Why MiXto?
The MiXto laser allows Dr. Paul Denton and our medical team to provide patients with younger looking skin after just one treatment. This treatment carries little downtime and offers patients improved skin texture and wrinkle reduction. By using a tightly-focused beam, the MiXto provides immediate tissue tightening and helps boost collagen for up to three months after treatment.
Some benefits of MiXto laser treatment include:
- Fast shrinkage of damaged skin.
- Little pain or discomfort.
- Reduction of lines and wrinkles.
- Removal of sun and age spots.
- Fresh collagen production.
The MiXto laser is often used to treat your:
- Face.
- Neck.
- Chest.
- Hands.
- Arms.
Recovery
Some patients may have skin redness for a short time after treatment, but this typically fades within five days. Most patients can return to work the day after treatment, but recovery time varies from patient to patient.
How MiXto Works
The MiXto, a carbon dioxide laser, uses its beam of light to heat and vaporize skin tissue. This helps remove scars and wrinkles – and revitalizes the skin’s surface. The MiXto offers Dr. Denton and our team better control to specifically target problem areas.
At Pender Medi Spa, we take the time to consult with each patient individually to discuss your treatment goals and together we can develop the best laser treatment plan for your skin.
Does Treatment Hurt?
We can use a topical anesthetic for most patients if pain is an issue. Most patients compare this treatment’s effect to having a sunburn, and most patients can drive home following their procedures. Patients’ skin may be swollen and red after treatment, and like with a sunburn, peeling and itching can occur over the several days after treatment.
The good news is positive results can be seen right away. These results will continue to improve after skin completely peels and benefits of treatment last as long as six months.
Am I A Good Candidate For MiXto?
MiXto treatment can benefit:
- Younger patients who suffer from severe acne scars.
- Middle-aged people with age spots and wrinkles.
- Older folks with age spots, wrinkles or pre-cancerous lesions.
How Many Treatments Will I Need?
Typically, we find that most patients require just one treatment. But those who suffer from extremely deep acne scars or wrinkles may need additional treatments for the best results.
At Pender Medi Spa, Dr. Denton and our team will determine how many treatments are needed based on the needs and goals of the individual patient.
If you are searching for a treatment to help reduce lines, wrinkles and other signs of aging, the MiXto laser may be what you’ve been looking for. To learn more, contact Pender Medi Spa today and let us start you down the path to a younger, revitalized look.
