The laser is a revolutionary skin care tool that we use to reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, and active acne. The treatment works by stimulating the production of natural collagen deep within the skin.

Best of all, the laser does not burn, cut, or remove the surface layers of the skin. It works through the outer layers to stimulate collagen production in the underlying layers of skin.

How the Skin Laser Works

The laser works by heating the upper dermis, close to the surface of the skin, for the most visible results. The patient does not feel this heat on the surface of his or her skin because of the laser’s built-in cooling system designed to protect the skin from damage. The laser’s heat targets the dermis layer, which produces collagen. As this area is stimulated, collagen production increases, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and the sebaceous glands are forced to shrink. This helps to control any active acne the patient may have.

Recovery and Results

Treatment with the laser skin resurfacing results in smoother, more evenly textured skin. After the laser procedure, most patients require no significant aftercare and can return to their normal activities immediately. However, patients should avoid direct sun exposure for one month and take care not to irritate the skin with harsh or exfoliating cleansers. Treatments with laser are quite effective for reducing enlarged pores, fine lines around the eyes and mouth, wrinkles, and acne scarring. This laser treatments can also be used regularly to manage acne and maintain a fresh, renewed complexion.
