The wisdom that comes with age is priceless. But, the loss of youthful skin is something we all miss as we age. What if we could have all the wisdom of experience without the years showing on our face and skin? Today cosmetic medicine has some effective answers to this quest and fractional laser treatments like Affirm are used by celebrities like Kim Kardashian and Courtney Cox.
Affirm is a revolutionary fractional laser technology for skin rejuvenation, skin lifting, tightening and wrinkle reduction. It also improves blemishes, pigmentation and complexion.
It utilises two wavelengths 1440um and 1320um to achieve the desired results. What makes this collagen boosting treatment effective is the fact that it combines multiple energies into a single fractional laser treatment to deliver amazing results to reduce wrinkles, scars, pigmentation, age spots, facial rejuvenation and coagulation of tissue, resulting in tighter skin.
Loss of collagen is one reason why our skin sags as we age. Affirm fractional laser technique helps boost collagen production in the skin, giving it a new lease of life. The treatment re-texturises the skin in a few days and helps reduce wrinkle lines around the brows, eyes, lips and forehead. It also reduces redness of skin, helps fade age spots, corrects sun-damaged skin and shrinks open pores, thereby tightening the skin. What’s more? It is also very effective for acne scars, reduces stretch marks on stomach, buttocks and arms and reduces wrinkles on the neck, chest, hands and feet.

A session’s effect can last for weeks. The popularity of this laser treatment is immense, not just in women but also in men, who mostly prefer treatments that are quick and show definitive results.
