Lasers Overview
Lasers are one of the newest and most effective tools in the battle against aging. By using laser technology, Changes Plastic Surgery & Spa is able to treat a large number of skin conditions both on the face and the body.
Fraxel
Fraxel ® uses fractionated laser light that precisely treats thousands of microscopic areas of skin, using pinpoint laser beams that penetrate beneath the skin’s surface to eliminate old, damaged skin cells.
FX Laser Resurfacing
Changes Plastic Surgery & Spa offers the Fractional CO2 FX laser resurfacing treatment (by Lumenis Aesthetics). The FX Laser uses a CO2 fractional laser technology to treat pigmentation, fine lines, aged, sun-damaged or scarred skin, and deep wrinkles. The overall is the effect is that you turn back the clock on your skin by getting a more youthful, healthy looking face.
Icon PhotoFacial
IPL (Intense Pulse Light) Photofacial is a popular, minimal downtime treatment for the correction of pigment changes and redness associated with facial flushing and rosacea. IPL works by using light energy from a combination of wavelengths to penetrate into the dermis while leaving the epidermis (outside layer of skin) untouched.
Laser Vein Removal
Visible red veins on your face or body can be cosmetically undesirable. Changes Plastic Surgery & Spa offers Cynosure Icon non-invasive laser technology to reduce visible facial veins, facial redness and flushing, rosacea, superficial veins (telangiectasias) and cherry hemangiomas.
Laser Hair Removal
Women and men alike can now make unwanted facial or body hair a thing of the past. Changes Plastic Surgery & Spa offers the Icon Laser by Cynosure which is safe for all skin types. It is a non-invasive laser specifically designed to eliminate undesired hair from all parts of the body, including the face, legs, arms, underarms, and back, as well as more sensitive areas like the chest, nipples, and bikini line.
Stretch Mark Removal
Stretch marks are a serious concern for many people and have traditionally been very difficult to remove. Stretch marks or striae may form on the hips, thighs or buttocks, appearing as pink, red, purple or white lines on the skin. These marks occur if the collagen layer of the dermis (a skin layer that contains blood capillaries, nerve endings, and other structures) breaks or tears due to rapid skin expansion.
Scar Repair
Advances in medical laser technology have made the treatment of scars easier and more effective than ever. At Changes, we use the newest laser technology to both treat the surface color of the scar, and also to go deeper and break up the collagen bunches that cause the scar.
Skin Renewal
Refreshing the quality and appearance of your skin is easy with the no down-time Icon 1540 Laser. This fractional erbium laser procedure resurfaces the skin to remove aging changes such as wrinkles and brown spots. The Icon 1540 stimulates new collagen production to plump the facial skin, minimize facial wrinkles and improve skin laxity.
