Facial Skin Treatment

The laser solution for skin damage

Are you a candidate for alaser FACIAL? The answer is "Yes" if your skin shows evidence of chronic exposure to the sun's ultraviolet light.

Physicians call the condition "photodamage," and the most obvious signs are coarsening of skin texture, wrinkling, irregular pigmentation, and enlarged blood vessels and pores.

Laser FACIALs produce visible improvement of sun damaged skin through the use of laser technology to remove enlarged blood vessels and irregular pigmentation, and stimulate the underlying collagen.

How do I know if I have photodamaged skin?

If you are over 30 years old and enjoy an active lifestyle your skin is probably showing signs of damage.

How does laser treatment reduce the signs of photodamage?

Lasers work by focusing a beam of light to a target in the skin such as enlarged blood vessels and irregular pigmentation. The enlarged vessels and irregularities are removed without scarring or damage to the treated or surrounding area and the underlying collagen is stimulated.

Do lasers work on all skin types?

Today's advanced lasers are capable of treating a wide variety of skin types.

Which other conditions are treatable by lasers?

Elimination of red and brown blemishes, reduction of minor wrinkles, and a general tightening of your skin's collagen.

How many treatments are required?

Typically several treatments are required for full face treatment. Treatments take from 30 to 60 minutes. Results may become apparent after the first few treatments.
