Treatment of facial esthetics in dentistry just makes sense. A beautiful smile requires more than great teeth – the framework for how the skin and muscles move around the mouth is every bit as important as the teeth themselves. If all the muscles of the face and mouth moved as they should, facial asymmetry and skin wrinkles would be at a minimum. But years of compensated muscle activity bends the skin in a way that myofunctional therapy and Botox alone cannot tackle.
Our DEKA CO2 laser has an attachment for facial esthetics. After applying a numbing cream, we use the DEKA CO2 laser to make microscopic channels in the skin of the face, lips, and neck. This laser treatment provides the perfect energetic wavelength needed to stimulate new collagen, improving skin texture and tone within weeks. There is a minimum of discomfort and just a 24-48 hour period of redness, compared to many deeper treatments that can leave tissues red for weeks. Beautiful skin is simply hiding under the surface, and needs this very minimally invasive procedure to be revealed!
