1540 Fractional Resurfacing

The laser creates controlled micro-injuries that stimulate the remodeling of collagen fibers and the support structure beneath the skin, leading to improved firmness and texture.

1540 Fractional Resurfacing by SkinMD

Do sun damage, fine lines, stretch marks, acne, or surgical scars bother you?  If so, you are not alone. They may not seem like much to friends and family, but if you are bothered by these less-than-ideal aesthetic conditions, we are here to help. At SkinMD, we have 1540 fractional resurfacing to aid in reducing the appearance of many skin imperfections.

Our 1540 is considered best-in-class for fractional resurfacing and boasts a variety of attachments that will allow your SkinMD provider to treat non-ablatively or ablatively under the supervision of our medical director. The device also features a live melanin reader, which measures skin melanin levels in real time to ensure safe and effective treatment for all skin types.

What are the benefits of 1540 Fractional Resurfacing?

Refreshing the appearance of your skin has never been easier. 1540 fractional resurfacing will stimulate new collagen and elastin production, which will help to plump your facial skin, minimize facial wrinkles, and improve skin laxity. In addition, this treatment provides noticeable skin tightening for a firmer, more youthful appearance. 

Since the SkinMD 1540 laser device is the best-in-class fractional non-ablative laser, SkinMD providers are able to treat deeper, which will promote a more significant result!  This translates into longer-lasting results that are more effective. Combined with almost no downtime, SkinMD patients are looking and feeling better…and loving what they see in the mirror.

The 1540 laser can address and reduce the appearance of dull, lifeless skin and:

• Wrinkles
• Large Pores
• Uneven Texture
• Scarring (including Acne Scars!)
• Stretch Marks
• Sagging Skin

How many Icon™ Treatments Do I Need?

This is a common question we are asked at SkinMD. The first answer we often give is ‘It depends’. It depends on your specific situation and the severity of your problems. The second differentiator is what YOUR skin needs! During your consultation, we will assess your skin and create a custom aesthetic care plan based on your needs. 

If the 1540 laser resurfacing treatment is the best path for you, we typically begin with a series of 3-5 treatments, with 4 to 6 weeks between treatments. 

SkinMD’s unique stackable synergistic approach to laser resurfacing includes DiamondGlow Facial treatments between each laser appointment.  This enhances and accelerates the resurfacing process of your skin giving you optimal results. 

Although many SkinMD patients who receive 1540 resurfacing treatments see a positive change within days, optimal results usually occur after 2 to 3 months. Allowing time for complete healing and for your body to produce new collagen and elastin is imperative to reap the full rewards of this game-changing procedure. 

How Does 1540 Fractional Resurfacing Help with Skin Rejuvenation?

The 1540 laser delivers targeted energy that stimulates the production of collagen and elastin deep within your skin. Your wrinkle depth and severity of your folds are also minimized, improving the tone and texture of your skin as well as resurface dull, damaged skin to a more vibrant appearance.

What About Stretch Marks, Acne Scars, and Other Imperfections I Want to Treat?

The 1540 laser can address both superficial issues like fine lines and wrinkles, and surface textural issues in the skin like scars, surgical scars, acne scar,s and stretch marks. 

Our 1540 fractional laser provides resurfacing to stimulate collagen and elastin production and will encourage your skin to be smoother and firmer while reducing (or eliminating) fine lines. The use of fractional non-ablative laser light breaks down scar tissue in surgical scars, acne scars, and stretch marks, triggering the production of new tissue that literally fills in the scars or imperfections by stimulating new tissue growth. This makes the 1540 fractional laser an effective scar treatment option, helping to blend scars with surrounding healthy skin for a smoother appearance. 

Because of the versatility of the 1540 laser, in conjunction with the DiamondGlow stackable approach, we can safely offer remarkable results on any skin type, including very dark and very light skin.

Skin MD has a beautiful atmosphere, friendly staff, affordable pricing, and any treatment your skin needs. I received the Venus Legacy treatment (a collagen-boosting treatment) from Shannon and had a wonderful experience. Not only was it like a warm massage for my face, but this treatment gave IMMEDIATE plumping, increased blood circulation, and made my skin glow! I will definitely be coming back for all my skin needs and medical-grade skin care. I recommend it to everyone!

Friendly, fast, and professional service at the highest quality. Really impressed with the results of their services, and my technician is very knowledgeable and helpful when I have any questions.
