Laser 360™

Laser360™ is a non-surgical, non-ablative, skin rejuvenation procedure with very little downtime. The Laser 360™ provides lasting results in as little as 60 days. It combines three technologies to correct many skin problems and can be used on any skin type.

Laser360™ uses three technologies to provide safe and effective skin rejuvenation:

• AFT intense pulsed light for color
  Pulses of light even out your skin color and reduce tiny broken blood vessels and other color irregularities.

• Near-infrared for tightness
  Deep heating helps firms up any loose skin to give you a more youthful appearance.

• Pixel® for texture and tone
  This precision laser stimulates new collagen to grow. The new collagen improves your skin’s texture and tone and smooths fine lines and wrinkles.

Each technology is delivered through a unique handpiece that is placed against your skin. Your skin will gradually rejuvenate over the course of your treatments.

Specially designed for the delicate skin on the face, neck and chest, Laser360™ skin treatments will even out your skin tone and reduce the visibility of tiny broken blood vessels. It firms up skin on the forehead, cheeks, chest, around the mouth, around the eyes, and the neck. It even treats redness due to roseaca.

Although the results of Laser 360™ are not as dramatic as a surgical face-lift, neither are the risks and the downtime (most patients return to work the day after their treatments). If you are bothered by the signs of premature aging but you are not ready for a facelift, schedule a consultation with Dr. Houser to find out if Laser 360™ treatments are the right treatment for you.

I have noticed that not all surgeons performing Laser360™ in Ohio are board certified. Why should I choose a plastic surgeon who is a member of the American Society of Plastic Surgery (ASPS)? Is this important?

An ASPS member surgeon has fulfilled the following requirements:

• Has at least five years of surgical training and a minimum of two years of plastic surgery training.
• Is board-certified by The American Board of Plastic Surgery or The Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada.
• Is trained and experienced in all plastic surgery procedures, including breast, body, face and reconstruction.
• Is peer-reviewed for safety and ethical standards prior to attaining the honor of active membership.
• Only operates in accredited facilities.

Why is it important to choose a plastic surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery?

Many physicians who perform cosmetic procedures will claim board certification, but it is important to clarify which board. The American Board of Plastic Surgery is a part of the American Board of Medical Specialties and has been in existence since 1937. Certification by this board signifies that the surgeon has completed an approved plastic surgery residency, has passed a comprehensive written examination, and has passed an oral examination. Following this, he or she is then required to maintain certification through case submissions, continuing medical education and written examinations. This rigorous process ensures that those who identify themselves as a diplomat of the American Board of Plastic Surgery are held to the highest standards of patient safety, patient satisfaction and ethical behavior.
