Laser Skin Rejuvenation

The Purpose

Hybrid Fractional Laser (HFL) treatment reduces the appearance of surface and subsurface imperfections in the skin.  This laser skin resurfacing treatment treats aging-related skin concerns such as fine lines and wrinkles by stimulating collagen and elastin production. Age spots and dyschromic photo-damaged skin cells are also treated by HFL. These HFL treatments correct:

• Sun damage
• Discoloration
• Skin tone
• Texture
• Enlarged pores

‍

This treatment can be performed on the face, décolleté, arms and shoulders, hands, and legs.

‍

The Science Behind HFL

Hybrid Fraction Laser (HFL) treatment combines diode 1,470-nm, non-ablative, and Erbium:YAG 2,940-nm, ablative wavelengths to a single treatment zone to maximize results and reduce downtime.

‍

Diode (1470-nm)

Non-ablative Fractionated Laser

The diode, 1,470-nm, non-ablative wavelength not only reduces the appearance of imperfections in the subsurface of the skin, such as sun damage and other pigment issues, but also stimulates fibroblasts to generate collagen production.  This laser wavelength delivers thermal energy precisely into deeper layers of the skin through microchannels, stimulating the body's natural healing processes.

‍

Erbium: YAG (2940-nm)

Ablative Fractionated Laser

The Erbium:YAG 2,940-nm, ablative wavelength reduces the appearance of imperfections on the surface of the skin, such as texture, pores, and aging-related concerns. This laser wavelength precisely vaporizes damaged, discolored skin cells, causing healing in the epidermal and dermal tissue below, revealing healthier, more radiant skin.

‍

Combining these two wavelengths provides both short-term and long-term benefits by stimulating the skin and promoting our bodies to regenerate new, healthy skin regeneration.

‍

Results

Reduced appearance of imperfections are visible as quickly as within a week and will continued improve over the next few months.  Patients will experience 5-7 days of downtime with little social downtime.

The Purpose

Erbium Laser treatments improve and reduce the appearance of

• Texture
• Fine lines & wrinkles
• Dullness
• Enlarged pores
• Pigment
• Sun damage
• Acne scars & Surgical scars

These treatments also help with dryness, complexion, and aging skin.  

‍

Erbium laser treatments are individualized to address your specific skin care concerns and are performed by a trained laser surgeon with great precision of depth, resulting in maximum results. This treatment may be performed on the face, neck, and décolleté.

‍

The Science Behind Erbium Lasers

Erbium lasers use an Erbium:YAG 2,940-nm wavelength that is highly absorbed and targets water in the skin.  This laser instantaneously heats water molecules in the skin tissue and vaporizes the skin cells once the water becomes gas.  It delivers a precise amount of energy that vaporizes dead skin, promotes collagen formation, and eliminates damaged cells that make the skin appear dull, aged, and discolored.  

‍

Erbium Laser Peel

Ablative Full-field Laser

Erbium Laser Peel treatment uses Er:YAG 2,940-nm wavelength through a precisely controlled scanning handpiece to target the outermost layer of dead and dry skin cells, removing the entire treatment area to specific depth determined by your laser surgeon.  This treatment reveals the healthy skin that is beneath the surface, resulting in a radiant glow.  This treatment stimulates the body's natural healing process.  As the skin heals, fresh cells emerge and resurface the treated area.

‍

Erbium Laser Resurfacing

Ablative Fractionated Laser

Erbium Laser Resurfacing treatment uses an Er:YAG 2,940-nm wavelength to create precisely placed small channels in the skin. This procedure affects only a calculated fraction of the treatment area, leaving areas of healthy tissue to rapidly heal and replace the damaged skin cells. This approach stimulates the body's natural healing response while preserving surrounding tissue for faster recovery.

‍

Erbium Laser Spot Treatment

The Erbium Laser may also be used as a spot treatment to treat benign pigmented lesions or areas of concern.  Our physician will determine which treatment is best for your skin and health at your consultation.

‍

Results

Reduced appearance of imperfections and a brighter complexion are visible as quickly as three days.  Results continue to improve over the following weeks.  With Erbium Laser treatments, patients can choose their desired results and a suitable downtime.

The Purpose

This photorejuvenation technology targets multiple skin concerns and imperfections. Broad Spectrum Light (BSL) procedures treat and reduce the appearance of:

• Acne
• Redness
• Inflammation
• Vascular lesions
• Pigmented lesions
• Hyperpigmentation
• Sun damage
• Acne scars
• Surgical and traumatic scars

‍

This treatment also effectively treats aging-related skin concerns such as fine lines and wrinkles and improves elasticity by stimulating collagen and elastin production. BSL treatments target pigment issues, even skin tone, and improve overall appearance.

