Laser Resurfacing

Age, the environment, and genetic factors can bring on unwanted imperfections in the skin like rosacea, birthmarks, unwanted hair, brown and red hyperpigmentation, broken capillaries, and small veins. We use proven laser resurfacing techniques at our La Jolla, San Diego area center to help you erase these blemishes and give you the smooth even skin of your dreams.

IPL, or intense pulse light, is an excellent, non-invasive technique, which removes rosacea, broken capillaries, and hyperpigmentation on the face, neck, legs, and even hands. The laser source focuses on the pigmentation changes in the skin. An added benefit is that it tightens the collagen, resulting in a more youthful looking skin with improved texture. All this without any downtime! Our specially trained laser nurses perform IPL in a series of treatments over several months at SK Sanctuary.

CO2 laser resurfacing, performed at our San Diego area SK Clinic by Dr. Krant, is a surgical procedure that treats deeper lines and wrinkles along with more severe sun damage. The outer layers of the skin are removed very precisely and the new skin is resurfaced within three to seven days. Laser resurfacing produces excellent results, turning damaged skin into a smooth, healthy, youthful surface, and has even been found to prevent facial skin cancer.

To speed up the healing process from laser resurfacing at our La Jolla center, we administer oxygen treatments along with topical vitamins and minerals daily for five days. This speeds up the healing process, reduces excess reddening of the skin and makes this procedure comfortable, predictable, and safe. In as few as ten days, you will be able to apply make-up again!

ALA Photodynamic Therapy

ALA Photodynamic therapy is a non-invasive, painless technique that treats acne and actinic keratosis with wonderful results. Research has shown that ALA is very successful in 80 percent of patients with acne and completely clears up actinic keratosis in nearly 70 percent of patients. This technique has also been found successful in the treatment of sun damage, rosacea, hyperpigmentation, and reducing fine wrinkles. In addition, the quality of the skin is improved by decreasing redness and creating smoother skin with smaller pores.

The therapy uses a topical, photosensitizing agent called ALA (5-aminolevulinic acid) that is activated by a specific wavelength of light. ALA Photodynamic therapy can treat the face, neck, chest, shoulder, back, arms, and hands. The number of treatments varies with each case, but several treatments are generally required and are spaced out three to four weeks at a time.
