Laser skin rejuvenation is a non-surgical treatment that uses laser energy to remodel and resurface the skin, addressing various skin concerns and visible signs of aging. This treatment can enhance the production of collagen as it removes dead or damaged skin, restoring a more youthful-looking appearance and healthier skin simultaneously. Laser skin treatments are among the most popular minimally invasive cosmetic procedures in the country, with more than 3.1 million treatments performed in 2024 alone. (1)

If you are ready to revitalize your appearance, look no further than 17Medspa! Our team has countless years of experience helping patients across California improve their skin through several different treatments, including laser skin rejuvenation.

About Laser Skin Rejuvenation

Laser skin rejuvenation is a minimally invasive procedure that uses concentrated light energy to improve the texture, tone, elasticity, and overall health of the skin. These treatments help stimulate the production of collagen and elastin, remove layers of dead or damaged skin, and address a wide range of skin concerns.

  • Ablative Lasers: Ablative lasers remove the outermost layers of skin for more dramatic results and deeper remodeling. These treatments often require more downtime. (2)
  • Non-Ablative Lasers: Non-ablative lasers heat the underlying layers of tissue to stimulate collagen production without removing the surface layers of the skin. (3) Non-ablative treatments often have quicker recovery times and more subtle results.

Available Laser Treatments

At 17Medspa, we offer a wide range of lasers to address different concerns. During your consultation, your specialist will evaluate your skin concerns and quality to help determine the best laser for your goals.

Fotona 4D

Fotona 4D is a non-invasive face-lifting treatment that uses laser technology to restore a more youthful-looking appearance. This treatment uses four different modes, including intraoral (inside the mouth) skin tightening, fractional skin resurfacing, concentrated heating, and light peeling to target concerns such as skin laxity, visual signs of aging, and uneven skin texture and tone.

Erbium YAG Laser

Erbium YAG (Er:YAG) lasers use erbium-doped yttrium aluminum garnets to produce infrared light. This ablative laser enhances remodeling by removing damaged skin with less heat than CO2 lasers. This treatment is ideal if you are interested in addressing sun-damaged skin, acne scars, pigmentation irregularities, mild facial wrinkles, and more.

Fractional Lasers

Fractional lasers are non-ablative lasers that are designed to deliver laser energy in microscopic columns, treating only certain fractions of the skin at a time. This laser treatment addresses acne scars, wrinkles, age spots, pigmentation concerns, and more.

M22 by Lumenis

The M22 by Lumenis is an advanced laser treatment that delivers both Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) and fractional non-ablative lasers. This well-tolerated and highly customizable laser can address several different concerns, including rosacea, acne scars, leg veins, port-wine stains, and more. We offer this treatment at our Buena Park location.

MIIN Laser

The MIIN laser is a specialized laser that was created in Korea and designed for Asian skin, although it can be used on all skin types and tones. This laser both resurfaces and tightens skin using fractional laser technology, and it can treat the appearance of hyperpigmentation, acne scars, freckles, sunspots, and more.

Excel V

Excel V specifically targets dark spots, redness, and skin pigmentation concerns. It uses a dual-wavelength laser to target colored cells that appear red, purple, blue, or brown. The absorbed laser energy helps destroy these pigmented cells, allowing the body to remove them naturally. Excel V is also effective for reducing the appearance of spider veins, broken capillaries, port-wine stains, sun spots, rosacea, and more. Excel V is only available at our Cupertino location.

Benefits

Laser skin rejuvenation provides impressive results alongside several benefits, some of which include:

  • Improved Skin Texture: Laser skin rejuvenation can address the appearance of acne scars and smooth out rough or dry patches, resulting in a smoother feel.
  • Pigmentation Correction: These treatments can reduce the appearance of pigmentation irregularities, resulting in a more even skin tone and complexion.
  • Reduced Signs of Aging: Laser skin rejuvenation can stimulate the production of collagen, which can reduce visible wrinkles and fine lines.
  • Minimal Downtime: Most patients can return to their schedule immediately after treatment, allowing them to achieve results with minimal disruption to their routine.
  • Non-Surgical Nature: Laser skin rejuvenation does not require extensive recovery times or the use of incisions.
  • Lasting Effects: The effects of laser skin rejuvenation can last for several months with continued improvements, especially when paired with an effective skincare routine.

Candidates

Our laser skin rejuvenation treatments can be used safely on any skin type or tone, meaning that anyone interested in enhancing the health and appearance of their skin may be a suitable candidate. These treatments are especially effective for concerns such as:

  • Facial Wrinkles
  • Sun Damage
  • Melasma
  • Hyperpigmentation
  • Rosacea
  • Acne Scars
  • Veins of the face, legs, and preorbital areas
  • Enlarged Pores
  • Age Spots

Anyone interested in laser skin rejuvenation should be in good general health and hold realistic expectations for their results. Patients with certain active skin infections, rashes, or sunburns may be asked to delay their treatment. During your consultation, your specialist will assess your candidacy and determine which laser is best suited to your goals.

Personal Consultation

Before scheduling your laser skin rejuvenation, you will need to attend a personal consultation. During this appointment, you will meet with one of our specialists to discuss your medical history, skin concerns, and treatment goals. They will also evaluate the quality and condition of your skin. The specialist will use the details shared throughout the meeting to determine the best type of laser for your goals and create a customized treatment plan. You will receive a set of preparation and recovery instructions, as well as a cost estimate for your treatment. Throughout the consultation, your specialist will also answer any questions you may have.

To schedule this consultation and receive your tailored treatment plan, please schedule a consultation online or call the office most convenient for you:

Preparation

During your consultation, you will receive a set of preparation instructions tailored to the details of your treatment plan. These instructions are fairly straightforward, but should still be followed to ensure the best results.

You will need to modify your skincare routine to avoid using harsh or heavy skincare products, such as chemical peels, exfoliants, retinoids, or retinols. You will need to wear the proper sun protection when going out, and refrain from using tanning beds leading up to the appointment. On the day of your appointment, please arrive with clean, makeup-free skin.

Procedure

When you arrive, one of our laser specialists will lead you to a private room where they will cleanse and sanitize your skin, then apply a topical anesthetic to mitigate any potential discomfort.

The specialist will use the selected laser device to administer your treatment. As the laser energy is absorbed into the skin, the underlying layers of tissue are heated, which stimulates the production of collagen and elastin. These are two key proteins that maintain the texture, tone, and elasticity of your skin. (3)

Recovery

After your treatment, you will be free to return to your daily routine. You may experience redness, sensitivity, or mild irritation in the treated areas. These symptoms are temporary and typically subside on their own in the following few days. It is important to wear sun protection when leaving the house and refrain from using certain skincare products and wearing makeup until your skin has completely recovered.

Your specialist may recommend certain moisturizers or creams to help soothe your skin and enhance your recovery. Any additional recovery instructions will be discussed during your consultation.

Results

The results of laser skin rejuvenation are gradual, meaning you will be able to see continuous skin improvements as your collagen levels increase. You will be able to enjoy tighter and smoother skin, as well as a more youthful-looking appearance. When paired with an effective skincare routine and the proper sun protection, results can be long-lasting.

Cost of Laser Skin Rejuvenation

Our laser skin rejuvenation treatments are tailored to your skin concerns and goals, meaning that the cost of treatment will vary. Our team considers several factors, such as the type of laser used, the concerns being addressed, the number of treatment sessions needed, and whether or not any additional treatments are performed. After establishing the details of your treatment plan, we will provide you with a comprehensive cost estimate.

17Medspa also offers flexible financing solutions to make treatments more accessible.
