One of the most common concerns and commonly asked questions among patients considering aesthetic procedures is, “How long will it take to heal and recover?” For patients who want to achieve a younger appearance but have anxiety over typical aesthetic procedure recovery time, the newly developed CoolFrax™ Laser Treatment is likely to put their minds at ease.
Leveraging state-of-the-art technology, CoolFrax™ can achieve results without the inconvenience and discomfort of a lengthy recovery period.
“Patients who undergo a facelift or other facial surgeries can require 10 days to two weeks to recover,” said Dr. Simon Ourian, medical director. “Today, women lead fast-paced lives, and juggle families and careers and often don’t want to put their lives on hold for an aesthetic procedure. Additionally, it can be difficult to be discrete about having work done when procedures require extensive time to heal. Our patients love the CoolFrax™ Laser Treatment because it gives them the results they want and the ability to get back to their families, friends, jobs and day-to-day routines quickly.”
Developed by Epione Medical Corporation, a leading Beverly Hills-based aesthetic surgery center, the CoolFrax™ Laser Treatment reduces the appearance of aging by affecting small areas of the skin at a time with thousands of microscopic laser spots. During the procedure, aging and damaged skin is targeted, and the production of collagen and new, healthy skin cells is stimulated. The laser used offers patients the effect of ablative lasers, but with a gentler impact, resulting typically in an accelerated healing time.
Additionally, because the laser penetrates the non-living, outer layer of skin, leaving it completely untreated, make-up can sometimes be worn immediately following the procedure. Some patients may even return to work and social obligations on the same day.
“Aesthetic procedures should help to enhance your life, not halt it,” said Dr. Ourian. “At Epione, we use the latest technological advancements to ensure patients get great results, a positive experience and an opportunity to enjoy their new appearance as quickly as possible.”
