Many patients who enter the Pacifica Cosmetic Surgery Center looking and feeling more tired and older than they would like, walk out with a whole new outlook on life. Best of all, the process is quick, virtually painless and highly effective.

What is the secret to our success (and our patients’ happiness)? Laser skin renewal treatments. Our Cynosure® Affirm™ CO2 LaserSkinRenewal system helps to reverse the normal signs of aging and sun damage by minimizing skin discolorations, wrinkles and photo aging. The lasers help stimulate the production of collagen on the skin to aid in tissue tightening and helping the skin appear more youthful.

How long does the process take?

Laser skin renewal treatments can take 15-30 minutes, depending on the area(s) to be treated. Some patients may only require one treatment, while others may need additional treatments to achieve the desired results.

What is the downtime after treatment?

One of the best aspects of laser skin renewal treatments is that normal activities can be resumed immediately after treatment. Because each patient is unique, some patients may experience some swelling or redness 1-2 days after treatment. Positive results can be seen immediately after treatment.

Laser skin renewal makes it easier than ever to erase the signs of aging and the harsh effects of the environment. If you would like to learn more, please contact Orange County cosmetic surgeon, Dr. Douglas Hendricks at the Pacifica Cosmetic Surgery Center for a free consultation.
