Laser Skin Resurfacing

a relatively painless and revolutionizing laser procedure which can reduce wrinkles, clear blemishes and sun damaged skin.

Laser Skin resurfacing is also good in treating the neck, upper chest and the hands to improve unsightly freckles, sunspots or damaged skin. Low-power, long-pulse laser energy is applied to an area and the energy is absorbed in the upper dermis of the skin causing new collagen to grow helping to reduce wrinkles over several months. Simultaneously, the laser energy removes outer epithelial layers of the skin.

The unique properties of the laser will help clear the face of the sun spots and other pigmented lesions as well as sun damaged skin, while facial wrinkles are dramatically reduce.

Laser Collagen Remodeling

Our Fotona Nd:Yag laser is a 1064 nanometer laser that penetrates to the collagen layer in your skin to gently heat and stimulate new growth of collagen resulting in tightening of the skin.

This very safe and non-invasive procedure is often called “the lunch hour face lift”. Collagen is the “backbone” or structure to our skin, much like the framework to a house. As we age, our collagen bands relax, causing our skin to sag and develop lines and wrinkles. Just like going to the gym and lifting weights stresses muscles, resulting in new muscle growth and toning, this deep heating of the collagen also results in new collagen growth.

This new growth can result in up to a 40% tightening of skin.

Q & A

How will my skin look after treatment?

In most people there is no sign that a treatment has been done. A computerized scanner will safely and evenly provide a pattern of pulses over the entire face. The neck may also be scanned. The treatment can be completed in as little as 20-30 minutes, easily done on a lunch break!


How many treatments will I need?

Just like you cannot life weights one time to tone muscles, you must begin with a series of treatments. A minimum of three treatments, four to six weeks apart, are recommended. Follow up treatments will be needed to maintain continued collagen growth.


How long will it take to see results?

Because we are stimulating your own collagen to grow, results will not be seen overnight. This is a gradual change which will be seen over weeks to months. Your age and general health will affect your individual results. This new growth can result in up to 40% tightening of skin.
