Rejuvenate Your Skin from Within
What is laser resurfacing?
Our aesthetic specialist leverages the cutting-edge Sciton Joule laser platform to deliver exceptional skin rejuvenation results. This versatile device utilizes ProFractional Laser Resurfacing, Contour TRL, and Halo technology to address a wide range of skin concerns. By creating microscopic channels in the skin, these fractionated ablative 2940 er-yag laser treatments stimulate collagen production, remove damaged skin cells, and improve skin texture, tone, and overall appearance. Patients can experience a significant reduction in fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, and other imperfections, along with tightened and firmer skin. The Sciton Joule offers dramatic results with minimal to moderate downtime compared to traditional CO2 lasers.
Precision Treatment for Optimal Results
What is the laser resurfacing procedure like?
On the day of your ablative laser resurfacing treatment with the Sciton Joule, our aesthetic specialist will review the procedure and address your questions. Your skin will be cleansed, and a topical anesthetic applied. Protective eyewear will be provided. The aesthetic specialist will then carefully pass the laser over the treatment area. A cooling device may be used for comfort during the procedure. The treatment typically takes 30-60 minutes, depending on the areas being treated.
How the Sciton Joule Lasers Work
ProFractional Laser Resurfacing in Denver
- Fractional Ablation: This technology utilizes a 2940 er-yag laser to create microscopic channels in the skin.
- Stimulates Collagen: The damaged skin cells are removed, and the body is stimulated to produce new collagen, leading to improved skin texture and reduced wrinkles.
Contour TRL:
- Thermal Relaxation Mode: This mode uses a pulsed CO2 laser to heat the dermis without causing significant damage to the epidermis.
- Collagen and Elastin Production: By heating the dermis, Contour TRL stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, resulting in improved skin firmness and elasticity.
HALO:
- Hybrid Ablative Laser: HALO combines a non-ablative laser (1064nm) with a fractional ablative laser (1540nm).
- Dual-Depth Treatment: The non-ablative laser targets deeper layers of the skin, while the fractional ablative laser treats the surface layers. This dual-depth approach provides comprehensive skin rejuvenation.

It’s Glow Time
Am I a candidate for laser resurfacing?
Laser resurfacing can be a transformative procedure for those seeking significant improvement in their skin texture and appearance. Here's a quick guide to see if it's right for you:
- Visible Signs of Aging: If you're bothered by wrinkles, fine lines, sun damage, or uneven skin texture, laser resurfacing can offer dramatic improvement.
- Realistic Expectations: It's important to understand that laser resurfacing is not a magic bullet. While results can be significant, they are not instantaneous. Be prepared for a recovery period and discuss desired outcomes with our aesthetic specialist during your consultation.
- Generally Healthy: Being in good overall health is crucial for a safe and successful surgery. The specialist will review your medical history during your consultation.
- Ready for Commitment: Laser resurfacing requires diligently following post-treatment care instructions for optimal results. This includes sun protection, proper wound care, and temporary activity restrictions.
Who May Not Be a Candidate for Laser Resurfacing?
While laser resurfacing offers numerous benefits, it may not be suitable for everyone. Here are some considerations:
- Pregnant or Breastfeeding Women: Laser resurfacing is not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding due to a lack of safety data.
- Active Skin Conditions: If you have active sores or wounds in the treatment area, laser resurfacing may not be suitable until these conditions are under control.
- History of Keloid Scarring: Individuals prone to keloid scarring may not be ideal candidates due to the risk of scar formation after laser treatment.
- Very Dark Skin Tones: Patients with darker skin tones may not be candidates for certain laser resurfacing procedures. Consult with us to determine whether laser resurfacing or another skin rejuvenation treatment could be appropriate for your skin tone.
- Unrealistic Expectations: If you have unrealistic expectations about the dramatic effects of the procedure or the speed of recovery, there may be better choices than laser resurfacing.
Schedule a consultation with us to discuss your unique situation and explore if laser resurfacing can help you achieve your smoother, younger-looking skin goals.
