upper dermis. The treatment then triggers the body's natural
healing process, stimulating the growth of new healthy skin
tissue. The procedure treats small zones of the skin. leaving
surrounding tissue untouched and intact. These large unaffected
areas act as a reservoir for more effective and rapid tissue
healing and collagen production. The bottom line: new healthier,
smoother tissue in place of skin imperfections. |
