Laser Treatments

Erbium laser resurfacing is designed to remove surface-level and moderately deep lines and wrinkles on the face, hands, neck, or chest.

One of the benefits of erbium laser resurfacing is minimal burning of surrounding tissue. This laser causes fewer side effects– such as swelling, bruising, and redness.

Your recovery time should be faster than with CO2 laser resurfacing. In some cases, recovery may only take one week. If you have a darker skin tone, erbium laser resurfacing may work better for you.

Throughout a lifetime, the hands are often left unprotected from harsh environmental elements and over time can develop premature signs of aging, such as freckles and dark spots, thin sunken skin, crepe-like appearance, fine line and wrinkles.

The age spots can be removed or even eliminated by various treatments including IPL and Erbium Skin Resurfacing. One treatment or a combination may be used to help you achieve a look that you desire.

Laser tattoo removal is the most effective, non-invasive method of safe tattoo removal. The lasers used at North Scottsdale Medspa for tattoo removal are designed to effectively target the ink that resides just under your skin.

Using different wavelengths of light to address the many different colors used in tattoos, the laser breaks down the ink particles into smaller fragments, which are then removed through your body’s natural cleansing process. This cleansing process generally takes between 3 to 4 weeks.

While the tattoo itself was likely applied in a single session, the process of laser tattoo removal is not as quick, unfortunately. The number of treatments necessary depends on several factors: type of ink, depth of ink placement, colors used, size and location.

Each treatment, which is usually between 10 to 30 minutes, will result in a visible change as the broken down ink fragments are removed from your body. Patients may encounter some redness, swelling or crusting after being treated (which is a part of the healing process) that will subside in 1-2 weeks. Treatments are spaced 4-6 weeks apart to allow your body to effectively remove the ink fragments.

Intense Pulse Light (IPL) utilizes specific light to rejuvenate the skin without damaging the surface. These treatments provide a non-surgical option that leads to healthier skin by eliminating pigmentation, broken blood vessels, excessive redness and pore size.

IPL Therapy can be used on many areas of the body that have been damaged by signs of aging or sun exposure. At North Scottsdale Medspa we use IPL to deliver high-intensity pulses of non-ablative light to the deep layers of skin.

After just one or two treatments, you will notice a more even skin tone and a naturally younger look and feel to your skin.

ClearLift is already a huge hit in Hollywood because the pixilated skin resurfacing laser divides light into multiple fractions that go deeper into the dermis. Skin is regenerated from underneath with absolutely no injury to the skin’s surface, leaving no redness.

The beauty of this treatment is that it allows microscopic beams to penetrate deeply to stimulate the production of collagen without wounding the outer layer of the skin, and thereby making this procedure pain free and without downtime.

ClearLift is best utilized on the fine lines around the eyes and mouth, but can also be used on the upper cheek area and the forehead, too. Patients report instant results that see them looking plumper, firmer, and rejuvenated, with absolutely no injury to the skin’s surface. To tighten the skin the best thing on the market is ClearLift. The laser treatment permeates the dermis to revive skin from deep within, fleshing and tightening in a way no other treatment can.
