Lightscalpel 4020 : The Best Cosmetic Surgical Laser on Planet Earth

We proudly announce the brand new-to-market Lightscalpel 4020 (forty-twenty) laser, a next generation carbon dioxide laser with best in class surgical and wrinkle removing capabilities.  Dr. Laverson has been applying this advanced laser at Plastic Surgery San Diego, CA for skin smoothing and rejuvenation and found it to be both safe and effective resolution of textural aging and for deeper facial lines and creases.  Anesthesia is required for resurfacing treatment with the Lightscalpel 4020 because the device is most effective when penetrating into dermal (deeper) layers of skin.  If the treated area is limited, local anesthesia is sufficient but for full face restoration, a brief general anesthesia is preferred.  The 4020 is an ablative laser that applies monochromatic light energy at 10,600 nanometer wavelength to essentially vaporize superficial skin layers.  Fine wrinkles will smooth with superficial treatment settings.  Deeper creases, wrinkles, and surface contour irregularities from scarring or injury demand either extra passes with the laser or higher energy to reorganize and smooth abnormal or aging collagen.  Vaporization of skin surface layers is a controlled injury that initiates a healing process lasting days to weeks to months.  During that time, prescription skin care is required followed by daily tinted mineral sunblock. New baby collagen is produced and establishes a youthful appearing dermal skin foundation.  Above the new collagen layer is a brand-new baby thin pink epidermal layer that matures and thickens over time and recovers durability and pigmentation.

As miraculous as the 4020 is for completely turning back the clock on aging facial skin, it is equally capable for conventional surgical applications.  Dr. Laverson has used the 4020 for a variety of aesthetic plastic surgery of the brows, eyelids, nose, lips, breast, body, and for laser labiaplasty.  The 4020 transforms traditional procedures into bloodless operations and for that reason is an absolute game-changer.  Bloodless surgery means improved visibility of the surgical field, improved precision, and potentially a quicker healing process because of less swelling and bruising.

The physics and engineering of the 4020 were years in development, masterfully executed by Peter Vitruk, PhD. and the technical team at Lightscalpel in Bothell, WA.  Lightscalpel is known among surgeons, dentists, and veterinarians for quality clinical lasers since the 1990’s.  The 4020 delivers laser energy to surgical sites by a fiberoptic pathway which is much more flexible than other lasers that incorporate articulating arms.  This allows the surgeon to use the laser as a pencil, directing the beam at more specifically adjusted locations, angles, and depths of penetration for complete control over the surgical procedure.  Dr. Laverson believes the Lightscalpel 4020 is a landmark development in aesthetic laser technology and by far the best aesthetic laser on the market, offering surgeons unsurpassed versatility and results.
