Adults, usually around the age of 30, begin to lose collagen at a rate of about 1% per year. It is this loss of collagen that is responsible for the development of fine lines and wrinkles on the face and neck. Collagen loss is also largely responsible for the reduced elasticity and moisture in your skin as you age. Now, through the proper use of a laser device or Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) device your skin can actually be stimulated to produce new collagen, the underlying protein building block in the skin. By stimulating new collagen production in specific areas, we can soften or eliminate fine lines and wrinkles around the lips, eyes and forehead, improve crow's feet near and around the eyes, and flatten and blend scars. By using different lasers we can also remove brown spots, freckles or areas of uneven pigmentation, decrease pore size and eliminate those annoying red spider veins around the nose and cheeks.

Laser face rejuvenation with a non-ablative laser device or IPL usually requires about 6 treatments of approximately 30 minutes each, typically spaced 2-3 weeks apart. Since the treatments are non-invasive and the results occur gradually over a period of time, your skin will begin to take on a youthful, healthy, and natural appearance. Semi-ablative laser peels also offer excellent rejuvenation results in 1-3 treatments usually 4-6 weeks apart. These treatments have minimal downtime and pain and provide more collagen tightening than non-ablative lasers or IPL devices. You'll look younger, more alert, and feel better about yourself.
