What Are the Benefits of Laser Treatments?

Improved Complexion

Laser skin resurfacing, such as fractional laser technology or the photofacial, works to eliminate sun damage and age spots to create a younger, brighter, and more evenly toned complexion.
Removal of Unwanted Hair

Unwanted hair can be inconvenient and annoying. Waxing is painful, shaving is time-consuming, and it is easy to miss spots. Laser hair removal eliminates unwanted hair from the face and body so that you can avoid the struggle of shaving and waxing.
Elimination of Wrinkles

Wrinkles on the skin can cause a person to appear older than they are. Unwanted signs of aging can negatively affect a person’s self-image. A photofacial or fractional laser treatment can help eliminate wrinkles to create smoother, younger-looking skin.

How Is Laser Treatment Performed?

Laser Hair Removal

Laser hair removal works to eliminate unwanted hair and delay regrowth by emitting light energy into the follicles that is converted to heat. This heat damages the hair follicles, delaying future hair growth so that you can have smooth skin without the hassle of shaving, waxing, or plucking.
Photofacial
The photofacial works by emitting light into the skin, which is absorbed by the pigment as it generates heat. The heat stimulates collagen and elastin production, improving the skin’s complexion.

Photofacials reduce the appearance of:
- Dark spots
- Acne scars
- Broken capillaries
- Fine lines
Fractional Laser
Fractional laser treatments use laser energy to create tiny holes (punctures) in the skin. This healing process stimulates collagen production to rebuild new, healthy skin cells.

Fractional lasers can improve:
- Fine lines
- Dark spots
- Pitting
- Scars (resulting from acne, surgery, and burns)

What Are Your Concerns About Laser Treatments?

Results

You may not see the results of your laser hair removal immediately, and additional treatment sessions are necessary to treat the hair at all stages of regrowth. These treatments are typically performed every five to eight weeks.

Results from a photofacial typically appear within a week of each treatment and improve with time. You may need multiple treatment sessions to achieve your ideal look.

You will see your results from a fractional laser treatment appear gradually as your skin heals. This may take up to a few months, and additional treatment may be necessary.
Pain

You may feel some discomfort during your laser treatment. Your doctor may apply a numbing cream to ensure your comfort.
Cost

Laser resurfacing costs will depend on your specific goals for your skin and the type of skin resurfacing you undergo. The cost is also dependent on the location of the procedure and any combination treatments. Schedule a consultation with Dr. Hiatt to receive a detailed financial estimate based on your needs.
Recovery

Your skin may be red after your laser hair removal treatment and appear as if it was sunburned. Cold compresses and moisturizers may be used to ease any discomfort.

Photofacial requires little to no downtime; however, it is important to avoid wearing makeup for at least 12 hours after your treatment. To maximize your results, you should take care of your skin by cleansing, moisturizing, and wearing sunscreen every day.

After your fractional laser treatment, your skin may be red and dry. Use a cold compress on your skin to help with the discomfort. It is also important to moisturize and avoid direct sunlight. If you must be in the sun, use a broad-spectrum sunscreen.
