Laser Skin Rejuvenation in Los Angeles, CA

Laser skin rejuvenation at Optima Medical Spa is a noninvasive cosmetic treatment that uses pulsating beams of energy to eliminate damaged skin cell layers. The treatment is great for treating facial wrinkles, fine lines, pigmentation issues, acne scars, and other concerns. Also called a laser peel, laser skin rejuvenation with Laser Genesis technology is considered a great treatment for patients who want clearer and younger-looking skin. Additionally, you'll have little recovery time associated with this type of treatment. If you have any questions or concerns, our Los Angeles, CA physician, Dr. Abraham (Avi) Ishaaya, can answer them during your consultation.

At Optima Medical Spa, we know that with age your skin might turn increasingly dehydrated, flat, and lifeless. With laser skin rejuvenation, we can provide Los Angeles, CA patients a chance for more youthful skin with a treatment that gives several wonderful perks:

• Enhancement of patchy skin surface
• Improved self-esteem about your skin's aesthetic
• Minimized look of creases and lines
• Lowered appearance of scarring and pigmentation issues
• Tightening of pores

There are several factors to consider when choosing which kind of laser skin resurfacing procedure is best for you. Laser skin resurfacing is ideal for anyone who is unhappy with their general complexion. If you see sun-damaged skin, age spots, acne scars, lines and wrinkles, redness, or pigmentation troubles, this procedure may help correct these complexion blemishes. In addition, laser skin resurfacing works effectively for those who have scaly patches, rough texture, or other irregularities. This treatment isn't suggested for anyone who has very dark skin tones or active acne. Also, it is important to be aware that there is downtime associated with these laser treatments. Certain patients, based on the condition of their skin, may require as much as 2 – 3 weeks for their skin to normalize. Laser skin rejuvenation with Laser Genesis technology works well for anyone who feels unhappy with their overall complexion. The treatment can address:

• Sun-damaged skin
• Age spots
• Acne scars
• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Redness
• Pigmentation issues
• Scaly patches
• Rough texture

Unfortunately, laser skin resurfacing is not recommended for anyone who has very dark skin or active acne outbreaks.

Before your appointment, you should avoid tanning for two weeks and not wear makeup to your treatment. At the time of your procedure, we will ask you to relax in a special treatment chair while the laser handpiece passes over your skin, precisely targeting the needed areas for rejuvenation. You will feel a warm sensation caused by the device, but it shouldn't cause major discomfort. As we carefully pass it over the treatment area, the laser removes damaged skin cells and encourages collagen production. Following your treatment, one of our team members will provide detailed aftercare information to protect your sensitive skin.

Following rejuvenation sessions with Laser Genesis, an ointment can be applied to the skin, and you can go home to recover and resume most of your normal activities. The treated skin will likely appear pink, with some swelling and irritation. These symptoms subside within a couple of days. Medication can be prescribed to lessen these symptoms. All patients should minimize UV exposure after their laser skin rejuvenation session and use sun protection. It's important to avoid picking at the skin during the healing process to keep it from scarring and to protect the treated area from UV exposure. Once the healing process is finished, the treated skin should feel softer while looking rejuvenated, younger, and clearer. Most patients require between 3 – 6 Laser Genesis rejuvenation treatments for optimal results.

How much does laser skin rejuvenation cost?
The cost of laser skin rejuvenation will depend on your treatment plan. During your consultation, Dr. Ishaaya will listen to your skin problems and needs before creating a strategy for you. Then, he can help you discuss costs. Optima Medical Spa often runs treatment specials and packages so please ask about current options during your appointment.

How can I help my skin recover after a Laser Genesis treatment?
One of the best parts of this treatment is the results it provides while requiring minimal downtime. After your treatment, you can restart your daily activities, and within about 3 – 4 weeks, you can see noticeable results as collagen production increases.

Should I get laser skin resurfacing, a chemical peel, or microdermabrasion?
Once Dr. Ishaaya has listened to your skin problems, he will help you decide if laser skin resurfacing, microdermabrasion, or a chemical peel will achieve your goals. Although all three rejuvenate the surface of the skin, each has benefits and drawbacks. During your consultation, Dr. Ishaaya will discuss each option and make a recommendation for your treatment.

How often should I get laser rejuvenation treatments?
It all depends on the condition of your skin. However, we generally recommend around six treatments to get the results you want.

Is there any risk of side effects or complications with laser skin rejuvenation?
Like any medical procedure, laser skin rejuvenation can have potential risks or side effects, though they are generally rare and manageable. These may include temporary redness, swelling, itching, or mild discomfort. More serious complications, such as burns or changes in pigmentation, are uncommon and are often related to the skill and experience of the provider. Dr. Ishaaya is highly skilled in performing laser skin rejuvenation and will discuss all potential risks and how to minimize them during your consultation.

What makes laser skin rejuvenation with Laser Genesis technology unique?
