Laser skin therapy is an innovative, technologically advanced way to promote vibrant and healthy looking skin in men and women. Now you can have a youthful appearance by treating those conditions that are typically associated with premature signs of aging and sun damage, such as excessive redness, large pores, uneven texture, and fine line wrinkles.
The laser skin therapy procedure utilizes laser technology to safely, discretely and effectively treat scars and excessive diffuse redness. It is a comfortable, non-ablative, non-invasive form of skin therapy. Patients have noticed dramatic improvement in uneven skin texture, large pores, and fine line wrinkles. You can expect to see subtle yet consistent results after each treatment, without unwanted side effects such as bruising or excessive skin irritation. Your therapy can be performed in a relaxed, comfortable manner without the use of topical anesthetics or gel.

What areas can be treated?
Laser laser skin therapy patients report excellent results over their entire faces and necks. Additionally, this therapy is used to diminish recent scars on other parts of your body.
What is diffuse redness?
Diffuse redness is a general appearance of facial redness, such as rosy cheeks. This condition is caused by dilated capillaries, resulting in an appearance of general redness, not discrete, well-defined vessels. The most commonly affected areas are the nose, forehead and cheeks. Diffuse redness is often associated with a condition called rosacea and it can be hereditary. Our laser skin therapy will help your appearance by gently treating and reducing this condition.
What does the procedure feel like?
Patients often describe the treatment as relaxing and therapeutic. You will experience a gentle warming of your skin's surface during the procedure as the laser handpiece is moved back and forth about 1/2 inch above your skin. You can expect to immediately return to normal activities, utilizing sunscreen if participating in outdoor activities.
How does the laser skin therapy work?
By gently heating the upper dermis well below your skin's surface, the laser skin treatment stimulates collagen regrowth. Additional heat is generated in dilated capillaries to reduce redness.
What can I expect before the treatment?
You will not need to apply any gel, anesthetic cream or ice prior to treatment. Before the actual laser skin treatment, you will be asked to remove your make-up or moisturizers and, in some cases, you may be asked to shave the area to be treated so as not to interfere with the laser therapy. We will review and assist you with all pre-treatment requirements.
How many treatments will I need?
The treatment results are often subtle. On average, you will probably require six treatments in order to achieve the results you are looking for. Treatment of rosacea may need only four treatments. Every patient's condition and needs vary. We will consult with you about your expected results and the number of treatments necessary.
What are the possible side effects?
Although most patients report few, if any, side effects, the most common is a slight redness that disappears within a few hours of treatment. We will provide you with complete information about the benefits and risks of treatment.
What kind of textural improvements can I expect with the skin therapy?
Over the course of four to six treatments, our laser skin therapy can help restore your skin's youthful glow and appearance by smoothing out uneven textures caused by aging, sun damage or scars. You will see a more creamy, healthy complexion as large pores are reduced in size, and minor imperfections are diminshed. The individual treatment results are subtle, but the overall effect of multiple treatments can be quite dramatic.
