Dermatology Laser Treatments

Remarkable results you can see and feel: Introducing the Fraxel DUAL 1550/1927

We have been long term promoters of Fraxel – the pioneer of fractional skin resurfacing – for the treatment of fine lines, wrinkles, acne scarring and pigmentation.

The Fraxel Dual is an advanced version of the Fraxel laser system, offering two distinct wavelengths in one device to treat a broader range of skin concerns more effectively. It was introduced to improve results in skin resurfacing, rejuvenation, and treatment of a variety of skin issues.

The Fraxel Dual combines two different wavelengths:
• 1550 nm wavelength for treating deeper layers of the skin (which helps with fine lines, wrinkles, and acne scars).
• 1927 nm wavelength for targeting superficial skin issues such as pigmentation, sun damage, and age spots.

Overall, the Fraxel Dual is a powerful upgrade in the world of fractional laser treatments, offering patients more options for effective skin resurfacing and rejuvenation.
Fractional laser treatment is the accepted gold standard for treating these conditions:

Acne scars • Periorbital wrinkles • Mask of pregnancy/hormonal pigmentation • Irregular texture • Sun spots and age spots (pigmented lesions) • Aging skin • Sun damaged skin • Enlarged pores • Fine lines & wrinkles, especially around the mouth & eyes

How it works
With fractional laser treatment, you get dramatic results without going under the knife. Instead, the laser treatment uses points of light to precisely treat thousands of microscopic areas of your skin. The treatment penetrates deep into the skin to remove old, damaged skin cells, stimulates your body’s own natural healing process, and replaces the cells with fresh, glowing, healthy skin. Because the technology is so precise, fractional treatment works not only on the face, but also on delicate skin areas like the neck, chest and hands.

With the revolutionary fractional laser treatment, you see a reduction in fine lines, wrinkles, age and sun spots, acne scarring, surgical scars, stretch marks, and melasma. All in a series of treatments with minimal downtime or discomfort.

The number of treatments you will need depends on your goals and desired outcomes as well as your lifestyle. We will work with you to weigh the aggressiveness of treatment with the downtime associated. Typically, patients receive their desired outcomes in 3-6 treatments.

Fractional treatments can be tailored to your desired outcome. Depending on the aggressiveness of the treatment, you may experience redness or swelling after the procedure which diminishes as quickly as the next day or over the next several days. We’ll work with you to determine the best option to fit your lifestyle.

During your free initial consultation, our laser technicians will evaluate your unique needs and explain the procedure in detail. You will have the opportunity to view before and after photos to ensure that you will know what to expect from the treatment. After your treatment our staff will instruct you on the best techniques to care for your skin to maintain your healthy new look.

Introducing the newest version of the V-Beam Perfecta – the industry’s gold standard for treating redness with little or no bruising. Our new Perfecta is fast, visibly effective, and comfortable.

The V-Beam laser is a pulsed dye laser used to treat conditions such as rosacea, facial or nasal veins, leg veins, birthmarks, port wine stains, redness in scars, or any other condition with blood/redness as the primary target.

The light is absorbed by the blood vessels in your dermis. The destroyed vessels are then reabsorbed by the body during the natural healing process.

Side effects from this treatment may include bruising, redness, and swelling in the treated area. These should not last for more than several days. We recommend a minimum of 3 treatments for you to receive optimal results.

Confidently Look Your Best with Nordlys IPL – Intense Pulsed Light 

As we grow older, our skin changes. It becomes thinner and loses its smoothness, and unwanted pigmentation and small vessels can appear. Over time, sun exposure on your face, hands, arms, and chest can accelerate the signs of aging.

Sun damage can result in a variety of vascular and pigmented lesions, including:
• Dark spots
• Uneven pigmentation
• Freckles
• Diffuse redness
• Age spots

Fortunately, you can rejuvenate your skin and keep a younger and fresher look with the Nordlys IPL treatment.

Advanced Technologies, Enhanced Appearance
The Nordlys IPL treatment rejuvenates your sun-damaged skin and makes it look clear and bright by delivering short bursts of light that directly target the blood vessels or melanin within your skin. Potentially harmful wavelengths are removed using patented Dual Mode Filtering. The remaining wavelengths are absorbed by the hemoglobin in your blood vessels—only the treated ones—and the melanin in your freckles, sun spots, or other pigmented lesions. 83% of patients had a greater than 50% improvement in cleared vessels.

What You Can Expect
Prior to your Nordlys IPL procedure, you and your healthcare provider will meet to discuss your treatment goals. It is important to avoid tanning (sun, tanning salons, and self-tanning products) before and during the treatment period.

