What Is Laser Skin Rejuvenation?
Laser skin rejuvenation uses focused light energy to target imperfections like sun damage, pigmentation, redness, and texture irregularities. Depending on your skin goals, your practitioner may use technologies like IPL (Intense Pulsed Light), fractional lasers (like Fraxel or Clear + Brilliant), or non-ablative lasers to stimulate collagen, even out tone, or resurface the skin.
Common treatment goals:
- Fading sun spots or pigmentation
- Evening out skin tone
- Softening fine lines or texture
- Reducing redness or broken capillaries
- Boosting collagen for firmer, smoother skin
What to Expect
Your practitioner will assess your skin and choose the appropriate laser based on your concerns. You may feel a warm or snapping sensation during treatment. Some lasers have little to no downtime, while others (like fractional resurfacing) can cause redness, dryness, and flaking for several days.

What People Are Saying
My sun spots faded and my skin just looked more even and clear. It was a bit red for a few days but so worth it.

I did three sessions and noticed real improvement in tone and texture. It's like hitting reset on your skin.
