Treatment Options for You

NanoLaserPeel™ and MicroLaserPeel®

Gentle Resurfacing for Subtle Improvements

Perfect for addressing dull skin, mild wrinkles, and pigmentation concerns, these quick treatments offer results that outshine microdermabrasion.

Downtime: 24-72 hours for NanoLaserPeel™, 5-7 days for MicroLaserPeel®.
Duration: 15-30 minutes.
Best For: Mild wrinkles, sun damage, keratosis, and pigment irregularities.

How it works:

A laser gently ablates a thin layer of skin, removing damaged cells and revealing a smoother, more vibrant complexion. Ideal for regular maintenance or as a boost to your skincare routine.

Pro-Fractional™ and Pro-Fractional-XC™

Targeted Resurfacing for Remodeling and Repair

This fractional laser treatment promotes collagen remodeling, reduces scars, and improves overall skin texture.

Downtime: Moderate, depending on treatment intensity.
Best For: Scar repair, deep wrinkles, and texture improvement.

How It Works:

By creating microchannels in the skin, this treatment stimulates natural repair processes while leaving surrounding tissue intact for faster healing and dramatic results.

Contour TRL™

Deep Resurfacing for Dramatic Rejuvenation

The most advanced option for patients seeking to address severe wrinkles, deep scars, and uneven tone. This tunable laser allows precise customization to your skin’s needs.

Downtime: Up to 7 days, with ongoing collagen production for months.
Best For: Deep wrinkles, acne scars, actinic keratosis, and poor skin tone.

How It Works:

Contour TRL™ removes damaged skin layers with micron-level precision, jumpstarting collagen production and revealing a smoother, younger-looking complexion.
