The Benefits of Laser Treatments
Laser treatments have revolutionized the field of cosmetic dermatology, offering a non-invasive, highly targeted approach to skin rejuvenation. By harnessing the power of light energy, laser treatments can:
- Stimulate collagen production, reducing fine lines and wrinkles
- Improve skin texture and tone
- Minimize the appearance of acne scars and other types of scarring
- Reduce hyperpigmentation, age spots, and sun damage
- Tighten and firm lax skin
- Provide a more even, radiant complexion
With minimal downtime and long-lasting results, laser treatments are a popular choice for patients seeking to refresh and rejuvenate their skin without surgery or extensive recovery periods.
Our Laser Treatment Options
At Balanced Skin Dermatology and Aesthetics, we offer a comprehensive range of laser treatments to address a variety of skin concerns and help you achieve your desired results. Our advanced laser technologies include:
PicoSure Pro Laser
We utilize unique groundbreaking laser technology that boasts little-to-no downtime. PicoSure Pro is a revolutionary laser technology that sets new standards in dermatological care and skincare. Its ultra-short pulses in picoseconds (a trillionth of a second) ensure minimal discomfort with enhanced effectiveness and quick recovery. What makes PicoSure Pro truly exceptional is its safety on all skin colors and skin types. If you are seeking a non-surgical, non-invasive procedure with little to no downtime (allowing you to resume normal activities, even dining out the same day!), this treatment is for you. It is used for skin revitalization by stimulating collagen and elastin production which improves overall skin texture and the appearance of pores.

Fotona 4D SP Dynamis Laser: Skin Resurfacing, treatment of acne scars and Vascular Treatments
At our dermatology practice, we are proud to offer the cutting-edge Fotona 4D SP Dynamis Laser for a wide range of skin concerns. This versatile, state-of-the-art system combines the power of erbium and Nd:YAG lasers to provide precise, effective, and minimally invasive treatments tailored to your unique needs. Below, we highlight its key applications, including erbium resurfacing, acne scar and stretch mark treatment, vascular lesion management, and additional advanced modalities.
Erbium Resurfacing
Erbium laser resurfacing is ideal for improving skin texture and tone by removing damaged outer layers of skin. This treatment:
- Targets fine lines, wrinkles, and uneven skin texture.
- Promotes collagen production for firmer, healthier-looking skin.
- Provides faster healing with minimal downtime compared to traditional resurfacing methods.
Our Fotona laser’s advanced technology allows precise control, ensuring optimal results for your individual skin type and concerns.
Acne Scar and Stretch Mark Treatment
The Fotona 4D SP Dynamis excels in addressing stubborn acne scars and stretch marks by using fractional laser technology to:
- Stimulate collagen and elastin production to smooth and tighten the skin.
- Improve the appearance of pitted acne scars and reduce discoloration.
- Gradually fade stretch marks, restoring a more uniform skin tone and texture.
Patients typically notice visible improvements after a series of sessions, with minimal discomfort and downtime.
Treatment of Vascular Lesions
The Fotona laser is highly effective for treating vascular conditions such as:
- Telangiectasias: Reduces visible spider veins on the face and body.
- Rosacea: Minimizes redness and flushing by targeting dilated blood vessels.
- Hemangiomas and Other Vascular Lesions: Improves skin appearance by selectively treating problematic vessels.
Using Nd:YAG technology, the laser penetrates deeply to address vascular lesions with precision, ensuring maximum results while protecting surrounding tissue.
Additional Modalities and Applications
The Fotona 4D SP Dynamis laser offers even more advanced treatment options:
- Fotona 4D Rejuvenation: A comprehensive, non-invasive facelift that combines four synergistic modes—SmoothLiftin’, FRAC3®, Piano®, and SupErficial™—to tighten, lift, and restore youthful skin.

What to Expect During and After Your Laser Treatment
Laser treatments are performed in our state-of-the-art facility by our skilled dermatologists and trained laser technicians. Most treatments take between 15-60 minutes, depending on the specific laser used and the size of the treatment area.
Before your treatment, your skin will be cleansed, and a topical numbing cream may be applied to ensure your comfort. You will be given protective eyewear to wear during the procedure. As the laser is passed over your skin, you may feel a sensation of heat or tingling, but most patients find the treatment tolerable.
After your laser treatment, you may experience some redness, swelling, or mild discomfort, but these side effects typically subside within a few hours to a few days. Our team will provide detailed aftercare instructions, including the use of gentle skincare products and broad-spectrum sunscreen to protect your skin and maintain your results.
Most patients require a series of laser treatments to achieve optimal results, with the number of sessions depending on your specific concerns and goals. We will work with you to develop a customized treatment plan and schedule follow-up appointments to monitor your progress and ensure your satisfaction.
