Laser & Energy-Based Treatments
Laser and energy-based treatments use controlled light or heat to target deeper layers of the skin. These treatments help improve tone, texture, and collagen production while supporting long-term skin health.
A gentle fractional laser that improves skin tone, texture, and pigmentation with minimal downtime. It works by creating microscopic channels in the skin, encouraging collagen production and allowing for better absorption of targeted skincare.
This treatment removes damaged skin layers while stimulating deep collagen remodeling. It is typically recommended for more advanced texture concerns, sun damage, and deeper lines. Results develop over several months as the skin rebuilds.
A customized treatment approach designed to improve skin tone and overall quality using energy-based technology. It is often used as part of a broader plan focused on gradual, natural-looking improvement.
This approach combines Lutronic Genius RF microneedling with Lutronic LaseMD Ultra laser treatments to address both skin firmness and surface quality in one coordinated protocol. The Genius tightens deeper skin layers through radiofrequency energy, while the Ultra improves tone, texture, and pigmentation at the surface. It is ideal for patients looking to improve overall skin quality with a balanced, gradual result rather than a single aggressive treatment.
ellacor® is an FDA-cleared device that tightens skin through a process called micro-coring, removing microscopic columns of excess skin tissue without heat or laser energy. Unlike RF or laser treatments, this mechanical approach works particularly well for skin laxity in the lower face, neck, abdomen, upper arms, and above the knees where loose skin is the primary concern. Results develop over several weeks as the surrounding tissue contracts and remodels, creating gradual, natural-looking firmness.
Laser treatments work well for patients looking to improve skin quality rather than change their appearance dramatically. Good candidates typically have concerns about skin texture, sun damage, fine lines, or acne scarring and want gradual, natural-looking improvements. Your skin type, medical history, and lifestyle factors all play a role in determining which laser treatment is safest and most effective for you.
During your consultation, Marisa evaluates your skin's anatomy and discusses your goals to recommend the most appropriate laser option. Some skin types require special considerations or alternative treatments, which is why a medical assessment is essential before any laser procedure.
Your laser treatment begins with a thorough consultation where Marisa examines your skin and explains exactly how the chosen laser will work for your specific concerns.
Before treatment, your skin is cleansed and a topical numbing cream may be applied for comfort. During the procedure, you’ll feel controlled sensations as the laser works on your skin. Treatment time varies depending on the area and laser type, typically ranging from 20 to 45 minutes.
