We always recommend a skincare regimen that includes a targeting face wash, toner, and moisturizer. Regularly following this routine will help bring out the radiance of your skin and keep it healthy. However, sometimes there may be other cosmetic issues, such as fine lines and wrinkles, that require a little more help.
Board-certified dermatologist Dr. Rodgers and our medical estheticians offer a full range of cosmetic services to help you look and feel your best. This is where laser treatments often come in to play, and at Rodgers Dermatology, our selection of laser options are extensive.
Laser treatment options at Rodgers Dermatology
Intense Pulsed Light (IPL)
This option is not a true laser, but it is a broad spectrum of light that we can use to treat several benign skin conditions simultaneously. It’s often the answer many patients need to achieve healthy, beautiful looking skin.
IPL is an effective treatment for conditions, such as:
- Redness of the face, neck, and chest
- Freckles, sun spots, photodamage
- Photo-aging and sun damage
- Broken veins and capillaries
- Other blemishes
- Rosacea
Laser hair removal
For those who are tired of tweezing, shaving, waxing, or chemical depilatories, laser hair removal is a great option. We have cutting-edge lasers for laser hair removal, including the LightSheer DUET, the LightSheer INFINITY, and the SPLENDOR X. Lasers can vary in effectiveness, safety, and pain, but these two work wonderfully.
Both the DUET and INFINITY focus laser energy through the skin to disable unwanted hair follicles. The lasers can safely remove hair from all parts of the body, including cheeks, arms, legs, underarms, back, and the bikini area. This safe, effective procedure can provide long-lasting or even permanent results with unsurpassed safety and comfort.
SPLENDOR X allows us to customize hair removal and skin treatments across a huge spectrum of skin tones like never before. No matter what your skin tone is like, we can make this laser work for you. The treatment is quick and easy, and perfect for wrinkles and vascular and pigmented lesions.
Laser hair removal typically provides 80% permanent hair reduction with approximately 20% re-growth that is finer, lighter, and thinner. Usually six treatments are needed over several months, and this can vary with skin type and hair density. Sun exposure and tanning should be avoided in treated areas.
One pass is all it takes with ResurFX
For skin resurfacing, the ResurFX includes the only true fractional non-ablative technology. One pass is all it takes to be effective for ideal results that you will be happy with. Since it takes only one pass, it will save you time and help protect your skin.
PicoSure skin treatments for problem areas & tattoo removal
PicoSure is a quick and easy non-surgical, non-invasive laser skin treatment that can help you achieve a more youthful appearance. This laser can treat many areas of the body, including chest or décolleté, face, hands, legs, and more. Patients have also experienced great results for the treatment of acne scars, brown spots, sun damage, pigmented lesions, and wrinkles.
We can also use the PicoSure laser for tattoo removal. Ultra-short pulse bursts of energy are delivered to the skin in just trillionths of a second. The picosecond pulse width is 100 times shorter than the nanosecond technology used with traditional tattoo removal systems. Clinical studies show that PicoSure is able to treat darker, multi-colored, and complex tattoos more efficiently, with more significant removal in much less time.
Ultherapy for lifting
Ultherapy is the only FDA-cleared non-invasive treatment for lifting the skin on the neck, chin, and brow. It’s also the only non-invasive treatment specifically FDA-cleared to improve lines and wrinkles on the décolletage. Ultherapy uses focused ultrasound to stimulate collagen deep within the skin. You experience no downtime, and results include tighter skin. Over time, this results in the creation of new, healthy, strong collagen and a variety of positive skin changes.
VBeam treatments
The Vbeam laser produces an intense but gentle burst of light that selectively eliminates the blood vessels and redness within the treated area without damaging the surrounding tissue.
The Vbeam is an effective treatment for:
- Face veins (telangiectasias)
- Spider veins (legs)
- Redness of the face, neck, and chest
- Rosacea
- Hemangiomas (large and small red bumps or growths)
- Red birthmarks (port wine stains)
- Other vascular lesions, including venous lakes (blue spots, usually found on lips)
- Pink or red scars and stretch marks
- Brown pigmentation and freckles
- Wrinkles around the eyes
- Poikiloderma (redness of the neck)
When it comes to all of these laser treatment options, Dr. Rodgers and the team at Rodgers Dermatology have the expertise and skill needed to evaluate your particular goals and develop a treatment plan that is right for you.
