Experience Laser Skin Rejuvenation at JUVA

At JUVA Skin and Laser Center, we are proud to be on the cutting edge of laser technology. Our center is unique in offering a multitude of lasers to treat a variety of skin problems as well as sun-damaged skin. At JUVA we have lasers used for skin resurfacing that are non-ablative(which do not remove the epidermis, or the top layer of skin) as well as the traditional ablative(which remove the epidermis) lasers. The non-ablative lasers work on the deeper (sub-surface) skin layers to aid the growth and replenishment of collagen production. The ablative lasers yield a more remarkable improvement in the reduction of wrinkles and in skin tightening but require more downtime.

Our non-ablative lasers include the Affirm Laser and the Titan Laser. The Affirm Laser is the newest fractional non-ablative resurfacing technology to remove wrinkles, improve skin and texture, and pigmentation. It reduces wrinkles, treats scars (including acne scars) and improves overall skin texture as well as tightens the skin. It has a wavelength of 1440 nm. Unlike other lasers, this new innovative laser has a new headpiece with a grid that allows part of the skin to be treated like an ablative resurfacing laser. With this new technology, you can get the benefits of a resurfacing laser without the downtime that is associated with it. Additionally, the Affirm Multiplexä laser is a non-ablative fractional laser that utilizes a unique delivery system of firing two different wavelengths through the same laser fiber sequentially. The 1440nm targets the epidermis and the superficial dermis and the 1320nm targets collagen in the deep dermis. The Affirm’s specialized Multiplexä technology redistributes the laser energy into varied levels of heat intensity thus fractionating the laser energy. The treatment is fast – taking only about 15 minutes for the whole face. Treatments with the Affirm are performed using an air cooling system that increases patient comfort. Typically 4-6 treatments spaced 2 to 3 weeks apart are required for optimal results, but you will see noticeable results even after the first treatment. After treatment, your skin will have some redness and swelling for a few hours that can be covered with make-up.

The Titan laser is an 1100 to 1800 nm infrared light laser that uniformly heats the collagen beneath the skin to produce tightening effect. It is a non-ablative laser technology used to treat lax skin on the body including the jawline, chin, neck, and abdomen. There is no downtime and 4-6 treatments spaced 2 weeks apart are required to achieve the desired result.

Our ablative lasers include the Sciton Profractional, Sciton Erbium Micropeel, Erbium:YAG, and Ultrapulse CO2 lasers. The Sciton Profractional laser utilizes a 2940 nm Erbium:YAG to deliver energy deep into the dermis ablating micro-channels of tissue and stimulating rejuvenation of the collagen matrix. The laser has great versatility. It can selectively treat, in a single pass, from 1.5% to 60% of the skin area and up to 1500 microns in depth of the epidermis and dermis. All skin types can be treated without the risk of increased pigmentation. Treatment can be adjusted to the patient’s specific skin condition and available downtime.

The Sciton Profile Erbium Micropeel laser is a 2940 nm Erbium:YAG laser that vaporizes (ablates) the skin. The physician precisely controls the depth of the laser beam penetrating into the dermis, tailoring the treatment to the specific needs of each patient. The Sciton Profile can erase fine lines and wrinkles, smooth and tighten eyelid skin, soften smokers’ lines, remove brown spots, and improve uneven skin color. Acne scars as well as traumatic scars can be improved quite dramatically.

The Erbium:YAG laser is a 2940 nm infrared light laser which targets water in the skin. It is the newest and most precise, superficial ablative skin resurfacing laser to remove wrinkles, sunspots, sun damage and acne scars. Recovery time is rapid and redness clears faster than with previous lasers used for these purposes.

The Ultrapulse CO2 laser is a 10,600 nm infrared light laser which targets water in the skin. This laser is used for ablative skin resurfacing to remove wrinkles, sunspots, sun damage and acne, traumatic and surgical scars. It produces tightening of the skin by causing collagen shrinkage.
