Laser Treatments

Medical-grade lasers. Sciton technology. Sequenced for your skin.

Light energy works at depths other treatments can't reach. We use the Sciton Joule platform across five laser modalities: each one targeted, each one selected based on your concern, your skin's current state, and where you are in your protocol.

512.LASER

Five modalities. One platform.

All five laser treatments run on the Sciton Joule. That matters: consistent calibration, reliable depth control, and a platform built for clinical outcomes. We select the modality based on your concern and your skin's readiness.

BBL Laser

Broadband light for pigmentation, redness, and vascular concerns. Targets chromophores at the surface level without disrupting the epidermis. Scheduled outside peak sun-exposure months.

See BBL Laser →

Profractional Resurfacing Laser

Fractional ablative resurfacing for texture, scarring, and structural remodeling. Micro-channels drive collagen response at the dermal level. Results build over weeks.

See Profractional Resurfacing →

Nano Laser Peel

A light ablative peel that removes a precise, shallow layer of skin. Smoother texture, reduced fine lines, improved tone. Minimal downtime relative to deeper ablative options.

See Nano Laser Peel →

Micro Laser Peel

A step up from the Nano: deeper ablation, more significant resurfacing, more visible downtime. Used when the skin is ready and the concern warrants it.

See Micro Laser Peel →

TRL (Tunable Resurfacing Laser)

Full ablative resurfacing. The deepest option in the protocol. Addresses deep wrinkles, significant texture, and advanced photodamage. Reserved for the right candidate at the right stage.

Not sure which laser is right

The consultation is where we figure that out.

Laser selection depends on your concern, your skin's history, your downtime tolerance, and where you are in your treatment plan. We do not recommend a modality before we understand those factors.

What to expect

Season, series, and downtime

Light-based laser is seasonal, almost everything is done in a series, and downtime ranges from none to a real week. We'll tell you exactly which laser fits and when to book it.

Fall and winter for most laser. In Texas that means October through March. Sun on fresh laser causes rebound pigment and ruins results. No sun for at least two weeks before, and a tan means no treatment that day. We'll reschedule you.

Almost everything is a series. One treatment is rarely the answer. Three is the minimum for most things, and four to six for scarring and static wrinkles. Most modalities space four to six weeks apart, longer for deeper resurfacing.

In the room, numbing cream is used for resurfacing and deeper treatments. Sensation depends on the laser: BBL feels like a rubber band snap, resurfacing feels hotter, and deep TRL is the most intense. Most treatments run 30 to 60 minutes including numbing. Downtime ranges from zero, for BBL and Nano, to a full week for TRL and deep ProFractional.

Aftercare

Protect the result

How you heal is part of the treatment. Follow post-care exactly, because results depend on it.

Follow post-care exactly

Less hydration on the front end actually means better tone and texture in the long run. We'll give you a plan.

Do not pick or peel

Let flakes and crusting come off on their own. Picking risks scarring.

Physical sunscreen daily

Wear a physical sunscreen every day, no exceptions, to protect the result.

Stay close

We follow up between visits, so reach out if anything feels off during recovery.

After your treatment

Care depends on which laser you had, but the foundations are the same.

Physical sunscreen, every day

Wear a physical (mineral) sunscreen daily, no exceptions. This is the single most important thing you can do to protect your result.

Go easy on hydration up front

Counterintuitive, but less hydration on the front end actually means better tone and texture in the long run. Follow the plan we give you.

Know your downtime

BBL and Nano are minimal: BBL sun spots darken to look like coffee grounds for 5 to 7 days, then flake off. Resurfacing lasers like Micro, Profractional, and TRL run from a few days of flaking up to a week or more of real recovery.

Follow your post-care exactly

Each laser has its own protocol. Do it to the letter. This is where good results are won or lost.

What to avoid

Lasered skin is heat-sensitive and pigment-prone. These all wait.

Sun, strictly

Stay out of direct sun through your whole recovery and beyond. Sun plus fresh laser equals rebound pigment and ruined results. This is the rule we're most serious about.

Picking or peeling

Whether it's flaking skin or darkened spots after BBL, let it come off on its own. Picking risks scarring.

Actives

Keep retinols, acids, and active ingredients off until we clear you. Your skin is mid-repair.

Heat and sweat

Skip saunas, hot showers, and hard workouts while you're healing. Heat aggravates already-warm skin.

What's normal, and your next session

What healing looks like depends on the laser. After a BBL, sun spots darken and look like coffee grounds for about 5 to 7 days, then flake away to reveal more even tone, so don't be alarmed when they get darker before they clear. With resurfacing lasers, expect redness, swelling, and a sandpaper texture that smooths out over the recovery window, anywhere from 3 days for a Micro peel to 7 to 10 days for a deep TRL, where you'll genuinely look raw. Plan around the heavier ones.

Almost everything we do is a series, spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart for most modalities and longer for deeper resurfacing. Laser is fall and winter work in Texas, roughly October through March, because sun exposure is the enemy of a good result. We'll schedule your next session once your skin has fully recovered. If you see signs of infection, blistering beyond what we told you to expect, or worsening pain, that's not normal, so reach out.
