Our Ablative Lasers
ALMA Harmony XL Pro Pixel Er: YAG – Erbium Yag Fraxel
The Erbium YAG laser targets the water in skin cells, vaporizing them to remove micro-layers of skin. The fractionated aspect of the device creates microchannels in the skin, prompting the body to generate new cells and produce more collagen. This results in smoother, more youthful skin with noticeable improvements in lines, scarring, acne scarring and hyperpigmentation.
Patients generally find the treatment comfortable after the application of a topical anesthetic. Recovery usually takes just a few days, during which the skin may flake and peel. Multiple sessions might be necessary to achieve the best results.
Cutera Secret Pro – CO2
The CO2 laser is a powerful tool for more intensive skin resurfacing needs. The CO2 laser uses a slightly longer wavelength that penetrates deeper into the skin, making it highly effective for treating more pronounced wrinkles, deeper scars, and more significant sun damage. This laser works by vaporizing damaged skin cells at the surface and stimulating deep collagen remodeling, leading to a more dramatic rejuvenation.
