Laser Rejuvenation Treatments in Scottsdale
Also Serving Patients in Phoenix
Whether you experience premature signs of aging or have skin conditions that impact your complexion, laser treatments can be effective for a spectrum of aesthetic concerns. The right laser technology for your needs depends on the severity and type of skin issue. Dr. Ali Ghafouri and our team of skincare providers will listen to your goals and develop a customized approach to improve your facial appearance with a smoother skin texture and even tone.
Types of Laser Treatments
Photofacial (IPL Therapy)
Intense pulsed light (IPL) therapy is often called photorejuvenation or photofacial. IPL treatments utilize a wide range of light wavelengths. This light spectrum is absorbed by melanin, the substance in your tissues responsible for skin pigmentation, and oxyhemoglobin which occurs when hemoglobin combines with oxygen and forms a bright red substance. By targeting these compounds, photofacials can effectively reduce pigmentation concerns such as brown sunspots, red broken capillaries and rosacea. IPL treatment can also improve acne and enlarged pores and create a uniform skin texture and tone.
Photorejuvenation with IPL therapy is a common choice for our patients because it can treat all skin types and may be used on the hands, chest, neck and face. Treatments start with a cool numbing gel to protect the skin and a handheld device that glides over the skin. The laser technology reaches the deep skin layers without damaging the skin’s surface, addressing the targeted pigmentation concern with a gentle approach that allows for little to no recovery period afterward.
For this reason, photofacials with IPL are enticing for many men and women. You may experience mild redness but can go about your daily routine.
ResurFX™
ResurFX™ is a fractional laser technology that restores a youthful look through non-ablative skin resurfacing. Non-ablative lasers use controlled wavelengths to heat the tissues without ablating (evaporating) the moisture in your tissues, offering more comfort during the treatment session and less downtime afterward.
ResurFX™ offers excellent clinical results because the technology triggers your body’s healing process to create more collagen and elastic fibers and strengthen the skin. These proteins are the key to radiant, youthful skin and work to heal skin traumas, such as acne or surgical scars. ResurFX™ focuses on a fraction of skin in the targeted area to improve your specific concerns precisely, reducing damage to surrounding tissues.
This state-of-the-art technology is the only fractional, non-ablative option on the market, and ResurFX™ works to improve skin discoloration, loose skin, scarring and fine lines and wrinkles. CoolScan scanning technology allows you to feel comfortable throughout your treatment, and there is minimal recovery involved.
Photofractional Laser Resurfacing
Photofractional laser technology combines the benefits of IPL therapy and ResurFX™ technology to provide complete facial rejuvenation at our Scottsdale office. These treatments by Lumenis® offer comprehensive improvement for various skin concerns, including rosacea, facial veins, active acne, acne scarring, lines and wrinkles and unwanted discoloration, such as tattoos and birthmarks.
With photofractional laser treatments, you can address skin discoloration and promote neocollagenesis (new collagen) for a renewed skin texture and tone reminiscent of your youth. The combination of technologies allows you to manage all of your skin concerns in one session with minimal recovery.
Laser Skin Resurfacing with TotalFX
TotalFX provides complete laser skin resurfacing utilizing two laser technologies: DeepFX™ and ActiveFX™. The UltraPulse® CO2 laser by Lumenis offers deep tissue and surface layer correction, addressing an array of skin issues. The technology can deliver amazing results, from deep wrinkles to fine lines and uneven skin texture and tone. TotalFX even offers skin tightening for an overall youthful transformation.
Laser skin resurfacing with TotalFX is known as the “non-surgical facelift” due to its versatility in treating aesthetic concerns. Recovery can include five to seven days of downtime, depending on your treatment details.
How Much Do Laser Treatments Cost?
The cost of your laser treatments depends on the technology, number of treatment areas and severity of your aesthetic concerns. Some patients will require more treatment sessions than others to reach their ideal results. Dr. Ghafouri will discuss your goals during your consultation and determine which laser treatment best fits your needs and available downtime.
