Acupulse120 Fractional Wrinkle Reduction


The visible signs of aging are caused by changes deep in the layers of the skin. To improve skin tone and remove imperfections, Acupulse120 Fractional Wrinkle Reduction treats deep into your skin to create new collagen to improve your skin tone. The end result is a dramatic improvement in wrinkles, fine lines, and skin tone and texture – in one treatment.

Is Acupulse120 Fractional Wrinkle Reduction right for you?

Acupulse120 may be the ideal treatment option if you:
  • Want to improve fine lines, wrinkles, skin tone and texture
  • Want to achieve dramatic results in only one treatment
  • Want a procedure that has minimal down time
What is Acupulse120 Fractional Wrinkle Reduction?

Acupulse120 is a fractional CO2 laser that targets wrinkles, fine lines, and skin tone and texture with minimal downtime. Fractional treatments treat only a fraction of the skin, leaving bridges of untouched skin that aid in the healing process and reduce healing times enabling you to return to normal activities quicker.

How does it work?


Acupulse120 Fractional Wrinkle Reduction utilizes a very narrow laser microbeam, about the width of a human hair, to remove columns of tissue deep into the layers of the skin. This initiates the body’s natural wound healing response which heals the surrounding zone of affected skin by creating new elastic collagen.1 The new collagen foundation works to improve skin tone and pull wrinkles out as well as plumping from within. The result is improvement in the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, skin tone and texture – in one treatment, and with minimal downtime.

Where on the body can Acupulse120 be used?

Acupulse120 is commonly used on the face, around the lips, for crows feet, the neck, upper chest, hands and arms.

What is an Acupulse120 Fractional Wrinkle Reduction treatment like?

Acupulse120 is typically performed in a physician’s office. First, your physician will numb your skin with a topical anesthetic to aid in treatment comfort. During the procedure, you will feel a warm sensation as the laser is applied. Your total treatment time will last approximately 30 minutes, though total time will vary depending on the area treated. Immediately following treatment, your skin will be warm, and may be slightly red. Your physician will provide you with a skin care regimen to follow for the days following your treatment and as your skin heals, you will begin to notice an improvement in fine lines, wrinkles, tone and texture. You should be able to begin normal activities within a day or two depending on the treatment received. You should expect to continue to see improvement for up to six months following the procedure.
