Utilizing the Coherent UltraPulse CO2 laser, Dr. Wolf offers what has been demonstrated to be the most effective means of treating facial lines and wrinkles. The laser is used to resurface the facial skin, rendering an appearance that is smoother, less weathered and more homogeneous in color and texture. The CO2 laser is particularly effective in addressing lines around the mouth and periorbital lines ("crows feet"). Resurfacing is accomplished layer by layer and without bleeding. The procedure may be performed as a stand-alone procedure, or in combination with other surgical procedures. Healing generally occurs within 7-10 days.
