Laser Skin Rejuvenation
An Overview
Non-ablative Laser Skin Rejuvenation is a treatment that uses light energy to stimulate natural collagen growth and remove irregular pigmentation such as facial redness or rosacea, enlarged blood vessels, facial veins, acne scarring, or wrinkles.
Laser Skin Rejuvenation is a non-invasive procedure that fights the signs of aging without the time investment or cost of other skin resurfacing treatments.
Unlike Laser Skin Resurfacing, Laser Skin Rejuvenation does not actually remove skin. Skin rejuvenation uses a gentler laser, commonly the Nlite or Cool Touch lasers. These light sources are among the safest technologies on the market. The laser’s light harmlessly passes through the upper layer of skin, while its heat stimulates collagen growth deep beneath your skin. This collagen will continue to multiply after the treatment. Over the next months, your body will slowly and naturally fill in wrinkles or scars. Also, because this laser skin treatment does not injure the outer layer of skin, there is no prolonged healing process.
The procedure only takes 15-30 minutes on average, meaning many patients can schedule a laser skin rejuvenation treatment on their lunch break. After a laser session, the affected area might appear red for up to an hour, but since there is no wound, makeup can be applied right away. Patients can expect to resume their regular daily activities after a visit to a certified skin rejuvenation clinic. For the best results, patients should set up a series of 3-5 Laser Skin Rejuvenation treatments, spanned over 3-4 week intervals.
If Laser Skin Rejuvenation sounds like the wrinkle removal treatment you've been looking for, we can arrange a free consultation with a skincare specialist who can answer any questions you may have regarding the treatment and help you get startedRejuvenate your skin with Clinic dermatech.

The Clinic Dermatech skin resurfacing and rejuvenation treatment reveals brighter, younger and healthier-looking skin, from the inside out. It treats fine lines, wrinkles and discolorations from deep within the skin to give you a lasting new, revitalized look.
Laser Rejuvenation
Lasers are excellent for improving the skin ranging from minimally invasive procedures with little to no down time to aggressive skin resurfacing for highly sun damaged skin. The choice of procedure and laser depends on your goals and how it matches what can be achieved with various lasers. Dr. Pearlman and his staff will help determine which treatments are best for you. Most of our patients find that the Cutera laser can help treat all but the most wrinkled skin.
Non-Invasive Laser Procedures
The most advanced skin rejuvenation technology is now available in our office for treating aging skin. Photo damaged skin is more than just wrinkles; it is hyperpigmentation (discoloration), enlarged pores, telangiectasias, and brown “age spots”.
Classical treatment for most of these conditions has been dermabrasion, deep chemical peels and laser resurfacing with either CO2 or Erbium lasers. However, these treatments require significant healing time for patients. We are happy to share that alternative solutions have been provided through IPL or Intense Pulsed Light laser with no visible healing time in most patients.
Facial Aging
Re.ju.ve.nateIt is important to recognize the cause of aging in order to select the proper treatment. Most patients demonstrate more than one of these signs, however, they should be evaluated and prioritized according the patient's needs and desires. When truly looking at treatment of the aging face, there is no such thing as a "non-surgical facelift," what is really being referred to is using non-invasive techniques to camouflage aging. For example, over-active facial muscles can be softened with BOTOX®, wrinkles reduced by using lasers, peels and filled with injectable materials such as Collagen and Restylane. Especially when used in combination, these treatments can make one's face appear younger. But to truly "lift" sagging skin, reduce jowls improve a drooping neck, a facelift is necessary.
Your Concerns
- Inherent changes within the skin
- Facial muscles acting on the skin
- Loss of tissue elasticity
- Effects of gravity
- Soft tissue loss or shift and bone loss
See below for treatments for each.
Facial Aging can be categorized into 5 causes. Each is linked to the best treatment in the flow chart below. As a specialist in Facial Plastic Surgery, we understands the need to offer each patient the appropriate therapy for all of these conditions. Every patient is evaluated and a treatment plan is created based on the patient's needs, desires and goals.

The above changes are influenced by intrinsic or genetic factors. These aging factors correlate highly with inherit and/or ethnic influences. Other major factors are environmental such as sun exposure, which causes photoaging as well as habits such as smoking and alcohol, which can alter the skin--causing acceleration in aging of the skin.
The Skin
The Clinic Dermatech when the epidermis (outer layer of the skin) begins to thin, causing the junction with the dermis (outer layer) to flatten. Photoaged skin has a thicker epidermis (keratin), which is "dead" and irregular. There is increased water loss from the skin and a decrease of the sebaceous glands, which provides natural moisture to the skin. More abnormal cells accumulate in aged skin, especially if there is chronic sun damage, which can lead to pre-cancerous and cancerous lesions. Photoaging also causes chronic inflammation of the skin. Sun damage to the skin causes an increase of elastin that clusters into thick bundles. Collagen decreases as we age and the bundles of collagen, which gives the skin turgor, become looser and loses strength.
The skin's capillaries and small blood vessels pull away from the skin, reducing blood flow. The more superficial vessels can thicken from sun exposure, reducing their capacity to nourish the skin. Telangiectasias (spider veins) appear on the surface of the skin, which are too superficial to provide nourishment. Loss of blood supply can also contribute to thinning of the hair and paler skin. This can be treated by a minimally invasive technique called IPL to reduce redness of the skin.
