Smartskin®
With the Smartskin® – a new and revolutionary fractional laser rejuvenation system - Dr. Christine Petti can help you achieve your cosmetic enhancement goals much quicker and more effectively than other laser skin rejuvenation treatments.
Affirm CO2™ utilizes an array of technologies, so that you can have two treatments in one to provide:
Wrinkle reduction
Dark undereye circle brightening
Pigmentation and redness reduction
Treatment of age spots
Treatment of scars
Sun damage
Hand and neckline rejuvenation
Skin tightening
Smartskin® treatment for these and other conditions can give you more youthful-looking skin. Plus, the Smartskin® incorporates Micro Ablative CO2 technology and a proprietary scanning delivery system which delivers skin resurfacing and collagen rejuvenation in one treatment! This results in total skin rejuvenation with a better and more immediate outcome. And the best part: the procedure itself involves significantly less downtime and discomfort than other laser treatments.
Comprehensive Treatment in Very Little Time
With the Smartskin® treatment’s ability to use multiple, effective technologies to rejuvenate your skin, the system ultimately improves all aspects of treatment. Plus, it’s completed in a fraction of the time most traditional methods take to achieve optimal results!
Some of the benefits of the Smartskin® treatment include:
Total Rejuvenation
The Smartskin® treatment’s combination of leading skin rejuvenation technologies enables it to give you a comprehensive treatment that incorporates all layers of aged and sun-damaged skin. Plus, the Smartskin® treatment goes deep into the collagen structures of the skin to address laxity - resulting in tighter, smoother skin.
Effective Results
With MultiPlex technology, the Smartskin® treatment system can issue two wavelengths of energy in one pulse from the same device. Dr. Petti can use lower energy levels treat damaged skin without compromising results, leading to a more rapid recovery time and much less discomfort during the procedure compared to other technologies which use a single wavelength.
Treatments Faster by 400%
Smartskin® treatments can give you quick and significant skin renewal with minimal discomfort and beautiful results. What’s more, treatment with Smartskin® is exceptionally convenient - rejuvenating your skin in about the time it takes to get away for a quick lunch break!

Patient Spotlight
A Firm believer in Smartskin®! Beautiful skin in a fraction of the time!
As I look in the mirror, as we all do everyday all of a sudden I’ve noticed signs of aging, I feel my skin tone and texture has changed. I see uneven pigmentation on certain areas of my face. My acne scars and pores seem much more pronounced! My skin looks so dull and uneven.
I researched about what I could do to help my dull, weathered skin “glow” again and look refreshed with minimal downtime.
I chose to have a consultation with Dr. Christine Petti, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon because of her extensive experience and expertise in laser and non-laser skin resurfacing which she has done for over 15 years.
During my consultation, Dr. Petti listened to me and my wishes. Then, she asked me a lot of questions about my skin, sun exposure, skin problems, skin care habits and examined my skin. I had photographs taken and then I had a high tech skin analysis called VISIA-a computer generated skin complexion analysis. From that analysis, I could see how much my skin was damaged from the sun, and how I had wrinkles I never knew I had! Dr. Petti explained all of the options to me, and then made a customized treatment plan for my skin and my lifestyle. She recommended The Affirm fractional C02 laser for my skin, as she felt it would give me the best treatment for the early signs of aging and the acne scars I had, and yet meet my desires a minimal downtime. The Affirm treats wrinkles, fine lines, scars, pigmentation and age spots. I had all of these to some degree so I was thrilled to learn how the Affirm fractional CO2 could help my skin. Dr. Petti explained the Affirm will stimulate and remodel my collagen providing me with healthier and firmer skin over time and especially with repeated treatments. She said the Affirm fractional CO2 treatments can be repeated and customized to provide a quick peel of 3 days to a moderate peel of 5 days to a deeper peel of 7 days, and this was good news as I knew that I would be interested in having "more" if the results were as I anticipate.
I had the Affirm to my face and neck. The treatment was done in 1 hour. Dr. Petti numbed my face and neck with a topical cream. I was very numb in a few minutes. The actual treatment was comfortable and she used a special chilling machine to cool the skin which was great.
Afterward, I looked like I had a mild sunburn, yet I truly had no pain. After the Affirm treatment, I used a very simple skin care regime and later, Clinique Medical for post treatment healing.
I am now continuing to treat my skin with the medical skin care products that Dr. Petti provides in her Medical Day Spa, Spa Bella. I want to be religious with my home skin care, so that I can make my results last.
The following day after the Affirm treatments I was able to work with no problems. I peeled lightly 2 days after the Affirm, and was completely peeled in 5 days when I went out on the weekend in full makeup. My skin was smooth, tight and glowing! My eyes especially looked so bright and my eyelid skin was firm. I felt beautiful! I received compliments from friends whom I had not seen in months. They said I looked radiant refreshed! That is exactly my wish--to look refreshed, rejuvenated and be recovered within a week! I love the Affirm and I always recommend it to all my friends. I tell them that they too can "glow", like I do because of Dr. Petti and her Affirm!
