While facials like our Hydrafacial or DiamondGlow facial offer medical-grade renewal and maintenance for your skin, they’re not always the right option for some skin concerns.
With a laser facial in St. Petersburg, we can reduce hyperpigmentation, uneven skin texture, and wrinkles far more effectively than creams or peels can. To learn more about our options for advanced rejuvenation at Hermann Aesthetics & Wellness, keep reading.
IPL & BBL
With intense pulsed light (IPL) therapy, or broadband light (BBL) therapy, we can fade dark spots, redness, and uneven skin texture that doesn’t respond to traditional skincare.
IPL works by targeting unwanted pigment and redness while leaving the rest of your skin untouched. While creams and peels can lighten hyperpigmented lesions a few shades, IPL and BBL therapy can lift very dark spots 75% or more in a single treatment.
Number of Sessions
We typically recommend a series of 3 treatments spaced a few weeks apart for the most advanced skin rejuvenation.
Downtime
IPL and BBL therapy have little-to-no downtime. You can return to your normal activities immediately after treatment.
Just make sure to follow the post-care instructions to promote optimal results and skin renewal.
Nd:YAG Laser
The Nd:YAG laser also targets redness and texture. However, we most often recommend it for clients with darker skin (Fitzpatrick levels IV to VI), whereas IPL and BBL work best for lighter skin tones (Fitzpatrick levels I to III).
Number of Sessions
Depending on your specific skin concerns and goals, we may recommend 1 to 2 treatment sessions booked 4 to 6 weeks apart.
Downtime
With minimal to moderate downtime, the Nd:YAG laser allows a quick return to activities. However, depending on your treatment, you may experience some redness and swelling. Continue to follow care instructions to protect your skin as it restores itself post-treatment.
CoolPeel
The CoolPeel CO2 laser uses cooling and fractional technology to provide advanced laser resurfacing without extensive downtime or discomfort. We often recommend this laser to clients looking to target wrinkles, fine lines, and crepey skin.
This treatment also stimulates collagen and elastin production for stronger, more flexible skin.
Number of Sessions
After just one session of CoolPeel, you can enjoy smoother, more even-toned skin. However, for advanced results, we suggest a series of 2 or 3 treatments spaced out over several weeks.
Downtime
Compared to traditional CO2 lasers, the CoolPeel has much less downtime—only a few days of redness or a “windburned” appearance.
