Coblation - like getting a new skin
Coblation is a great treatment to remove fine lines, wrinkles, age spots and acne scarring leaving the skin rejuvenated and younger looking. Coblation is also a great treatment to help reduce the appearance of stretch marks.
Performed under a local anesthetic, a multi-electrode "wand" is passed over the affected skin causing a plasma stream of electrons to pass into the skin, disrupting the bonds that hold the uppermost layer of skin together. The skin is gently wiped away and the process is repeated until the required depth is reached.
Coblation also helps new Collagen to be produced over the next few months, further firming the face.
After the procedure and healing time, your skin will look younger, feel smoother and will notice a major improvement in the appearance of lines and wrinkles.
Patients experience minimal pain and most redness and any swelling is gone within 14 days.
Unlike other temporary treatments, the results from Coblation last between three and five years.
The procedure is particularly popular with patients who do not want to undergo laser resurfacing, which may cause burning of the skin and ultimately scarring.
Coblation can be combined with fat transfer to the face. This technique is particularly suitable for menopausal women who have lost their facial contours.
