Laser Treatments

In recent years, laser skin treatments have rapidly increased as a procedure option for patients. Technology improvements have allowed for better results and broader indications for use. Aesthetic laser treatments generally fall into the categories of skin tightening, skin resurfacing, body contouring and smoothing, and tattoo or hair removal.

Laser Skin Tightening

Skin tightening lasers effectively reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles for a smoother, more youthful appearance.

The non-invasive laser uses ultrasound or radio-frequency to heat the collagen underneath the skin’s surface in order to tighten the skin, with natural looking results. By heating the tissue to lift and tighten the underlying foundation, this strengthens the skin and stimulates the growth of new collagen.

Results are visible immediately but improve over time, offering a great option for those with minor to moderate skin laxity, as opposed to more invasive procedures. Laser and ultrasound skin tightening can be done on many areas of the body including the face, neck, arms, abdomen, legs and buttocks.

• Ultherapy is the only FDA-cleared procedure to utilize non-invasive, non-surgical ultrasound technology for skin tightening. Ultherapy works to tighten and lift the brow, face, under the neck and along jawline, as well as the decollete.
• Premier Platinum Lift- This Jett Plasma treatment is the only direct current plasma medical device on the market. Safe, effective and consistent plasma energy generates heat, warming the skin and producing a produces immediate visible skin tightening effect, while improving fine lines and wrinkles.

Laser Resurfacing

Skin resurfacing laser procedures can improve the appearance of aging or sun damaged skin, fine lines and wrinkles, acne scars, stretch marks or uneven pigmentation.

Resurfacing laser therapy targets very small sites on the skin, promoting the growth of healthy tissue and altering the appearance of the skin. Ablative resurfacing therapy provides dramatic results to both the surface of the skin, as well as deep in the dermis. This removes old skin cells damaged by wrinkles or brown spots, replacing them with fresh, healthy skin.

Skin resurfacing treatments can also help prevent the visible signs of aging, and get ahead of the dulling effects of time by providing a renewed texture and radiant glow to the skin. For longer-term results that can last many years, other treatments build new collagen formations over time, to continue smoothing the skin.

Contouring and Smoothing

(Other Laser Treatments)

Lasers and other new technologies can provide treatment options for patients preferring for a non-invasive treatment with no needles, no surgical incisions, no anesthesia, no pain medications, and no recovery time. CoolSculpting Elite is a non-surgical treatment to reduce unwanted fat.

Lasers are often turned to for other more specific types of indications, including:

• The Enlighten laser differs from other tattoo lasers with its short and high power picosecond laser pulses which effectively and quickly break down the ink particles. Picosecond laser pulses have been shown to remove tattoos more completely and in fewer treatment sessions than traditional lasers.
• Laser Hair Removal: For removal of unwanted hair, infrared light targets the hair follicles to destroy them. It can disable hundreds of follicles in less than a second, effectively removing hair on the cheeks, lip, legs, arms and other areas of the body. Our Gentle Max Pro hair laser system provides super-fast, comfortable treatment with it’s patented Dynamic Cooling Device. It minimizes discomfort by releasing a quick burst of liquid cryogen before and after each laser pulse. This laser technology allows for less painful, faster, more effective safe treatments. Your session can take a few minutes or up to an hour, depending on the area or areas treated.
• V Beam laser is an FDA-cleared pulsed-dye laser system used to treat multiple vascular and dermatological conditions. V-Beam is the most effective instrument for removing spider veins (small dilated vessels) from the face, and cherry angiomas (small red spots on the face and body). The VBeam can also help fade, over the course of multiple treatments, red or raised scars, port wine stain birthmarks, and red discoloration and flushing of the face from rosacea.
• Intense Pulse Light Photofacial, also known as IPL Photofacial or photorejuvenation is an anti-aging treatment that improves patients’ complexions by enhancing the color and texture of their skin. With pulses of light, IPL undoes the visible damage caused by sun exposure to the face, neck, chest, hands, arms and legs.
• ADVATx is the most advanced solid-state yellow laser to improve skin tone, texture and overall dermal health that will leave you with youthful, glowing skin. It’s FDA cleared for 25 indications, such as rosacea, acne, brown spots, melasma, fine lines and more. ADVATX is a low-risk procedure that doesn’t require numbing or downtime.
• Clear + Brilliant is a treatment that utilizes fractional laser technology to address and help prevent early signs of aging for both men and women of all skin types. Patients can expect improved skin tone, smoother texture, and softer, glowing skin.
