Laser surgery employs the concept of precise tissue heating and injury to create desired therapeutic and aesthetic results. Lasers can be used to treat a variety of different skin concerns ranging from brown spots and wrinkles to acne scarring. Dr. Fisher uses a variety of lasers tailored to each patient’s individual needs in order to achieve optimal results.
Some of the conditions Dr. Fisher treats include:
– Acne scarring
– Age spots
– Crow’s feet and hooded eyelids
– Brown spots
– Fine lines and wrinkles
– Hair removal
– Melasma
– Redness and facial vessels
– Pigmentation
– Skin laxity and sagging
– Surgical and traumatic scars
– Sun-damaged skin
– Unwanted tattoos
Dr. Fisher uses several different lasers, depending on skin type and problem, to improve skin texture, reduce fine lines and treat various types of scarring. These lasers employ fractional technology, which essentially leaves columns of healthy tissue between areas of treated skin to speed of healing time and increase safety. The most common types of resurfacing lasers are fractional Carbon dioxide, fractional Erbium laser and non-ablative fractional lasers (such as Fraxel Dual and Clear & Brilliant).
Conditions treated:
– Acne scarring
– Age spots
– Crow’s feet and hooded eyelids
– Fine lines and wrinkles
– Surgical and traumatic scars
– Sun-damaged skin
Redness and broken blood vessels can be caused by various factors, commonly rosacea, sun damage and genetics.
Laser treatments use targeted light energy to address redness and visible blood vessels beneath the skin. The light is absorbed, causing the vessel to collapse and gradually be reabsorbed by the body. This process effectively reduces redness and restores a more even skin tone.
Common areas for treatment include the face, neck and chest. Most patients will require 3-5 sessions to achieve results.
Laser Treatments for Pigmentation
Pigmentation concerns, such as dark spots, melasma, and age spots, can result from factors like sun damage, aging, hormonal changes, and acne scars. Dr. Fisher performs laser treatments to target and break down excess melanin in the skin, helping to restore an even and radiant complexion.
Areas commonly treated include the face, neck, chest, hands and shoulders.
Laser Tattoo Removal
If you have a tattoo you regret or simply wish to remove, Dr. Fisher is an expert at laser tattoo removal. Laser tattoo removal works by delivering pulses of light energy that target and break down the ink particles in the skin. These particles are then naturally eliminated by the body over time.
These devices work by delivering energy into the skin, in the form of heat, which helps to promote collagen synthesis and remodeling. Dr. Fisher uses a variety of devices, depending on the area being treated, the specific concerns of the patient and the desired outcome. Skin tightening devices are excellent options for patients who would like to avoid invasive procedures or surgery.
Morpheus8 and Morpheus8 Body
Morpheus8 is an advanced, FDA-cleared treatment that uses fractionated RF energy to penetrate deep into the skin and subdermal layers. This innovative technology stimulates collagen production, remodels tissue and tightens the skin. It is a versatile treatment suitable for the face, neck, and body. Morpheus8 can treat laxity, fine lines, acne scarring, stretch marks, minimize the appearance of pores and recontour the skin.
Sofwave
Sofwave is an FDA-cleared ultrasound-based skin rejuvenation treatment that targets fine lines, wrinkles, and sagging skin. By penetrating the dermal layer with precise ultrasound energy, Sofwave stimulates collagen and elastin production, revitalizing your skin from within.
Sofwave is entirely non-invasive and has no downtime. It can be used to lift tissues of the face, neck, arms, legs and abdomen.
Sofwave uses proprietary Synchronous Ultrasound Parallel Beam Technology (SUPERB™) to deliver heat energy precisely to the mid-dermal layer of the skin. This stimulates a natural healing response, encouraging the production of new collagen and elastin fibers. The treatment is safe for all skin types and tones, with no risk of pigmentation changes.
