This state-of-the-art technology enables targeted treatment of deep wrinkles, acne scars, pigmentation issues, and skin tightening in just one or two sessions, with notably reduced downtime and enhanced safety compared to traditional CO2 lasers. Offering this revolutionary procedure in Seattle, we cater to a wide range of skin concerns, from mild sun damage to severe wrinkles or acne scarring, leveraging Dr. Reichel's decade-long expertise in CO2 laser treatments.

Fractional CO2 laser therapy, including Active FX and Deep FX, boasts immediate skin tightening, reduction of fine lines and wrinkles, improvement of skin tone and texture, and stimulation of collagen production for long-lasting rejuvenation. This cutting-edge treatment works by targeting thousands of microscopic treatment zones within the skin, leaving surrounding areas untouched for accelerated healing and minimized downtime. Deep FX specifically targets deep tissue layers, triggering collagen growth to diminish wrinkles and scars, while Active FX addresses surface imperfections and pigmentation for renewed skin vitality.

Fraxel:

Fraxel® Laser Treatment harnesses fractional resurfacing technology, targeting only a small portion of the skin with thousands of precise laser columns. This process effectively removes old pigment and revitalizes the skin by stimulating new tissue growth, while surrounding areas remain untouched for accelerated healing. Fraxel® is versatile, addressing various concerns such as improving skin texture, reducing pore size, eliminating brown spots and fine wrinkles, diminishing acne scars, rejuvenating areas like the neck, chest, and hands, and reducing the appearance of stretch marks, surgical scars, and melasma. With minimal downtime, patients can experience significant skin improvement and a rejuvenated appearance.

Pearl By Cutera

Cutera Pearl Fractional laser is perfect for treating photodamaged skin in just one treatment. Pearl Fractional offers the best combination of patient experience and recovery time. This treatment offers superior skin rejuvenation with only three to four days of recovery/downtime, unlike traditional erbium and CO2 lasers.

Pearl Fractional can be used on the entire face and is uniquely effective in treating the delicate periorbital (around the eyes) and perioral (around the mouth) areas. These areas often show the first signs of aging and can be the most challenging to treat.

Halo

Sciton® Halo is the world’s first and only hybrid fractional laser, and Pacific Dermatology and Cosmetic Center is thrilled to offer patients treatment with this revolutionary new technology. Over time, your skin can lose its youthful glow due to sun exposure and your body's natural aging process. As a result, your body may develop sun spots, fine lines, and lose that natural healthy glow. Halo eliminates years of damage by precisely targeting the right depth and restores the luminous glow you had when you were younger. The Halo laser can be used to treat the face, neck, chest, and hands.

Is laser resurfacing safe?

Laser resurfacing is generally safe when performed by a qualified and experienced healthcare professional. However, it's essential to follow pre and post-procedure care instructions to minimize the risk of complications such as infection, scarring, or changes in pigmentation.

What is the downtime associated with laser resurfacing?

The downtime associated with laser resurfacing can vary depending on the type of laser used and the extent of treatment. Generally, patients may experience redness, swelling, and peeling in the treated area for a few days to a couple of weeks. Your provider will discuss this further during your consultation.

How many sessions are required for optimal results?

The number of sessions needed for optimal results can vary depending on individual skin concerns and treatment goals. Some patients may achieve satisfactory results after a single session, while others may require multiple sessions spaced several weeks apart.

What can I expect during the laser resurfacing procedure?

During the procedure, the skin will be cleansed and numbed to minimize discomfort. The laser device will then be applied to the target area, delivering precise laser energy pulses. Patients may feel a warming sensation or mild discomfort during the procedure, but it is generally well-tolerated. Your provider may include other pain management techniques such as Pronox, this will be discussed during your consultation.

Is laser resurfacing suitable for all skin types?

Laser resurfacing may not be suitable for all skin types, particularly darker skin tones, as it can potentially cause changes in pigmentation. It's essential to consult with a dermatologist or skincare professional to determine if laser resurfacing is suitable for your skin type and concerns.
