Safety When Getting Injected
Hey everybody. Today is just a quick tip. When it comes to syringes, when you’re getting filler and or botulinum toxin injections, you want to ensure that it’s a lure lock syringe or a locked on needle. There have been expulsion injuries that have caused actual blindness and people to lose their eyes. We had published a paper of reports on this almost 20 years ago in archives of facial plastic surgery, so get great results, but get ’em safely.
CO2 Laser
Hey everybody, it’s Dr. John Burroughs at Springs Aesthetics. I’m standing in one of our operating rooms next to our CO2 laser, the Phoenix CO2 laser. It’s a fractionated laser so you can adjust from very light treatments to more aggressive, very dense treatments. CO2 laser is amazing to help with a lot of skin concerns our patients have with their skin to include sun damage, age spots, discoloration & texture issues to smooth the skin. It can help tighten some for superficial laxity & help with wrinkles and lines. It can even improve the appearance of the pores. One nice thing about this CO2 laser is it’s so adjustable we can adjust both the power and the density of the treatment. So we can do very light treatments if you only want just a little freshening or to very aggressive if there’s been a lot of wear and tear on the skin, so to speak, from age and health issues and sun exposure. It’s also got an attached hand scanner so it can treat the back of the hand. And because it’s so adjustable, we treat a lot of areas off the face to include the forearms and the neck areas. So I just wanted to say hello from Colorado Springs and this is what we use our CO2 laser for.
