Facial Rejuvenation at Laser Lights

Posted on by

At Laser Lights Cosmetic Laser Center we offer skincare services for the entire body, but we often have patients ask what they can do to address signs of facial aging and uneven skin tone.  We offer facial rejuvenation treatments for all skin types including chemical peels, laser skin resurfacing, and micro-laser peels.facial rejuvenation atlanta ga

Since chemical peels consist of the application of specialized chemical solutions, our experienced professionals can customize a peel for your unique skincare needs. Chemical peels are beneficial in reducing fine lines and wrinkles while restoring collagen in the skin.  Our fruit acid peel is one of our most mild peels available and patients enjoy the minimal to no downtime required.  For a deeper rejuvenation, patients can benefit from Jessner’s and Vi Peels.  The Jessner’s peel penetrates the top, dead layers of the skin to reveal healthy, new skin. This peel can also address acne concerns. The highly adaptive Vi Peel can treat numerous conditions including sun damage, wrinkles, acne, and pigmentation issues.

Our laser skin resurfacing treatments including fractionated CO2 lasers can treat deeper facial wrinkles, melasma, and acne scarring. In addition to the face, Fraxel lasers can also be used to treat the neck, chest, and hands.  Micro-laser peels are also a great option for busy patients who are looking for a shorter recovery period while still eliminating dead skin and stimulating collagen production.  Microdermabrasion is a non-surgical exfoliating procedure that can also smooth and soften skin with minimal downtime and discomfort.

It’s important to remember when considering these facial rejuvenations procedures to avoid direct sunlight and wear SPF of 30+ or more while your skin recovers.

Viora Reaction™ Non-Invasive Technology Tightens Skin and Reduces Cellulite

Posted on by

At Laser Lights Cosmetic Laser Center, we want our patients to look and feel their best.  Like aging, certain skin issues are difficult to avoid including loose skin, wrinkles and cellulite. We often have patients who are healthy but struggle with the appearance of cellulite and loose skin from age, weight loss, heredity and other causes.  To address these common complaints, we offer our patients Viora Reaction™, non-invasive technology for skin tightening and cellulite reduction.viora-reaction-atlanta

This advanced technology uses three simultaneous radio frequency modes for a complete skin treatment. While Viora Reaction™ shows great results for cellulite reduction, patients also benefit from it as an anti-aging treatment. This technology promotes collagen and elastin fiber production and smoothes uneven skin tone, wrinkles and fine lines. This technology effectively treats lax skin, particularly in areas such as the neck and face.

With the competitive workforce of today’s economy, many men and women are looking to restore their youth and appear rejuvenated but cannot take time off for facial surgical procedures. That’s why this non-invasive, pain-free treatment is great for anyone looking to tighten loose skin and cellulite without the downtime and recovery required of traditional body sculpting procedures.

Most patients will notice results after one treatment, but patients typically receive multiple treatments to optimize results.  If you are interested in learning more about Viora Reaction™ or other laser services we offer, please call us to schedule an appointment.

Just a Feel Good Treatment? Face the Facial

Posted on by

Laser Lights offers an assortment of facial treatments to improve overall condition of facial skin. Our menu of services for the face includes chemical peels, facials, microdermabrasion, facial rejuvenation, acne light therapy, and even laser treatments for the face. However, we have heard a rumor circulating that facials are just a “feel good” treatment. Offering an assortment of facials for patients of all ages, we thought we should explain some of the different elements that make our facials much more than just a good wash.

Facials at Laser Lights are therapeutic and medicated to treat a variety of skin conditions from acne and rosacea to wrinkles and hyperpigmentation. In fact, we can even customize our facials to treat your specific skin conditions. Before each treatment our esthetician analyzes your skin to determine the best treatment regimen, which isn’t always a facial. However, these “feel good” treatments are much stronger than most people think.

Our younger patients who still suffer acne breakouts can benefit from our acne facial that loosens and removes pore debris and blockages. We can’t lie, Atlanta facial treatments do feel good, starting with an esthetician who gently cleans the face then sprays the treatment area with a warm mist. Once the medicated ointment is applied and removed, the treatment concludes with a clarifying mask, light moisturizer, and protective mineral sunscreen. With a clearer complexion in the weeks following, you will know that there is more to a facial than just relaxation. Patients who are interested in our acne facial may also be interested in the teen facial (which also teaches teens to properly care for their skin) and our back facial (which takes care of acne breakouts on the back often referred to as “backne”).

Laser Lights also offers facials to reduce early signs of aging. Patients starting to notice fine lines and wrinkles around the mouth, nose, and eyes can benefit from our anti-aging facial that uses a combination of alpha and beta hydroxyl (salicylic) acids to induce skin cell rejuvenation. Because of the chemicals used, the anti-aging facial can cause facial skin to appear flushed, so those with sensitive skin might prefer our European facial. This gentle treatment removes dead skin and surface debris and includes the application of a papaya mask to reduce redness and irritation. We also offer a facial specifically designed for men. This all-in-one men’s facial relieves tension and redness, and our estheticians instruct patients on sun damage protection and daily skin care.

