Dr Al-Ayoubi, who is medical director of the London Medical and Aesthetic Clinic on Harley Street, has described the system as the ‘next generation in anti-ageing skin treatment’. He says, “The Cynosure- Performa is a newer, much more advanced fractional CO2 laser, which I introduced in to UK in December 2010. I recommended in to my patients for treating skin conditions such as photo-aged skin, fine lines and wrinkles, severe acne scarring and surface lesions.
In some cases it can even be used to treat burns patients at the later stages. Fractional technology allows for skin to be treated with small micro- ablative areas. Areas for untouched tissue for much quicker healing times and decreased risk profile, with patients experiencing only a couple of days of slight redness and swelling.
CO2 laser:
A lot of celebrities are seeing great results with the Cynosure- Performa CO2 laser. I believe it is going to be huge in the UK for 2011 as we venture into the realm of non-surgical laser surgery.”
