Skin Refabrication
Dr. Wells introduces “Skin Refabrication™”
The key to lifelong beauty is “Skin Refabrication™”, a concept so revolutionary and so comprehensive that it is unique to the practice of Dr. Wells.
As Dr. Wells worked with the skin and studied its response to surgical manipulations for over twenty years, he has come to understand that the skin behaves much like a fabric. Skin is essentially a weave of collagen fibers which responds to excessive stretching by warping the weave of its collagen. “It is this distortion in elasticity that is primarily responsible for the unnatural, too tight appearance of some facelift surgeries.” According to Dr. Wells, “Natural results in plastic surgery are no accident. The ability to produce a consistently ‘non-surgical’ appearance requires a sophisticated approach encompassing advanced preparation, impeccable surgical technique and committed follow-up maintenance. Facial rejuvenation surgery is based primarily on soft-tissue redraping techniques and attention must be paid to the “fabric” as well as the “tailoring.”
As any tailor will tell you, the “fabric” is as important as the “cut.” If you take a roll of linen to a tailor and ask him to make the finest suit that will never wrinkle, he will say to you, “I cannot do it. It is the nature of linen to wrinkle when worn.” If, however, you take a roll of the most luxurious fabric that you can find and ask now for a fine suit that will not wrinkle, the tailor can fulfill your request. It is no different with plastic surgery. If the fabric of the skin is thin, aged, and loose [ if the weave of collagen has been pulled apart and is unable to hold its shape], so to will it respond like a linen garment. Proper surgical interventions, just as in excellent tailoring, require ideal fabrics to achieve ideal results.
Enter “Skin Refabrication™.”
“Skin Refabrication™” is a process of restoring the ideal fabric nature of the skin, rejuvenating it to the texture and resilience of youthful skin. This process tightens existing collagen and stimulates the production of new collagen through proven state-of-the-art technologies. We can now restore skin to a quality that is more tightly woven, healthier, and ultimately more beautiful and youthful.
“Skin Refabrication™” is achieved by Laser and Light Technologies combined with consistent and tailored Skin Care Maintenance. This allows us to slow down the rate of skin deterioration (aging) and reverse and rebuild skin damage that already exists. It is this goal of a “perfected fabric” through “Skin Refabrication™” that not only leads to immediate cosmetic improvements, but will ultimately allow for smaller cosmetic procedures, appropriately timed throughout a lifetime, to produce natural surgical results at any age.
“Skin Refabrication™” should begin as soon as possible.
Dr. Wells proposes the notion of “banking your collagen” for the future. This is the ultimate in proactive beauty and age management, as it is done to improve over-all beauty not only for the present, but more importantly for the future. More youthful skin quality and texture will allow for much more effective and minimally invasive surgical interventions with advancing age.
A two part “Skin Refabrication™” Plan is recommended to begin “banking your collagen” for the future. First, is the combination of scientifically proven laser applications and light based therapies to enhance collagen production. Second, Dr. Wells has created, Skin N. Y.®, a line of medical grade Skin Maintenance Formulas, which are utilized in custom designed programs for each patient. This is an important adjunct to maintaining the outcome of these laser and light procedures. An optimal approach to skin rejuvenation and age management necessitates patients to bank collagen, allowing for more natural results with smaller plastic surgical interventions. Dr. Wells states, “the sooner a skin maintenance plan is put into effect, the better. “Skin Refabrication™” is the future of natural plastic surgery and the secret for keeping “Beauty For Life.”
“The Collagen Boost” (“Restoring the fabric”)
Combination of Laser and Light Based Technologies
In spite of all of the “white noise” in the aesthetics industry, the reality is that, at the present time, true collagen stimulation and production can only be achieved by deep dermal stimulation. This can only be reliably performed with laser light. Deep dermal heating is currently the best way of tightening and restoring the existing collagen and to stimulate new collagen to be formed.
