What is the
Comet™
WR?
The
Comet™
WR combines safe and effective levels of laser and
radio frequency (electric current) energies to remodel
the dermal layer of the skin by stimulating new
collagen growth. This results in a smoother and softer
skin appearance. Both laser and radio frequency have been
used separately and successfully for decades in
medicine and surgery. But the
Comet
WR, exclusively, combines both energies for optimal
treatment outcomes with a very low risk of side
effects and virtually no down time.
What can I expect from
Comet™
WR
treatments?
The
Comet™
WR improves textural irregularities in the
skin that have been caused by loss of collagen in the dermis, including
non-dynamic, moderate wrinkles; enlarged pores;
superficial acne scarring; rough skin texture; and
skin laxity of the face and neck. This is done non-ablatively,
which means the procedure is not invasive. Most people
experience only slight pinkness of the skin, if any at all, and
can return to work or other normal activities immediately
following treatment.
How many treatments are
required?
Most patients require between 3-5 treatments.
How often are treatments done?
Treatment sessions are typically 3-4 weeks apart.
How long do treatments take?
Each treatment session usually takes half an hour.
Does wrinkle reduction treatment hurt?
The sensation you will feel—which lasts only an
instant—has been described as a hot pinch or needle
prick, like someone snapping a tiny rubber band on
your skin. People tolerate treatment well by use of a topical anesthetic
to numb the skin and/or the
contact of the super-cooled laser treatment head.
Who should be treated with the
Comet™
WR?
Anyone who has unwanted, moderate wrinkles; superficial
acne scarring; enlarged pores; or rough skin texture
from chronic sun damage should consider wrinkle
reduction treatments, which also may improve pigmentation from chronic sun
damage.
Dynamic wrinkles, such as those between the brows or
the deep
folds near the mouth and nose, are not going to
respond to
Comet™
WR treatment. We will be happy to discuss realistic
expectations with you during your free consultation
with our expert staff.
Are there any risks to
wrinkle reduction treatment?
Any medical laser procedure carries the risk of side effects
such as superficial blistering, crusting and/or pigment
changes in the skin. These risks are rare and usually
are resolved quickly. The
Comet™
WR technology incorporates several
revolutionary advances that increase patient safety
and minimize risks as well as provide greater comfort and
satisfaction with the results.
