STATE-OF-THE-ART LASER TREATMENTS FOR AGING SKIN

Genetics, the Sun and Aging
Our DNA, time spent in the sun and the natural process of growing older all express their traits through our skin. For most of history, the signs of aging were our “time stamps,” and they showed themselves through discoloration, uneven skin tone, sagging skin, and wrinkles.

Dramatic Results to Help Minimize the Signs of Aging
Treatments now exist to reduce age spots and freckles, skin laxity, unsightly veins and other signs of aging on our faces and body. The brown mask that can cover our faces and arms can be significantly minimized, returning you to the even complexion of your youth. Both deep and shallow wrinkles can be lessened and lax, sagging skin can be tightened and smoothed. Even acne scars can be part of your past.

State-of-the-Art Lasers
Southern Dermatology & Skin Renewal Center invests in the most recognized lasers in the industry, including Sciton, Clear and Brilliant and Fraxel.

SOLUTIONS OFFERED
Halo Hybrid Fractional Laser:

Halo can help restore youthfulness to your skin, specifically targeting sun damage & fine lines. Because every patient has different needs, based on the amount of sun damage incurred, Halo allows our dermatologists the ability to customize the settings. Halo uses a revolutionary Hybrid Fractional Laser which delivers both ablative and non-ablative wavelengths. The dual wavelengths target both the epidermis (outer layer of the skin) and the dermis (inner layer of the skin) at the same time.

TRL is a full-field skin resurfacing solution that can treat mild to deep wrinkles, persistent lines around the mouth and eyes, acne scars and post-traumatic/surgical scars, actinic keratoses, pigmented lesions, lax skin (including the upper eyelid and the area underneath the eye) subtle signs of aging to advanced signs of aging and sun damage. After evaluating your skin and discussing your goals, our dermatologist will decide what type of resurfacing is necessary (treatments can range from a shallow MicroLaserPeel® to deep resurfacing).

Sciton PROFRACTIONAL™
ProFractional is Sciton’s solution for achieving excellent resurfacing results with minimal downtime. Unlike full-field resurfacing, which removes the entire surface area of a treatment site, ProFractional ablates narrow-diameter channels into the skin, covering a fraction of the total treatment area. This action initiates the body’s wound healing response while leaving the surrounding tissue intact for rapid healing. The benefits of ProFractional include increased comfort, shorter healing times, and tunable results that can range from subtle to dramatic.

Sciton FOREVER YOUNG BBL™
Forever Young BBL is the only laser device that has been scientifically shown to change the expression of genes associated with aging. With regular Forever Young BBL treatments, your skin will look brighter, smoother, and much younger.

Stop the clock on the appearance of aging skin. Forever Young BBL is an innovative technology that uniquely delivers light therapy targeting the signs of aging and sun damage while effectively providing a more refreshed, rejuvenated, and youthful appearance. Forever Young BBL treats a wide variety of conditions, including age spots, freckles, redness, small vessels, and more.

Stanford University conducted the first study to demonstrate Forever Young’s BBL treatments can restore the gene expression pattern of aged human skin to resemble younger skin. The study shows that regular maintenance treatments using Forever Young BBL functionally rejuvenates skin and delays skin aging. Over 1,000 gene expressions became “rejuvenated” to be more like youthful skin resulting in decreased elastosis and more uniform collagen deposition; leading to improvements in fine wrinkles and pigmentation.

Forever Young BBL can also be used to help control active acne. All areas of the body can be treated.

FRAXEL
Fraxel has FDA clearance to treat wrinkles around the eyes, acne scars, surgical scars, age spots/sun spots, melasma (brown patches on the forehead, cheeks, upper lip, and nose), actinic keratoses and skin resurfacing. Fraxel improves tone, texture, visible signs of sun damage, aging and scarring without surgery or extensive downtime. Fraxel is a laser treatment that employs “laser columns” which penetrate deep into the skin to remodel collagen, stimulating the skin to form and grow healthy skin cells from the inside out.

With so many lasers, offering a range of solutions, it’s always best to schedule a consultation with one of our doctors. Your dermatologist will listen to your concerns, evaluate your skin type and discuss what to expect from the procedure.

BBL is a powerful IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) treatment. It sets new standards in treating skin conditions associated with aging, acne, active lifestyles, and sun damage. The light energy delivered by BBL (Broadband Light) will gently heat the upper layers of your skin. The heat absorbed by the targeted areas will stimulate your skin cells to regenerate. This process will help to restore your skin, helping you look more youthful while improving acne, tone, and texture of the skin.

BBL energy allows your dermatologist to treat age and sun spots, small facial veins, and many other skin conditions. Your treatment plan will be tailored to match your skin type and your desired results.
