Non-Surgical Aesthetic Lasers

2007-09-26T13:40:20-04:00

Join a live, interactive, 90-minute demonstration on the evaluation and treatment of the aging face using non-surgical aesthetic lasers. The session will be hosted by Dr. Donald Groot and Dr. Richard Green. The program will begin with a description of the aging face followed by a brief overview of laser physics. Physicians will demonstrate laser treatments on real patients and describe several clinical approaches to achieve skin rejuvenation. Specific subjects will include: facial vascular conditions, pigmented lesions, facial wrinkles, uneven skin texture, skin tightening--and a new skin resurfacing wavelength that provides full epidermal turnover with minimal patient downtime in only one or two 15-minute treatments.
