How does laser skin care work?

Lasers have seemingly limitless abilities in medicine and aesthetics due to their power and precision. For example, they can improve your skin’s tone, texture, and overall quality in many ways. 

At Premier Wellness & Aesthetics Center, Dr. South offers several types of light-based skin care treatments:

Laser skin resurfacing

During a laser skin resurfacing procedure, a single-wavelength laser carefully and precisely removes the surface layer of your skin that accumulates the damage from aging and weathering.

Laser skin tightening

The energy from the laser device heats the tissues deep within your skin to help it grow new collagen and elastin fibers. The result is tighter skin with fewer wrinkles.

Laser lip plumping

With lasers, you can boost collagen growth in your lips. This makes them appear more supple, shiny and defined.

Vaginal revitalization

Vaginal revitalization is a treatment for women who have recently given birth or have unwanted menopause-related symptoms like vaginal dryness. It may help improve the strength of your pelvic floor and vaginal tightening and lubrication.

Intense pulsed light (IPL)

IPL isn’t quite the same as a laser. Instead, IPL devices emit bright flashes, like camera flashes, of many wavelengths of light at once. IPL light is scattered instead of focused and reaches the second layer of your skin after passing through the surface.
