Thirty years ago virtually all surgery was performed in hospitals with lengthy in hospital stays. Today many procedures can be performed safely and efficiently in an outpatient setting. Outpatient services are provided by ambulatory surgical centers. These centers were first opened in the 1970’s and since that time have developed into high quality, costeffective alternatives to inpatient hospital care. These centers can be within a hospital (performing inpatient and outpatient procedures) or free standing facilities that concentrate on outpatient procedures only.

Fraxel treatment is a safe, non-invasive procedure that allows you to rediscover the fresh, healthy skin of your youth. This "fractional" treatment produces thousands of deep, tiny columns in your skin, called microscopic treatment zones. FLT is "fractional" in that it intensively treats old epidermal pigment cells without affecting any of the surrounding tissue, which reduces healing time and promotes the skin's natural process for creating new, healthier tissue to replace the damaged cells.
