Using the laser for eyelid surgery and face lifts allow Dr. Ryu to address facial droops and sags as well as the changes in skin texture that occur as a result of natural aging and exposure to the sun.
Face lifts performed with the benefit of laser surgery are able to restore facial contours. However, some patients who have undergone traditional cosmetic surgery still have creepy skin that looks tired and worn, dark circles around the eyes, fine lines, wrinkles and blotchiness. To correct this, the skin can be treated with peeling agents that restore texture, erase wrinkles and eliminate blemishes.
Laser surgery allows the doctor to perform a chemical or laser peel to the skin of the face at the time of the face lift. Skin rejuvenation can then be completed in one procedure instead of two separate procedures which are weeks or months apart. The new generation of lasers can themselves be used to remove wrinkles around the eyes and lips. Until recently, lasers used to remove facial wrinkles caused too much heating of surrounding tissue with an increased possibility of scarring. The Erbium laser offers the benefits of less pain during treatment and recovery along with significantly faster healing times than other resurfacing lasers. The ConBio Erbium laser offers the additional benefit of an optimally designed laser beam for the best treatment outcome possible from an Erbium laser.
