Really the question is, why wouldn’t you? When done correctly, you won’t find a better collagen stimulating treatment capable of resurfacing the skin. Try me! I haven’t met too many patients that don’t have one complaint or a stubborn area of skin laxity, a scar, deep lines or pigment, someone always has something they want to target. The capabilities behind this device are almost endless. Neck lines? Easy peasy! Under-eyes? Add in the upper lid while you're at it! Smoker lines? We start with this.

We numb each area with our medicated numbing agent for 45 minutes to an hour. After cleansing thoroughly we map out the areas for treatment and use a cooling device for pain control. With these two pain relieving options, our patients have found the treatment manageable.

• Cool Peel: $600 

• Under Eyes: $800

• Full Face Mild: $1200 

• Full Face Moderate: $2200

• Full Face Aggressive: $3200 

• Neck/Chest: $850

Each option for treatment comes with different recovery times:

Cool Peel: little to no downtime, maybe 1-2 days of redness, gritty feeling and appearance. Skin may feel like a mild sunburn

Mild: 3-5 days of redness, swelling and above

Moderate: 5-10 days of swelling, redness, oozing, followed by flakiness

Aggressive: 14 days of downtime, with potential for redness up to 4 weeks. You will be red, swollen, with scabbing. 

Results often last several years, however after we have reach optimal results it is recommended to maintain them with 1 treatment a year for upkeep. 

Our practice requires a 6 week preparation with our ZO protocol of either a Tretinon of at least .1% or any of the ZO retinoids, and if you are a Fitzpatrick 3-6, you must be prepped with a hydroquinone for 4 weeks prior. 

What fitzpatrick am I?

• Type 3:
  Mild burns sometimes, tans evenly, considered "fair to beige" skin with the ability to tan gradually. 

• Type 4:
  Burns minimally, tans easily, often described as "light brown" or "olive" skin. 

• Type 5:
  Rarely burns, tans very darkly, typically associated with darker brown skin tones.

• Type 6:
  Never burns, always tans deeply, characterized by dark brown or black skin.

WRONG! We are able to treat all skin types with our laser. Does this mean a Fitzpatrick scale of 5-6 can get as aggressive as a 1-2? No. But, with the proper preparation and device settings I can give a darn good result to everyone.

Temporary redness and swelling, scabbing, peeling and dryness

Rare complications:  pigment changes, scarring and infection
