Lasers are used in cosmetic procedures for everything from skin resurfacing to teeth whitening to liposuction to vision correction.  All lasers are either ablative and non-ablative. Ablative lasers remove the top layer of your skin, and treatments typically require some recovery time while skin heals. Non-ablative lasers are less invasive, and use heat to stimulate cells to thicken the underlying collagen resulting in improved skin tone and elasticity.

1. I was tired of walking around with a sagging jaw and circles under my eyes. I went to the Bassin Center to have a consult and I decided to have the LazerLift and surgery for the bags under my eyes. 4 weeks later and I look twenty years younger!. I am a 50 year old woman and I look like I did... Read more

Free of contacts, glasses and the eye infections associated with it. When I had made the decision to fix my vision, friends had referred me to both LASIK and LASEK surgery. My first consultation was with a well known LASIK surgeon. The consultation went well and I had even put a deposit down... Read more

I wanted post that I had a similar laser procedure as that described on this site. I found the office staff and doctor quite nice and, when I was told to expect 4-7 days of down time, it was for sure. i was bruised and swollen, but from all of my research this is normal. Other people act... Read more

I wanted to remove the lines around my lips. The result was better than I expected, I am extremely happy. I have and will continue to recommend Dr Burns to my friends and family. The follow up care provided by his staff after the procedure was incredible. Read more

I had laser done as part of my face lift. The doctor said it would get rid of pigment on the sides of my face from sun. The treatment left me with a face full of little lines that look like stretch marks. I was in pain and had serious swelling from the laser. It is a very harsh and can do more... Read more

I'm 56 yrs. old and have pretty good skin for my age. I did have a few moderate lines around my chin area and mild to moderate lines around my eyes.

I have had co2 laser operarions done to my torso before and these always eventually leave a small white scar. i have had quite a lot of fibromas removed from my face, i am worried that the redness is not going to fade like the other areas have. they have all healed well but are still red...

I had CO2 laser surgery last August 2008, and it is now mid June. I still have redness in the treated area, and I'm also experience flushing. Flushing can be extreme at times, and I am beginning to worry if this flushing is something permanent like Rosacea. I'm Hispanic, and I have... Read more

Had Co2 ablative done a month ago. Doctor "forgot" to tell me I should on the second week of recovery use a skin lightener. Now I was told to become aggressive in the treatment of the hyperpigmentation. I am using Phaze 13, hydroquinone, and tretinoin. My face is so dry and flaky. The... Read more

I have had 5 sessions of Aluma and really don't see a difference. It sounded great as I really want to stay away from fillers but haven't seen anything yet. I started in February and think I have given it enough time. I just don't want to admit I have wasted money. Read more

I had gotten CO2 Laser Surgery about 8 months ago. My face has never looked worse. All my scars are still visible, just more so. On the right side of my face where I initially had no scars I now have a big mark that looks like a brush burn. My skin is also rippled now. I went in for the surgery... Read more
