Signature Laser Facials

 

HOLLYWOOD LASER PEEL

Camera Ready Skin – The Hollywood Laser Peel is a fast and comfortable treatment uniquely enabled by the Lutronic Spectra laser platform.  The 3-step treatment includes an effective combination of patented facial carbon lotion application, gentle skin heating and nanosecond pulses of laser energy – to stimulate skin cells and begin the process of exfoliation.  Each treatment takes 20 minutes with multiple benefits: reduce oil production and enlarged pores, reduces unwanted pigmentation, helps stimulate collagen, and softens skin tone and texture.  This proprietary ‘lunch time’ laser treatment has been popularized in social media by the stars that have requested this treatment before walking the red carpet, before photoshoot and/or weddings.

ACNE LASER TREATMENT

Target acne at its source – The Spectra Acne Laser Treatment is an energy based technology that destroys the bacteria that causes inflammatory acne.  Additionally, it targets and suppresses the sebaceous gland that produces excess oil and causing pores to become clogged, trapping dirt and debris.  With the application of carbon lotion, it effectively removes dirt and debris from the pores while also help to shrink the pores.  With consistent treatment, current and future breakout episodes can be shorter, less intense and less frequent.  The acne laser treatment can be a great alternative in improve acne without the need for prescription medication.

MELASMA LASER TREATMENT

For deeper melasma issues, the Spectra Laser is the only FDA cleared melasma solution – Dr. Tan uses this laser for a safe, gentle and effective treatment for dermal and epidermal melasma disorders that have been difficult to treat with topical skin care, chemical peels or other laser and light sources that target melanin.  This treatment can be used to treat one spot, one area or the full face. As the laser breaks down the pigmentation into small- er pieces, it also creates room for new collagen and elastin growth, resulting in brighter, firmer and more youthful-looking skin.  Perfect for routine maintenance or seasonal skin concerns, continue your day with brighter, more even-looking skin.

PIGMENTATION / SUN SPOT / FRECKLES

Pigmented lesions are darker areas of the skin caused by excess melanin in the skin cells.  Examples include freckles, moles, age spots, cafe-au-lait spots, sunspots et al.  At MD Skin Lab, our lasers are highly effective for removing pigmented lesions.  The lesion containing excess melanin absorb the intense laser energy, heat up, and degenerate.  Meanwhile, the surrounding skin is unharmed.  After treatment, as the area heals, the immune system flushes away the dead skin cells and reveals lighter, unblemished skin.  Most pigmented lesions can achieve complete removal after an adequate number of treatment.  Some smaller lesions such as freckles or age spot may take single treatment – others can take six or more treatments, depending on a variety of factors.  

SUN SPOT HANDS AND ARMS

Nothing says ‘welcome to middle age’ like age spots, especially when they show up on your hands.  They give your years away at first handshake and seem to multiple in record times.  The quickest, easiest and most effective option for age spot is laser treatment.  Our laser platform uses ultra-short nanosecond pulses to break melanin pigment into tiny particles.  The pigments then turn darker and slough off after about one week.  The treatment has no dowmtime and is pretty much pain free, but may require up to four sessions for the best results.

LASER TATTOO REMOVAL

Whatever your reason for wanting to have a tattoo removed, with today’s laser technology it makes it possible to eliminate or fade most tattoos.  At MD Skin Lab, Dr. Tan uses a Spectra laser.  This Q Switched laser is considered to be the gold standard in the removal of tattoos.  The treatment session each take from 10 to 30 minutes and most patients report no pain other than a warming of the skin and a light prickly feeling.  There is a waiting time in between each session to allow your body to remove the tattoo ink fragments and heal but after each session, you will notice the ink becoming lighter. With no downtime and minimal side effects, you can return to your normal activities immediately after a session.
