Facial laser treatments are advanced, non-surgical procedures that rejuvenate the skin by using targeted laser energy to remove damaged outer layers and stimulate collagen production. Dr. Ives uses laser energy devices to address a range of skin concerns, including wrinkles, fine lines, acne scars, sun damage, and uneven skin tone, resulting in a smoother, more youthful complexion.
The procedure itself typically involves a consultation with Dr. Graham Ives, where your specific skin concerns are assessed to tailor the treatment plan. During the session, the patient is prepped, often with a topical anesthetic, and protective eyewear is provided. Dr. Ives or a certified IvesMD practitioner then guides the laser device over the treatment areas. The sensation is often described as a warm, rapid snapping. Post-treatment, patients can expect some redness and swelling, similar to a sunburn, which typically subsides within a few days. Dr. Ives emphasizes post-care instructions to ensure optimal healing and lasting results from the treatment.
