Smoothbeam Laser Skin Toning |

Upper lip wrinkles before and after laser treatment
Can the laser improve the wrinkles around my upper lip?
Laser skin toning for mild wrinkles especially around the upper lip can be very successful over several sessions, usually spaced about one month apart. The Smoothbeam laser gently heats the collagen fibers in the dermis, causing your cells to produce new collagen over a few weeks. There is no downtime with this laser, so you can have a treatment without telltale signs of redness or scabbing. If you can tolerate some downtime, the Active FX CO2 Fractional Laser can treat fine wrinkles over your entire face, neck and chest in just one treatment.
Are there any side effects?
It's important to avoid ultraviolet exposure for at least 3 weeks before and after a treatment since redness or blistering may occur with the combination of laser and UV light.
How long will the improvement last?
The collagen that's stimulated should last many years unless continued smoking or ultraviolet exposure damages it again. This is why a proper skin care regimen should be started before embarking on any rejuvenating regimen.
