Fractional Laser Skin Resurfacing Treatments – Minneapolis St. Paul

At our top-rated Twin Cities medical spa, we use advanced lasers to treat a wide range of skin conditions. We have recently added the new Palomar LUX 1540 fractional laser to our clinic. We are proud to offer this exciting new technology to our patients. Operating at a 1540 nanometer light wavelength, these safe, affordable procedures produce outstanding results in just a few sessions. There is little to no downtime and younger-looking skin appearance is now readily available from our medical professional.

Lasers have been used to correct and improve the appearance of the skin for years. In the past, those procedures were rather harsh, requiring downtime to allow the healing process to work. Ablative laser treatments can destroy damaged skin layers. Healing takes time and unpleasant side effects often are big concerns. The Palomar LUX 1540 technology is different. Instead of attacking problems with a single laser beam, the LUX erbium fractional laser breaks the beam into precision microbeams. They penetrate skin layers in tiny areas, avoiding invasive damage and long healing times. By coagulating skin in narrow columns, they allow your body to produce new, healthy tissues safely. Fewer side effects and faster healing are the benefits. Typically, 3-5 brief, affordable treatments are recommended.

Improve Facial Appearance with Fractional Laser Skin Treatments

Erbium fractional laser resurfacing treatments are FDA-approved to treat several common skin conditions on the face and other areas. Appearance improvements can be dramatic. In a series of treatments, skin condition improves steadily, showing immediate benefits that improve over time. The Palomar LUX 1540 laser treats:

• Sun Damaged Skin – Fine lines, wrinkles, crow’s feet and aging skin are symptoms of damage caused by exposure to the Sun’s ultraviolet rays. Fractional erbium laser resurfacing helps the body create fresh, new skin tissues, correcting that damage.
• Mild to Moderate Scarring – From acne scarring to surgical and other scars, LUX 1540 laser gently stimulates the body to produce new, healthy skin. That minimizes or eradicates the appearance of scarring for smoother, more youthful look.
• Rough Skin Texture – Improving the look of rough or uneven texture is another use of the LUX erbium fractional laser. In a consultation with you, we may recommend this as part of an overall plan.
• Melasma and Skin Tone Issues – Skin discolorations and uneven skin tone can be improved in many cases. By stimulating your body to produce fresh new skin growth, this new technology may be your best option.
• Other Fractional Laser Treatments – The LUX 1540 erbium laser can also be used to treat mild to moderate stretch marks and skin irregularities that interfere with your appearance.

What to Expect from Palomar LUX Fractional Laser Resurfacing

As a full-service medical skin care provider, we perform a thorough evaluation of your skin as the first step. We’ll consult with you and recommend a plan to help you get the beautifying results you desire. Many facial skin conditions can be treated in more than one way. The fractional laser technology is highly effective, well-tolerated, and very affordable. Typically, a treatment plan will include from 3-5 sessions, spaced 2-6 weeks apart. After each procedure, you’ll see positive effects in a few days, with full results gradually visible over a month or two.

Before each resurfacing procedure, your skin will be carefully cleansed. Then, a laser handpiece will be passed over the target area. It is specially cooled to minimize discomfort, and most patients report only mild sensations. A slight sunburned feeling, mild bronzing, sensitivity and minor swelling may occur. Unlike with ablative laser procedures, your skin surface remains intact, reducing after effects. There’s little to no downtime, and the 1540 laser is safe for all skin tones.

How Much Does Fractional Laser Treatment Cost?

If our skin care professionals recommend this advanced technology for you, they’ll explain the cost during your consultation. When you consider the appearance improvements you’ll enjoy, the total cost is very affordable. Patients report a very high level of satisfaction from their fractional laser resurfacing procedures.
