HALO

Unlike any other laser, HALO is a breakthrough skin resurfacing treatment that our providers customize to produce the desired results with more or less downtime, depending on the patient’s lifestyle. HALO is the first hybrid fractional laser (HFL) that delivers both ablative and non-ablative wavelengths to the same microscopic treatment area. This means that you don’t have to choose between great results and minimal downtime. That’s what being a #Happy Camper is all about.

Women and men of all skin types can benefit from HALO treatments, which can target the neck, chest, and hands, in addition to the face. By combining the more invasive ablative wavelength, which removes the skin’s outer layers, with the non-ablative wavelength, HALO addresses multiple skin concerns in a single treatment. HALO is great for men and women of all ages concerned about:

• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Discoloration
• Sunspots
• Large pores
• Rough skin texture
• Redness

MOXI

MOXI is a mild laser treatment designed to help treat early signs of aging and sun damage on the face, neck, and chest to help keep your skin looking healthy and fresh for as long as possible. MOXI can also be used to maintain and prolong the results of other laser treatments. MOXI treatments only take about 10 minutes and involve minimal discomfort. This gentle laser treatment requires no downtime, and recovery is quick for most patients.

MOXI is safe for women and men of all ages who want to prevent further damage to their skin and have minor skin concerns such as:

• Uneven skin tone and texture
• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Freckles
• Light sun damage

Contour TRL

We use this laser for deep skin resurfacing to treat a range of skin conditions, customizing each procedure depending on the patient’s specific concerns, the desired results, and the amount of downtime expected. By adjusting the intensity of the laser treatment, we safely remove a layer of skin to a depth that Dr. Camp determines will provide the desired outcome. A laser skin peel such as Contour TRL stimulates new collagen growth, improving the thickness and resilience of your skin. The fresh, healthy skin cells that emerge after the treatment also give the skin a more youthful and rejuvenated appearance.

Contour TRL is a more intense treatment for the face and body. Depending on the severity of the skin damage, recovery time can vary from one day to several days to fully recover. Candidates are men and women of all ages with:

• Scars
• Acne marks
• Uneven or rough skin texture
• Severe skin aging

MicroLaserPeel

This treatment is less invasive than the Contour TRL resurfacing treatment but can be combined with other treatments that enhance collagen production. We can use a MicroLaserPeel for the face, neck, chest, and hands and combine it with Forever Young BBL for enhanced results.

This laser peel works to remove the outer layers of skin, revealing fresh, healthier skin and stimulating collagen as you heal. It’s a great option for women and men with:

• Irregular skin texture
• Uneven skin tone
• Sun damage/discoloration
• Pigmented lesions
• Fine lines and wrinkles

NanoLaserPeel

Some patients can benefit from a laser treatment that removes just the skin’s upper layer, refreshing your appearance with very limited downtime. Both the NanoLaserPeel and MicroLaserPeel involve a laser precisely removing damaged skin. But the NanoLaserPeel is less intense and can be compared to a light to moderate chemical peel. We love to combine it with HydraFacial and use it as a maintenance treatment.

Full results are often visible within 2-3 days after treatment. Candidates are men and women with minor skin conditions, including:

• Superficial blemishes
• Discoloration
• Dull skin
• Fine lines

Additionally, avoid any topical products or medications that cause skin photosensitivity for 3 days before your treatment. Don’t worry if you’re not sure what products these might be; call our office, and we’ll personally instruct you before your treatment.

We start all patients on a skincare regimen recommended by our treatment team. This helps to optimize results. Applying a topical retinoid for 4 weeks before your treatment helps prepare your skin for laser treatments. Be sure to use sunscreen daily to help prevent sun damage and burns before treatment. As stated above, we will recommend the appropriate sunscreen as part of your skincare package.

Patients who have a history of fever blisters, shingles, or herpes and who are taking Valtrex must take it 3 days before treatment, on the day of treatment, and 3 days after treatment. 

For best results, we recommend not smoking before treatment. This can interfere with the healing process and affect your results.
