Wisconsin Skin Rejuvenation Shines with Laser Gemology

    OSHKOSH, WI, October 07, 2009 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Laser treatments have become increasingly popular and have helped many men and women address a variety of skin conditions. At Fox Valley Plastic Surgery (www.fvpsurgery.com), board-certified plastic surgeons Dr. David Janssen and Dr. William Doubek have unveiled an appealing new suite of laser services inspired by the glow of pearls, the brilliance of diamonds, and the allure of colored gemstones.

"Gemstones are the epitome of natural beauty," says Dr. Janssen. "So, when we decided to create our new laser skin rejuvenation suite, we used them as our inspiration. There are many different kinds of gems, each with unique characteristics, and lasers have similar versatility."

The Laser Gemology suite includes several different treatments: the Ruby BBL, the Pearl BBL, the Emerald Profractional, and - the crown jewel - the Diamond Profractional. These treatments address a variety of needs for Wisconsin skin rejuvenation patients. For fine lines, patients may want to consider the Emerald Profractional, the Sapphire Profractional, or the Diamond Profractional. For redness and blood vessels, the Ruby BBL is highly effective. The Pearl BBL reduces sun damage and age spots.

"Laser Gemology uses lasers to accomplish a variety of skin rejuvenation goals," explains Dr. Doubek. "From blood vessels and age spots to fine lines and wrinkles, these treatments can do it all. And the best part is that they do it without the need for facial cosmetic surgery in the Milwaukee area."

In addition to the versatility of these exclusive laser treatments, they have the added benefit of quick recovery. Unlike some Milwaukee cosmetic surgery procedures which can require weeks of recovery time, these nonsurgical treatments require five days of recovery time at the most (the Diamond Profractional) and, in some cases, no recovery time at all (the Ruby BBL).

The Laser Gemology suite uses both BBL and Profractional laser technology. Dr. Janssen explains that, "BBL lasers use pulsed light to heat the skin. They affect the cells underneath the upper layer of the skin and encourage collagen production. Profractional laser treatments heat microscopic columns of damaged tissue to treat deeper layers."

Drs. Janssen and Doubek customize a treatment plan specifically for each patient depending upon skin type and conditions to be addressed. To begin the process, patients are given a complimentary VISIA skin analysis which will provide a thorough evaluation of skin health. In addition to the Laser Gemology suite, the Renaissance MediSpa at Fox Valley Plastic Surgery offers other services such as laser hair removal, BOTOX Cosmetic, dermal fillers, and facial or peels.

"The bottom line is that we want to provide solutions for all of our patients' needs and, even more, offer both surgical and noninvasive options," says Dr. Doubek. "I believe Laser Gemology is definitely a step in the right direction - nonsurgical, safe and effective skin rejuvenation."

At Fox Valley Plastic Surgery (www.fvpsurgery.com) in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, board-certified plastic surgeons Dr. David Janssen and Dr. William Doubek serve men and women from Appleton, Green Bay and Marquette. In addition to the cosmetic surgery procedures they offer such as breast augmentation and tummy tuck, their Renaissance MediSpa offers nonsurgical solutions such as laser hair removal and vein treatment. Dr. Janssen is a graduate of the University of Wisconsin Medical School and received his plastic surgery training at the George Washington University School of Medicine.
