Laser skin tightening, wrinkle reduction, and laser skin resurfacing are more effective when the right treatments are combined. Since each person’s skin is unique, we don’t limit our practice to just one type of treatment or laser.

What is Laser Genesis?
We like to think of our Laser Genesis treatments as laser facials. Laser Genesis uses non-ablative Nd:YAG laser energy to penetrate the epidermis and enter the dermis, where the energy encourages new production of collagen. We use Laser Genesis to improve fine lines, redness, rosacea, and acne scarring, among other skin issues.
What is Claro?
e Claro2 is the strongest laser treatment option we offer. This laser system is specially designed to improve skin texture and tone, and fight
wrinkles, scars and pigmentations. Since the treatment procedures are customized to patients' skin, operators are able to adjust laser settings to tailor treatments and achieve superior results.
The laser delivers a series of microscopic, closely-spaced laser spots to the skin while simultaneously preserving the normal, healthy skin. The
undamaged skin becomes a reservoir of tissue for fast heating and regeneration of the treated area by producing and providing new dermal
collagen and eliminating epidermal pigmentation and irregularities to the skin tone. The Claro2 laser system is specially designed to improve skin texture and tone, and fight wrinkles, scars and pigmentations.
What is MicroTight RF?
MicroTight RF combines the skin improvement of microneedling with radiofrequency energy. In stand-alone microneedling, the microscopic needles in the handpiece oscillate up and down penetrating the skin to a depth of up to 0.6mm. As the handpiece is moved across the treatment areas, the microneedles create hundreds of punctures. This improves outer skin texture and encourages the skin’s healing mechanisms to improve the overall appearance and health of the skin.
Radiofrequency energy has been used for years to trigger a wound-healing mechanism in the dermis, the skin’s second layer. The RF energy is applied to the outer epidermis and it penetrates this layer, entering the dermis where the RF energy converts to heat energy. When the body senses heat in the dermis layer of the skin it assumes there has been a wound. The body then responds by remodeling and stimulating the existing collagen at the site of the perceived wounds. This improves the skin from within, thickening and firming the skin with new collagen, elastin, and new skin cells.
By combining microneedling with RF energy, MicroTight RF delivers the benefits of both treatments at once. When the microneedling tips reach their maximum depth, MicroTight RF emits a burst of RF energy beneath the epidermis. This energy directly enters the dermis, without having to first penetrate the epidermis. This allows MicroTight RF to deliver higher levels of RF energy into the dermis because there aren’t any concerns about damaging the outer epidermis. Higher levels of RF energy increase the wound-healing response, further improving your results.
What is the Excel V laser?
The Excel V laser from Cutera is effective at treating a number of conditions on all skin tones. The Excel V combines a unique design and a longer laser wavelength to safely and effectively treat a broad range of issues with blood vessels, everything from spider veins to deep blue reticular veins. The laser energy also is excellent for benign pigmented lesions and sun-damaged areas of the skin.
What is IPL?
Intense pulsed light (IPL) therapy, aka photofacial, is a way to improve the color and texture of your skin without surgery. IPL uses light energy to target accurately and remove pigmented or damaged skin cells or hair follicles. It can undo some of the visible damage caused by sun exposure -- called photoaging. You may notice it mostly on your face, neck, hands, or chest. Our IPL can help improve overall complexion by targeting and correcting red, brown, and splotchy skin.
What to expect during recovery?
This isn’t any recovery where the patient needs to stay in bed or
miss work or something like that. Following these procedures, the
skin is usually red; it’s as if the patient has a mild sunburn. This can
last anywhere from a few hours to a few days depending on the
strength of the laser chosen for treatment. These are easy-to-
tolerate treatments whose results build as the body increases
collagen production as a response to the laser energy
One thing that is true with any of these procedures is that your skin needs to be protected from sun exposure for a period of at least two weeks afterward. This is because the laser or IPL energy can break down some of the skin’s natural protection against the sun’s UV radiation. Applying 30+ SPF sunscreen or wearing protective clothing is necessary for a couple of weeks.

Patient Testimonial
"I am so thrilled with the work I’ve received at Power MD! Each experience I’ve had has been pleasant from beginning to end, and I have been more than satisfied with my results. I recently relocated across the state, but I still only trust Power MD with my face. It’s been difficult for me to find a MedSpa that I can consistently rely on for natural results, and I’m so grateful to have found Dr. Karron and her team."
