Fractionated and Ablative Laser Skin Rejuvination

Just because you've turned 30+ or even 60+, you don't have to look your age. While there is no fountain of youth magic cure for aging that has been discovered yet, Skin Rejuvination with ablative and fractional lasers is truly incredible. Most of our clients who've had this procedure will tell you that they look years younger. You can have baby-smooth skin, even if you had problematic skin, have scars from acne breakouts.  With Fractional Lasers in the hands of a skilled practitioner even surgical scars disappear!

The advantages of ablative or fractional lasers:

• Usually requires only one to two treatments
• No injections, only topical anesthetic required prior to treatment
• Predictable and immediate results
• Improved skin texture, tone, and tightening, with positive improvements continuing for up to 6 months after the treatment
• Treatment possible of upper and lower eyelids to eliminate wrinkles and folds

Fine lines, Rhytids, Sun Damaged Skin, Lentigenes, Actinic and Solar Keratosis, Sebaceous Hyperplasias, Acne and Traumatic Scarring, Hyperpigmentation, Enlarged Pores, Clogged Pores, Milia, moderate lines and wrinkles, Sun Damaged Skin, Lentigenes, Actinic and Solar Keratosis, Acne and Traumatic Scars, Melasma and Hyperpigmentation, Striae (Stretch Marks).

What happens during the treatment?

After you arrive at the facility, you will have a topical anesthetic cream applied to the treatment area for about 45 to 60 minutes. The topical cream is then removed, your face is cleaned and prepared for the procedure.   In some cases, depending on the length of the procedure, you may be given a sedative and oral pain medication.  A physician uses a laser to treat the skin - the treatment takes about 20 - 30 minutes. The treatment may feel a bit uncomfortable, but is generally not described by clients as painful. Immediately after the treatment, the skin will appear red, sometimes slightly swollen and a bit uncomfortable. Most clients also report an immediate tightening of the skin. Post care is easy after the treatment. You will keep a protective layer of a moisturizing gel or vaseline on the treated area for several days. After, your skin will peel or flake, revealing brand new perfectly soft and textured bright skin. This process typically takes from 4 to 7 days, but most people are ok to return to normal activities within 4 to 5 days.

Who is a good candidate for the treatment?

A good candidate for this treatment is someone typically between the age of 30 to 65, with no significant medical conditions that are contra-indicated (i.e. history of skin cancer, diabetes, skin disorders, etc.). If you have sun damage (brown or red spots), uneven skin texture (wrinkles and fine lines), and skin laxity (loose skin), chances are you're a good candidate for this treatment. Your medical history will be reviewed by the physician during your consultation to make sure you are approved to proceed with the treatment.

How much does the treatment cost?

The price of the treatment depends on the area(s) treated, the number of treatments required, and the type of laser used. In general, the per treatment price ranges from $300 - $2000. We do offer specials from time to time. Please call our office to schedule your FREE consultation.
