laser rejuvenation

Laser rejuvenation helps to smooth fine lines and wrinkles. The outer layers of damaged skin are ablated by laser, while the lower layers are toned, for a smoother, firmer look. Laser treatments can reduce the appearance of fine lines and, in some cases, improve skin texture.

The adjustable laser can be tailored to the particular needs of each patient. By gently ablating the epidermis, the laser selectively targets tissue to significantly improve various aesthetic imperfections. The ablated tissue sloughs off and is replaced by a fresh new skin.

Far more comfortable than conventional laser skin resurfacing, the laser treatment is performed with topical anesthetic at physician’s discretion.

In most cases, a series of treatments spread 4-8 weeks apart will be necessary. Your treatment provider will work with you to develop a treatment plan to meet your goals.

Treatments times are generally only a few minutes.

Most patients see results quickly, with continued improvement over time as you move through the treatment plan.

Depending on the severity of your condition, you may require 8 treatments over a 4 week period.

Treatments times are generally only a few minutes.

Most treatments show 80% or better acne clearance but results may vary from patient to patient.

A treatment can take as little as a few minutes to as long as an hour, depending on the treatment areas, skin and hair type. Thanks to the In-Motion™ technique combined with the large spot-size applicator, women’s legs or a man’s back can often be treated in as few as 30 minutes.

Hair grows in stages – and the hairs on your body are not all in the same stage at the same time. Only hairs in the growth phase will be affected by the treatment. This means that you’ll need multiple treatments to get the best results. Clinical research shows that a series of 3-6 treatments spaced between 1-3 months apart are required to achieve permanent hair reduction. Your provider will develop a specific plan for your goals.

Your provider will give you specific pre-treatment instructions to follow before your treatment. It is generally recommended that patients avoid plucking, waxing, and electrolysis for 6 weeks prior to the treatment. On the day of treatment, the skin should be clean-shaven and thoroughly cleansed.

Your provider will give you specific post-treatment instructions. While your skin may be slightly red immediately after the procedure, this should resolve within a few hours. You can resume your normal activities immediately following the treatment.
