Laser Skin Treatment

What It Treats

Laser skin treatment is for the marks that sit on or just under the surface: sun spots and age spots, freckles, diffuse redness, and the small visible vessels on the face and legs (spider veins and other vascular lesions). It also gives overall tone and clarity a lift.

If your main concern is texture, depressed acne scars, or deeper lines, a laser like this is not the right tool, and we will say so. Those respond better to Morpheus8, and we would rather point you there than oversell this.

How It Works

We use the GentleMax Pro, the same laser dermatologists have trusted for more than two decades and the one we use for hair removal. Each pulse sends light into the skin that is absorbed by the pigment in a spot or the blood in a small vessel, breaking it up or closing it off while leaving the surrounding skin alone. The gentle warmth also prompts the skin to build collagen over time.

Before every pulse the laser sprays a quick burst of coolant onto the skin, which takes most of the sting out and helps the skin settle faster.

What to Expect

Sessions are quick and most people tolerate them well. A treated spot often darkens first, then flakes away over a week or so; redness usually settles within a day. You can return to your day right away, just keep the area out of the sun and wear sunscreen.

How much you need depends on the concern. A single stubborn spot might clear in one or two visits, while broad sun damage or redness usually does better over a short series.

Your First Visit

We look at your skin and what you want to change, since both decide whether the laser is the right call and how the settings are matched to your skin tone. We will give you an honest estimate in person rather than quote a number here.
