Laser Surgery

Laser surgery is the process of using lasers for a variety of cosmetic procedures, including facial skin resurfacing, laser skin rejuvenation and laser liposuction. The different types of laser surgery have become quite popular in recent years because they offer people the results they want without the risks, costs and downtime associated with traditional cosmetic surgery.

Facial Laser Surgery

Facial laser surgery, also known as skin resurfacing, improves the appearance and texture of skin and also helps reduce fine lines, wrinkles and skin discoloration. Skin resurfacing is also extremely effective for minimizing large pores, tightening skin, removing sun spots, removing wrinkles and reducing acne scarring. Skin lasers work by vaporizing the top layers of skin, revealing fresh skin underneath and increasing the skins production of collagen.

Collagen, a protein in the skins connective tissue that helps keep it taut and firm, diminishes as we age. Factors such as the natural aging process, the damaging effects of the sun and exposure to smoke all play a role in breaking down existing collagen and causing wrinkles. But laser skin treatments actually create new-and-improved collagen, making patients look much younger than they are.

Sapphire Advanced Aesthetics

Laser facial rejuvenation treatments take place at Sapphire Advanced Aesthetics in our Wayzata Laser Center just minutes from Minneapolis and are performed under a local anesthetic. The recovery time varies according to the treatment, although many of our non-invasive procedures have no downtime associated with them and patients immediately go back to their daily activities.

Laser Liposuction

There are also various laser liposuction and body sculpting options to choose from for patients wanting to reshape areas of their body that are unresponsive to diet and exercise. Self-consciousness prevents many people from participating in activities that require wearing bathing suits or certain clothing, and laser lipo can help. Changing the shape of your body can give you a new-found sense of confidence and vitality.

Laser assisted liposuction uses the Sapphire Laser to help melt away and dissolve fat, making the fat much easier to remove from the body than with traditional liposuction. Patients have seen the greatest results on smaller sections of fat in areas such as the waist, thighs, upper arms, hips and buttocks. Most Patients are able to go to work the next day and experience much less swelling and bruising than with traditional liposuction.

Laser surgery helps our patients look (and feel) their absolute best. Whether you want younger looking skin, or to sculpt certain target areas of your body, the laser surgery center has a laser surgery treatment or procedure that can help you achieve the results you seek.