‍

The Science Behind BSL

Powerful xenon flash bulbs create intense pulsed light (IPL) which is selectively filtered and delivered through a chilled sapphire crystal directly into the skin. Light energy delivered by BSL precisely heats  specific layers and structures of the skin, thereby stimulating skin cell regeneration.  As cell turnover occurs and collagen levels increase, the skin becomes smoother, clearer, and more youthful from the inside out.

‍

Results

Reduced appearance of imperfections are visible as quickly as within a week and continue to improve, with little to no downtime. Multiple treatments result in the best outcome.

‍

The Purpose

Our 532-nm KTP and 1064-nm Nd:YAG Vascular and Pigment laser device  addresses the concerns of superficial and deep vascular lesions, benign pigmented lesions, and skin revitalization.  Treating these conditions can significantly improve skin tone, color, texture, and health. This device is FDA approved to effectively treat redness and vascular skin concerns:

• Rosacea & redness
• Facial veins around the nose
• Red/pink acne scars
• Spider/Reticular veins
• Cherry/Spider Angiomas
• Bruising
• Port Wine Stain
• Hemangioma
• Venous Lakes (seen on lower lip)
• Dyschromia
• Matting
• Poikiloderma

‍

Vascular and Pigment laser device are also approved to treats various benign pigmented skin concerns such as:

• Melasma
• Freckles
• Age spots
• Sun spots
• Café au lait macules
• Freckles
• Dyschromia
• Benign nevi
• DPN
• Poikiloderma

‍

This laser device may also be used to revitalize the skin, improving the appearance of wrinkles, texture, pores, and acne/surgical scars.

‍

The Science Behind Vascular and Pigment Laser

Vascular and Pigment laser device utilizes dual-wavelength laser technology, KTP (532-nm) and Nd:YAG (1064-nm) laser wavelengths.

‍

KTP (532-nm)

Our device is a solid-state laser that uses a potassium titanyl phosphate (KTP) crystal to produce the green 532-nm laser wavelength which selectively targets both oxyhemoglobin found in red vessels in the skin and melanin in brown pigmented lesions.

‍

Nd:YAG (1064-nm)

Nd:YAG (neodymium-doped yttrium aluminium garnet) crystal is used in our solid-state 1064-nm laser. This wavelength targets deoxyhemoglobin found in deep blue vessels and melanin in the skin. This wavelength has the capability to reach deeper layers of skin tissue than other types of lasers.

‍

Results

Often results are immediate, particularly with small facial vessels. Reduced appearance of other imperfections are visible as quickly as a few days and continue to improve over the next few weeks/months.  Downtime can range anywhere none to less than a week, depending on the severity of the treatment.

The Purpose

Pulsed Energy Laser treatments improve and reduce the appearance of

• Acne
• Acne scars
• Surgical and Traumatic Scars
• Skin laxity

‍

The Science Behind Pulsed Energy Laser

Our Pulsed Energy Laser devise delivers 1319-nm non-ablative, infrared wavelengths to rejuvenate the skin from the inside out.

‍

1319 nm Pulsed Energy

Non-ablative Nonfractionated Laser

The 1,319 nm nonablative wavelength is delivered using a computer-controlled scanning handpiece to deliver laser energy to which deeply penetrates into the inner layer of the skin (dermis).  The treatment area absorbs the energy emitted and stimulates collagen production in the skin.  Thickening of the dermis occurs, which smoothes wrinkles, scars, and other skin imperfections.  The Pulsed Energy Laser also reduces the effects of acne by altering the structure and function of sebaceous glands.

‍

Results

Reduced appearance of imperfections are visible over the following months after treatment with minimal downtime.  Multiple treatments are required to reach optimal results.

We successfully reduce the appearance of scars using specialized designed treatment plans focusing on treating and eliminating visible scars.  Each scar is unique and often will require a combination of our laser devices, medications, and skin care regimens to improve its appearance.  Many patients schedule laser treatments to treat acne scars.  However, we can also use laser devices to improve the appearance of traumatic or surgical scars as well. 

‍

During the treatment, the laser(s) will target the area beneath the scar, stimulate natural collagen production, and within a few weeks, you'll notice a significantly improved skin texture in that area.  Red or pink-colored scars can be treated with our vascular laser treatments to improve and blend the scar’s color.

‍

Scar Revision is an individualized treatment. The treatment plan will be created and discussed during the consultation process.
