Laser Treatments
Laser technology has advanced to help treat fine lines and wrinkles. Southern Surgical Arts has the most advanced laser treatments in Chattanooga, North Georgia, and North Alabama to provide you with optimal results.
MicroLaserPeel (microdermabrasion)
A MicroLaserPeel uses a scanning Erbium Laser to remove the outer layers of your skin in a safe and precise manner. We choose the depth of the peel based on your specific skin and how much downtime you can tolerate. We can perform MicroLaserPeel from very gentle to very aggressive, and everything in between.
Unlike earlier lasers, the MicroLaserPeel can be used on the full face, neck, chest, hands, etc. We can also treat smaller areas of need, such as the eyes and mouth, without the risk of changing the color of your skin. This was not possible with earlier laser technology.
One ten-micron MicroLaserPeel is the equivalent of four to six microdermabrasion treatments. Depending on the depth, this procedure can cause two to six days of redness and/or peeling. Depending on your skin and schedule, we may recommend one to six treatments.
MicroLaser Peels, using the Sciton® Laser, can be done as a stand-alone treatment or in combination with other lasers. This treatment has become one of the most effective treatments for wrinkles available today.
ProFractional Erbium Laser
Over the years, the inevitable signs of ageing appear, caused by exposure to the sun, gravity and changes to our bodies over time. All affect the texture, tone and pigmentation of our skin, often causing unwanted wrinkles and fine lines.
ProFractional™ resurfacing optimizes your treatment outcomes while reducing your recovery time. We use the laser to apply a series of tiny pulses of laser energy to your skin, revealing younger-looking skin and stimulating the production of collagen in your skin.
NanoLaserPeel
Just recently released is the NanoLaserPeel™ from Sciton®.
This new laser procedure uses computer-guided precision and the correct wavelength, which works at just the right depth to remove the top layer of skin and accelerate the skin’s own renewal process. The face and neck are the most popular areas for treatment, but most skin areas can be treated.
The procedure causes little to no pain and most people can tolerate the five to ten minute treatment with no anesthetic at all. You may experience some redness and a sensation resembling sunburn immediately after the treatment. The best part is the result—reduced wrinkles, improved color evenness, and smoother, more luminous, healthier-looking skin.
PicoSure
PicoSure®, our newest laser technology, provides effective overall facial skin rejuvenation, including the reduction of fine lines and wrinkles, benign pigmented lesions, and acne scars. The treatment increases new collagen and elastic production and greatly improves the skin’s tone and texture. There is no downtime and no anesthesia required for this treatment at Southern Surgical Arts.
HALO Laser
Aging and exposure to the sun over time can rob your face of its youthful glow and cause fine lines and wrinkles. HALO™ is the latest treatment innovation from Sciton, the only customizable hybrid fractional laser system available.
That means treatments can provide precision removal of both surface and sub-surface facial skin damage simultaneously, even though the two types of skin require a somewhat different approach.
HALO™ is ideal for improving skin tone, texture, wrinkles and fine lines, reducing pore size and bringing back that more youthful glow. Best of all, you can get superior results with little or no downtime.
