Skin Pigmentation & Tightening
Total Skin Solution
Total Skin Solution is a partnership between our lasers, Lutronic Ultra and Lutronic Genius. Total Skin Solution works to contour the face and body, tighten the skin, improve acne scarring, and minimize lines and wrinkles.
What is Total Skin Solution?
Lutronic Genius uses Radiofrequency microneedling (collagen induction therapy) to treat against signs of aging in the deeper layers of the skin. These create a micro-injury to the skin to start the collagen renewal process for firm and rejuvenated skin.
Lutronic Ultra is a cutting-edge laser with low-downtime resurfacing the skin. Ultra comfortably delivers non-ablative laser energy to correct the early signs of sun damage and aging—no matter the season or skin type—for a brighter, clearer complexion.
These treatments are combined in a single session for a minimal pain and downtime experience.
What Happens During My Treatment?
Your provider may apply numbing cream prior to your treatment. At the beginning of treatment, you will be injected with lidocaine to numb all layers of the skin. Radiofrequency microneedling will then begin, you will feel your provider stretching the skin and the pressure of the device, but it will be painless.
Following Genius, you will receive the Lutronic Ultra treatment. The optimized controls allow us to tune the laser to a level of aggressiveness that matches the severity of your skin issues in order to provide a customized outcome for each individual client. Patients describe the Ultra treatment as a warm, tingling sensation, which may vary. Most patients describe the sensation as mild discomfort.
Total Skin Solution Results and Recovery
Immediately following the treatment, you will notice some redness and possible swelling, which will lessen over the next day or so. The following 5-6 days, your skin will have a dry sandpaper-like texture. This is normal and will resolve as your skin exfoliates, revealing fresher clearer skin.
NEW! Ellacor®: The Facelift Replacement
What is Ellacor®?
Ellacor® with micro-coring technology is the first and only device of its kind that removes skin on the microscale for a 90% improvement in the appearance of wrinkles. Ellacor® provides natural-looking results with a quick procedure and minimal downtime. Over 86% of patients are satisfied with their Ellacor® results!
How does Ellacor® work?
Ellacor® uses hollow needles to remove micro-cores of skin, resulting in an improved appearance of moderate and severe wrinkles without the evidence of scarring.
Benefits of an Ellacor® Procedure:
- Safe and quick procedure with minimal downtime
- In-office procedure performed under local anesthesia
- Visible, natural-looking results
- Diminishes the appearance of wrinkles by 90%
- Precisely removes excess skin from targeted areas
What to expect from an Ellacor® procedure?
On the day of your procedure, you will receive local anesthetic to the treated area to help you stay comfortable during the procedure. Once your skin is numb, Dr. Desjarlais will strategically place the Ellacor® device to your skin to create micro-cores in a precise grid pattern. Excess skin will be removed through hollow needles, but the micro-cores are so tiny that they will begin to heal almost immediately.

Lutronic Ultra Results and Recovery

If you struggle with rosacea, spider veins, or broken capillaries, DermaV™ Laser may be the treatment you’ve been looking for. The DermaV™ Laser is a novel laser treatment used to reduce the appearance of hyperpigmentation, redness, and sun damage on the face, neck, and chest. The DermaV™ laser gradually reduces redness and photodamage.
What Happens During My Treatment?
Dr. Desjarlais and our cosmetic team will work with you to develop a customized treatment plan. During the treatment, DermaV applies laser energy that is absorbed by your blood vessels and converted to heat, which contracts and eventually eliminates them. Using controlled heating, DermaV’s laser energy targets unwanted, visible pigment while protecting the top layers of your skin with patented cooling technology.
DermaV Results and Recovery
You may experience mild redness and puffiness immediately following the laser, but you should be able to return to normal activities right away.

BBL Ultra Results and Recovery
Immediately following the treatment, you will notice some redness which will lessen over the next day or so. The following 5/-6 days, your skin will have a dry sandpaper-like texture. This is normal and will resolve as your skin exfoliates, revealing fresher clearer skin.
You will be sensitive to ultraviolet light and you must avoid direct sun exposure until completely healed. Fully cover your skin or use a 30+ SPF (We recommend a mineral sunscreen).
Halo Hybrid Fractional Laser
Finally, get the results you want without the downtime you would expect. Sciton, an authority in aesthetic lasers has introduced the Halo Hybrid Fractional Laser and Dr. Desjarlais was one of the first doctors in the country to offer this revolutionary treatment.
What is the Halo?
The Halo is the world’s first hybrid fractional laser. It simultaneously delivers non-ablative and ablative wavelengths in a single pass over the skin.
An ablative laser has long been considered one of the most effective treatments for improving the signs of aging. By removing the outer layers of damaged skin, the skin is forced to heal, increase collagen production and restructure, making way for tighter, rejuvenated skin. The downfall of an ablative laser is the recovery and downtime needed, often 1-2 weeks.
A non-ablative laser treatment is far less invasive with little-to-no downtime. By heating up the outer layers of skin but not removing them, a non-ablative laser treatment is popular for patients who need to return to their everyday lives right after treatment. The downfall here is a series of several treatments are needed to achieve desired results with a non-ablative procedure.
The Halo Hybrid Fractional Laser focuses energy on the deeper collagen layer of skin leaving the surface of your skin largely intact for a quicker healing time. It delivers the results of an ablative procedure with little-to-no downtime, like a non-ablative treatment. The best of both worlds!
What Happens During My Treatment?
You can expect to be at the office for 2-2 ½ hours. The first hour is spent applying the numbing cream and allowing it to take effect. The treatment itself takes 30-45 minutes. In-office recovery time is 30 minutes where a mineral water mist dissipates the heat from your skin.
Halo Results and Recovery
Immediately after your Halo treatment, a restorative skin cream will be applied to the treated areas to keep the skin moist. Swelling and redness is common and expected after treatment. The area may also feel extremely warm for 12-24 hours post op. Cold compresses will help calm the warmth in your skin and help reduce swelling.
When leaving the office, you will look like you’ve been in the sun a bit too long, but you can resume your normal business day.
On the second or third day after treatment, you will begin to notice tiny dark spots and a bronzed appearance to the treated skin. This is part of the healing process where treated tissue is working its way out of your body as new fresh skin is regenerated. During this time, your skin will be very dry and have a sandpaper texture. It will begin to flake and peel. For the face, this can last 5-7 days. If the neck, chest or anywhere else on the body was treated, this process could take up to two weeks.
After the peeling process is complete, your skin will have a rosy, pink glow that will gradually resolve. Sunscreen is a MUST throughout the entire healing process. It should be applied daily beginning the day of treatment and used vigilantly for up to three months post procedure. A post op kit will be provided to you for cleansing and exfoliating the skin. Any post treatment discomfort may be relieved by over the counter oral pain relievers.
