Portland, OR (PRWEB) May 15, 2006 -- The latest research in aesthetic
medicine has found that in most patients, a single treatment with the
long-pulse YAG laser at a higher fluence than used in multiple treatment
studies improves skin laxity more than a single treatment with the
Thermage RF device. This is particularly significant because, despite
the dramatic improvements associated with surgical face-lifting, the
recovery time and high expense remain significant drawbacks of these
procedures.
"Patients seeking cosmetic improvement prefer procedures with little
downtime yet are safe, effective, and reasonably priced," Dr. Douglas
Key wrote in a recent study. "If downtime is short, patients can receive
these treatments without revealing to friends and associates that
they've ‘had a procedure.'" As Dr. Key's research shows, new Gentle YAG
protocols have become available that could increase the treatment
safety, rapidity, cost effectiveness, and patient comfort. Dr. Key's
research findings were reported to a national audience at the recent
American Society for Laser Medicine and Surgery (ASLMS) meeting in
Boston.
