Ask Dr Potgieter about his Fractional Laser Treatment for revolutionary ablative skin rejuvenation, scar and wrinkle treatment. Now performed with the Waterlase laser with virtually no pain, definitely no need for local anaesthetic. Anxious patients may choose topical anaesthetic, although after the first treatment they realise it is actually not necessary.

BENEFITS OF LASERS OVER CONVENTIONAL SURGERY

• Lasers have an ability to seal blood vessels thereby achieving haemostasis
• Lasers seal lymphatic vessels, so decrease post-surgical swelling
• They seal nerve fibres thereby reducing operative and post operative pain
• Reduces mechanical trauma to tissue
• Less scarring and greater precision because of the mono chromic coherence qualities
• Reduces bacterical counts thereby promoting predictable healing with minimal post operative inflammation
