MICRO FRACTIONAL CO2 LASER RESURFACING

- Number one Antiaging Breakthrough according to WebMD
- Outperforms any non-CO2 based laser device for rejuvenation
- Powerfully reverses several years of skin aging, laxity and wrinkles
- Significantly reduces acne and trauma related scarring
- Minimizes risk of future development of skin cancers
- Effectively decreases pigmentation such as freckles and sun spots

Dr. William Ting is one of the nationally recognized experts in Micro Fractional CO2 Laser Resurfacing drawing patients and physician trainees all over the Bay Area, California, across the U.S.A. and abroad. For the past several years, he has performed several hundred cases including significant number of ethnic skin individuals. With his Electrical Engineering undergraduate background at UC Berkeley and understanding of the laser optics, he has mastered the subtleties of cosmetic and therapeutic lasers.

Dr. Ting has extensive clinical experience in treating virtually all skin types and various indications such as acne scarring, rejuvenation, and chemoprevention of skin cancer. He utilizes a team approach in customizing detailed pre-op and post-op care regimen to optimize the efficacy and tolerability of Fractional CO2 Laser Resurfacing. Consultation is required with both Dr. Ting and patient coordinator to review benefits and steps to be taken to minimize potential complications, as well as the logistics of the procedure. You can choose either Dr. Ting or Annie Regan, PA to perform the Micro Fractional CO2 Laser resurfacing.

The old CO2 Laser Resurfacing had been the gold standard in skin resurfacing for the past couple decades as it achieved unparallel smoothness and reduction of wrinkle that no other modality can match. However, it has fallen out of favor because of significant pain requiring general anesthesia and substantial down time with the complexion appearing bloody raw for at least couple weeks.

The FRACTIONAL technology delivers the CO2 laser energy in a pixel like fashion where microscopic holes 0.3mm are punched into the skin right next to each other via computer-generated pattern. This fractionated CO2 laser technology delivers microscopic columns of 10600nm CO2 laser energy across the skin barrier, penetrating 5-40% of skin surface area (depending on discretion of Dr. Ting) right next to each other. The other non-ablated skin surface areas facilitate faster healing. Fraxel Restore, Pixel, and Pearl non-CO2 based lasers all have the right idea of fractionated laser delivery but with the wrong wavelengths thus requiring 5-6 treatments and likely inferior clinical outcome compared with one treatment of Micro Fractional CO2 laser technology. A recent study confirmed that the fractional CO2 deep dermal ablation resulted in collagen remodeling for at least three months after treatment, as determined by immunohistochemical analysis of heat shock proteins.
