Fine Lines and Wrinkles

  • TREATMENT TIME - 45-60 minutes

  • DOWNTIME - 5-7 days of significant social downtime

  • RESULTS - Initial results in 2-4 weeks, with continued improvement for up to 6 months as new collagen forms

  • METHOD - Fractionated Carbon Dioxide (CO2) or Erbium Laser

  • This laser primarily targets the delicate, wrinkle-prone skin on the face, especially around the eyes and mouth.

  • The treatment significantly reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, resulting in smoother, tighter, and more youthful-looking skin.

  • The laser creates microscopic columns of thermal injury in the skin, which triggers the body's wound healing response to shed damaged tissue and rebuild it with new, firm collagen.

  • This procedure specifically targets fine lines, wrinkles, and early signs of aging etched into the face, particularly around the eyes (crow's feet) and mouth.

Those looking to soften the earliest signs of ageing and prevent them from deepening.

Fractional Laser Resurfacing Fine Lines and Wrinkles

Fine lines and wrinkles begin to form as a result of reduced collagen production, a natural part of the ageing process. There are many ways to stimulate your body to increase production of collagen, including skin care products, certain dermal fillers, and many types of lasers.

Skin care products are the least effective of these treatments, and most of us do not find adequate results from using these products alone. Dermal fillers can create a temporary solution for lines and wrinkles, but do not address tone and texture the way lasers can, and the results from laser skin resurfacing can last much longer than the other options.

At Maynooth Medical Skin and Laser, all our resurfacing treatments are performed by medical personnel using Cynosure’s Icon™ 1540 XD/XF. This is the most advanced and customizable Fractional Laser skin resurfacing treatment system available with minimal down time.

While ablative laser treatments work mainly on the epidermis (surface skin cells) and the non-ablative treatments work solely on the dermal collagen (mid-layer of skin), fractional laser treatments work at both the epidermal and dermal layer of the skin. Add stem cell (exosome) treatment integration to enhance results and reduce downtime.

  • Redness, swelling, pinpoint bleeding, crusting, itching, risk of hyperpigmentation or hypopigmentation, and rare infection or scarring

  • Apply prescribed ointment regularly to keep the skin moist. Gently cleanse with a recommended solution. Avoid picking at the skin. Strictly avoid sun exposure. Use a physical sunscreen (zinc/titanium) daily after skin has healed.
