Laser Therapy & Energy-Based Devices
Gold-Standard Technology for Safe, Natural Results
Whether you are seeking to reverse sun damage, tighten lax skin, or remove unwanted hair, Premier Dermatology offers advanced laser and energy-based treatments designed to deliver results that are both significant and natural. We believe that powerful technology requires clinical expertise. Every treatment is overseen by board-certified dermatologists with a deep understanding of light–tissue interaction and radiofrequency energy, ensuring care that is precise, safe, and grounded in medical science.
Laser Safety for Every Skin Tone
A common concern among patients—particularly those with olive or deeper skin tones—is the risk of burns or discoloration with laser treatments. Because laser physics interacts differently with varying levels of melanin, selecting the appropriate wavelength and energy settings is essential.
Prior to treatment, we use the Fitzpatrick Skin Typing Scale to medically assess your individual risk profile. Device selection and settings are carefully customized to target concerns such as hair, veins, or scars while protecting surrounding pigment. For Fitzpatrick skin types IV–VI, we utilize specialized technologies—including color-blind radiofrequency (Morpheus8) and Nd:YAG lasers—that safely bypass surface pigment to treat deeper structures with confidence.

Laser Hair Removal
We offer medical-grade laser hair removal that is safe, efficient, and highly effective. By targeting hair follicles during the active growth phase, this treatment achieves long-term hair reduction on the face and body. All treatments are carefully calibrated by our medical team to ensure optimal results for your skin type.
Intense Pulsed Light (IPL)
IPL treatments address two of the most common signs of photodamage: redness (including rosacea and broken capillaries) and brown pigmentation caused by sun exposure and freckles. Light energy selectively targets pigment and blood vessels while preserving surrounding skin, revealing a clearer, more even complexion. IPL is commonly used on the face, neck, décolletage, hands, and arms.
Morpheus8 RF Skin Tightening
Morpheus8 combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy to stimulate collagen production in the deeper layers of the skin. This treatment improves skin laxity, texture, and contouring, with the ability to target underlying fat when appropriate—particularly along the jawline, jowls, and submental area. Morpheus8 is one of our top recommendations for skin tightening, deep acne scarring, and select body contouring concerns.
Fractional Non-Ablative Resurfacing (Nordlys / Frax 1550)
Using the Nordlys system, we perform non-ablative fractional resurfacing similar to Fraxel®. This laser creates microscopic thermal channels that stimulate a healing response, replacing damaged tissue with healthy collagen. It is highly effective for improving fine lines, acne and surgical scars, and overall skin texture with minimal downtime.
Laser Genesis
Laser Genesis is a gentle, non-invasive treatment that safely heats the upper dermis to reduce redness, calm inflammatory acne and rosacea, and support collagen regeneration. Often described as a “warm facial,” it improves pore size, fine lines, and skin tone with no downtime. It is an excellent option for pre-event skin refinement or ongoing maintenance.
Nd:YAG Laser Services
For vascular concerns requiring deeper penetration, we utilize the Nd:YAG laser. This wavelength is ideal for treating facial telangiectasias, angiomas, venous lakes, deeper facial veins, and spider veins on the legs. The laser energy causes targeted vessels to collapse and gradually be reabsorbed, restoring clearer skin with minimal discomfort.
Why Choose Premier Dermatology for Laser Treatments
We invest in best-in-class platforms, including Nordlys®, Candela GentleMax Pro®, and Morpheus8®, to deliver the most effective treatments available. When appropriate, we integrate laser therapy into a broader dermatologic care plan, including skin cancer screening to ensure lesions are safe to treat.
FAQ
Laser & Light Treatments
How many sessions will I need?
Treatment plans vary by condition. IPL and fractional resurfacing typically require a series of three sessions. Laser hair removal generally requires six to eight sessions, while Morpheus8 is commonly performed as a series of three treatments spaced four to six weeks apart.
Does it hurt?
Patient comfort is a priority. Prescription-strength topical numbing is used for deeper treatments such as Morpheus8 and resurfacing lasers. Gentle treatments like Laser Genesis are painless and relaxing.
Is there downtime?
Downtime depends on the modality. Laser Genesis and hair removal have little to no downtime. IPL and Nd:YAG treatments may cause temporary redness and darkening of pigment for several days. Morpheus8 and fractional resurfacing may involve mild swelling and redness for up to a week.
Can laser treatments be combined with injectables?
Yes. We frequently combine laser treatments with neuromodulators, fillers, and biostimulators such as Sculptra® to address laxity, volume loss, and discoloration as part of a comprehensive rejuvenation plan. Personalized skincare and maintenance recommendations are also provided.
When will I see results?
Some treatments, such as IPL, show visible improvement within days as pigment clears. Collagen-stimulating treatments require patience, with continued improvement over three to six months as new collagen forms.
