Say Hello to Facial Rejuvenation, Tighter, Younger Looking Skin.
Better, Faster Results with Less Pain than other Fractional Lasers!
If you are concerned with having younger, healthier, and better looking skin, we have the solution for you. Our laser can provide the youthful skin you have always desired. With our special protocol you will be able experience the benefits of having the best skin resurfacing you can ever imagine. This new fractional technology will improve the overall appearance of your skin by tightening fine lines and wrinkles, giving you a more even skin tone, allowing pore shrinkage, and a natural increased production of collagen and elastin. Some patients may see immediate results; for others, collagen remodeling can be a slow process. This treatment is perfect for individuals who do not want to undergo plastic surgery and want to have youthful and brighter looking skin.
Eliminating bothersome wrinkles and repairing sun-damaged skin without the use of painful injections has been a goal of cosmetic dermatologists for years. Recent advances in cosmetic laser dermatology are now available as a result of breakthrough technology from Cynosure, a worldwide leader in the surgical, medical and aesthetic pulsed-light and laser marketplace. “We’re effectively hitting the reset button and reversing the signs of aging for our patients—it’s very exciting,” says Dr. M. Tran, Medical Director of Laser Concepts in Metairie and the West Bank.

Cynosure’s Affirm anti-aging skin rejuvenation fractional laser system is now proving to be the gold standard in the cosmetic laser dermatology market. “We are now able to help our patients reduce wrinkles, treat scars and improve overall skin texture, pigmentation and redness, with virtually no downtime,” says Dr. Tran. “The Affirm laser system is so advanced, we can now offer patients a complete skin rejuvenation solution that is better and faster than anything else available,” he adds.
Affirm anti-aging lasers employ micro-pulses of light that stimulates and remodels the skins own natural collagen production, allowing physicians to achieve optimal results without the use of painful injections.
“When used properly, the Affirm anti-aging workstation’s unique CAP [Combined Apex Pulse] technology is ideal for improving the texture and appearance of photo-aged skin,” explains Dr. Brian Biesman, of Nashville’s Center for Laser and Facial Surgery.
“Affirm’s newest feature, the 1320-nm MultiPlex technology, targets deep layers of collagen structures through coagulation resulting in skin tightening,” states Dr. Tran. “This remarkable technology allows our patients to walk out of the treatment session with skin that looks younger, feels smoother and is tighter than they ever thought possible.”
Let us help you eliminate and soften your fine lines and wrinkles. We can also tighten any loose and sagging skin you may have on your face, neck, upper arms, breasts, stomach and other body parts. Using our laser for Wrinkle Reduction and Skin Tightening is advantageous. Our laser leads to the creation of natural collagen reproduction, resulting in the generation of new connective tissue. This literally pushes the wrinkle from the inside out. More than one treatment will initiate collagen remodeling at various depths within the skin, therefore, 3-6 treatments are required to accomplish desired results. This laser can also help diminish the appearance of stretch marks and keloids. Say goodbye to old and hello to the new you! Redness, Age Spots, Melasma, Sun-Damaged Skin, Pigmented Lesions, and Rosacea If you’re an active person, chances are you spend more than your fair share of time in the sun. And if you’re over thirty, you are more than likely to show signs of premature aging due to sun damage. With facial skin treatment, you can now treat sun spots, pigmented lesions and overall skin texture—giving you a more revitalized appearance than you’ve had in years. Xenon Pulsed Light (XPL) technology improves the appearance of photoaged skin, removes age spots (sun-induced freckles), most benign brown pigments, and redness caused by broken capillaries through a process called photorejuvenation for face and body. The process is ideal for patients with active lifestyles because the procedure requires no downtime and has a low risk of side effects. The gentle, non-ablative treatments use broad spectrum light to treat the face, chest, neck and hands—virtually anywhere that sun damage shows. It gives the skin a smooth and youthful appearance, and patients are very satisfied. For some patients, combining Microdermabrasion with XPL seems to make the procedure more effective for collagen remodeling and superficial texture. Botox and hyaluronic acid fillers can provide volume augmentation and supplement the effect of XPL, without more invasive procedures, for greater smoothing of texture and dyspigmentation. Many people suffer from acne and acne scars. Acne is the result of over activity of oil glands at the base of hair follicles. Sometimes hormone changes during teenage years cause oil glands to become overactive or heredity may play a role with individuals that have acne. Although there is no true cure for acne, with the right products and our laser there is a way to keep it under control. A pimple is an oil gland that is infected with bacteria, resulting in an inflamed area with pus formation. Our laser kills the bacteria that causes acne to spread, therefore keeping it under control and preventing new breakouts. With our laser you will see noticeable results within 2-3 treatments at monthly intervals. This treatment can be done on the face and back! Your provider will recommend a specific skin care regime to help with the process, including our line of Obagi. The products we recommend you use are designed to deep cleanse excess oil and impurities without harsh, drying effects. They will gently exfoliate your skin, eliminate clogged pores, heal active acne, and prevent future breakouts. Now that we have helped you with your active acne, let’s diminish the scars! The laser also helps tighten your pores and produce collagen remodeling. This is a process that naturally helps you reproduce new skin cells while getting rid of the old ones. Your provider may also recommend micro-exfoliation to gently exfoliate dead skin cells to help with the texture of your skin making it smoother, softer, and clearer!
