Laser skin care may involve the use of intense pulsed light (IPL), photodynamic therapy (PDT) or ablative laser resurfacing to reduce the signs of aging and improve the overall appearance of the skin. Laser treatments stimulate collagen production for improved aesthetic results. Patients often need several sessions to achieve their desired results, but this treatment can completely remove age spots and other unwanted spots on the skin. It is safer and less invasive than traditional resurfacing procedures.
Most facial rejuvenation treatments are minimally invasive procedures that can be performed in your doctor’s office with virtually no risk of complications. Patients often experience mild side effects such as redness, peeling, bruising or discoloration after treatment, but these effects subside on their own as healing progresses.
With our comprehensive facial rejuvenation services, you do not have to deal with the effects of aging on your face. Younger skin and an enhanced overall appearance can be easily achieved with one or more of our advanced treatment options.
Laser skin tightening provides an effective but minimally invasive procedure for smoothing out wrinkles and improving facial skin topography. The laser heats up the epidermis as it shines and causes the skin to increase collagen production as well as contract immediately due to the increased temperature. Also, the surgeon is able to adjust the strength of exposure and customize it not only between people, but also between different areas of the face, should they be naturally uneven.
No anesthesia is used for this procedure but some topical ointment may be applied at the patient's request. There is no recovery time associated with laser skin tightening and side effects are minimal. It usually takes between two to three treatments to reach the desired result, although the differences in skin elasticity are apparent after the first treatment.
We offer both Aurora™ and Polaris™ technologies for skin resurfacing and hair removal. The advantage of the use of these lasers is that there is no downtime. Aurora™ and Polaris™ are the first and only combined energy technology, using a combination of radio frequency and light energy, making this a superior treatment. This elos™ technology can also be used for treatment of spider veins. These lasers are appropriate for all skin types, including dark skin.
