Laser Skin Resurfacing

There are many options for rejuvenating the skin without surgery or invasive procedures. Perceptions Aesthetic Spa is committed to bringing our patients the latest non-surgical cosmetic advancements in advanced skincare. Our team-centered approach ensures that patients receive their treatments from highly trained medical aesthetic professionals.

Cosmetic laser treatments are a fantastic option for anyone looking to restore more youthful and vibrant skin. At Perceptions we offer a minimally ablative skin resurfacing laser treatment option (Fraxel) as well as a more invasive laser resurfacing (CO2). Both options offer clients the opportunity to enjoy smoother, brighter, and revitalized skin.

How do lasers work to improve the skin?

Lasers use light and heat energy to cause controlled damage to the surface of the skin, so that your body reacts to heal the tissue. Laser energy stimulates fibroblasts to stimulate collagen production which helps the skin to look thicker and tighter. These treatments also remove the skin’s outermost layer. This makes way for new, undamaged skin cells to take their place. Collagen levels take time to increase, and our patients report improvement in the skin’s appearance for several months after treatment. Laser treatments offer long-lasting skin rejuvenation results— some even lasting for a year or longer.

What Laser Devices Are Used at Perceptions Aesthetic Spa?

Our team continually seeks out the latest treatments to improve and refine the skin.  We have several laser options so clients can determine the best treatment for their goals.  
CO2 Laser – For deep and comprehensive skin rejuvenation, few treatments can compete with the power of the CO2 laser.  CO2 lasers have been used in aesthetic treatments for many years and remain the gold standard in skin rejuvenation because of their effective and transformative results.  
In addition to laser rejuvenation and laser resurfacing options, we also offer other skin resurfacing options like IPL, Plasma Pen, Vivace RF Microneedling, Dermasweep.

What Does CO2 Laser Skin Resurfacing Treat?

CO2 laser skin resurfacing is a versatile treatment that can address many common skin concerns, including:
  • Fine lines
  • Wrinkles
  • Skin discoloration
  • Sun damage
  • Uneven skin tone
  • Acne scars
  • Poor skin texture
We encourage clients to speak with their current Perceptions Aesthetic Spa aesthetic provider about their specific skin concerns or schedule a consultation to discuss and learn more.

Avoid direct sun exposure and wear daily sunscreen of SPF 30 or more reapplied throughout the day. It is recommended to cover up and wear a large-brimmed hat for at least a week after each session.