A treatment could take about 20 minutes, depending on the area of the face or body that you want treated. You should see an improvement after the first treatment, but up to 3 treatments may be required to achieve the full effect.

The number of treatments depends on the location and number of vessels to be treated. Treatments are most efficient in patients with light skin who are not suntanned at the time of the treatment. Preprogrammed settings for different skin types ensure a correct energy output for your skin type.

After treatment your skin may benefit from applying a cold damp cloth to your face or from using an ointment prescribed by your healthcare provider. Also, you should avoid sun exposure for 30 days, even if there is no sign of inflammation in the treated area.

You may notice a sloughing off of some skin or darkening of some pigmented spots for a few days following treatment. After that you will find that your skin looks smoother and fresher. You might choose to have 1 or 2 annual maintenance treatments.

Say Goodbye to Unwanted Facial and Body Hair
• The gold standard laser treatment for hair removal
• Powerful, state-of-the-art laser technology with over 20 years of leadership and proven results
• Fast efficient and convenient treatments keep sessions as short as possible
• Unique cooling system – to enhance your comfort
• Suitable for all skin types
• Providing permanent hair reduction and patient satisfaction in 86 countries around the world.

What You Can Expect
The duration of each session varies from person to person, but on average they last about 20 minutes.

Because hair grows in stages, multiple treatments are required. The number and timing of these treatments will be determined by your provider.

Laser hair removal treatments are commonly described as similar to having an elastic band snapped against the skin during treatment. A topical anesthetic can be used before treatment if desired.

After the treatment, a cool compress or gel pack may be applied. If you do have any redness or swelling after treatment, this should resolve in a couple of hours. Permanent side effects are rare but should be discussed with your provider.

You will be able to resume normal activities after each session, but you may be given specific advice, such as avoiding sun or abrasive skin cleansers on treated skin for a few days.

20 years of patient satisfaction
Don’t let the name fool you. Gentle Pro lasers are powerful, state-of-the-art devices that deliver permanent hair reduction quickly and efficiently. Gentle Pro lasers work by selectively targeting the hair follicle with intense pulses of light energy for thermal destruction, but without damaging the surrounding tissue. This epidermal protection is provided by the Dynamic Cooling Device (DCD) cooling system which sprays the skin before each laser pulse with a liquid coolant. This cooling system is also adjustable, making sure the procedure is as comfortable as possible for individual needs.

This treatment works best on dark colored hair. It is ineffective on blonde, red or gray hair, and we are unable to laser tan or dark-colored skin.

Sun exposure, tanning beds, and sunless tanners will increase risk of hypopigmentation and should be avoided 4-6 weeks before and after treatment.  Furthermore, using indoor tanning beds before age 35 can increase your risk of melanoma, the deadliest form of skin cancer, by 59 percent; the risk increases with each use.

The average number of treatments needed is between 6 and 8, with a minimum of 4 weeks in between treatments. Call for pricing for specific areas.

The Gentle Way to Treat Age Spots, Freckles and Sun Spots

Is how you feel about your skin impacting your quality of life?
• A third of people are concerned with age spots, sun spots, moles and freckles and try to hide them
• More than 20% feel that these marks make others focus on their skin
• Pigmented lesions can be present from birth or develop with age
• Brown marks often develop with age and as a result of sun exposure
• The color change is caused by clusters of pigment cells (containing melanin)
• Extended exposure to sunlight increases the amount of melanin present in the skin
• Gentle Pro lasers can treat different types of skin pigmentation

What you can expect
The number of treatment sessions required varies from patient to patient, but typically two to four sessions are needed.

Each session usually lasts between 15 and 30 minutes, but again will vary depending on your individual needs.

Some people feel a slight discomfort with each laser pulse, describing the sensation as similar to having an elastic band snapped against the skin. Ask your provider what you should expect.

You will be able to resume normal activities after each session, but you may be given specific advice, such as avoiding sun or abrasive skin cleansers on treated skin for a few days.

After the treatment, a cool compress or gel pack may be applied. If you do have any redness or swelling after treatment, this should resolve in a couple of hours. Permanent side effects are rare but should be discussed with your provider.

Fast, efficient, proven
Gentle Pro devices incorporate state-of-the-art technology to deliver short pulses of light energy into the skin. The light energy is absorbed disproportionately by the concentration of pigment which forms the unwanted lesion. This selective delivery of laser energy destroys the excess pigment and fades the lesion, but remarkably leaves the surrounding tissue unaffected. This is the brilliance of laser light.

Gentle Pro lasers remove unwanted benign pigmented lesions anywhere on the body.
