Laser & Light-Based Procedures at Face & Eye Aesthetic Center

As we age, our skin begins to change as a result of several different life factors. The natural collagen within the skin begins to diminish and skin may sag and droop. Laser skin resurfacing is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure used to reduce the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines and other skin irregularities.

CO2 Laser

The CO2 laser is used to treat fine lines and wrinkles of the periocular and facial skin. It improves the texture of the skin by stimulating collagen production and gives the skin a more youthful and rejuvenated look. The treatment is performed under IV sedation in an operating room to minimize any discomfort. The laser treatment is often performed in conjunction with upper and lower eyelid blepharoplasty. While this procedure may be most commonly performed to treat the effects of aging, it can be performed on patients of any age who are looking to restore their skin to a smooth, clear complexion free of blemishes and other imperfections.

Laser Skin Resurfacing offers patients many advantages over traditional resurfacing procedures such as chemical peels and microdermabrasion, as it practically eliminates side effects such as discomfort, bleeding and bruising.

Although laser skin resurfacing using the same basic principles of other procedures and treats aging, damaged skin by removing a layer of skin, it does so through a noninvasive procedure that uses laser energy to remove as much skin as needed. This allows for a much deeper removal through more precise and less invasive techniques. Laser skin resurfacing can be used to treat:

  • Wrinkles
  • Sun damage
  • Crow’s feet
  • Brown spots
  • Blotchiness
  • Precancerous growths
  • Acne
  • Chicken pox scars
  • Superficial facial scars

Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) Therapy

Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) Therapy is a non-invasive cosmetic treatment that uses broad-spectrum light to improve skin tone and clarity. IPL targets pigment and vascular irregularities beneath the skin’s surface, gently heating and breaking them down so the body can naturally eliminate them. This treatment helps restore a more even, radiant complexion with little to no downtime.

A series of four treatments is typically recommended, with the number of sessions varying based on your individual skin concerns, skin type, and treatment goals.

IPL can help improve the appearance of:

  • Sun damaged skin
  • Hyperpigmentation
  • Age spots and freckles
  • Redness and broken capillaries
  • Uneven skin tone
  • Chalazia/Styes
  • Fine lines
  • Overall skin rejuvenation
