Laser Services in Orlando

As you age, you can develop fine lines, wrinkles, age spots, and uneven skin tone or texture. When these cosmetic concerns bother you, you have options. Laser resurfacing is a skin rejuvenation procedure that changes the skin’s appearance and can treat minor facial flaws, like mild to moderate acne scars.

Laser resurfacing treatments might be your “secret weapon” as it helps to brighten, tighten, and smooth your skin’s appearance. For many of us, the airbrushed glow we seek is elusive, regardless of our age. While using masks, scrubs, and retinoids at home may help, non-surgical resurfacing procedures like our laser services in Orlando can help you achieve your goals better and faster.

What Are Laser Treatments?

Laser treatments use light amplification to resurface the skin by harnessing the power of light and heat. Lasers create a controlled injury. This stimulates your body to heal so the skin looks better than it did before.

Laser treatments also promote the production of collagen, which is the structural protein responsible for firm skin. There are two types of laser resurfacing treatments: ablative and non-ablative.

Ablative lasers are the most powerful and remove the top layer of skin and part of the second layer. Recovery time can be roughly a week and sometimes more, and the final results typically show up in about six months. Non-ablative laser treatments are gentler and direct the energy to the deeper tissue.

These types of laser resurfacing treatments in Orlando are better for people with darker skin or those who tend to develop scar tissue as they pose a lower risk of hyper or hypopigmentation. Fractionated lasers use heat and light, cause less trauma, and have a quicker healing time.

Types of Laser Resurfacing

During your consultation with an experienced plastic surgeon, they will listen to your cosmetic concerns and evaluate your skin type before recommending the type of laser treatment that has the highest potential for successfully meeting your aesthetic goals. Some of the types of laser resurfacing we offer at our practice in Orlando include:

Sciton Halo™

The Halo is the first hybrid fractionated system that offers an anti-aging treatment with shorter recovery periods. The treatment forces the skin to increase collagen production and restructure.

Most people can apply makeup within 24 hours, and you notice improvement to your skin within just a few weeks. The process can treat a variety of skin conditions—including enlarged pores, uneven tone, scarring, discoloration, and age spots.

Sciton BBL™ Hero

The BBL™ Hero stand-alone system uses intense pulsed light therapy to clinically treat a wide range of skin conditions at the cellular level. This helps increase collagen production, making your skin look younger.

The system can treat conditions related to sun damage and aging—such as acne scarring, redness, rosacea, hyperpigmentation, and wrinkles. Using a new technology that produces high energy and rapid output, you experience little to no discomfort during the procedure and minimal downtime during recovery.

Intense Pulse Light Treatment (IPL/BBL)

Utilizing a flash of light in a specific light spectrum, IPL/BBL can improve sun-damaged skin, uneven pigmentation, freckle reduction, facial vessels, and redness.

This non-invasive treatment uses high-intensity light to target specific cells. Unlike other laser resurfacing treatments, the IPL uses several wavelengths at the same time to penetrate deeper into the skin while ensuring the top layer is not damaged. This contributes to the significantly shorter recovery period.

Profractional

Profractional treatments were designed with your life in mind. The procedure uses an ablative laser over a narrow diameter channel in the skin, so the area heals at a faster rate with little discomfort and dramatic results. The device delivers microbeam lasers that boost your production of collagen in a treatment that often takes between 15 and 30 minutes.

This laser resurfacing procedure is designed to improve skin coloring, laxity, wrinkles, and scarring, as well as stimulate collagen growth. Three to five treatments may be needed to achieve the desired results.

Microlaser Peel (MLP)

The MLP treatment is sometimes dubbed “the weekend peel.” It is more aggressive than microdermabrasion but less than a fully ablative laser treatment, so you have often healed enough to be in public after a weekend at home.

The treatment removes the superficial layer of damaged skin and creates a new, refreshed look and feel. MLP is an ideal option for sun-damaged skin, wrinkles, scars, and overall pigment concerns. A series of two to four treatments may be recommended, spaced four to six weeks apart.

Laser Hair Removal

The GentleLase™ is one of the industry’s premier laser hair removal systems, offering outstanding clinical effectiveness with a dynamic cooling advantage, allowing increased patient comfort.

The treatment offers the removal of unwanted hair from your arms, legs, armpits, chest, or back using concentrated energy to damage the hair follicles and inhibit or delay growth. You will be given a set of pre-treatment instructions to follow that help minimize complications and improve the results. A minimum of six treatments is recommended.

Morpheus8™

Morpheus8 combines microneedling with radiofrequency technology. This creates a fractional resurfacing technique that stimulates collagen production. There is little to no damage to the dermis.

This device targets the deeper layers to provide a uniform effect and promotes the production of collagen. It can be used on the face and body to reduce wrinkles, discolorations, and acne scarring.
