Laser Skin Resurfacing

Laser skin resurfacing is a minimally invasive procedure that is very effective in eliminating the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, blemishes, and acne scars on your skin. By directing short, concentrated pulsating beams of light at problem areas, our laser technician can create a smooth, blemish-free complexion in as little as 45 minutes.

Laser Skin Resurfacing at Southeastern Plastic Surgery

Our laser technician uses proven methods and state-of-the-art technology to provide laser skin resurfacing treatments. We offer a variety of treatment options to enable us to customize a plan that will meet your unique needs.

We offer:

• CO2-ablative laser, which delivers thousands of laser pulses in a specific pattern over your skin. CO2 laser resurfacing eliminates pigment discolorations and wrinkles on the surface of the skin while also stimulating collagen in deeper layers to promote a fuller, more appealing look. As an ablative procedure, surface skin will require time to heal.
• Laser Genesis, a non-ablative procedure that uses light to penetrate deep into your skin. This process stimulates collagen, and can eliminate the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, uneven skin texture, large pores, scars and generalized redness. This is not only a painless procedure, but also a pleasant one.  As a non-ablative procedure, no recovery time is required for this procedure.
• LimeLight Facial, a new, non-invasive approach to skin rejuvenation using Cutera’sLimeLight, an intense pulsed light. The procedure offers the advantage of improving skin tone and surface imperfections associated with aging and photodamage.
• The LimeLight Facial is ideal for any part of your face, neck and décolleté with skin redness, telangiectasia (tiny veins) or brown spots. Light (low contrast) brown spots, which were previously difficult to resolve, respond very well to treatment. Immediately following treatment, brown spots will start to darken and your skin may appear slightly red. The treated area may be mildly swollen. This typically lasts a few hours and possibly a day or longer. Make-up can be applied to cover the redness.
• Cutera Titan, an infrared light which penetrates and heats the deep dermis tightening the skin and improving appearance. Common areas treated include the jaw line, cheeks, chin and abdomen

Other Laser Procedures

In addition to laser skin resurfacing, we are pleased to offer other laser treatments including:

• Laser hair removal - a procedure that can remove unwanted hair from any part of your body. By using a safe, but powerful laser, we can target the follicles of your hair, inhibiting future hair growth. This is a permanent solution for unsightly and embarrassing hair, but it may take multiple treatments to be completely effective.
• Laser vein reduction - a laser treatment that permanently reduces the appearance of veins on your face and legs. This procedure is safe, effective, and can restore a smooth, unblemished look to your skin.
