Laser Facials

This new laser technique is called photo facial. It is a non-ablative (does not break the skin), non-invasive treatment requiring no down time. The laser warms the collagen under the skin, thus stimulating collagen (the skin protein) production to plump up the skin. This helps reduce fine lines, improve the tone of the skin, and promotes an even complexion (in conditions like Roseacea).

This treatment, however, is not a replacement for a facelift. It does not tighten loose skin around the jowls, jaw or neck line. Prime candidates are typically in their 30's to early 50's with good skin tone. Initially, five or six treatments are recommended, usually scheduled once a month. Then two to three times a year treatments are recommended on a maintenance basis. The treatment time takes approximately thirty minutes or less and can be done during a lunch hour.
