CoolFrax™ Fractional Laser Resurfacing: The New Face of Non-invasive Cosmetic Surgery
Laser skin resurfacing has been a popular method of repairing and rejuvenating damaged skin for a number of years however; some patients have chosen to avoid this procedure due to the long and difficult recovery periods associated with CO2 laser treatments. Now, thanks to new advancements in laser technology, clients may enjoy the same effective results here in Los Angeles and across the world, with little or no recovery time. Epione Medical Corporation of Beverly Hills, CA now offers CoolFrax™ fractional laser resurfacing, considered a safe and effective method for skin rejuvenation
Traditional ablative laser resurfacing involves the use of lasers to aggressively damage the outer layer of skin. The damaged skin is essentially vaporized by a controlled laser beam. The aggressive nature of this treatment may increase the patient’s recovery time as well as risk of infection and scarring.
CoolFrax fractional laser resurfacing, on the other hand, takes a far less aggressive approach. The laser beam is broken up into small fractions which deliver thousands of microscopic columns of heat within the treated area. Only these targeted areas are “injured” by these columns of heat and light. The skin around these perforated areas remains totally intact. The light energy is absorbed into the “injured” areas and this stimulates collagen production. The healthy tissue surrounding the treated areas promotes a more rapid recovery with less risk of complications. The new skin grows back healthier and stronger in just a few days.
CoolFrax fractional laser resurfacing can be used for the treatment of acne, wrinkles, fine lines, sun damage, stretch marks, skin discolorations and melasma. Patients may not only see results in these areas; there can also be an overall improvement in the texture and elasticity of their skin. In fact, Dr. Simon Ourian, Epione’s Medical Director, often opts to combine laser resurfacing with dermal fillers or Botox® for best results. CoolFrax fractional laser resurfacing can also be effective for the treatment of an acne scar or scar resulting from surgery or trauma.
A CoolFrax fractional laser procedure is quick and will usually take no longer than hour. In most instances, the treatment is performed in no more than 30 minutes. Patients report only a stinging or prickling sensation, similar to mild sunburn, when undergoing treatment. The most significant benefit to patients is the quick recovery time. They are able to return to work almost immediately. Side effects include light swelling and minimal skin redness which clear up in fairly quickly.
CoolFrax fractional laser treatment is a relatively gentle and effective option for skin resurfacing. This minimally invasive procedure can be used to treat all areas of the body including the chest, arms, legs and abdomen.
Plastic surgery has advanced significantly over the last 20 years and Epione’s CoolFrax fractional laser resurfacing, as part of this evolution, is playing a significant role in reversing the signs of aging. It is truly a revolutionary approach to improving the appearance of the skin.

Cosmetic surgery tips, recommendations, concerns and treatments.

LOS ANGELES, Calif. – For women who want to reverse the signs of aging without surgery, Epione recommends Coolaser™, Radiesse® injections and other dermal fillers to achieve a younger, more radiant and more refreshed skin. These non-invasive, age-defying procedures have been used to effectively reduce the appearance of wrinkles, nasolabial lines and sun damage, and restore youth to aging hands.
Plucking or shaving unwanted hair from the face is a daily routine for many Los Angeles women and men. Whether on the chin, upper lip or eyebrow region, shaved and plucked hair will grow back. Endless amounts of money may be spent on expensive home hair removal treatments that prove to be ineffective. Often when hair does grow back, it becomes ingrown, causing a red and tender bump on the affected area. Having an ingrown hair is not only painful, but embarrassing as well. Ingrown facial hair may become infected in some instances, leading to an even larger sore area that may result in an unsightly scar. Because hair grows so quickly after being removed with tweezers, a razor, or any other home method, the risk of a hair follicle becoming infected from an ingrown hair increases.
Beverly Hills – Did you suffer from acne when you were younger? Although you may not have acne anymore, do you still have scarring from that adolescent misfortune? If you’re like thousands of fellow acne sufferers, you probably do. The reason these scars are so difficult to get rid of is the nature of acne itself. Each pimple is a tiny infection that can deeply scar your skin tissue. Because the face is much more sensitive than other areas of the body, the redness of the scars can stand out for many years to come. Some acne scars can only able to be concealed using extra heavy foundation, and even that sometimes doesn’t do enough.
Obesity has taken hold of America. Everywhere you turn, another person is increasing their weight by eating that sandwich from that fast food joint that they really don’t need.

Some people in this country have so much to lose, that when they do succeed, they have so much fat left over they have to have a tummy tuck. When a person has a tummy tuck, there can be some scars left behind due to the amount of surgery and staples needed. They can leave some pretty gruesome scars. That is when you are eligible for a scar revision. What is scar revision?

Then you should consider Los Angeles laser hair removal. This is the newest thing for people who have hair in areas that you should not have hair. Due to excess hormones in our bodies, we may have some pesky hairs. As a result, women are prone to get hair on their face like men. With laser hair removal, you do not have to try all those painful ways of getting rid of hair. Women try many methods to get rid of hair- waxing, shaving, and more.

You should know all you can about any surgery that you are considering and that is where we come in order to help you. With small breasts cosmetic surgery, you will find that there are different ways in which they can put the breast implant in. Some put it in from an incision made on the underside of the breast. With this form of small breast cosmetic surgery, you may wonder how visible the scar will be.

the loss of volume underneath the skin, not gravity, is primarily to blame for sagging, aging skin. Therefore, treatments such as Epione’s Facial Re-Volumizing treatment, which uses injectable fillers, rather than a facelift may prove to be more effective in achieving a more youthful, refreshed appearance. ”People assume that the face falls because when you pull back on the cheeks everything looks better,” says Dr. Ourian. “It’s important that when attempting to address concerns associated with aging skin that you understand the true cause of the problem in order to determine the best solution.”
