At Laser Skin Care Center, our physicians use the Fraxel Dual® 1550/1927 to help patients treat damaged skin, such as sun spots, wrinkles and other signs of aging. Fraxel® treatment is a noninvasive skin resurfacing procedure approved by the FDA and has been safely used by our physicians to improve skin health and texture for many patients.

What is Fraxel Dual® Laser Used For?

At Laser Skin Care Center our physicians use the Fraxel Dual® laser to treat uneven pigmentation commonly associated with sun spots, melasma, and even precancerous conditions. Although these resurfacing treatments are most commonly performed on facial skin, we have had great success in treating other parts of the body prone to sun damage, including the neck, chest, and hands.

Here are just some of the ways Laser Skin Care Center patients have benefited from Fraxel Dual®:

• Improved tone and texture
• Reduced wrinkles around the eyes
• Removal of unwanted brown spots
• Improved appearance of surgical and acne scars
• Effective treatment of actinic keratosis (pre-cancerous lesions)
• Excellent treatment for even the most delicate skin

How does the Fraxel Dual® Laser Work?

Fraxel Dual® is a patented fractional technology that helps resurface skin by targeting damaged skin cells and stimulating the body’s natural healing processes. The laser allows for targeted treatment without significant downtime or severe discomfort. The laser produces thousands of microscopic laser columns, which penetrate deep into the skin. The heat from the energy bursts removes damaged cells but does not cause significant damage to surrounding healthy tissues.

A Fraxel Dual® treatment takes approximately 30 minutes, but we recommend you reserve around two hours of your time for appointments for local numbing and before and after pictures. Each treatment targets between 15 and 20 percent of the skin’s surface, leaving the surrounding, healthy areas virtually unaffected.

How Long does it Last?

Results of this treatment are both immediate and progressive, with most patients noticing significant improvement after a single treatment. However, it’s important to understand that multiple treatments may be necessary to reach optimal results, most patients achieve their desired outcome after 2-5 treatment sessions. Over the following weeks and months, patients notice skin tightening and pigmentation improvements as the skin begins to heal itself. Lifestyle and exposure to the sun will determine how long your treatments may last.

Q-Switched Laser Treatment at Laser Skin Care Center

At Laser Skin Care Center, our physicians use the Q-Switched laser to treat a variety of skin concerns—particularly unwanted pigmentation, tattoo ink, and signs of sun damage. This advanced, noninvasive laser technology delivers short, high-intensity pulses that safely break down pigment in the skin without harming the surrounding tissue. FDA-approved and widely trusted, the Q-Switch laser has been used effectively by our team to restore clearer, more even-toned skin.

What Is the Q-Switched Laser Used For?

The Q-Switch laser is a versatile treatment that targets excess pigmentation in the skin, such as sun spots, freckles, melasma, and certain types of birthmarks. It’s also one of the most effective technologies available for tattoo removal, regardless of ink color. While commonly used on the face, the Q-Switched laser is equally effective on areas like the chest, shoulders, back, and hands—regions often affected by sun exposure or prior treatments.

Patients at Laser Skin Care Center have experienced improvement in:

• Uneven skin tone and pigmentation
• Sun spots and age spots
• Melasma and other forms of discoloration
• Tattoo removal (all colors)
• Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation
• Birthmarks and vascular lesions

How Does the Q-Switched Laser Work?

Q-Switch laser technology works by delivering ultra-short bursts of energy into the skin, targeting pigment and ink particles with precision. The energy pulses break down these particles into tiny fragments, which the body’s natural processes gradually eliminate. Because it works in extremely short pulses—measured in nanoseconds—the laser minimizes heat damage to surrounding skin, making it both safe and effective.

A typical treatment session takes about 15–30 minutes, though appointment times may vary depending on the treatment area and whether numbing is needed. Most patients experience only mild discomfort, and downtime is generally minimal.

How Long Do Results Last?

Results from Q-Switched laser treatments are gradual and improve with each session. Many patients notice a visible reduction in pigmentation or ink after just one treatment, with continued progress over the following weeks. For best results, a series of treatments may be recommended, depending on the condition being treated. Your skin is in expert hands with the dedicated team at Laser Skin Care Centers.

Earlobe Repair at Laser Skin Care Center

At Laser Skin Care Center, we offer expert earlobe repair procedures to correct stretched, torn, or damaged earlobes caused by trauma, heavy earrings, or gauges. Whether you’re looking to restore a natural shape or prepare for re-piercing, our skilled physicians perform earlobe repairs with precision and care, helping you achieve a natural, symmetrical result.

What Is Earlobe Repair Used For?

