How laser facials work
Laser facial treatments use controlled 1064 nm Nd:YAG energy to warm the dermis without ablating the skin surface. The goal is to trigger a collagen response while keeping downtime low.

Laser Facial Treatment
Laser facial planning for color, texture, and elasticity.
A laser facial should be planned around your pigment pattern, redness, texture, skin tone, sun exposure, collagen goals, and whether you can commit to the recommended series.
What they support
Laser facial plans can support redness, uneven tone, texture, pore appearance, fine lines, and mild laxity. Improvements are usually gradual as collagen remodeling builds across repeated visits.
How they fit into a plan
Laser facial can be part of a broader skin plan with Hydrafacial, peels, microneedling, and neurotoxins. It is often planned as a repeated low-downtime treatment rather than a one-time correction.

Treatment Overview
What your laser facial plan is built around.
Your provider will consider pigment pattern, redness, skin tone, texture, sensitivity, sun exposure, package timing, and whether the goal is surface clarity, collagen support, or both.
Tone and clarity
Laser facial treatments can support a clearer, more even-looking complexion when matched to pigment, redness, and texture concerns.
1064 nm Nd:YAG collagen support
The GentleMax Pro Plus Nd:YAG wavelength can deliver controlled heat into the deeper dermis. That heat response supports collagen remodeling over time, which is why results are built through a series rather than one visit.
Series planning
One treatment can leave skin looking refreshed, but tightening and collagen support are more realistic with a package of five treatments spaced every 2 to 4 weeks.
Not sure where to start?
Use Aura Skin Analysis to map tone and texture before laser facial.
Aura imaging helps document red areas, brown spots, wrinkles, texture, and facial structure so your provider can plan laser settings and timing more precisely.

Frequently Asked Questions
Laser Facial questions, answered clearly.
What can a laser facial help with?
Laser facial treatments can support tone, texture, redness, pigmentation, pore appearance, fine lines, mild laxity, and overall clarity when matched to the right concern.
How does the GentleMax Pro Plus laser facial work?
This treatment typically uses the 1064 nm Nd:YAG wavelength to deliver controlled heat into the dermis. That heat response helps stimulate collagen remodeling over time without creating the downtime of an ablative resurfacing treatment.
Will I need more than one laser facial?
Yes. One treatment can be refreshing, but visible tightening and collagen support usually need consistency. We commonly recommend a package of five treatments spaced every 2 to 4 weeks.
Can laser facial be combined with other treatments?
Yes, but usually with intentional spacing. Hydrafacial, peels, microneedling, and neurotoxins may all fit into a broader plan depending on your goals.
What downtime should I expect?
Laser facial is generally low downtime. Mild redness, warmth, or temporary sensitivity can happen, but most patients do not need to plan around significant peeling or a long recovery window.
Do I need to avoid sun before laser treatments?
Yes. Sun planning is important for laser treatments, especially when addressing pigmentation or redness.
