Laser Skin Toning and Rejuvenation

Arizona Laser DermatologyWrinkles and sagging skin are not the only common signs of aging. Time and a myriad of other factors also cause the skin to undergo many undesirable aesthetic changes. Redness, blemishes, discoloration, and scarring are all examples of the effects of aging that can alter your appearance and impact your self-esteem.

The board-certified dermatologists and medical and cosmetic providers at Pima Dermatology specialize in laser skin toning and rejuvenation. We understand your concerns and offer a variety of breakthrough treatments that can improve your skin and restore a more youthful appearance.

What is Laser Skin Toning and Rejuvenation?

Cosmetic laser and/or light therapy can be used to improve the surface and deeper layers of the skin that have been affected by aging without damaging nearby areas. The light essentially stimulates the skin to produce more collagen, which helps improve the tone, texture, and overall quality of the skin.

Who is a Good Candidate for Laser Skin Toning?

If your skin is affected by uneven texture, extensive blemishes, melasma, skin discoloration, and more, then you might be an ideal candidate for laser skin toning and rejuvenation.

Which Types of Skin Conditions Can Laser Skin Toning Treat?

Laser treatment for toning and rejuvenating the skin is a safe, effective solution if you’re experiencing the following conditions:

  • Sun damaged skin
  • Rosacea (chronically flushed skin)
  • Mottled skin
  • Dull complexion
  • Skin laxity
  • Fine lines and wrinkles

Frequently Asked Questions

Q. How Many Treatments Will I Need?

A. Depending on the areas treated and the degree of improvement desired, it is recommended to have at least 3 – 8 treatments. Treatments are performed in the office under a provider’s supervision and take from 30 – 60 minutes, depending on the devices utilized.

Q. Do the Laser Skin Toning Treatments Hurt?

A. Most patients find the treatments very tolerable and liken the experience of the laser impacts to the sensation of a mild rubber band snap. Most patients prefer to apply a topical anesthetic before the treatment. After the treatment, pain is usually minimal to nonexistent.

Q. What Will My Recovery be Like?

A. Most patients are somewhat red and occasionally slightly swollen for 12 – 48 hours after the procedure. Typically, patients can apply a bit of makeup as desired and resume all normal activities immediately following a treatment. Rarely, a small and superficial localized blister can occur, which takes a few days to heal. Following treatment with the fractional device, one may experience a few days of redness and some fine scaling for a number of days.
