Our new location is in the final stages of completion so we thought it would be the perfect time to reflect on Skin Wellness’s incredibly beginnings and Corey L. Hartman, MD, FAAD's journey to make our practice the success it is today in our latest blog. We cannot wait for everyone to see the new space and would love if you could drop a happy memory from our current location in the comments so we can all take a trip down memory lane together. Our new address is 3415 Independence Drive. Stay tuned for the official move-in date. We’re moving on up! Linked in stories and lives forever at the link in bio.

Dr. Corey Hartman’s journey of opening Skin Wellness and an update on our new location! - Skin Wellness Dermatology
Our fourth Laserpalooza day brings us the Excel V laser.
.
Skin Wellness offers, Excel V, a non-invasive medical aesthetic procedure that can help improve the appearance of your skin. Excel V is a laser-based skin treatment procedure that can help treat vascular skin conditions. Excel V Laser uses two ultra-precise laser wavelengths to deliver precision treatment, and it can be used to treat things from spider veins to pigmented lesions. Read on to find out what makes Excel V Laser treatments so unique and how you can benefit from them.
.
What Can Excel V Laser Treat?
.
Excel V Laser can be used to treat a wide variety of skin conditions. Among the conditions Excel V Laser is used to treat are facial veins (or rosacea), leg veins, mild to moderate inflammatory acne, fresh bruising that has happened within 24 to 48 hours, benign pigmented lesions and global pigment, like sun damage. Excel V Laser can also be used for hair removal on patients.
.
How Is Excel V Laser Different From Other Treatments That Skin Wellness Already Offers?
.
Skin Wellness offers a wide variety of treatments for clients that are looking to improve the look and feel of their skin. Excel V Laser is different than any treatment offered before. Excel V Laser technology includes just one device (with two lasers). However, it has the capability to treat nearly 20 different indications — on all skin types. Also, Excel V Laser treatment offers the broadest capabilities to treat the widest range of vascular to benign pigmented lesions — so a large number of people can depend on it to help them improve the quality of their skin. One of the best benefits of Excel V Laser treatment is that the results are immediate: When you leave the office, you will most likely see a marked improvement in your skin condition.

A new generation of carbon dioxide lasers can precisely remove thin layers of skin with minimal heat damage to the surrounding structures. The field of carbon dioxide laser resurfacing is rapidly changing and improving. CO2 laser skin resurfacing is a procedure involving the use of carbon dioxide (CO2) and a skin surface-removing laser (ablative laser) to remove scars, warts and deep wrinkles.
.
Carbon dioxide lasers have been in use for many years to treat different non-cancerous (benign) and cancerous (malignant) skin conditions. A new generation of carbon dioxide lasers uses very short-pulsed light energy (ultrapulsed) or continuous light beams that are delivered in a scanning pattern. These lasers very precisely remove thin layers of skin with minimal heat damage to the surrounding structures. Such lasers have been successfully used to treat wrinkles, photodamage and scars, as well as other benign skin growths such as warts, linear epidermal nevi (birthmarks), rhinophyma (enlarged oil glands on the nose), and other skin conditions.
.
The field of carbon dioxide laser resurfacing is rapidly progressing and evolving. The ability to rejuvenate sun-damaged, wrinkled skin has been revolutionized by this new technology.
.
How does CO2 laser skin resurfacing work?
.
Ablative lasers, such as a CO2 laser, work by traumatizing the skin. It removes the thin outer layer of skin (epidermis) and heats the underlying skin (dermis). This stimulates the growth of new collagen fibers. As the epidermis heals and regrows, the treated skin appears clearer, smoother and tighter.
.
Non-ablative lasers, such as pulsed light (IPL) devices, do not traumatize the skin, instead they stimulate collagen growth and improve skin tone and texture. This is less invasive and requires less recovery time, but is less effective.
.
We choose the laser type based on the condition being treated and the patient’s cosmetic goals.
.
What are the uses of CO2 laser skin resurfacing?
.
CO2 laser skin resurfacing can be used to treat:
* Fine and deep wrinkles
* Age spots
* Uneven skin tone or texture
* Sun-damaged skin
* Mild to moderate acne scars
* Large pores
* Superficial to deep hyperpigmentation
Day two of Laserpalooza is all about our work horse, the Fraxel® laser.
.
Fraxel® is a wonderful treatment that can remove years from your appearance. It uses safe, non-invasive fractional laser technology to improve or eliminate skin damage such as wrinkles, sun spots, and other signs of aging. Treatment with Fraxel® can correct severe skin damage, resurface damaged skin, or prevent the signs of aging.
.
Fraxel® treatment is effective for:
* Wrinkles and fine lines such as brow lines and crow’s feet
* Surface scars such as those from acne
* Healing dangerous UV skin damage
* Minimizing excessive pigmentation such as age spots, also called sun spots
* AK (actinic keratosis), a pre-cancerous skin condition
.
This treatment can safely treat men and women of any age and any skin color. Fraxel® is backed by extensive research, is FDA cleared, and has demonstrated its effectiveness through more than a decade of successful treatments.
.
Fraxel® uses microscopic columns of laser energy to treat only a fraction of the tissue at a time, leaving the surrounding area intact. This allows swift healing and triggers the natural healing processes of the body to replace damaged or old cells with new, healthy, fresh, glowing skin.
.
The number of treatments, and length of the sessions, will be determined by the condition, location, and size of the treatment area, as well as the desired outcome. Results are typically achieved in three to six sessions, with treatment time ranging from 20 minutes to over an hour.
.
Fraxel® treatment provides both progressive and immediate results. Within a few days of treatment, your skin will show a more even tone, look brighter, and feel softer. The results will continue to improve over the next three to six months and can last for several years, depending on your skin condition and age.
