Laser Skin Science That Delivers Dramatic Results

The effects of time, sun, pollution, stress and fatigue add up to keeping your skin from looking as young as you feel. The solution is here. With revolutionary Fraxel re:storeTM laser technology, Dr. Conn will help you to restore your skin to its natural, original, radiant glow.

As a pioneer in the field of lasers and a scientific advisor for the development of Fraxel laser technology, Dr. Conn teaches doctors from around the world on the use of this revolutionary technology. Unlike any other laser treatments, using the Fraxel re:storeTM laser, Dr. Conn is able to precisely treat thousands of microscopic areas using pinpoint laser beams that penetrate beneath the skin's surface to eliminate old damaged skin and stimulate the body's own natural healing process which replaces the old skin with fresh, glowing, healthy, collagen-rich skin.

 

Dr. Conn's personal journey in search of the "perfect" laser:
"I always told you that you would be the first to know..."

Until now the CO2 laser has been the gold standard for reversing the ravages of age and sun on facial skin. Finally, after 10 years I wish to tell you about an entirely new laser system, called Fraxel re:storeTM that reduces wrinkles and brown spots and restores brightness and luster, all without downtime.

Since I was Chief of Ocular Plastic Surgery at Beckman Laser Institute, I have been fortunate to be on the forefront of cosmetic laser research. In addition to serving as a consultant to laser companies, I have traveled around the globe to personally investigate the latest technology in skin rejuvenation. I was never satisfied with the so-called no downtime procedures because I felt they produced no significant lasting results.

All that changed in 2003 when I was introduced to a group of leading scientists at Reliant Technologies, Inc. in Palo Alto, including Dr. Len DeBenedictis, who has worked in the laser development field for more than

30 years. I was asked to use my expertise as a laser cosmetic surgeon and as a research scientist to evaluate the efficacy of their laser. I was impressed.

Working with Dr. Rox Anderson at Wellman Laboratories at Harvard, DeBenedictis and company scientists developed a method for regenerating skin using fractional patterns, or microscopic spots spread out like the tiny pixels in a photograph.

 

The end product is a laser and supporting software that is safe on all skin colors and treats brown spots, lines, and wrinkles on the face, neck, chest and hands but does not require general anesthesia. The treatment creates enough inflammation to stimulate collagen producing and thereby produces long lasting significant reversal of the aging process.

I was asked to sign on as a scientific advisor and I did. One year later, after many trials and refinement my wife and I underwent spot treatments with the laser so that I could see for myself the comfort level, recovery time and efficiency. The results that I had seen on their patient sampling were confirmed by my own experience.

I have always said that I would let you know when I found a laser that could not only deliver what it promised, but to do so in a comfortable manner for the patient and allow the patient to renew all of their activities the next day.

I look forward to seeing you soon.

Howard Conn, M.D.

How many treatments will I need to see a result?

After the first treatment you will begin to see a marked difference in your skin's tone and texture. However, Dr. Conn 's experience shows that most patients need 4 treatments to experience the full benefit of turning back the clock on aging, damaged skin. These treatments are typically spaced at least 3 weeks apart.

 

Does this treatment hurt?

Dr. Conn and his staff do everything possible to keep you comfortable during the
treatment. Topical anesthesia is applied before the procedure and cold air is used on the treated area to minimize any discomfort. After the treatment you will feel a slight stinging feeling that is similar to a sunburn. This feeling usually dissipates in 30 to 60 minutes.

 

What side effects can I expect after the treatment and
how long will they last?

You will have some degree of redness and swelling. This is
actually good as it indicates that the Fraxel energy has reached
deep into the dermis and that you are in the process of
reformulating new collagen. Other temporary side effects may
include minor itching, dry skin, exfoliation and a bronzed skin
appearance. These are temporary and last for only a few days.

After your first treatment, our staff will give you specific instructions on the care of your skin and show you the best products that you can use for the maintenance and protection of your skin.

  

Do I need to stay out of the sun after a treatment?

It is advisable that you avoid the sun as much as possible for the first few months. However, living in sunny, Southern California , it is impossible to avoid the sun in
its entirety. Dr. Conn recommends that to compensate for our wonderful weather, you simply wear a broad-rimmed hat, sun glasses and specially formulated SPF 60 sun screen.

 

How long can I expect that the results will last?

The answer to this question depends on you. With this revolutionary technology, Dr. Conn can literally turn back the hands of the time on your skin. How you treat your skin and take care of yourself will determine how long your results last. We will advise you on the best care and treatment of your skin to maximize the effects of your treatments and to keep your glowing results.
