Laser skin treatments offer a precise and effective way to address a variety of skin concerns, from sun damage and fine lines to acne scars and uneven pigmentation. At Art of Medicine Direct, we use safe and proven laser technology to help improve skin texture, tone, and overall health without the need for invasive procedures.

How Laser Treatment Works

Laser therapy targets specific areas of the skin using concentrated light energy. This stimulates collagen production, reduces discoloration, and promotes natural skin healing. Depending on the treatment type, the laser can gently resurface the skin’s outer layers or penetrate deeper to encourage long-term rejuvenation.

Our laser treatments can address:

• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Acne scars and blemishes
• Sun damage and age spots
• Uneven skin tone and redness
• Enlarged pores and mild skin laxity

The procedure is tailored to your skin type and concerns, ensuring the safest and most effective results.

What to Expect During and After Treatment

A typical laser session lasts between 30 minutes to an hour, depending on the area being treated. Before the procedure, a cooling gel or numbing agent may be applied to minimize discomfort. Most patients experience a warming sensation during the treatment, similar to a mild sunburn.

After the session, you may notice some redness and slight swelling, which usually subsides within a few hours to a few days. Some treatments may cause mild peeling as the skin renews itself. Depending on the condition being treated, multiple sessions may be recommended for optimal results.

To support healing and protect your skin, we advise:

•  Applying gentle moisturizers and avoiding harsh skincare products
•  Using sunscreen daily to prevent pigmentation changes
•  Staying hydrated and maintaining a healthy skincare routine

Is Laser Treatment Right for You?

Laser therapy is safe for most skin types, but the best candidates are those with mild to moderate skin concerns looking for a non-surgical solution. During a consultation, we assess your skin and discuss your medical history to determine the most suitable treatment plan. If you have certain skin conditions or are prone to excessive scarring, alternative options may be recommended.

At our Charlotte practice, we focus on patient-centered care, ensuring that every treatment is performed with safety and long-term skin health in mind.
