The Affirm laser is a multiplexing laser (two wavelengths fired at the same time) which is unique for skin remodeling lasers and repairs the surface of the skin for and causes collagen production deeper into the skin for longer lasting results. It can be used on all skin types.  After treatment the patient will have mild "sun burn" which last 12-24 hours, which is not painful.  Usually done in a series of 3 treatments done a month apart, the results can be dramatic and patient satisfaction is very high.  A topical anesthetic may be used prior to the procedure if the patient desires.
 
The Affirm laser works by stimulating the production of collagen, which results in soft, smooth, and younger looking skin.  This collagen production is able to fill small holes and crevices making it an excellent laser for treatment of ance scaring.  Additionally, the skin tightening effect of the Affirm makes it a wonderful procedure to take years off your face and anywhere else on the body subjected to treatment. The results of the Affirm treatment can be immediate but become more obvious after 4-6 weeks.
