Marina Plastic Surgery Unmasks the “Beauty Bandit”
Marina Plastic Surgery combines Fraxel™ and ThermaCool TC™ technologies to deal a one-two punch to melasma and the signs of aging.
Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) July 29, 2005 -- Marina Plastic Surgery is combining
two innovative treatments— Fraxel and ThermaCool— to give back the confidence
thousands have had stolen by melasma and aging skin. Melasma, a common disorder
affecting approximately 6 million women in the United States, causes a dark
brown mask-like skin discoloration across the cheeks and nose, upper lip or
forehead. Often called the “mask of pregnancy,” it typically affects pregnant
women, but can also be caused by hormonal activity and certain medications.
Melasma can be difficult to treat and, until now, had been unresponsive
to laser and pulsed light treatments. Efforts were risky and required
significant recovery periods, with minimal results. But Marina Plastic Surgery’s
highly effective combination... Fraxel + ThermaCool = ThermaFrax... One highly
effective answer to erase discoloration and rejuvenate the skin without the need
for invasive surgery or deep skin peels.
The Fraxel technology speeds
the healing process for affected cells and eliminates unnecessary treatment of
surrounding cells. ThermaCool, the other half of the regimen, is a non-invasive
type of facelift that turns back the signs of aging. During this procedure, deep
layers of skin are treated with radio frequencies that generate new collagen
fibers to tighten and firm sagging skin.
“Combining Fraxel with
ThermaCool offers our patients a more comprehensive and effective result,” said
Dr. Grant Stevens, medical director of Marina Plastic Surgery.
As part of
the concentrated effort to combat the effects of melasma and aging, Fraxel and
ThermaCool regimens both require a short series of treatments, with a separation
of about two weeks between the initial procedures. The treatments typically take
little more than an hour and clients can return to their regular routines the
same day. As a result, clients look and feel better faster.
Though
the combination treatment is most popular among women of childbearing age, it
can be used to treat both male and female clients of all ages. Fraxel is
approved for use on all skin surfaces, including the face, neck, chest and backs
of hands. ThermaCool is ideal for treatment for tightening skin along the
jawline, on the forehead and around the eyes.
