Ultrapulse CO2
Give us a few moments and we’ll give you back a decade!
Dr. VanAntwerp’s innovative
laser skin resurfacing techniques give you back the baby smooth skin you
had as a child. His facial resurfacing program involves the use of three
different lasers to remove lines, wrinkles, age spots, scars and spider veins. You get the benefits of smoother, firmer and more radiant skin.
This treatment program thickens and tightens the skin without giving the
stretched appearance often seen with face lifts.

Skin resurfacing lasers include:
- Pulsed Dye Laser – flashes
a bright yellow light through the skin to eliminate superficial facial
spider veins and to thicken the fibrous or elastic layer of skin.
- Ultrapulse co2 Laser – vaporizes
sun damaged and finely wrinkled skin. This laser shrinks and thickens
aged skin.
- Erbium Laser – a new type of resurfacing laser
that enables Dr. VanAntwerp to smooth fine lines and scars without causing
heat damage to deeper layers of the skin. The use of the erbium laser
reduces the prolonged redness often seen with resurfacing. Dr. VanAntwerp
also uses the erbium laser to resurface the neck, preventing a line
of demarcation between a newly resurfaced face and a sun-damaged neck.
How do I know if I’m a candidate for this treatment?
Dr. VanAntwerp offers a free consultation to discuss any
questions you might have concerning this treatment program. He reviews
all treatment options and gives full price disclosure during your visit.
Does resurfacing help with acne scars?
An acne-scarred face usually responds well to laser facial
resurfacing. We have many pleased patients and many wonderful results
to show you.
Will I experience much pain during or after the procedure?
Many patients worry about whether they will be comfortable.
Our goal is to maximize your comfort. Most patients opt for intravenous
sedation during the procedure and experience no discomfort. A qualified
anesthesiologist administers this type of anesthesia in the safety and
comfort of our ambulatory surgical center. All patients receive prescriptions
for pain medication postoperatively but many patients find this unnecessary.
Will I miss much work?
You do go through a healing period and need about a week
off from work. Most people experience swelling for 1-3 days. The skin
generally forms a new layer in 5-7 days. This skin may have a pink hue
(like a mild sunburn) for two weeks to two months. Makeup may be used
after one week.
Dr. VanAntwerp and his staff would love to answer your
questions about skin resurfacing. During your free consultation, you will
be shown before and after photos of Dr. VanAntwerp’s patients who
now enjoy the benefits of skin resurfacing.
