With Fraxel fractional resurfacing instead of the entire skin being remodeled and resurfaced with each treatment, a percentage, or a fraction, of the skin is resurfaced.

Plasma fibroblast therapy is an aesthetic procedure designed to tighten and improve the firmness of skin via direct stimulation of own fibroblasts, collagen and elastin producing cells in the dermis.

Plasma fibroblast therapy uses a pen-like device that discharges a high-frequency electric current to small areas of the skin.  The plasma tip releases targeted current just above the surface of skin to create micro-injuries.

The thermal stimulation of fibroblasts leads to tissue regeneration and contraction visible clinically as skin tightening.

Plasma fibroblast therapy is a nonsurgical treatment that may be used to treat the aging skin, acne scars lines and wrinkles, improve skin texture offer mild-to-moderate skin tightening effects.  Areas commonly treated with plasma fibroblast for skin tightening include eyelids, neck, jawline, above the lips, arms.

According to a 2014 article published in the Journal of Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, the effects of plasma pen fibroblast collagen production lasts for up to 1 year after treatment.

What to expect?

While the procedure may vary slightly based on the location and size of the area treated, the basic steps typically include:

• Cleansing the skin and applying a topical anesthetic (numbing) cream. You may need to wait about 30 minutes for the numbing cream to take effect.
• Treating the designated skin area with the plasma pen. The pen will create small arcs of microcurrents that make small scab-like dots on the skin.
• Application a cooling gel to minimize the tingling and burning sensation.

The procedure usually takes on average 30 to 60 minutes to perform.

The small crusted dots created by the plasma pen therapy scab over and fall off in about 1 week post treatment. Over the next couple of weeks, as your skin heals, it appears tighter and firmer.  Imprints of plasma pen might last several weeks to months.  Some people may see benefits from just one treatment, while others may require three treatments for maximal benefit.  The best candidates for this procedure are people with mild-to-moderate skin wrinkling.

You are not a good candidate for plasma fibroblast therapy if you:

• are breastfeeding
• are pregnant

EMSCULPT is the latest technology in body contouring. EMSCULPT works to help tone specific areas of the body by simultaneous stimulation of muscle and/or removal of fat.

EMSculpt works by using HIFEM (high-intensity focused electromagnetic) energy that targets the motor neurons that innervate muscle. This induces supramaximal contraction that cannot be conventionally achieved through exercise. Increased muscle’s metabolic demand forces the body to respond by remodeling the targeted areas.

EMSculpt is able to treat

1. larger body areas including the abdomen, buttocks, and thighs
2. small more curved areas of the body including the arms, inner thighs, flanks, and calves

During the course of the 30 minute treatment, we gradually increase the intensity of the treatment specifically to the individual’s tolerance. The treatment combines a working phase, which includes the strengthening component, and a resting phase to help the muscle recover by breaking down metabolic byproducts such as lactic acid.

The treatment is not painful, but can get mildly uncomfortable with increasing intensity. We recommend for patients to regulate their breathing with each contraction and relaxation of the muscle; patients are instructed to exhale during the contraction and inhale during the relaxation of the muscle.

To ensure optimal results, the protocol requires the patient to do two treatments once a week for two weeks. This is a total of 4 sessions over 2 weeks with about 2-4 days in between with maximal clinically significant results achieved 4-6 weeks from the last treatment.

EMSculpt is able to address both aesthetic and medical concerns. The treatment allows for optimal toning of the muscle and providing the patient with amazing aesthetic results. EMSculpt treatments have also been shown to help treat other conditions as well including separated abdominal muscles (diastasis recti), chronic back and abdominal pain, and poor posture.

EMSCULPT has no major side effects. Patients may report that they have minor soreness, fatigue, and/or an increase in thirst post-treatment. Otherwise, EMSCULPT is extremely safe and non-invasive technology.

EMSCULPT is not recommended for patient’s with the following:

• Metal Implants
• Recent Surgery
• Pregnancy
• Active Hernias

Past medical and surgical history should always be discussed with Dr. Reszko prior to receiving treatment.

CO2 lasers are the gold standard in treating wrinkles, age spots, acne scars, and other blemishes as well as skin tightening. Damaged skin is removed, or ablated, stimulating new collagen production.

CoolPeel is a new way to safely, effectively and comfortably deliver the benefits of a traditional CO2 resurfacing.  By targeting just the superficial layer of skin, damaged layer is removed revealing younger and healthier looking skin.

CoolPeel laser with SmartXide Tetra technology is a new generation, fractional ablative CO2 laser allowing effective skin resurfacing with minimal downtime due to its unique high energy and extremely short- energy pulses.

A full-face CoolPeel laser peel is a relatively quick treatment that can take anywhere from 5-15 minutes.  Numbing cream can be applied for approximately 15-30 mins for additional comfort.

CoolPeel laser is associate with minimal downtime. One can expect some redness similar to a sunburn.  Your skin may feel dry and scaly as it heals so it is important to keep the skin hydrated and sun protected at all times.

After your CoolPeel you should avoid products like retinoids, alpha and beta-hydroxyacids for at least 1 week.
