Signs of aging and environmental damage can appear on your skin as early as your 30s, and over time these effects can accumulate. Laser treatments can prevent or undo these changes to provide smooth, luminous skin at any age. With so many different laser systems available, your Capital Laser & Skin Care team has the right one for your needs.

What are Laser Treatments?

Lasers used for skin rejuvenation come in several forms. Ablative lasers remove fractions or all of the outer layers of skin, while non-ablative lasers remodel your skin’s collagen from within. Many of the most popular laser treatments in use today are fractional lasers. These create areas of controlled damage surrounded by areas of healthy skin that minimize your downtime. 

Laser treatments are used to transform the skin in two ways:

  • Stimulating collagen formation that improves your skin’s texture and firmness
  • Rejuvenating the surface of your skin with healthy, fresh new cells

Many of our most widely used lasers do both of these at the same time to treat more skin concerns. 

Top 5 Benefits of Laser Treatments

Laser treatments continue to grow in popularity because you have so many options, and they offer excellent results. They have many benefits for individuals with a wide range of skin issues. 

Highly Customizable

Our laser treatments can be customized to meet your needs and fit into your schedule, letting you choose how quickly you want to see results and how much downtime you can put up with. The Fraxel® Dual laser is a non-ablative treatment that we can adjust to your needs. 

Dramatic Skin Improvements

Skin rejuvenation with laser treatments can transform your skin’s texture and tone, especially with a series of treatments. The Halo™ hybrid fractional laser uses ablative and non-ablative technologies to treat your skin, making it a powerful option that still has little downtime.

Anti-Aging Benefits

Individuals experiencing early signs of aging or sun damage can benefit from laser treatments to undo these effects and prevent future damage from accumulating. Clear + Brilliant® is often recommended for those in their 30s and 40s who want to be proactive in addressing their early collagen loss. 

Minimal Downtime

Most of our skin rejuvenation lasers have very little downtime. Most allow you to return to work and other activities immediately, although your skin may look red or feel sensitive for a day or two. More intensive treatments may result in a few days of mild flaking or peeling. 

Long-Lasting Results

You will usually need a series of laser treatments to achieve your goals, and results can take about three months to develop. Your improvements can last a year or more, and we recommend occasional touch-up sessions to maintain them over time. 

Am I a Good Candidate for Laser Treatments?

With so many options available, we have a laser that can work for almost anyone, including darker skin tones and sensitive skin. Laser treatments are ideal for a wide range of textural and pigmentation issues. Good candidates should have realistic expectations, and you should only have treatment on healthy, undamaged skin. We recommend a consultation to help us provide you with the best options for your needs.
