South Austin Clinic Treats Burn Patient Using Innovative Laser Technology

Nov. 30, 2009 - PRLog -- Dr. Michael Escobedo of Escobedo Skin Center in Austin, TX announces the treatment of burn patient using the innovative UltraPulse Encore from Lumenis.

UltraPulse Encore uses fractional laser technology to penetrate through the skin and activate the body’s natural collagen remodeling system.  Dr. Escobedo uses UltraPulse Encore to treat burn scar patients by 1) reducing the appearance of burn scar tissue, 2) smoothening the texture of the burn scar, and 3) increasing mobility around the burn scar.

UltraPulse was featured on the Today show May 2009 as a live study to trace the recovery of three triplet burn victims. After one treatment, the triplets saw major improvement in skin texture and color. What is really remarkable is that UltraPulse has been proved to go beyond a cosmetic improvement, and improve not only self-confidence, but mobility.

“I am very excited to use the Ultrapulse encore c02 Deep FX treatment for burn scars.  The recent work done by Dr. Wibell on the Burns triplets opens a new frontier for patients with severe burns and limited mobility.  I am deeply gratified with the collaboration I have established with Dr. Hinvor of the Lackland Airforce Base in San Antonio, TX who has treated soldiers burned in the Afghanistan and Iraq war.”
