Advanced Dentistry & Aesthetics
Laser Aesthetics
Laser Aesthetics in Park City provides modern laser treatments that deliver measurable results in reversing signs of aging. Using both ablative and non-ablative methods, laser energy resurfaces facial skin to meet each patient’s unique needs and goals.
Modern laser treatments provide quantifiable results in reversing signs of aging. Laser energy can resurface facial skin using both ablative and non-ablative methods, depending on the patient’s needs and goals. Laser Aesthetics in Park City offers advanced treatments, including ablative laser procedures that remove the thin outer layer of skin while heating the underlying layers. This process stimulates collagen production, resulting in a smoother, tighter appearance.
At Advanced Dentistry & Aesthetics we provide non-ablative treatments or those that do not aim to damage the skin in order to treat it. Dr. Peterson uses the Fotona Lightwalker Laser. In using these treatments as opposed to more aggressive chemical peels, laser resurfacing, and dermabrasion, we provide patients with an alternative option that provides high-quality results without damaging the skin to do so.
Additionally, through noninvasive treatments, Advanced Dentistry & Aesthetics can seamlessly incorporate aesthetic procedures into standard dental checkups. Laser Aesthetics in Park City offers patients the convenience of enhancing their appearance in just one appointment, saving time and hassle. Our office provides the opportunity to leave with both a brilliant, healthy smile and youthful, rejuvenated skin.
Lightwalker Laser Energy
Lightwalker laser energy provides nonablative treatment to the skin surface through a process known as neocollagenesis. This happens when the laser delivers energy through the epidermis into the dermis. When the light energy penetrates the outer layer of skin it converts to heat energy in the dermis. Receptors register the heat and trigger a response akin to when the receptors respond to trauma even though there is no actual wound or skin damage. This response remodels the existing collagen at the treatment site and initiates the production of collagen.
Collagen is crucial in the skin rejuvenation process because it provides the underlying structural framework for our skin, resulting in skin that is both firm and tight. As we age our body produces less and less collagen over time. By about the age of 50, the skin produces roughly 30 percent less collagen. Because of this, as we age we notice differences in the appearance of our skin. For example, people may notice skin beginning to sag, droop, become thinner, and the appearance of wrinkles and lines.
Who Is A Good Candidate For Laser Touch Aesthetics?
Everyone is a good candidate for these treatments, particularly those with sun-damaged skin. Combine sun damage with declining collagen production and the results are noticeable signs of aging, such as sunken cheeks, jowls, sagging skin, and thinning lips. Our nonablative Lightwalker laser treatments help you take back a semblance of your youth and don’t require recovery.
What Laser Treatments Does Advanced Dentistry & Aesthetics Offer?
At Advanced Dentistry & Aesthetics, we utilize the Fotona Lightwalker laser. Its variety of wavelengths and subsequent treatment options make the Fotona Lightwalker laser the safest most effective laser there is for skin rejuvenation.
Dr. Peterson provides the following treatments using the Lightwalker laser:
Smoothlase™
In this application, the Lightwalker laser targets areas around the mouth and chin. Laser energy is delivered beneath the skin surface and creates instant skin tightening and new collagen production.
Nightlase™
Nightlase™ a Fotona’s non-invasive laser treatment used to improve sleep, specifically targeting sleep apnea and snoring. Dr. Peterson directs the Lightwalker laser onto the tissues at the back of the mouth. During sleep, these tissues sag and vibrate resulting in snoring. They may even block the airway and cause Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA). The Lightwalker er:YAG laser penetrates the outer tissues without ablation. By heating the underlying tissues, Nightlase™ remodels and contracts collagen. As a result, patients see an immediate 50 percent reduction in snoring and improved sleep.
Liplase™
Dermal fillers provide an obvious change in lip volume. As an alternative to these kinds of results, Dr. Peterson provides Lightwalker laser treatment. This laser treatment increases collagen production fills out the lips and smoothes the appearance of vertical lip lines.
Smootheye™
Laser energy is directed onto undereye bags, puffiness, and dark circles to contract collagen and keep the area firm.
