Laser Skin Rejuvenation

Erbium laser skin resurfacing

The Erbium YAG is a 2940nm ablative laser used to resurface the outer layer of the skin. It is the treatment of choice for patients wanting to achieve dramatic improvement in the appearance of their skin with minimal downtime. It is used to treat hyperpigmentation, including melasma, fine lines to deep wrinkles, acne scarring, scars and stretch marks. Erbium has been shown to stimulate collagen and elastin production, which will continue to smooth and tighten loose skin. In fact, it is the best way to address the problematic lines that occur around the mouth and eyes.

Treatment areas include face, hands, neck, chest, and body.

How does it work?

The Erbium laser rapidly vaporizes water residing in the skin which delivers an almost instant skin ablation while limiting heat damage in the surrounding area. Each treatment is fully customizable with the ability to resurface the skin from 10 to 100 microns depending on what the client needs and desired downtime.

What if i don't want downtime?

Some clients want the glow without the downtime. For these patients, we offer a fractionated erbium laser. The fractionated lens breaks the laser beam into a grid of tiny beams that create microscopic injuries to the top layer of skin. Because only a “fraction” of the skin is being treated at one time, healing is more rapid and downtime is significantly less.

The micro-injuries stimulate new collagen and elastin production, ultimately smoothing and evening out skin texture and tone.

Laser tattoo removal

Tattoos are the ultimate form of permanent self-expression. We love tattoos. However, sometimes, one can outgrow a tattoo or simply have a change of heart Therefore, we offer laser tattoo removal services to make the permanent, non-permanent. We have a Q-switched Nd:YAG laser that can target most tattoo pigments, including reds and blues.

What is tattoo and pigment removal?

The Q Switched laser is considered the gold standard for tattoo removal. It works by using a beam of light to significantly lighten or completely remove your tattoo. When the ink particles absorb the light from the laser, they heat up and are broken up into fragments and then absorbed through your body’s immune system. The Q-switch is extremely precise, only heating up the tattoo pigment, leaving the surrounding tissue unharmed. The benefit of this is a quicker and less complicated healing time. This process generally takes a few weeks. The larger the tattoo, the more sessions it will take to break down the ink particles.

A Q-Switch laser may also be used to treat pigmented lesions including age spots, freckles, sunspots and some birthmarks. It targets the melanin in the superficial layer of your skin.

what is unique about q-switched tattoo removal?

A Q-switched laser is the only technology that is able to penetrate down to the dermis and shatter tattoo ink (via photo acoustic waves) without causing damage to the surrounding skin tissue. All other methods either aren’t capable of reaching and destroying the ink or cause too much damage to the skin, resulting in scarring. The 1064nm and 532nm cover over 80% of tattoo colors.
