Laser Treatments For Wrinkle Reduction - Revitalizing Healthy, Beautiful Skin

Working to provide our patients with gentle alternatives to revitalize the healthy, beautiful complexion they once had, West Dermatology now offers innovative new lasers such as CoolTouch, Smoothbeam and Vbeam.  These lasers provide a non-invasive, non-surgical solution that is a very safe yet highly effective alternative to other laser procedures that require large investments in time and money and may necessitate long recovery periods.

Softening The Signs Of Aging

Unlike traditional laser treatments and other wrinkle-reducing procedures that work to correct only the surface of the imperfection, these laser treatments use advanced technology to penetrate below the skin to soften wrinkles and gradually restore the skin’s elasticity from within.

An Advanced Way To Repair and Replenish Collagen

The innovative designs of these laser systems protect the outer layers of your skin and the sensitive nerve endings of your face while directing a beam of energy just below the surface of your skin.

  • CoolTouch-By combining a cooling mist with a precise laser pulse, the system stimulates cells underneath your skin called fibroblasts.  It is these cells that produce collagen, the basic building block of your skin that keeps it soft, supple and strong. Through a series of treatments, the layer of collagen continues to thicken, significantly improving skin elasticity and gently softening the wrinkles and fine lines of age.  In fact, many of our patients report significant improvement in the tone and texture of their complexion and notice that their wrinkles and fine lines have become less visible.
  • Smoothbeam-Using a similar cooling system as mentioned above, the Smoothbeam laser treats wrinkles, acne and facial scars.
  • Vbeam-This laser is used for the treatment of telangiectasias, port-wine stains, periorbital wrinkles, facial veins, rosacea, leg veins, port wine stains, hemangiomas, scars, stretch marks, and warts.
  • LightSheer-LightSheer lasers treat leg veins, benign pigmented lesions, pseudotolliculitis Barbae (often refered to a razor bumps) and other skin problems developed by over exposure to the sun. The LightSheer system also has the ability to permanently reduce hair growth and treat the entire range of skin colors and hair types.  
  • Lumenis One-Lumenis treats acne, age spots and sun damage, birthmarks, fine lines and wrinkles, freckles, scars, stretch marks, unsightly veins, and unwanted hair. The laser reduces redness in the skin and also helps to smooth skin texture.
  • Vasculight-Vasculight lasers work by using a beam of pulsed light that travels through the skin destroying the unwanted vein or mark above. The Vasculight system treats rosacea, telangiectasias or spider veins, port-wine stains, strawberry hemangiomas, sun spots, photo-aging, and even some stretch marks and acne scarring.
  • Diolite-Diolite lasers are mainly used for the treatment of lesions but are also used to treat other issues such as rosacea, freckles, and hair removal. This laser system works by generating a beam of light which heats the skin destroying the negative cells and leaving the healthy cells unharmed. The gentle and precise treatment of the Diolite system provides the patient with safe, consistent results.
  • Alexandrite Laser-The Alexandrite laser works using the system of selective photothermolysis, which is carefully timed pulses of laser energy passing through the skin. The energy is absorbed and changed into heat at the hair follicle. The Alexandrite system is the fastest and most widely used laser for hair removal.   
  • Mccue-Mccue is a pulsed light laser that works by delivering rapid short pulses of light energy.  This laser is unique because it specifically treats different skin care issues by changing the way the pulses of light are emitted. This treatment is used to improve the visible signs of sun damage, rosacea, veins in the face and body, and hair removal.
  • Aesthera-At West Dermatology, we believe you deserve the best and so we're the first to offer a breakthrough, clinically proven PAINLESS Hair Reduction treatment called PPx by Aesthera. The PPx also treats acne, sun damaged skin, brown spots, redness and broken capillaries safely and effectively. The device works by drawing the skin into the treatment tip of the laser while a gentle light energy is emitted to the treatment area. After passing over the treatment area, the skin is released into normal position. Numbing agents are unnecessary for this procedure.