Earlobe repair is a minor surgical procedure designed to restore the natural contour and integrity of the earlobe. Over time, earlobes can become stretched, split, or misshapen due to wearing heavy earrings, accidental tears, or the use of ear gauges. Many patients choose earlobe repair for cosmetic reasons, while others seek the procedure to make re-piercing possible or to improve comfort and appearance.

Common concerns treated with earlobe repair include:

• Torn or completely split earlobes
• Elongated piercing holes
• Stretched lobes from gauges or heavy earrings
• Asymmetrical or misshapen earlobes
• Scarring or irregularities from past trauma

How Does Earlobe Repair Work?

This treatment is typically performed in-office under local anesthesia and takes about 20 to 30 minutes per earlobe. During the procedure, the damaged tissue is gently removed, and the earlobe is carefully reconstructed using fine sutures to ensure a natural shape. The sutures are typically removed after 5–7 days, and the scar usually fades significantly over time.

The procedure is minimally invasive, and downtime is minimal. Most patients return to normal activities immediately, though we advise avoiding earrings or trauma to the area during healing. Re-piercing is generally possible after the lobe has fully healed, typically within 6–8 weeks.

How Long Do Results Last?

Results from earlobe repair are long-lasting and often permanent. Once healed, the earlobe maintains its restored appearance, with little to no visible scarring in most cases. Patients are often surprised by how natural and refined their ears look post-procedure.

Our Approach & Expertise

At Laser Skin Care Center, we understand that even small cosmetic concerns like earlobe damage can have a big impact on your confidence. Our physicians combine surgical skill with a detail-oriented approach to ensure natural, aesthetically pleasing results. Whether you’ve experienced a tear, stretching, or want to reverse the effects of gauges, we’re here to help you feel more comfortable and confident in your skin.

About Vbeam

What is it?

A pulsed dye laser, the Vbeam is designed to shoot an intense beam of light into your skin to get the effects you want. Although intense, the light beam is optimized at a frequency gentle enough to leave untargeted areas unharmed. What’s unique about the Vbeam laser is that the light isn’t absorbed by your skin, but by your blood vessels. Not only is this more efficient, but it’s also safer, as side effects are greatly minimized. Vbeam addresses several different conditions that otherwise would require more than one type of procedure. These conditions include fine lines and wrinkles, rosacea, troublesome veins, scars, cherry red birthmarks, and warts.

What to expect

The number of Vbeam treatment sessions needed will depend on both your aesthetic goals and the nature of the skin condition to be treated. For example, you could have as few as 2-3 treatments (for rosacea) or as many as 5-10 (for red birthmarks). Because Vbeam is non-ablative, your skin is not burned, cut, blistered, or harmed in any way. This means it is safe enough for your face, legs, and elsewhere on the body. Furthermore, Vbeam is a great treatment for individuals of all ages and can be combined with other procedures, including Botox and dermal fillers like Juvéderm, for better results.

After the procedure

The side effects of Vbeam depend on the severity of the condition being treated and your overall treatment goals. Generally, side effects are mild and temporary and could include swelling, redness, and bruising, all of which usually subside within a week.

Our approach & expertise

We understand the impact that a variety of facial skin conditions can have, not only on your appearance but also on your self-esteem. That’s why we offer the versatile Vbeam laser, a single solution for several different skin conditions. Our knowledgeable laser and skin experts have the training and skill to tailor Vbeam laser treatment to your unique needs, and we’re always here to answer questions, address concerns, and provide compassionate support.

About Clear + Brilliant

What is it?

Clear + Brilliant is a gentle, skin-refreshing laser that penetrates shallower than most lasers, yet deeper than a light peel or microdermabrasion. This helps it replace rough, damaged skin with smooth, healthy tissue. Effective even if you’re in your 20s or 30s, Clear + Brilliant is designed as a maintenance treatment that can help correct mild damage, such as from the sun, or protect against aging. It’s an ideal treatment if you’re looking to improve skin texture or shrink pores. This treatment can also lighten skin discoloration and protect against wrinkles, skin dullness, and uneven tone.

What to expect

Each Clear + Brilliant session is quick (20-30 minutes), comfortable, and downtime is virtually non-existent. Side effects can include swelling and tenderness, but are minimal, temporary, and not enough to prevent you from returning to your normal schedule. Although you may be happy with what Clear +Brilliant can do for you, you may also want to combine it with other treatments for even greater effects. Complementary treatments include Botox, Pellevé, Ultherapy, and Isolaz or Vbeam lasers.

After the procedure

In our experience, Clear + Brilliant treatments 1-2 times a month for 4-6 months are the most beneficial, and we also suggest follow-up treatments every 2-3 months. For the best results, we recommend undergoing regular Clear + Brilliant maintenance between other, more intense skincare treatments
