What does the Palomar 1540 fractional resurfacing procedure treat?
The Palomar 1540 laser system has been developed to treat a wide range of cosmetic conditions, including wrinkles, lines, sagging skin, and textural changes that can occur as a result of the natural aging process.

The Palomar 1540 is a fractional resurfacing treatment that is non-invasive.
What are the benefits of the Palomar 1540 treatment?

Laser skin resurfacing treats a wide range of cosmetic conditions, including wrinkles, lines, sagging skin, and textural changes that can occur as a result of the natural aging process.
The Palomar 1540 offers several advantages over other laser resurfacing systems, including:
- No downtime

- Deeper penetration
- No surface damage
- Long term results
- No need for topical anesthetic
- Shorter treatment time
- Less discomfort during and after treatment
How does the Palomar 1540 differ from other non-invasive fractional resurfacing techniques?
The Palomar 1540 laser energy penetrates more deeply into the skin’s tissues than any other competing system on today’s market. The system also includes a cooling device, which cools skin as it is treated. This feature offers considerably less discomfort than other procedures. Because the energy is directed deep into the under layers of the skin, the upper layers of the skin are left undamaged.
What makes the Palomar 1540 a non-invasive laser skin resurfacing technique?
The Palomar 1540 laser system is able to achieve effective results without damaging the skin or utilizing incisions or other methods which damage the skin or cause surface wounds. Using its patented delivery system, the Palomar 1540 can achieve many of the same results as those seen with invasive procedures, without the recovery time and discomfort associated with those procedures. The Palomar 1540 system delivers its laser beams in narrow columns of focused energy to create specific areas of heat and controlled damage within the tissues of the treatment area. This controlled damage actually encourages and stimulates the body’s own natural healing processes, promoting the development of new collagen.
Collagen comprises about 80 percent of skin tissue, and is responsible for the firm, elastic nature of skin. The heated energy of the Palomar 1540 encourages the development of new collagen, in a process which continues for weeks after the procedure, resulting in a continued improvement in skin’s appearance and overall tone.
How is the Palomar 1540 laser skin resurfacing procedure performed?
The Palomar 1540 requires no topical anesthesia, reducing the amount of time you’ll need to be in the specialist’s office. The laser energy is delivered to the treatment area through a special hand piece, which is passed over the surface of the skin usually 2 to 3 times during your treatment session. Each procedure requires less than 30 minutes to perform. Most men and women will achieve the results they’re looking for. A treatment program that’s just right for you will give you the results you want to achieve.
What type of results can be expected?
Your initial results will be visible right after treatment with the Palomar 1540, as lines and wrinkles begin to appear softer, and eventually disappear altogether. You can expect results to continue to improve for several weeks after your procedure as new collagen is formed. Immediately after treatment, you may notice redness and slight swelling which resolve within 2-72 hours. You can return to your normal routines right after treatment.
