Removing this outer layer of dead skin cells leaves a smoother texture and promotes the growth of healthy new skin cells.

Unlike other treatments, the DiamondTome Skin Resurfacing System uses no loose abrasives to contaminate you or the environment.

Your skin will have a radiant glow, free of irritation and loose particles. Patients experience softer, smoother and cleaner skin after the first treatment. Treatment series vary from four to ten sessions depending on the condition being treated and the type of skin.

CB Erbium Laser (for Laser Skin Resurfacing)
For 5 years, physicians all over the world have been using the CB Erbium laser for laser skin resurfacing. The use of this laser provides many benefits for the patient. The procedure is incision-less, which provides for consistent results, and recovery time is shorter, with less discomfort. By using this laser, the physician has more precise control and can eliminate the need for face lift surgery. The CB Erbium laser treatments are perfect for people that require a less intensive treatment, because it can be used on more delicate tissues, like the ones in the face.
This laser works by emitting a small, specialized beam of light, which passes directly through the skin and is absorbed by the water beneath it. This action removes thin layers of skin on the surface, reducing the appearance of wrinkles, and rectifying the skin's beautiful texture. Fresh new cells are formed in place of the old, dull ones, smoothing the and softening the skin's texture. This process reverses the effects of aging and makes the skin look an feel years younger.

How Soon Will I See Results?
