Denver, CO, Nov. 7, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Dr. Michael McCracken, a leading Denver area plastic surgeon, now uses VECTRA M3 Imaging System in his Parker, CO location. VECTRA M3 Imaging System simulates facial procedures, allowing patients to see the outcome of their cosmetic procedures before any restorations are made. McCracken Eye and Face Institute, a premier center for cosmetic and functional surgery of the area surrounding the eye, is the first private medical facility to use VECTRA M3 Imaging System in Colorado.
According to Dr. McCracken, VECTRA M3 instantly captures photorealistic 3D images of the face, allowing him to demonstrate procedure simulations to his patients instantly and in one office visit. The device has several settings that can visually demonstrate skin conditions and volume loss caused by age. Using the software, Dr. McCracken and his team can demonstrate how facial procedures, such as laser rejuvenation and dermal fillers, can be used to correct areas of concern. "With VECTRA M3, I can simulate the results of laser resurfacing, adding volume with a given amount of filler, and other facial procedures," says Dr. McCracken. "While the simulations are not meant to serve as a guarantee, VECTRA M3 can help my patients appreciate sun damage, facial descent due to gravity, and volume loss and the ways facial procedures can correct these concerns by presenting them with realistic 3D images. Essentially, I can show them an estimate of a "before" and "after" before any procedures are performed."
McCracken Eye and Face Institute is the first private medical facility in Colorado to use VECTRA M3. Dr. McCracken is excited to offer this technology to the Denver, CO area. "VECTRA M3 really changes the way doctors can demonstrate facial procedures to patients," says Dr. McCracken. "I think, as more people become familiar with this technology, there will be a greater interest in using VECTRA M3 to simulate results before undergoing facial procedures."
