Your mother was right: Beauty is only skin deep, But so are the age spots, acne scars, fine lines and wrinkles that mar your skin. CO2 laser skin resurfacing removes most of these imperfections, leaving your face smoother and free of blemishes. Your skin’s color and glow are restored.

BEFORE & AFTER: CO2 treatment improved overall skin health. These photos are of our actual patients.

What is CO2 laser skin resurfacing? Using the computer-driven CO2 laser, Dr. Smith or Dr. Roth remove the outermost layers of skin. Pulsating at less than one thousandth of a second, the laser enables the surgeon to remove only as much skin as is necessary – deeper where needed and lighter where there is less damage.

How does the laser remove wrinkles? The laser stimulates the production of new collagen fibers that give the skin its elasticity. This collagen also fills in the creases, leaving you with new, smoother, younger-looking skin.

Does it last? In effect, you start over with new skin. If you take care of this new skin and protect it from the sun, it will continue to look smooth and clear.

Does it hurt? Because you are asleep and being monitored by an anesthetist, you don’t feel the laser treatment.

For a few days after surgery, you will be asked to follow a strict program of care for your face. You will look as if you have a bad sunburn. While you won’t be in pain, you will probably want to stay at home for seven to ten days until the redness subsides.

How long is recovery? Healing is different for everyone. We follow you closely during the healing period to ensure you get the best possible results. Most patients can resume wearing make-up in seven to ten days. Some patients’ faces stay pink longer than others, but they can use concealer and make-up.

Is it worth it? One patient’s response after CO2 laser skin resurfacing is typical. “I look fifteen years younger. People tell me I look great - rested and younger. They don’t know what has happened, but they notice how much better I look. That makes me feel better, too.”

Laser Hair Removal
For many men and women, unwanted hair can be embarrassing, and getting rid of it can be difficult. Until now the only options for removing undesired hair were irritating depilatory creams, plucking, shaving, waxing or electrolysis. Now there’s a more effective solution. Our LightSheer™ Diode Laser is a state-of-the-art system specifically designed to remove unwanted hair faster, with less discomfort, and more reliably than other methods. It is also effective and safe for all skin types including tanned and dark skin.

Laser hair removal is a fast and effective process. Since the laser treats more than one hair at a time, it is possible to treat large areas such as the face, back, shoulders, arms, and legs. Hair can be removed from the ears, brows, underarm, or any area of the body. More than one treatment is required.

Photo Rejuvenation

BEFORE & AFTER: Photo Rejuvenation

This novel laser technology was designed to combat the effects of aging in a soft, gentle way. It uses a revolutionary process that delivers the laser energy through your skin’s surface to gently stimulate the production of collagen while protecting the outer layer of your skin. The new collagen softens the appearance of aging skin. Unlike CO2 laser and chemical peels, Photo Rejuvenation does not resurface the skin. It simply triggers collagen replenishment with stimulation, and tightens your skin to diminish the appearance of wrinkles.

Photo Rejuvenation uses various wavelengths of the BBL Laser which selectively targets the capillaries and brown spots, and stimulates a chain of natural events that lead to an enhanced rate of collagen production. Photo Rejuvenation actually works beneath the surface of the skin, instead of heating and removing the top layer of skin tissue.

Photo Rejuvenation is so gentle there is no interruption of your normal life. A series of five treatments are recommended for optimal results. During these treatments, you will see an ongoing improvement in how your skin looks and feels.

Laser Treatment for Leg Veins and Face Veins

What is the Sciton/YAG Laser? This laser relies on the ability of the blood vessels and the blood itself to absorb certain frequencies of light. Large doses of energy are delivered rapidly, destroying vascular lesions. Treatment takes just a few minutes; no needles are used and no foreign material is injected into the body, so there is minimal pain.

Is it true that this treatment can be used for other blood vessel problems such as redness of the face or facial veins? This laser works beautifully on birth marks, portwine stains, angiomas, telangiectasia and pigmentation of the face and body. We can also treat brown spots and splotches with this laser.

ProFractional

ProFractional is a procedure which dramatically improves wrinkles, scars, tone and texture of the skin and sun-damaged skin.  This laser uses a laser microbeam to treat thousands of pinpoint areas of your skin.  Because only a fraction of the skin is directly treated with the laser, healing time is quick and downtime is short.  The zones of untreated skin invigorate the body’s natural healing process, and the treated areas stimulate production of new collagen, plumping up the skin and smoothing out wrinkles, lines, scars and other irregularities.  If you are looking for younger looking skin in a treatment with a fast recovery, then you may be an ideal candidate for ProFractional.  It can be used on any skin type.  It may only take one treatment or if you want more intense results you may want more than one treatment. You can treat not only the face but the neck, chest, hands and any other part of the body.   The procedure takes about 30 minutes to perform.

Immediately following the procedure you will experience redness, slight swelling and a mild sunburn sensation.  Complete healing take about 1-4 days.  You can resume normal activities immediately and put make up on within three days.

MicroLaserPeel

Now you can have younger looking, healthier feeling skin with a popular new treatment-the Contour MicroLaserPeel.
The “weekend” skin peel, the MicroLaserPeel treats skin conditions associated with aging and an active lifestyle.  You can see real improvements in just a few days.  MicroLaserPeel is an intra-epidermal laser peel that precisely ablates the outermost layers of the skin.  The procedure is individually tailored to the nature of the condition to be corrected.  Skin conditions such as wrinkles, scars, acne scars, keratoses, or pigmentary problems have been very successfully treated.  If you are looking for more that microdermabrasion or light chemical peels and have little time for a prolonged healing process, then the MicroLaserPeel was designed for you.

The MicroLaserPeel is a partial-to-full epidermal peel (20-50 microns) and is performed with topical anesthetic.  Because this procedure ablates deeper into the epidermis, it is the perfect step between microdermabrasion and full skin resurfacing.  You will experience smoother, healthier, more vibrant skin, with a significant, immediate change in the skin texture and tightness as compared to microdermabrasion.
