will be counseled on the advantages and disadvantages of the system and, depending on your skin problem, the expectations for the treatment. It is important to realize that this system does not work miracles, but it can unlock a radiant and beautiful complexion hiding under layers of damaged skin. 

Call A Women's Health and Pregnancy Center today to make an appointment to see Dr. Bradley S. Logan or Dr. Janice B. Huckaby to discuss Microdermabrasion™ or any of the other Medical Laser Therapies offered at A Women's Health and Pregnancy Center.
