Laser Procedures and Services

Introduction:

Dr. Gonyon and his expert office staff provide several options for skin care to improve the health and appearance of your skin with minimally invasive laser skin care. We utilize the Sciton Laser System to offer you a variety of options for improving your skin. After your consultation with Dr. Gonyon, our aesthetician, or nursing staff, we will make a recommendation for the type of laser procedure that you need to reach your goals. There are several options available for patients and include the following:

  • ProFractional: the cutting edge of current laser skin technology, a series of 2 to 3 treatments with the ProFractional Laser has been demonstrated to provide dramatic improvement in skin tone, wrinkles and sun damage. Performed alone or in combination with a MicroLaser Peel, the ProFractional Laser provides dramatic improvement with less recovery than a deep laser peel.
  • MicroLaser Peel and Laser Peel: using current Erbium laser technology, a laser peel is designed to remove fine lines and wrinkles, remove sun damage and pigmentation, and firm the skin. A MicroLaser Peel will remove only the outer 30 to 50 microns of skin, requires 3 to 5 days to recover, and provides a good improvement in skin quality. The Laser Peel can remove 100 to 200 microns of skin, requires 2 to 3 weeks to recover, and produces a more dramatic improvement in skin quality.
  • Photofacial (or Broad Band Light): therapy with broad band light removed sun damage and pigmentation and provides a dramatic improvement in skin tone with a painless and low risk procedure. There is little recovery and you can apply make-up and do your normal activities immediately after your procedure. Due to low risk, minimal recovery, and excellent results, this type of laser procedure is the most common laser therapy performed for skin rejuvenation.
  • SkinTyte: this technology uses infrared energy to gently tighten the dermis. This can be performed on any location of the body but is most commonly used on the face and neck. Although the results are subtle, patients are very happy with this procedure due to low risk and no downtime. Your skin is pink for about one hour after the procedure but you can do normal activities immediately. Due to the gentle nature of this technology, 3 to 5 treatments are required to produce visible results.
  • Levulan and Acne Therapy: dramatic improvements in the treatment of acne have been made in the last 3 years. This includes the use of Levulan and blue light to kill acne causing bacteria and to permanently shrink sebaceous glands. Levulan is increasing being used as an alternative to Accutane or for patients who have failed Accutane or antibiotic therapy.
  • Laser Hair Removal: tired of shaving? Dr. Gonyon and his nursing staff provide safe and effective permanent hair reduction. Depending on your hair quality and texture, between 5 and 10 treatments are needed.
  • Laser Vein Therapy: tired of the those small spider veins? The Clear Scan laser using Nd:YAG technology can eliminate those unsightly spider veins and blemishes.