Pore extractions are often combined with facials, but other treatments may be recommended as well. For instance, we often suggest that patients suffering acne alternate facial treatments and acne light therapy to get the most out of treatment. Patients who receive facials are often interested in skin care products so that they can keep their skin healthy at home.

Viora Reaction: The Perfect Prescription for Spring Fever

Posted on by

laser lightsAlthough we’re barely into March, this warm Atlanta weather has got the providers of Laser Lights dreaming about spring break already. Since spring break often entails a trip to the beach or lake, it is time to prepare yourself if you hope to take care of imperfections you may have been hiding all winter longer, like cellulite. These dimpled, shallow fat deposits are almost impossible to get rid of and are a cosmetic concern for most people. Fortunately, Laser Lights offers Viora Reaction™ cellulite reduction and skin tightening treatments.

Even though we’ve offered cellulite treatments like Endermologie®, Viora Reaction™ technology is in a class of its own. Through channeling optimized radiofrequency (CORE™ technology), Reaction™ uses three RF modes at once to boost circulation, reduce fat cell size, and stimulate lymphatic drainage. The fat cells begin to break down as deep tissue is heated, reducing cellulite as well as the circumference of the treatment area. Cellulite reduction patients will see results in just one treatment, but many receive 6 to 8 treatments for optimal results.

Reaction™ not only works for cellulite reduction, it also is a great anti-aging procedure for skin tightening. The RF energy heats the deep facial tissues to tighten skin, increase elasticity, and stimulate collagen production. Reaction™ can safely treat the forehead, cheeks, jowls, neck, and eye area for overall facial rejuvenation. Patients report tighter skin after just one session, but many pursue 3 to 5 treatments for optimal skin tightening results.

Because it’s best to reserve laser treatments for cooler months to avoid sun exposure during warmer months, now is a great time to schedule a laser service. We also have plenty of non-laser services to get you ready for spring. Our facials and chemical peels will help with a glowing, spring-like complexion, but if your complexion needs a little more of a boost to fight acne, you may want to try acne light therapy. Patients traveling to the beach who don’t want to worry about waterproof makeup may want to look into our eyelash and eyebrow tinting services. If you aren’t sure what treatment is right for you, schedule a consultation. Be sure to connect with us on Facebook and Twitter for skin care news, specials, and updates.

What Cosmetic Skin Treatments does Laser Lights Perform?

Posted on by

There’s more to Laser Lights Cosmetic Laser Center than just our laser treatments. We have a variety of spa services to offer patients. Since Laser Lights is co-owned by our laser director Patricia Daniel, R.N. and our medical director David Whiteman, M.D., F.R.C.S.(c), we are able to perform treatments with medical-grade equipment and the highest quality products. Although we offer services like laser hair removal, spider vein reduction, and skin resurfacing treatments, we still provide other non-laser services to boost your morale as well as your complexion.

While some patients visit Laser Lights for medical procedures such as wart or birthmark removal, others come for a relaxing massage or facial. If you aren’t sure what your skin needs, we start with a pre-skin treatment consultation to formulate a care plan just for you. Our younger patients who still suffer acne breakouts may benefit from acne light therapy, a chemical peel, microdermabrasion, or even an acne facial. However, our chemical peels, microdermabrasion, and facials aren’t just for acne sufferers—we offer a variety of types and strengths to benefit patients who are more concerned with signs of aging like sun spots, acne scars, fine lines and wrinkles.

Although many of our services are intended to enhance the face, our menu also includes relaxing body treatments like hand rejuvenation, skin tightening, massage therapy, and paraffin wax for hands and feet. Hands can start to show signs of aging sometimes before the face. Often combined with facial rejuvenation treatments, we perform anti-aging treatments on the hands to increase moisture and reduce wrinkles.

Our non-surgical facelift alternative Viora Reaction™ improves skin texture through the power of radiofrequency energy and works to stimulate collagen production, tighten loose skin on the body, reduce cellulite, and even diminish the appearance of stretch marks.

If you’re interested in learning more about our services, both laser and non-laser, be sure to browse our website or contact us. Don’t forget that we offer monthly specials, so check our blog, Facebook, and Twitter regularly to make sure you don’t miss out.

Skin Damage from Harsh Winter Temperatures? Microdermabraison Could Be the Answer.

Posted on by

One thing that Atlantan’s are not used to is snow – as evidenced by the flurries last week that caused school systems to shut down and families to run to their local grocery stores to stock up on bread and milk.  Living in a relatively warm Atlanta climate, your skin is also not used to the harsh, cold, and dry conditions that come with the winter months.

One of the most effective treatments in refreshing the look of the skin is microdermabrasion.  More commonly referred to as “microderm”, microdermabrasion is a nonsurgical exfoliation procedure that partially or completely removes the outer layer of dead skin cells (known as the stratum corneum).  The procedure is painless, relatively quick, and leaves you with a fresh, healthy layer of skin on your face.

Microdermabrasion is not just effective for climate damaged skin, but can smooth and soften the skin from sun damage and can reduce the look of some fine lines, wrinkles, and scarring.

For more information on microdermabrasion, or to schedule an appointment with an experienced member of Laser Lights staff, call us at 770.495.9322.
