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—you’ll have to wait to visit us for LaseMD.

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.

It’s important to understand that “better” doesn’t always mean “superior in every way,” but rather—better for you. 

During a personalized consultation where a Shea expert can fully understand your skin concerns, aesthetic goals, desired results, and ideal timeline for achieving them, we will discuss whether LaseMD Ultra will be more effective than microneedling for you.

For many patients, a combination of both treatments (e.g., microneedling for deeper concerns and LaseMD Ultra for surface issues) provides the most comprehensive 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 erase the signs of melasma in 4 to 6 sessions. Then you may need to visit us for follow-up sessions every 3 to 6 months.

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 restoration after LaseMD, and permanent erasure for many skin blemishes. Still, new markings can always appear over time, especially if you don’t take the proper precautions.

Scheduling proactive follow-up sessions every 3 to 6 months is a great way to maintain your skin’s quality. With ongoing treatments, you’ll continually experience improved healing and skin tightness to resist the signs of aging on your skin.
