Laser Treatments
Laser Hair Removal
Cutera lasers is a cutting-edge laser system that cools as it glides along the skin’s surface. It can be used on all skin tones and its longer wavelength allows safe and permanent hair removal results without the need for anesthesia or pain medication.
Laser hair removal is a much less invasive process than electrolysis. Electrolysis involves using a needle to deliver an electrical charge into each individual hair follicle, resulting in more pain and a significantly longer process. Laser hair removal treatments deliver light waves to hundreds of hair follicles simultaneously, taking seconds rather than hours.
-
-
Safe for all skin tones.
Most patients need 3-6 treatments per area, spaced to catch different hair growth phases.
Only mild discomfort (“pinching” or mild stinging) and minimal downtime (redness + swelling typically resolve within a day).
-
Treats many follicles at once (seconds vs. hours), less invasive, and less painful.
-
Facial hair, underarms, bikini line, and legs.
Skin Rejuvenation – Laser Genesis™ by Cutera
Laser Genesis™ by Cutera is a non-invasive laser procedure that safely and effectively treats wrinkles, redness, and scarring on the face and neck.
Laser Genesis™ is especially effective at treating diffuse redness, a condition caused by capillary dilation mostly on the nose, forehead and cheeks. Diffuse redness is typically associated with rosacea and the symptoms can be significantly diminished through laser therapy.
Laser Genesis™ works by heating the layer below the surface of the skin to stimulate college and reduce the appearance of diffuse redness.
-
A non-ablative 1064 nm Nd:YAG laser that gently heats the dermis to stimulate collagen, reduce redness, and refine texture—all with zero downtime.
-
Works for all skin types.
Ideal for diffusing redness/rosacea, enlarged pores, and fine lines.
Typically 4-6 sessions recommended.
No anesthesia needed.
Patients can immediately return to normal activities.
Skin Tightening – Cutera Titan® (Infrared Dermal Heating)
The Cutera Titan® heats the dermis layer of skin with an even distribution of infrared light energy to reach and tighten the skin at deeper levels. During treatment, the top layer of the skin is cooled by the Titan’s continuous cooling system to prevent discomfort and pain during the procedure.
-
A deep-heating infrared laser that tightens skin by heating the dermis, while cooling the surface. Targets jawline, neck, abdomen, etc.
-
Continuous cooling system for comfort during treatment.
Best results typically after 2-3 treatments spread over months.
No injections/surgery and minimal downtime.
Skin Resurfacing – Fraxel Fractional Laser
Fraxel skin resurfacing provides an instant “face lift” using laser light therapy rather than invasive surgery. It helps to improve the texture of sun damaged or scarred skin, boosting collagen production for a younger, tighter look in only one treatment. Fraxel is the first non-ablative fractional skin resurfacing system that simultaneously cools as it moves along the skin.
-
A non-ablative fractional laser that creates thousands of tiny treatment zones in the skin to rebuild collagen and improve texture, pigmentation, sun damage, and acne scars.
-
Minimal downtime compared to ablative lasers.
Good for fine lines, sunspots, surgical/acne scars—especially when you’re ready to invest in results.
More than one session is often needed for deeper concerns.
IPL/Broad-Spectrum Light Treatments
-
Intense Pulsed Light delivers multiple wavelengths to treat pigmentation, broken blood vessels, redness, unwanted hair, sun damage, and stretch marks.
-
Versatile treatment for color/texture issues.
Particularly effective on lighter skin tones.
Intense Pulse Light Therapy, or phototherapy, uses lasers to improve facial color and texture without the need for anesthesia or invasive surgery. IPL lasers send out multiple waves of light simultaneously to target the skin at various depths for more effective results.
Vascular & Pigment-Specific Laser Therapy
Vascular Laser Therapy can be used to treat a number of vascular lesions such as varicose veins and spider veins, rosacea redness, angiomas and more. Laser therapy provides a fast, non-invasive and effective treatment option to reduce the appearance of vascular lesions both superficially and deep below the surface of the skin.
-
Specialized lasers and light-based systems treat spider veins, telangiectasias, angiomas, port-wine stains, and varicose veins.
-
Non-invasive and effective for both superficial and deeper vessels.
Ideal for rosacea redness, leg veins, and birth-mark vascular lesions.
Sclerotherapy is a minimally invasive, prescription injectable treatment designed to eliminate spider veins and small varicose veins. At MD Claiborne Dermatology, Dr. Claiborne uses Asclera® (polidocanol)—a trusted FDA-approved solution—to gently irritate the inner lining of dilated veins. This causes the vein to collapse, seal shut, and naturally fade as the body reabsorbs it over time.
In clinical studies, over 87% of patients reported being satisfied or very satisfied with their Asclera® results, noting smoother, clearer skin and improved confidence.
Sclerotherapy is a proven, nonsurgical alternative to laser vein removal with long-lasting cosmetic and medical benefits.
