Mixto CO2 Laser Skin Resurfacing - Virginia Surgical Arts

The MiXto SX® is the latest technology in micro fractional CO2 laser skin resurfacing which can be used on all skin types for laser skin treatments.

The MiXto Laser treats the face, neck, chest, hands and arms and delivers more results in a 30-minute treatment than competitors can accomplish in 3 treatments with less discomfort, downtime, and cost.

This state of the art CO2 Laser is a Carbon Dioxide laser that has been used for more than 25 years in the Aesthetic Industry for treatment of skin conditions such as acne scars and coarse wrinkles,scars of various origin, uneven pigmentation, stretch marks, and dilated pores. When a CO2 beam of light comes in contact with the epidermis it heats and vaporizes the skin tissue, instantly removing the supercial layers of the skin, scars, and wrinkles while smoothing out the surface of the skin. This skin remodeling occurs with new skin and collagen growth.

For optimal results, a prepping regimen utilizing Retin A is recommended 4-6 weeks prior to receiving the Mixto Resurfacing.

If you would like a complimentary consultation to see if you are a candidate for CO2 Resurfacing, call Virginia Surgical Arts today at (757) 430-7690 !

Is Botox for you? - Virginia Surgical Arts

Are you considering Botox for those unsightly lines & wrinkles? Botox Cosmetic may be for you.

Botox is an FDA approved prescription that is injected into the muscles by Dr. Vendetti that is used to improve the look of moderate – severe frown lines between the eyebrows, accross the forehead, around the eyes, as well as the upper lip. Once injected, it works by blocking nerve impulses to the injected muscles. This reduces muscle activity that causes moderate to severe lines to form between the brows. Often used as a corrective measure, more & more patients are utilizing Botox as a preventative measure to the natural aging process.

After the injections are administered, correction is seen in a matter of days, and results typically last anywhere from 3-6 months. With real, noticeable results, no surgery and no recovery time, this is a very popular approach to address facial wrinkles. Approximately 11.8 million procedures have been administered in the United States since 2002, and over 90% of Botox patients are satisfied with the results. (Statistics provided by Allergan).
