What Can Laser Treatments Accomplish?

Rejuvenating your skin’s youthful glow can help enhance your appearance, boost your confidence, and improve your overall sense of wellness.

CO2RE: Wrinkle Reduction & Skin Resurfacing

CO2RE is a fractional therapy CO2 laser for skin resurfacing. Your skin is treated with a matrix of laser pulses that vary in intensity depending on the area being treated, the desired outcome, and your skin type.  A topical anesthetic is applied prior to the treatment and injections to numb the skin can be used in certain areas as well. Downtime varies according to the depth of treatment and can entail peeling for up to 7-10 days.  The CO2RE system targets multiple layers of skin to treat wrinkles, sun-damaged skin, and scars while stimulating collagen production. Under the skilled hands of Dr. Brown, the CO2RE delivers predictable, long-lasting visible results for all skin concerns, including: 

  • Enhanced tone and texture 
  • Reduced effects of sun damage and aging
  • Smoothed fine lines, wrinkles, and scars

Matrix Pro RF Microneedling

Matrix Pro RF is an innovative non-surgical device that offers a powerful combination of microneedling and radiofrequency technology, delivering remarkable results for a wide range of skin concerns. Unlike traditional microneedling, Matrix Pro RF uses radiofrequency energy to enhance the treatment results. The RF energy generates heat, further stimulating collagen production and skin tightening.

Matrix Pro RF uses fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries. These tiny wounds trigger your skin’s natural healing response, stimulating collagen and elastin, which are essential proteins for maintaining structure and elasticity.

Matrix Pro RF offers numerous benefits for anyone looking to improve their skin’s youthfulness and appearance, including:

  • Rejuvenation with collagen and elastin production
  • Tightening to firm loose and sagging skin
  • Pore size reduction to create a smoother and more refined skin surface
  • Scar improvement to minimize acne or surgical scars
  • Anti-aging effects prevent and reverse signs of aging, such as wrinkles, fine lines, and dullness
  • Short downtime – resume your daily activities immediately after treatment, 2-3 days of mild redness/swelling
  • Safe and effective for all skin types with minimal risk of complications

Light & Bright IPL

IPL Treatment for Rejuvenating Sun-Damaged Skin

As we grow older, our skin changes. It becomes thinner and loses its smoothness, and unwanted pigmentation and small blood vessels can appear. Over time, sun exposure on your face, hands, arms and chest can accelerate the signs of aging. Sun damage can result in dark spots, freckles, age spots, uneven pigmentation, and diffuse redness. Light & Bright is also a great treatment for rosacea and visible capillaries (“spider veins”) which frequently occur on the cheeks and around the nose.

Light & Bright treatments use Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) to rejuvenate your sun-damaged skin by delivering short bursts of light that directly target the blood vessels and melanin (pigment) in your skin, reducing the coloring of age spots, freckles, redness and overall sun damage.

A series of three Light & Bright treatments is recommended for optimal results, performed no sooner than 4 weeks apart. To maintain the results of your refreshed skin, maintenance treatments are recommended every 6-12 months.

Pricing

  • Face, Neck and Chest: $850
  • Face, Neck or Chest: $450 per area, $650 for two areas
  • Hands: $300
  • Other areas priced upon request.

Calm & Clear

Treatment for Redness and Inflammation from Rosacea and Acne Flares

Rosacea is characterized by persistent facial redness and may resemble a blush or sunburn that does not go away. In many people with rosacea, prominent and visible small blood vessels called telangiectasia appear on the cheeks, nasal bridge, and other areas of the central face. Calm & Clear treatments these concerns by using Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) to deliver short bursts of light directly to the blood vessels causing them to shrink without harming the surrounding tissues. The body reabsorbs the damaged vessels. As the skin continues the healing process, facial redness and visible redness will continue to fade revealing smoother skin and a more even skin tone.

Acne is caused by many factors including the overproduction of sebum, an oily substance that can clog pores, as well as bacteria on the skin. Acne inflammation can cause significant facial redness and inflammation which is difficult to conceal with makeup. Calm & Clear treatments address these concerns by using Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) to deliver short bursts of light directly to the blood vessels that feed sebum-producing sebaceous glands. IPL can also kill bacteria on the skin, reducing redness and inflammation. For patients who have residual brown or red pigmentation from past acne flares, IPL can also treat these concerns.

A series of three Calm & Clear treatments is recommended for optimal results, performed no sooner than 4 weeks apart. To maintain the results of your refreshed skin, maintenance treatments are recommended every 6-12 months or whenever rosacea and acne flares occur.

Tone & Texture Refresh

Non-Ablative Skin Resurfacing for Improving Wrinkles and Texture

Tone & Texture Refresh treatments smooth fine lines and wrinkles while improving the skin’s texture. Tone & Texture Refresh is a non-ablative laser that heats the tissue beneath the skin’s surface. The Tone & Texture Refresh system uses two types of lasers to stimulate collagen and elastin production and promote the renewal of new skin cells. Together, these processes smooth the surface of your skin for a firmer texture and a more youthful appearance. The surface of the skin is left intact and there is minimal downtime.

A series of three Tone & Texture Refresh treatments is recommended for optimal results, performed no sooner than 4 weeks apart. To maintain the results of your refreshed skin, maintenance treatments are recommended every 6-12 months.

Pricing

  • Face, Neck and Chest: $850
  • Face, Neck or Chest: $450 per area; 650 for two areas
  • Hands: $300
  • Stretch marks, scars and other areas priced upon request.

BLT Duo

Light & Bright IPL and Tone & Texture Refresh

A Brightening, Lightening and Tightening Refresh of Sun-Damaged and Aged Skin

As we grow older, our skin changes. It becomes thinner and loses its smoothness, and unwanted pigmentation and small blood vessels can appear. Over time, sun exposure on your face, hands, arms and chest can accelerate the signs of aging. Sun damage can result in dark spots, freckles, age spots, uneven pigmentation, and diffuse redness. Additionally, the loss of collagen and elas-tin as we age causes wrinkles and changes in texture.

BLT Duo treatments can address these concerns by combining Light & Bright IPL (Intense Pulse Light) and non-ablative skin resurfacing (Tone & Texture Refresh) during the same treatment session. Light & Bright treatments rejuvenate sun-damaged skin by reducing age spots, freckles, redness and overall sun damage. Tone & Texture Refresh treatments are performed with a non-ablative laser which stimulates collagen and elastin production to smooth fine lines and wrin-kles to improve the skin’s texture.

A series of three BLT Duo treatments is recommended for optimal results, performed no sooner than 4 weeks apart. To maintain the results of your refreshed skin, maintenance treatments are recommended every 6-12 months.

Connecticut Laser Treatment FAQs | Brown Plastic Surgery

Generally speaking, exercise is not restricted following any laser treatments. However, sweat may cause irritation to the treated areas.

Recovery time from laser treatments depends on the type of procedure you are having. For laser hair removal, recovery time is minimal, and most patients can return to normal 48 hours following the procedure. For other laser skin resurfacing treatments, healing may take 2-3 weeks.

Laser treatment results are dependent on the laser used, the number of treatments required and the extent of the treatment. Results are both immediate and progressive. Typically, within a week following most laser treatments, the skin will show improvement. As laser treatments encourage collagen production, your skin will continue to improve for about 4-6 months following your treatment.

Typically, laser hair removal procedure or skin resurfacing treatment can last approximately an hour. However, treatment time is determined by the extent of your specific needs and the treatment areas. Dr. Brown can estimate your procedure length after you have been evaluated.
