Laser Skin Treatments in Greensboro

Sessions Needed: 1 to 2 sessions, each 3 to 4 weeks apart
Downtime: 3 to 5 days
Results Duration: 6 to 18 months

The world’s first hybrid fractional laser, HALO from Sciton, combines both ablative and non-ablative laser wavelengths for precise skin resurfacing with minimal downtime.

• The 2940nm laser vaporizes damaged skin cells and creates micro-channels in the epidermis to activate the body’s natural healing process. This laser improves both texture and pigment.
• The 1470nm wavelength targets protein-producing structures in the dermis, heating them so they contract. Over time, this leads to increased levels of collagen and elastin production—components that give the skin strength and elasticity.

We recommend HALO laser skin treatments in Greensboro to clients seeking to improve:

• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Sun Damage
• Melasma
• Enlarged Pores
• Uneven skin texture and tone

At Restoration MedSpa, our experienced providers use this FDA-approved laser on your face, neck, hands, and legs. Create a youthful glow with HALO.

Sessions Needed: 1 to 3 sessions, each 4 to 6 weeks apart
Downtime: Minimal
Results Duration: 6 to 12 months

Sister to Sciton’s HALO laser, MOXI uses only non-ablative laser wavelengths to rejuvenate skin with minimal downtime—making it the ideal treatment for clients unfamiliar with facial lasers.

Light energy from the MOXI device bypasses the skin’s epidermis and gently heats the dermis. This irritates the skin and activates the body’s healing process, stimulating collagen and elastin production. These proteins refine skin texture and tightness from the inside out for younger-looking skin.

We recommend MOXI laser skin treatments in Greensboro to treat:

• Uneven skin tone and texture
• Enlarged pores
• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Sun damage and hyperpigmentation

The beauty of MOXI extends beyond repairing dull and damaged skin. Our highly trained medical providers use this laser treatment for prejuvenation—preventing signs of aging before they appear.

Sessions Needed: 1 to 4 sessions, each 4 weeks apart
Downtime: Minimal
Results Duration: 6 to 12 months

While we often mention the BBL HERO when discussing laser skin treatments in Greensboro, it is not a laser. Instead, this device uses broadband light (BBL) therapy to improve skin texture, tightness, and tone.

Unlike lasers—single, focused beams of light—BBL uses a broad spectrum of light (both visible and invisible), treating multiple skin concerns simultaneously. Whereas, you often need multiple lasers if you are wanting to target several skin concerns.

During selective photothermolysis, the dermis layer of the skin absorbs light energy from our BBL HERO device. There, melanin and hemoglobin transform this light into heat, breaking apart unwanted pigment (in the skin and hair) and damaging spider veins to promote a more even skin tone.

We recommend the BBL HERO to reduce the appearance of:

• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Redness and inflammation
• Acne and acne scars
• Unwanted hair

With interchangeable smart filters, our providers can customize the BBL HERO to suit every client’s unique aesthetic goals and concerns to help them love the skin they are in.

Sessions Needed: 4 to 6 sessions, each 2 to 4weeks apart
Downtime: Minimal
Results Duration: 3 to 6 months

In the past, laser skin resurfacing was often unavailable to clients with darker complexions because of safety concerns. The award-winning Aerolase NeoElite changed that—using short, rapid laser pulses, it serves as our anti-aging laser for all skin types.

From the device, light pulses at intervals of 650 microseconds—only slightly slower than the blink of an eye—to address unwanted pigmentation and rough skin texture. These pulses ensure a comfortable and effective treatment without anesthesia and minimizes the risk of pain or burns.

• Skin Texture: The Aerolase NeoElite laser minimizes the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles by increasing collagen and elastin production. It also combats active acne through laser acne therapy, destroying acne-causing bacteria, reducing sebum (oil) production, and soothing inflammation—preventing future outbreaks as well.
• Skin Tone: Through selective polythermolysis, this device targets hyperpigmentation in the dermis, improving the appearance of dark spots. This laser also reduces inflammation, minimizing the appearance of vessels, veins, and angiomas responsible for redness and rosacea.

We recommend Aerolase NeoElite laser skin treatments in Greensboro to improve the appearance of:

• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Acne and acne scars
• Melasma and hyperpigmentation
• Rosacea and redness

At Restoration, we’re proud to have been the first medical spa in the Greensboro area to offer the Aerolase NeoElite when it debuted in 2020. With years of experience, our medical providers help you achieve and maintain a new, healthy glow.

Sessions Needed: 4 to 6 sessions, each 4 to 8 weeks apart
Downtime: Minimal
Results Duration: Varies

An expansion of the Motus moveo (Italian for “move”) approach to laser hair removal, the Motus AZ+ by DEKA features 4 unique handpieces to treat a variety of skin concerns.

• Skin Revitalization: A non-ablative laser stimulates collagen and elastin production in the skin’s middle layers without disrupting the epidermis to improve skin texture and tightness.
• Pigmented Lesion Reduction: The 755nm Alexandrite wavelength minimizes the appearance of sun damage, age spots, and hyperpigmentation by breaking up large pigment groups. The body eliminates these smaller pieces without the risk of hypopigmentation (light spots) common with traditional lasers.
• Vascular Lesion Reduction: Using a synthetic crystal, the 1064nm Nd:YAG laser minimizes the appearance of spider veins and other sources of facial redness by heating hemoglobin and collapsing veins. The body absorbs these unusable veins, evening out the complexion.
• Hair Removal: Hair follicles transform light energy from the Motus AZ+ into heat, causing permanent damage to the hair follicles and halting growth. Gradually, hair becomes thinner and less noticeable or may stop altogether.

