Facial Rejuvenation

During this procedure the laser “ablates,” or destroys, the outer layers of your skin that have been damaged by age, sun, acne, wrinkles, or pigmentation problems or spots. Destruction of the older layers of skin prompts the body to generate a fresh, new layer of skin cells. Note that some lasers may be inappropriate for darker skin complexions.

When performing laser skin resurfacing, Dr. Sorokin first cleanses your face of oils and applies an antibiotic ointment. The laser is then used to ablate the top few layers of skin in a controlled manner until the appropriate depth of skin is reached. The procedure commonly is performed with a local anesthetic, with or without sedation.

During the BBL Hero procedure broad band light (BBL) is applied in a High Energy Rapid Output (HERO) protocol. You may have heard of Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) photo facials and BBL is the next generation of noninvasive, rapid recovery skin resurfacing. BBL treats dark spots, redness, wrinkles, textures, pore size, skin tone, and is an incredibly effective treatment. A series of several treatments spread apart over several months is usually recommended. This is a patient favorite as there is almost no down time.

HALO is the world’s first dual mode fractional laser that delivers both fractional (ablative) and non-fractional (non-ablative) wavelengths of light in the same treatment. This allows us to treat both epidermal and dermal concerns in a single treatment pass. An ablative laser removes the outer layer of skin responsible for sun damage and scarring. The downside of an ablative laser is the recovery. Since the HALO is a computer controlled a fully adjustable treatment we can precisely change how aggressively each patient is treated depending on their goals. The non-ablative laser treats the deeper dermal layers without destroying tissue and causes collagen to be stimulated. Multiple treatments are often required for the results of non-ablative lasers however the recovery is quicker. The HALO combines the best of both worlds by allowing us to completely customize treatments based on the needs of each patient.

MOXI was designed with all skin types in mind. During a MOXI treatment, you may feel a slight prickling sensation on the treated area. It has a minimal recovery period that requires very little downtime. You will experience some redness and warming of the treated area for approximately 3–4 days after a MOXI treatment. The skin will feel slightly rough like sandpaper for a few days and then reveal a new glow! MOXI treatment packages include a series of 3 treatments priced at $2,100, or individually at $800/session.
