ERBIUM LASER SKIN RESURFACING (MICRO LASER PEEL)

WHAT IS ERBIUM LASER SKIN RESURFACING?

The Erbium YAG is a 2940nm ablative laser used to resurface the outer layer of the skin. It is the treatment of choice for patients wanting to achieve dramatic improvement in the appearance of their skin with minimal downtime. It is used to treat hyperpigmentation, including melasma, fine lines to deep wrinkles, acne scarring, scars and stretch marks. Erbium has been shown to stimulate collagen and elastin production, which will continue to smooth and tighten loose skin. In fact, it is the best way to address the problematic lines that occur around the mouth and eyes. Treatment areas include face, hands, neck, chest, and body.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

The Erbium laser rapidly vaporizes water residing in the skin which delivers an almost instant skin ablation while limiting heat damage in the surrounding area. Each treatment is fully customizable with the ability to resurface the skin from 10 to 100 microns depending on what the client needs and desired downtime.

IPL PHOTOFACIAL

WHAT IS A PHOTOFACIAL? 

A photofacial is an FDA approved, non-invasive treatment that utilizes IPL or intense pulse light technology to minimize and reverse

the signs of aging and treat a wide array of skin conditions such as: Hyperpigmentation, including sun damage and age spots,

vascular lesions, including broken capillaries and rosacea, as well as acne.  Depending on the wavelength, it will target specific

chromophores including melanin (for hyperpigmentation), oxyhemoglobin (for capillaries) and the P. acnes bacteria (for acne). In addition, the heat causes micro-trauma to the dermis layer of the skin which stimulates the production of collagen and elastin reducing fine lines and wrinkles, toning and tightening the skin for a more youthful appearance. 

IPL is unique in that it treats skin damage at the dermis layer without damaging the skin’s surface, so there is no down time. Treatment areas include the face, neck, chest, back, legs arms and hands.

• Boosts collagen and elastin production  

• Reduces or eliminates hyperpigmentation due to sun damage or freckles  

• Treats vascular lesions including broken capillaries, blood vessels, telangiectasia , and rosacea (skin flushing/redness)  

• Reduces the appearance of scars (acne, chickenpox, etc.)

1064 YAG VASCULAR (VEIN/ROSACEA) TREATMENT

WHAT IS A LONG PULSED YAG (LPY) AND HOW DOES IT WORK?

The Spectrum’s 1064nm Long Pulsed YAG Laser allows the practitioner to precisely treat visible vessels, broken capillaries, spider veins, and vascular lesions on the face and body by using laser energy. Once the laser light is applied to the skin, it enters the vein, where the energy from the laser is absorbed and the vein walls collapse and seal shut, eliminating the vein’s appearance on the skin. Usually, the vessels collapse during the treatment session, but there can be some post-treatment redness and swelling. Following treatment sessions with aggressive sun protection can produce longer-lasting results and prevent the formation of similar lesions.

LASER TATTOO REMOVAL

Tattoos are the ultimate form of permanent self-expression. We love tattoos. However, sometimes, one can outgrow a tattoo or simply have a change of heart Therefore, we offer laser tattoo removal services to make the permanent, non-permanent. We have a Q-switched Nd:YAG laser that can target most tattoo pigments, including reds and blues.

  • The Q Switched laser is considered the gold standard for tattoo removal. It works by using a beam of light to significantly lighten or completely remove your tattoo. When the ink particles absorb the light from the laser, they heat up and are broken up into fragments and then absorbed through your body’s immune system. The Q-switch is extremely precise, only heating up the tattoo pigment, leaving the surrounding tissue unharmed. The benefit of this is a quicker and less complicated healing time. This process generally takes a few weeks. The larger the tattoo, the more sessions it will take to break down the ink particles.

    A Q-Switch laser may also be used to treat pigmented lesions including age spots, freckles, sunspots and some birthmarks. It targets the melanin in the superficial layer of your skin.

  • A Q-switched laser is the only technology that is able to penetrate down to the dermis and shatter tattoo ink (via photo acoustic waves) without causing damage to the surrounding skin tissue. All other methods either aren’t capable of reaching and destroying the ink or cause too much damage to the skin, resulting in scarring. The 1064nm and 532nm cover over 80% of tattoo color

  • Good - Black, Blue, Dark Blue, Dark Green, Brown, Red, Purple, Orange.

    Difficult – Tan, Yellow, Bright Green, Sky Blue.