We recommend the Motus AZ+ for the following aesthetic concerns:

• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Redness and rosacea
• Sun damage and age spots
• Unwanted body hair

Our providers customize treatment through unique combinations of the Motus AZ+’s multiple handpieces, simultaneously addressing multiple signs of aging in a single session.

At Restoration MedSpa, we recommend our ablative and non-ablative laser skin treatments in Greensboro to patients looking to support their skin’s health and quality by improving texture, tone, and tightness for a more youthful appearance and complexion.

Our laser skin treatments can reduce the appearance of:

• Uneven or blotchy skin
• Sun damage, age spots, and/or hyperpigmentation
• Vascular lesions, such as spider veins and/or broken capillaries
• Rosacea and/or redness
• Moderately loose or sagging skin (skin laxity)
• Enlarged pores
• Uneven skin tone or texture
• Active acne and/or acne scars

We also offer laser skin treatments that are safe for every skin type on the Fitzpatrick Skin-Type Chart. This means we can treat clients with darker complexions who previously did not have access to the skin-rejuvenating benefits of lasers. To minimize the risk of hypopigmentation, our experienced providers may conduct a test patch before proceeding with treatment.

If we decide against laser treatment, our team can offer alternative treatments to help you reach your aesthetic goals.

Who does not make an ideal candidate?

We do not recommend laser skin treatments in Greensboro to clients with the following conditions:

• Currently pregnant or breastfeeding
• Active infections or open wounds in the treatment area
• History of melanoma or other skin cancers
• Photosensitive conditions or light-induced seizures
• Pacemakers or other metal and electronic medical devices near the treatment area

We also ask that clients refrain from taking blood-thinning medications, including nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as aspirin or ibuprofen, 7 days before their appointment. These can increase the risk of bruising. Similarly, avoid photosensitizing drugs like Accutane within 6 to 12 months of the appointment, as these can lead to hyperpigmentation.

Yes! Ablative lasers work by creating microinjuries across your skin’s surface, removing the uppermost layers. This process triggers your body’s healing process, resulting in the production of new skin cells and therefore enhancing your skin tone.

Non-ablative lasers do not vaporize your skin’s superficial layers, minimizing your recovery and requiring zero downtime. However, non-ablative treatments are not generally proven effective for improving skin texture.

Supporting optimal results from your laser skin treatments in Greensboro begins and ends with proper skin care before and after your appointment. Damaged, unhealthy skin won’t receive the full benefits of laser skin resurfacing.

We recommend the following before your appointment:

• Avoid excess sun exposure, sunburns, or self-tanning products 2 to 4 weeks before your appointment, as these can increase the risk of burns or blisters.
• Avoid other aesthetic treatments, including chemical peels and dermal fillers, for at least 14 days prior to your appointment to allow your skin time to heal.
• Avoid harsh or exfoliating skincare products 1 week before treatment, as these can make the skin hypersensitive and slow down the healing process.
• Avoid blood-thinning medications, including NSAIDs such as aspirin or ibuprofen, 1 week before your appointment, as these can increase the risk of bruising.
• Avoid consuming alcohol for 24 to 48 hours before your treatment.

On the day of your appointment, refrain from applying makeup or other skincare products. Don’t worry if your schedule doesn’t allow this. Our providers will thoroughly cleanse your skin before starting your laser treatment.

At Restoration MedSpa, aftercare requirements for laser skin treatments in Greensboro depend on the specific laser treatment you receive. While each laser has its unique post-treatment instructions, we recommend following these general guidelines:

• 24 to 48 hours: Refrain from applying makeup, as these products can trap bacteria, clog pores, and irritate the skin.
• 2 to 3 days: Gently cleanse your skin in the mornings and evenings, patting the area dry afterward. Apply moisturizer to the treatment area to minimize dry, flaking skin.
• 3 to 7 days: Avoid picking at flaking or peeling skin, as this can cause permanent scarring and prevent your skin from healing properly. Instead, apply gentle moisturizer to protect and nourish the skin during this process.
• 5 to 7 days: Avoid strenuous physical activity and excess sun exposure. We recommend reapplying medical-grade SPF 30+ sunscreen every 2 hours and limiting direct UV exposure.
• 1 week: Avoid excessive heat from saunas, hot tubs, and baths.
• 1 to 2 weeks: Avoid harsh or exfoliating skin products, such as retinoids, hydroquinone, or alcohol-based toners, while your skin heals. These can irritate the skin and slow the healing process.

Both before and after your treatment, our providers explain these aftercare instructions in detail to help you maximize your results. Depending on your chosen laser, they may also provide you with a post-treatment care kit to support your skin’s recovery.

At Restoration MedSpa our laser skin treatments in Greensboro effectively address various skin concerns on their own. However, our providers can combine these lasers to tailor your treatment strategy and address your unique aesthetic goals and concerns.

• MOXI + BBL Hero: One of our most popular combinations, this treatment evens skin texture and tone by minimizing redness and gently refining skin quality. We recommend this combination as an effective prejuvenation technique.
• HALO + BBL Hero: This is a more intensive treatment than the previous combination. The HALO laser penetrates the dermis more deeply than the MOXI, addressing deeper lines and wrinkles.
• Aerolase NeoElite + MOXI: Combining these laser treatments can eliminate acne-causing bacteria, reduce post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, and soothe active acne while refining skin texture and tone.

Looking Beyond Laser Resurfacing

Not interested in pairing laser treatments? Our experienced medical providers may recommend combining our aesthetic treatments, such as chemical peels or dermaplaning, with wellness solutions, like IV therapy or salt therapy, for a comprehensive beauty and wellness routine.
