Our Lasers and Lights
Excel V Laser
The Excel V is a dual-wavelength vascular laser that treats rosacea, facial redness, broken capillaries, cherry angiomas, fine leg veins, and benign pigmented spots on all skin tones, with little to no downtime.
Fraxel Restore Laser
Fraxel Restore is our favorite laser for dull, sallow, discolored, and sun-damaged skin. This non-ablative fractional laser improves tone, texture, fine lines, melasma, brown spots, acne scars, and stretch marks over a series of sessions with only a few days of downtime.
Fractional Laser Resurfacing
Fractional resurfacing treats a fraction of the skin in microscopic zones, leaving untreated tissue to speed healing. It refreshes the face, neck, chest, hands, and forearms with a better safety profile than traditional resurfacing.
Photodynamic Therapy (PDT)
PDT combines a topical photosensitizer with BLU-U light to treat precancerous actinic keratoses while also improving sun damage, brown spots, redness, and acne.
Choosing the Right Laser for Your Skin
Different lasers target different concerns, and the best results often come from choosing the right device and settings for your skin type and goals. During your consultation, we’ll evaluate your skin and recommend a laser or combination of treatments to address concerns such as vessels and redness, brown spots, wrinkles, acne scars, and stretch marks. Laser treatments also pair beautifully with injectables for complete facial rejuvenation.
Safety and Sun Protection
Laser-treated skin is more sensitive to the sun, so daily broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher and sun avoidance during healing are essential. We’ll provide detailed aftercare instructions for every treatment to protect your skin and your results.
