Laser Skin Resurfacing in Oak Ridge

Almost anyone can benefit from laser skin resurfacing in Oak Ridge. The only limitations are for people who are currently pregnant or breastfeeding.

However, if you are pregnant, and you feel like you need to freshen up a bit, we can turn the settings down low enough so that you don’t need topical numbing.  This way, you and your baby can be safe while you receive laser treatment.

Otherwise, this device can be used on any skin type and patients of any age. At your initial consultation, we’ll confirm your eligibility and make sure you’re fully educated and prepared for your first session.

To help answer this question, you’ll receive a personalized consultation, during which, one of Shea’s skin care experts will fully assess your skin concerns, aesthetic goals, desired results, and ideal timeline for achieving them.

With this information we will be able to tell you whether LaseMD Ultra will be more effective than microneedling for you, or not.

For most patients, a combination of both treatments (e.g., microneedling for deeper concerns and laser skin resurfacing for surface issues) provides the most comprehensive and best results!

One of the major benefits of LaseMD is that it’s the only laser device approved to treat melasma.

Melasma commonly occurs during pregnancy and can cause patches of brownish skin on your face.

With LaseMD, we can typically erase the signs of melasma in 4 to 6 sessions. Melasma doesn’t go away, so you’ll need to visit us for follow-up sessions every 3 to 6 months to keep it quiet.

Over time, melasma can fade, especially as your body’s hormone levels re-balance after pregnancy, but until then, we’ll help you avoid any self-confidence issues and improve your skin’s quality, too!

LaseMD is totally noninvasive, so there’s very little discomfort associated with treatment. In fact, you’ll hardly feel a thing during your sessions, because we use a topical anesthetic to numb the treatment area. You may notice a warm sensation or a slight tingling when the laser passes over your skin, but we can tailor the intensity to make sure you’re comfortable throughout your entire session.

You’ll enjoy long-lasting skin rejuvenation with a clearer complexion and smoother skin after a series of laser skin resurfacing in Oak Ridge.

Depending on your skin health and your various skin conditions, you may need 3-6 monthly treatments to accomplish your goals.

Using medical grade skincare products, including a high quality sunscreen every day, will help prevent new pigment problems from popping up after your laser skin resurfacing treatments.

Receiving follow-up treatments every 3 to 6 months is a wonderful way to maintain your skin’s clarity, tightness, texture and resist the overall signs of aging.
