  • The Best Laser Skin Resurfacing: 7 Options for Radiant Skin

    Dr. Collins

    As time passes, our skin gradually loses its elasticity and smooth, supple texture. The good news is that advancements in cosmetic laser technology provide us with a range of options to rejuvenate and restore a more youthful, luminous complexion.

    This post will discuss the laser skin treatments we offer at our Mystic and Guilford, CT, medical spa offices and the skin concerns they’re designed to address.

    1. Halo® Laser: Reveal Your Best Skin

    The Halo laser is a hybrid fractional laser that combines two wavelengths to target both the surface and deeper layers of your skin—making it highly customizable. This treatment can improve skin texture and reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, scars, and pores. Downtime will vary depending on the intensity of your treatment.

    2. BBL HERO®: Address Multiple Skin Concerns at Once

    BBL (BroadBand Light) Hero is designed to treat large areas of the face and body and target a range of skin concerns. This technology, the most powerful intense pulsed light treatment currently available, uses broadband light to penetrate the skin’s surface, breaking down pigment and reducing redness. BBL HERO can also stimulate collagen production, resulting in a more youthful-looking complexion.

    3. MicroLaserPeel®: Rejuvenate Dry, Tired-Looking Skin

    Often called a “weekend peel” because it requires so little downtime, MicroLaserPeel removes dead skin cells on the skin’s surface and can target various depths of the dermis. Its versatility enables us to tailor the treatment to your unique needs. MicroLaserPeel is a light resurfacing treatment that can reduce the appearance of various skin imperfections, including lines, wrinkles, sun damage, keratosis, hyperpigmentation, and scars.

    4. NanoLaserPeelâ„¢: Smooth and Refresh Your Skin

    NanoLaserPeel can be an excellent treatment option if you want to address your skin concerns with little post-treatment recovery time. NanoLaserPeel can improve skin concerns such as sun damage, fine lines, and scars with only 1 to 3 days of downtime.

    5.  Contour TRLâ„¢: More Intensive Skin Resurfacing

    Contour TRL (Tunable Resurfacing Laser) is a highly customizable, leading-edge YAG erbium laser skin resurfacing treatment that can be tailored to your specific skin concerns. This treatment can be adjusted to target precise skin depths to reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, sun damage, and acne scars. It can also improve skin texture, tone, and firmness.

    Contour TRL is a more intensive treatment that can produce dramatic, long-lasting results. Patients typically need 3 to 5 days of recovery time after treatment at a shallow skin depth or 5 to 7 days after a deeper procedure. You can expect gradual skin improvements over 4 to 6 months following treatment.

    6. MOXIâ„¢: Improve Texture and Tone

    MOXI is a non-ablative fractional laser treatment popular among patients seeking to improve the overall texture and tone of their skin. This treatment is a gentle, yet effective way to reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and pigmentation issues with little to no downtime. The number of treatments required to achieve optimal results will depend on your skin type and concerns, but many patients see visible improvement after just one or two sessions. Because the treatment fits so easily into almost any lifestyle, MOXI can be an excellent option for regular skin maintenance.

    ProFractional Laser®: Address Deeper Wrinkles and Scars

    The ProFractional laser is designed to address deeper scars, wrinkles, and other significant skin concerns. This treatment is a popular option for those seeking to achieve dramatic improvements in the overall texture and appearance of their skin. The intensity can be adjusted to achieve the best results for each patient’s specific needs. Recovery time varies depending on the depth of treatment, but most patients require about 5 to 10 days of downtime.
