Lasers were first introduced to treat medical disease in the early 1970's. With research and technological advances many lasers are able to perform a wide array of different tasks. The first cosmetic applications of laser technology were merely to make a bloodless incision.

Today, cosmetic lasers are used to perform very specialized specific tasks with accurate and consistent results, with little or no risks. With this in mind, cosmetic lasers are currently being used to help wash away wrinkles, remove vascular red skin spots, brown spots, tattoos, hair, leg veins, and assists in many other procedures.

As important for remarkable results is the physician guiding its applications. Dr. Maloney's laser background and experience began in 1976. He has patented and developed several laser delivery systems that are marketed around the world. He has conducted FDA clinical trials for laser applications in Erbium:YAG, CO2 and Argon laser technology.

• UltraPulse 5000 CO2 Laser - In the fall of 1995, the first and only carbon dioxide laser specifically designed for resurfacing the skin was developed. This laser is computer programmable for depth, intensity, pattern, and size. For the first time, laser skin resurfacing produced precise and predictable results with a greatly reduced risk of scarring. At last, a weapon has been designed to successfully fight back wrinkled dry skin.

• Erbium:YAG Laser - In the fall of 1996, this laser was developed and its applications are important. Its fine, delicate light beam is the perfect compliment to the broad "heavy duty" beam of the Carbon Dioxide. A single erbium application has applications for less wrinkled, but more acne or facial scarring. Because it heals more quickly, it is ideal for younger career individuals who are looking to improve and maintain their skin's quality.

• Arctic Peel ™ - Also known as the "weekend" skin peel, the Arctic Peel ™ is ideal for patients with sun damaged skin and early skin aging. Our physicians utilize the Sciton Profile ™ Erbium-YAG laser to perform this in-office, minimal down-time procedure. No anesthetic is required as chilled air is used to cool the skin during the treatment. The Arctic Peel ™ provides deeper resurfacing than microdermabrasion, and you will have noticeably smoother skin. While results are seen after one treatment, they continue to improve with successive treatments.
  
  
• Arctic Laser Wash - Using the Sciton Profile ™ Erbium-YAG laser, this partial epidermal peel can successfully treat brown spots, age spots, acne scars, scars, fine wrinkles, and keratoses. Makeup will go on smoother and you will look and feel younger. Topical anesthetic cream is used in addition to the cool air chiller, and healing can range from 3-7 days, depending on the depth of ablation that is chosen. The Arctic Laser Wash is our most popular, in-office, skin resurfacing procedure. If you are looking for a low down-time procedure which offers serious results, call The Aesthetic Surgery Center to schedule your appointment.