When the skin loses elasticity (ability to bounce back), it is less able to resist stretching. Coupled with gravity, muscle pull and tissue changes, the skin begin to wrinkle. The skin is less able to resist mechanical damage and heals slower from insult. Water loss and breakdown of bonds between cells also reduces the barrier function of the skin, which can cause the skin's pore size to increases. Wrinkles are best treated by peels and lasers and can be filled with injections of filler substances.
Facial Muscles
Facial muscles acting on the skin create dynamic lines. The most obvious dynamic lines are in the upper face. Glabellar lines lay between the eyebrows, which are caused from voluntary and involuntary frowning and are often accompanied by horizontal lines that appear across the bridge of the nose.
Horizontal dynamic lines come from holding up drooping eyelids or eyebrows. Crows feet -- dynamic lines at the corner of the eyes--appear after years of squinting, laughing, smiling--all in the course of living! For more on treatment of dynamic lines in these and other areas of the face see BOTOX®.
Loss of Elasticity and Soft Tissue Volume
Facial aging also is associated with a loss of tissue elasticity where the skin and underlying muscle can no longer rebound from the effects of gravity. Newer lasers and Radiofrequency devices such as Thermage and ELOS can tighten the collagen under the skin to improve texture. Despite recent media popularity, these devices can tighten collagen and may give a minor lift in younger patients; however, they cannot substitute for surgical facial rejuvenation when a face or browlift is indicated. During your consultation, clinic dermatech will help determine the most appropriate procedures to reverse facial aging for you.
As we age, one would think that the face gets fatter, with the appearance of jowls. Actually, the face loses volume, soft tissue and fat. The appearance of jowls and folds are from drooping of facial tissues and folding of areas like the jowls over areas where the muscles below are attached to the skin. As part of this reduction in soft tissue the face gets more hollow. There may also be loss of bone volume that may require replenishment. Fat Transfer by lipostructure and promising substances such as Sculptra help restore youthful facial fullness.
Forehead
The forehead or brow--droops--which lowers the eyebrows and causes the upper eyelid skin to bunch. Forehead lines appear when one tries to hold the brows and eyelids up to counteract these changes. Changes in the brow may actually appear as excess skin of the upper eyelid. It is important to distinguish the actual cause before any course of treatment. This is treated by endoscopic browlift.
The Eyes
The eyes are often the first facial feature to show signs of aging. As we age, fat surrounding the eyes begin to bulge. This is caused when the orbital septum, designed to "dam" or hold the fat back, begins to weaken. Skin changes around the eyes occur earlier than the rest of the face since the skin is thinner around the eyes. The skin contains fewer glands and is subjected to constant blinking, squinting, rubbing and pulling. The treatment is blepharoplasty.
The Midface
The midface ages when the cheeks begin to droop, causing nasolabial folds. Nasolabial folds are the lines that run from the sides of the nose to the corners of the mouth. These folds are treated with facial fillers. The midface or cheek area also descends creating more visible eye sockets. Where there was once a straight youthful contour from the lower eyelid to the cheek, now have two "bulges." The first bulge is the lower eyelid fat, then a valley over the now visible bone of the eye socket. This valley comes from drooping of the cheek mound. A valley may appear near the nose that is called the tear "trough." This "double bulge" deformity comes from aging of the midface. Suspension of the midface via midface lift is the treatment of choice.
The Aging Nose
As we age, the nose elongates. Common causes are thinning of the soft tissue and loss of elasticity, which causes "drooping of the tip," and unmasking of the bone above, creating a new hump. Loss of bone near the upper teeth and jaw coupled with the drooping tip decreases the angle between the nose and the upper lip. Flattening of the forehead can make the nose appear longer. Rhinoplasty may be performed in conjunction with aging face surgery.
The Lower Face
The face ages by the descent of facial tissues. The muscles of the face are attached to the skin along the nasolabial line. This results in what is called "laugh lines" and a sign of a happy individual in youth to a sign of aging when people get older. Folds and lines in this area are best treated with facial fillers. Further down on the face, the corners of the mouth may droop and descent of the jowls can create folds often referred to as "marionette" lines. Short of surgical rejuvenation by a facelift, these areas, too, can be smoothed with facial fillers. BOTOX® is sometimes used to weaken the muscles pulling the corners of the mouth down as well.
Jowls form when the cheeks sag around a fixed point along the jaw where the facial muscles attach to the jawbone. The facial muscles continue down into the neck as a sheet called the Platysma muscle. This muscle often has a gap in the center of the neck creating two bands. Simple platysma bands can be softened with BOTOX®, otherwise a facelift is the treatment of choice.
The chin may appear narrower, which is caused by the loss of support in the chin pad. The loss of elasticity thins the jawbone, narrowing the chin and causes the chin fat pad to droop. This also exaggerates the appearance of jowls. The chin muscle can be re-suspended or supported by a Clinic dermatech with wing like extensions to fill in the gap in front of the jowls called a pre-jowl implant.
