Laser skin rejuvenation is the perfect treatment for those looking for a safe, quick procedure to rejuvenate and revitalize the skin. This procedure is a top choice of celebrities, as well as the working population, who cannot afford time away from work to recover from more intense procedures. This procedure offers long-lasting results for those wishing to reduce wrinkles and acne scarring and improve the long-term health of their skin. Repeat treatments at intervals are also an ideal way to maintain your skin’s youthful vitality.
At TMD Medi-Spa we use the MedLite® C6 for skin rejuvenation, which has been which has been FDA-approved for the laser resurfacing of acne scars and wrinkels. This laser works by stimulating collagen production without destroying the overlying skin cells. As new collagen is formed with each treatment, lines and wrinkles become smoother. Additionally, large pores, scars, and acne pits become smaller and less noticeable.

This laser rejuvenation is “non-ablative.” This means that it is both safe and their is no downtime. Unlike ablative laser treatments, such as CO2 laser, that work by destroying skin cells, the Medlite works through a “photo-acoustic” effect that is very safe and can be used in all skin types and colors.

Laser skin rejuvenation at TMD Medi-Spa can:

• Reduce fine lines and wrinkles
• Reduce/improve acne scars
• Improve crow’s feet
• Smooth smoker’s lines around the mouth

For good results, we offer multiple treatments every 2 weeks for 6 treatments. The best results are achieved when choosing the maintenance program that involves an additional 10 monthly treatments. Laser rejuvenation is even more effective when combined with mini-microdermabrasion. A combined treatment can be accomplished on the same visit.

Another option for more rapid and aggressive treatment is with Fraxel.  Fraxel laser treatment may be combined with this laser anti-aging program for more robust initial results and excellent durability of the improvements.

Is treatment safe?

The Medlite laser used for skin rejuvenation is one of the safest procedures for cosmetic skin care on the market today. It is safe for all skin types and skin colors.

What areas of the body can be treated?

Virtually any area can be treated, but the most popular are the face, the hands, neck, and upper chest.

How many treatments will I need?

Laser skin rejuvenation is a gradual process. Collagen build-up is not complete for 6-12 months, so results will continue to improve with time. At TMD, we begin with a 6 treatment every 2 weeks to initiate the process, followed by a recommended 12 monthly treatments for maintenance. Mini-microdermabrasion augments the process by exfoliating the skin and clearing out pores.

Who performs the treatments?

Your treatments will be performed by Jeannine, our physician assistant. Jeannine performs all the laser treatments at TMD.

Does the treatment hurt?

Laser skin rejuvenation is virtually painless and no numbing cream is required.

How long does each treatment take?

Amazingly, the process is fast, taking only 5-10 minutes per treatment.

What happens after each treatment?

You may experience some redness and occasionally bruising after your treatment which are all temporary. Wear SPF 30 sunblock (available at TMD Medi-Spa) and speak to our esthetician about other anti-aging skin care products.
