Lite-Touch Laser Therapy:

The treatment of facial skin using chemical peel, dermabrasion, and laser resurfacing has continued to evolve offering patients more options than previously available. Most recently, we have incorporated the Lite-Touch, non-ablative laser therapy for our patients interested in a treatment option with minimal or no recovery time. This laser employs pulsed, laser light directed at the tissue below the skin's surface.

The procedure is performed in the office, takes about thirty minutes, and has virtually no down time since the surface of the skin remains intact. Dr. Rodgers recommends two treatment sessions over a two-week period. Early studies have demonstrated that the Lite-Touch laser stimulates collagen formation and a progressive tightening of the skin surface over a 2 to 3 month period. This treatment is aimed primarily at patients with minimal wrinkling, as the results are limited compared with other treatment methods.
