LaseMD
Skin Tightening Denver

LaseMD is a laser skin resurfacing treatment that can stimulate the body’s natural collagen and elastin production to provide healthier, younger-looking skin. This is achieved through non-ablative laser energy, which gently heats targeted tissue in the deeper layers of the skin while leaving the surface layer intact, typically resulting in little to no downtime when compared to the full ablative lasers of the past. LaseMD is a treatment for skin tightening in Denver considered effective for all skin types, with the magnitude of treatment tailored to the severity of one’s skin concerns. Patients often complete a LaseMD session during their lunch break and can resume normal activities immediately for a simple, yet powerful, way to repair sun-damaged skin, reduce fine lines and renew a dull or uneven complexion.

LaseMD can be safely used on any area of the body where you have fine lines and sun damage. The most common area of treatment is, of course, the face, followed by the neck, chest, arms, hands, and shoulders. At RESTOR we like to talk about the “tabletop” presentation. We want all of the skin that is visible when we are sitting at a table to have a unified lustrous and glowing appearance – so what we do to our faces, we should also be doing to our necks, decollete, and hands (as this skin tends to need less – a good rule of thumb is for every four treatments you do on your face, you should do one on your “tabletop”. The Tabletop’s evil twin? Floating Head Syndrome (where the face appears 20 years younger than the neck). Don’t let it happen to you!

LaseMD is appropriate for anyone with sun damage, fine lines, melasma (Yes! I did say Mealsma! Keep reading!), or anyone looking for a brighter skin tone and improved texture. LaseMD is safe for all skin types and colors, and can be used when you skin is tanned as well. If you are looking for laser skin tightening in Denver, you could be a candidate.

At RESTOR we offer three levels of treatment – depending on your goals and how much downtime will work for you.

LaseMD Light is totally painless, and you will experience only 4-6 hours of redness which will look like a mild sunburn. It is used to treat Melasma, to remove acne, and to give the skin a little “boost” – leading to improved tone, quality and texture of skin. It is not strong enough to remove fine lines or tighten skin. It will remove some sun damage, but to remove significant damage we recommend LaseMD Medium treatments. You’re back in makeup the next day. You know you had treatment done, but no one else does.

LaseMD Medium is a more in-depth treatment to remove sun damage and fine lines. You will feel a “stingly” discomfort, but most patients do not need numbing or pain control. The treatment takes only about 10 minutes – and you will feel residual head and redness for the rest of the day. You will notice redness (like a mild sunburn) that lasts for 2-3 days and tiny “”coffee ground” spots shedding out of your skin over 5-7 days. This can be easily covered with makeup. You make experience a little light flaking. You will see significant results after about two weeks, which will continue to improve for three months.

LaseMD Deep is our most intense treatment – which will remove sun damage, fine lines, and also tighten sagging skin around your mouth, jowls, or décolleté. It will involve 5-7 days of redness (like a mild sunburn) and flaking. But in return for the bigger downtime, you will get the best results! This skin tightening treatment in Denver can remove years from your face, neck, or hands in a single treatment. You can wear makeup one day after the procedure.

As the laser passes over your skin, a feeling of warm tingling is common. The intensity of this sensation varies based on the type of treatment being performed – but most people do not require numbing cream or any type of pain control. After the session is complete, it is normal for the face to feel hot for 4-6 hours.

The number of treatments needed in order to achieve optimal results can vary from patient to patient depending on the condition or conditions being treated, the patient’s goals for treatment and tolerance of downtime (for example: one LaseMD Deep treatment will do the work of 4-5 LaseMD Light treatments – but has more downtime), and the patient’s skin concerns. During your first consultation, a member of our team will review your desired results, skin type, and primary skin concerns and will help create a customized treatment plan for you that will help you achieve your optimal results.

Yes, in fact, it is a great compliment to other treatments such as IPL, Infini microneedle RF, and regular microneedling. It can be done in the same treatment session to enhance results without adding any additional healing time.

Since the LaseMD opens microchannels in the skin, after your treatment we can apply a Masque infused with medical grade topicals which will be able to travel through the open microchannels deep into the skin – enhancing their efficacy. You can chose from PRP (a natural healing and collagen boosting serum made from your own platelets), or hyaluronic acid (a treatment designed to draw water deep into your skin to moisturize from the inside out). Ask us which one is right for you!

You should see a visible improvement in your skin tone and texture following your first treatment of LaseMD skin tightening in Denver. With each additional treatment session you have, you will experience continued improvement in unwanted pigmentation, acne scarring, uneven skin texture, and the overall quality of your skin. Individual results may vary from patient to patient.

The downtime varies from 4-6 hours of mild redness like a sunburn, to a few days depending on which type of treatment you chose. Regardless of this, however, you can wear makeup 24 hours after and LaseMD treatment, and so can attend events, or to work, etc. Most of our patients return to their normal routines within a day or two of their treatment session. A member of our expert staff will discuss further post-treatment skin care with your following your treatment session to ensure you achieve the best results.
