The Laser Facial™
As we age, and by the time we reach our mid 30's our collagen and elastin, the infrastructure under our skin gets depleted at a faster rate than our body can produce. This is why primarily we look aged. Lines and wrinkles begin forming, our skin starts to sag, and we loose our convex contouring or facial tone, worst of all we end up with uneven discoloration of red and brown blotchiness.
The Laser Facial(TM) reverses this process; it restores and rebuilds your own collagen, improves skin smoothness and texture, tightens and tones your skin, eliminates fine lines and reduces the appearance of wrinkles as well as eliminates red and brown blotchiness.
You are a good Candidate for The Laser Facial™ treatment if:
- You are a female over the age of 30 and if you are interested in improving the appearance of your skin.
- You are seeking to postpone more aggressive treatment, such as surgery.

The Laser Facial™ laser treatment is a new, non-invasive way to renew your skin. The Laser Facial™ procedure requires 2 or 3 lasers, depending upon your skin condition and age. The first laser focuses on the lines and wrinkles. This stage of the treatment targets and heats collagen in the upper dermis, while protecting the epidermis; stimulating new collagen and elastin formation.
This increase in collagen thickness under the epidermis will plump up your skin and give it the tone and contour it used to have.
The second laser in this process is used on the remainder of the face to stimulate collagen formation. It also improves the skin texture, tones the skin, eliminates blemishes, spider veins, and evens Rosacea for healthier glowing skin.
The third laser may be used depending on your skin condition and age. At this stage of the process the laser is used to stimulate additional collagen for even more smooth and tight skin, as well as eliminating brown spots, blotchiness and discolorations.
A typical treatment will take between 30 and 45 minutes, depending on the degree of aggressiveness you and your laser clinician decide on. Your treatment can be a "lunchtime" procedure, in which you can go right back to work...or more aggressive, in which there will be a brief recuperative period. Consult with your laser clinician about your treatment schedule and intervals between subsequent treatments. Typically 2 to 4 treatments are required to achieve your goals.
You and your laser clinician will wear safety glasses to protect your eyes during the procedure. The laser clinician will use a small hand piece with a probe that touches your skin to deliver the laser light.
You will feel the light spray of coolant onto your skin just before each laser pulse. A topical anesthetic may be applied depending on the area of treatment.
Because the laser's Cooling Device is so effective, many patients report the procedures as "mild", with little more than a slight snapping or tingling sensation. Of course, pain is subjective, and topical anesthetics can be used, if the patient wishes.
The Laser Facial™ treatment is designed to improve your overall appearance, however, your laser clinician at your request may focus on certain areas where lines or wrinkles are bothering you the most such as crows feet, lower eye lids, upper lip, etc. |
