Laser Treatment

Several laser devices have been developed to address cosmetic concerns such as unwanted hair, sun damage, and loss of elasticity. We are pleased to offer all of the services our patients need to feel more vibrant and confident in their skin.

Active FX / Total FX™

This high-energy fractional CO2 laser improves the appearance of acne scars, brown spots, rough texture, and fine lines and wrinkles in just one treatment. The laser light is absorbed by dermal tissues creating near immediate tightening as collagen fibers contract. In the months following treatment collagen production is stimulated creating ongoing rejuvenation. The skin's surface is also affected, and may flake or peel for about a week. During this time, no makeup or harsh products should be applied. We will discuss post-treatment skin care during your consultation for laser treatment. With sun savvy practices such as wearing sunscreen every day, patients may lengthen the life of their beautiful skin by several years.

Aurora RF® & Polaris WR® Fotofacial

FotoFacial treatments are suited to individuals who want to improve the condition of their skin without taking time away from work or other activities. These minimal downtime laser procedures treat cosmetic concerns such as mild facial wrinkling and brown spots with radiofrequency, and intense pulsed light technologies.

Fotofacial treatments involve three to five sessions, during which radiofrequency energy is combined with intense pulsed light to improve skin discoloration, fine lines, wrinkles, and skin laxity. The improvements from treatment are the result of controlled heat that is absorbed by cells that produce collagen. Effects of treatment are both immediate and progressive, culminating in lasting, positive change.

GentleMax Pro™ Rejuvenation System®

Another minimal downtime laser treatment, the GentleMax Pro™, is an excellent treatment option for individuals who want to correct issues such as discoloration, sun spots, and age spots.

Iriderm Laser

We may suggest the Iriderm laser for the treatment of vascular lesions such as telangiectasia and angiomas. Broken capillaries on the face respond to heat from this laser by closing off and fading away in a matter of days. Aside from slight stinging during the procedure, there are no lingering side effects from treatment. Patients can go right back to work or other activities.

Vbeam® Laser

This laser device may be used to address concerns such as redness in scars, facial veins, rosacea, vascular birthmarks, red stretch marks, and angiomas. Essentially, any marks on the skin that are red can be treated with the Vbeam® pulsed dye laser. It works by sending yellow light directly to vessels beneath the skin. This causes coagulation and the subsequent fading of the redness.
