Put Your Best Face Forward This Year With Laser Therapy

In springtime, the outdoor world puts on a new face, starting over with new growth for a new year. This spring, why not put your own best face forward? Use laser therapy to shed the outer, damaged layers of your skin. The non-invasive treatment leaves your smooth, unblemished skin looking freshened and rejuvenated, reducing the appearance of lines, dark spots, sun damage, and wrinkles.

With all of the different laser skin resurfacing options available at Apex Dermatology in Westlake Village, California, we can target your treatment to your unique health care needs and aesthetic goals. Led by Karin Harp, MD, FAAD, our experienced care team stays at the cutting edge of laser dermatology, bringing you the best possible results year after year. 

Shed your damaged surface skin

Your skin experiences a lot of wear and tear in day-to-day life. Signs accumulate on its surface layers, especially on and around your face. While some aspects of skin damage, including risks associated with sun exposure, impact your health in invisible ways, for example increased cancer risks, others show right away, leaving spots, wrinkles, redness, or roughness. Signs of fine lines, wrinkles, and sun damage can all leave you looking years older than you feel.

When you smooth away these signs of damage, wear, and tear with laser skin resurfacing, you might be amazed at how youthful and rejuvenated you appear. Your face presents your first impression, so using treatments to target facial skin damage can do a lot to change your overall look. You can also enjoy the benefits of  laser therapy on areas of your body including your neck, chest, arms, and hands.

Laser therapy uses focused light energy to safely remove or tone the damaged outer layers of your skin, exposing the fresh surface of your lower skin layers and effectively refreshing your appearance. In addition to seeing an improvement in your skin surface, your natural collagen, stimulated during laser therapy, continues to refresh and firm your skin for months after your appointment. 

Targeted treatment options

Depending on your skin treatment goals, one of a variety of treatment options might be the best choice for you. Dr. Harp and her talented team can guide you toward the right treatment plan for your skin care.

We offer:

• The Fraxel Dual Laser system, targeting superficial and deep sun damage, freshening the surface and triggering layers of collagen remodeling
• Juliet Aesthetic for Fractional Erbium resurfacing, for reduction of deep wrinkles and extra potent rejuvenation
• Photofacials, using intense pulsed light (IPL) or Excel V to remove blood vessels and reduce redness as well as fading brown spots, tones collagen gradually
• Clear + Brilliant®, fading melasma, treating brown spots, rough texture, shrinking pores, and building collagen with minimal downtime
• The “Lunchtime Laser,” Laser Genesis, which improves your skin tone, calming acne, and gently fading dark spots in less than an hour, with no downtime

Some of the more intensive laser therapy options, such as Fraxel Dual and Juliet Erbium, require 2-5 days of downtime following treatment. Others let you get in and out of your appointment, heading right back into your daily life with minimal to no downtime for recovery. We can discuss your treatment options with you to pick the right laser skin resurfacing procedure for your lifestyle and goals.
