The most exciting new laser therapy to sweep across the world is a treatment known to most as the Aramis Laser. This is truly one of the first anti-aging therapies available to patients. This is the first laser that actually treats the skin from the inside out.. With each treatment of the Aramis Laser, more stimulation of the body's own collagen repair system is created. Each treatment of the Aramis Laser causes stimulation of small blood vessels as well as cells called fibroblasts to create new collagen. If the skin were to be biopsied for each treatment, we would find the skin to appear healthier under the microscope that it was prior to the treatment before.

What is laser collagen remodeling?
The Cosmetic Laser and Vein Centre’s Aramis Laser penetrates to the collagen layer in the skin to gently heat and stimulate new growth of collagen resulting in tightening of the skin. This very safe and non-invasive procedure is often called the “lunch hour face lift”. Collagen is the “backbone” or structure to our skin, much like the framework to a house. As we age, our collagen bands relax, causing our skin to sag and develop lines and wrinkles. Just like going to a gym and lifting weights stresses muscles, resulting in new muscle growth and toning, this deep heating of the collagen also results in new collagen growth. This new growth can result in up to 40% tightening of the skin. This treatment can be combined with Microdermabrasion on the very same day.

How will my skin look after treatment?
The Aramis Laser is safe to use on all skin types. In most people there is no sign that a treatment has been done. We will safely and evenly provide a pattern of pulses over the entire face. The neck may also be lasered. This treatment can be completed in as little as 45 minutes.

How many treatments will I need?
Just like you cannot lift weights one time to tone muscles, you must begin with a series of treatments. A minimum of three treatments, four to six weeks apart, are recommended. Follow up treatments will be needed to maintain continuous collagen growth.

How long will it take to see results?
Because we are stimulating your own collagen to grow, results will not be seen overnight. This is a gradual change which will be seen over weeks to months. Your age and general health will affect your individual results.
