Unlocking youthful, radiant skin is easier than ever with recent advances in laser skin treatments. At Resurrect Skin MD, Dr. Burns and his highly experienced team provide cutting-edge solutions tailored to your unique needs. As a world-renowned expert in both aggressive ablative resurfacing and nonablative laser skin treatments, he has curated the best collection of devices on the market, ensuring each patient receives the safest and most effective results possible matched precisely to their unique needs and desires.
Although lasers are considered powerhouses in the world of medical aesthetics, understanding how they work and treatment costs can often be confusing. To help patients make informed decisions, we’re exploring your available options, what influences the pricing, and how investing in your skin’s health can yield transformative results.
What Are Laser Skin Treatments and How Do They Work?
Laser skin treatments encompass the use of light-based devices to rejuvenate the skin, improving its health, appearance and texture. Most devices use specific wavelengths of light measured in nanometers (nm) to target your exact concerns. For example, certain wavelengths are attracted to hemoglobin in the blood, making them highly effective at treating vascular lesions and facial redness, while others are better suited for eliminating dark spots and sun damage by targeting excess melanin, the pigment that gives our skin and hair color.
Because of this, performing laser treatments requires a significant amount of training, knowledge and expertise to achieve safe and reliable results. Widely known as the laser guru, Dr. Burns has all three in spades and is a renowned expert in the field. Throughout his 30+ year career, he has also been involved in numerous clinical trials and scientific advisory boards, sharing his wisdom to help advance laser technology and improve its efficacy. He has shared this knowledge with his team, making them some of the highest trained staff in the world.
What Are My Laser Resurfacing Options?
At Resurrect Skin MD, we offer the best that laser resurfacing has to offer. Dr. Burns has personally vetted and handpicked each device at his practice, ensuring patients receive the latest and most effective treatments based on their skin type and aesthetic goals.
Dr. Burns believes that in order to feel loved and appreciated you have to feel heard. Therefore, it is our priority at RSMD to listen carefully to your needs and desires. We start with a comprehensive skin analysis to learn more about your skin type, creating a personalized roadmap for effective treatments. We also take your budget and the amount of downtime that you can manage into consideration. Our goal is to help you look and feel your best — we do everything to treat what you want without ever overselling or underselling you.
Moxi
Moxi is an ideal choice for those seeking a gentler approach to laser resurfacing. This nonablative laser is suitable for all skin types and can address a wide range of concerns, from the milder signs of aging or sun damage to enlarged pores and an uneven skin tone. It provides polished results with minimal social downtime, making it easy to fit into your existing skincare routine. Moxi can be used on its own for touch-ups, maintenance or early intervention, but it is frequently used in combination with other lasers and aesthetic technologies such as RF microneedling and Sofwave for more significant improvements in skin tone or texture.
BBL HERO
BBL HERO uses BroadBand Light® (BBL) technology to gently heat up the top layer of the skin, triggering the production of fresh collagen and elastin. As new collagen and elastin fibers develop and mature, the skin appears firmer, brighter and more rejuvenated. BBL HERO and its newest iteration, BBL HEROic, come with a variety of filters and adapters, making it able to address a large number of concerns, including acne, sun damage, age spots, pigmented lesions, brown lesions, red vascular spots, blood vessels, and more.
BBL can be considered an upgraded version of intense pulsed light (IPL) therapy, using Sciton’s advanced High Energy Rapid Output (HERO) technique to increase power, performance and speed. Dr. Burns was instrumental in bringing the BBL HERO to market and has seen firsthand how it can help patients achieve better, more noticeable results in less time than standard IPL.
HALO
As the world’s first hybrid fractional laser, HALO is a revolutionary device that utilizes both ablative and nonablative wavelengths in a single pass. This dual-wavelength approach allows for deep dermal rejuvenation and surface-level renewal, providing a holistic therapeutic effect that can’t be achieved with any other treatment in a single pass. HALO is exceptional at targeting the visible signs of aging and delivering immediate results that get better with time. Built with a variety of skin types in mind, your HALO treatment can be customized for your unique needs and goals.
Erbium Laser Resurfacing
Erbium laser resurfacing is a powerful ablative laser that works by vaporizing the top layer of the skin, removing dead and damaged skin cells while stimulating collagen production to deliver dramatic and long-lasting results. Because it is more aggressive than other lasers and may require some form of anesthesia, it is only performed by Dr. Burns at Resurrect Skin MD and is often reserved for patients with deeper lines or wrinkles and more advanced sun damage.
Erbium lasers have come to replace CO2 laser resurfacing, as they offer similar results with fewer side effects and a more comfortable recovery period. Dr. Burns has proved this with two landmark articles published on CO2 resurfacing in 1998, and a similar study with Erbium lasers in January of 2019. Over the last 20 years, he has championed the transition from CO2 to Erbium, helping people achieve dramatic improvements with significantly fewer complications.
Derma V
Derma V is a state-of-the-art laser by Lutronic that treats vascular lesions, pigmentation issues and facial redness. Derma V targets the underlying causes of these concerns with precision, offering significant improvements in skin texture, clarity and coloration. It also features built-in cooling to maximize comfort, making it a good choice for patients with a low pain tolerance.
Factors That Can Affect the Cost of Your Treatment
Treatment Type & Complexity
The type of laser used and the complexity of the skin issues you’re looking to resolve are important factors when it comes to determining the overall cost of treatment. For example, deeper acne scars or extensive sun damage may require more sessions with a combination of devices to achieve noticeable results. If you’re just looking to refresh your appearance with a gentler treatment, you can expect to pay less, although these treatments often need to be performed on a regular basis. Compare this to aggressive laser resurfacing, which is more expensive and involves more downtime, but rarely needs to be repeated.
While aggressive resurfacing offers amazing and long-lasting results, it should be used selectively when needed. Dr. Burns is one of the very best in the world with aggressive laser resurfacing and travels internationally teaching his published and widely accepted techniques.
Combination Treatments
Sometimes, the best results are achieved with a multi-faceted approach that uses two or more lasers to target your specific concerns. During your initial consultation, Dr. Burns and his experienced team will assess your needs and create a personalized treatment plan just for you, recommending the best combination of lasers to bring your Skin to Life™.
Treated Areas
Lasers are usually thought of as a facial treatment, but many devices (like BBL HERO and Moxi) can actually be used elsewhere on the body — such as the neck, chest, hands and arms — to target concerns like scarring, dark spots or sun damage, fine wrinkles, and loose, crepey skin. When using lasers to treat some of these larger areas, your treatment may incur higher costs.
Number of Sessions
Depending on the type of laser used to achieve your goals, you may need to undergo more than one session. Some devices can lead to immediate improvements after your very first appointment, but many deliver the best outcome when performed as a series of treatments spaced several weeks apart. This is the safest approach as the skin heals much more slowly from the neck down. You must be patient and treat the skin gently and consistently in these sensitive areas, allowing for gradual results and a safer, more comfortable recovery.
Your Provider’s Expertise
Your provider’s expertise has a direct effect on the quality of your treatment and should be your biggest consideration when evaluating cost. Dr. Burns is a recognized authority in laser resurfacing and brings over three decades of experience to each procedure. His extensive background ensures that your treatment plan is not only effective but grounded in the latest and most effective technology. Unlike many laser centers, Resurrect Skin MD is his practice and he is highly involved. Choosing a provider like Dr. Burns and his team can greatly influence the overall success of treatment, providing long-term value that exceeds the monetary cost.
