Laser & Energy-Based Skin Treatments

IPL Photofacial

IPL delivers broad-spectrum light energy that selectively targets pigment (melanin) and hemoglobin in the skin without damaging the surrounding tissue. It is one of the most effective treatments for sun damage, age spots, redness, and visible blood vessels.

The light energy is absorbed by discolored targets in the skin. Pigmented spots darken briefly and then flake off over 1–2 weeks. Redness and broken capillaries are reduced as treated vessels are reabsorbed by the body. The overall effect is a noticeably clearer, more even, and more radiant complexion.

LaseMD

LaseMD is a non-ablative fractional thulium laser that creates microscopic treatment columns in the skin without removing the surface. This stimulates the skin's natural repair process — producing new collagen and elastin while leaving surrounding skin intact to support rapid recovery.

LaseMD is particularly well-suited for patients who want meaningful skin improvement with minimal downtime. It can be customized in intensity and is safe for a wide range of skin types, including darker tones that may not be candidates for more aggressive treatments. It also creates microchannels through which customized serums or growth factors can be delivered for enhanced results.

Fractionated CO2 Laser

Fractionated CO2 is the most powerful skin resurfacing treatment available and produces the most dramatic results. It delivers ablative laser energy in a fractional pattern — vaporizing tiny columns of skin tissue while leaving surrounding tissue intact to facilitate healing. This triggers a profound collagen remodeling response that continues for up to a year after a single treatment.

CO2 resurfacing addresses skin concerns that milder treatments cannot: significant sun damage, deep lines and wrinkles, moderate-to-severe textural irregularities, acne scarring, and skin laxity. The trade-off is a more significant recovery period of 5–10 days, during which the skin will be red, swollen, and crusting before revealing fresh, smoother skin beneath.

For patients willing to invest in recovery time, a single CO2 treatment can achieve results equivalent to years of milder treatments. It is frequently combined with surgical procedures (such as blepharoplasty or facelift) to comprehensively address both structural and surface-level aging.
