Laser Skin Therapy & Rejuvenation in Birmingham, AL

The Tivoli Medical Spa and Laser Center offers the latest cutting-edge treatments in laser skin rejuvenation. Dr. Petro and our staff can administer laser treatments to improve the appearance of your skin in multiple ways. If your skin is sun damaged, wrinkled, discolored, or loose, one of these treatments may be right for you.

Pearl by Cutera

The Pearl laser can reduce wrinkles, uneven skin texture and sun damage with fewer treatments and a shorter recovery than other lasers, to provide a healthy, pearl-like glow.

During this brief laser treatment, the top layers of skin are treated with a pattern of light-pulses, sending heat to the deeper layers of skin to provide longer-term benefits. The Pearl treatment feels like a series of brief pinches. On a scale of 1-10, with 10 representing pain, most patients report the treatment feeling like a 2 or 3.

A natural, protective dressing will form on the skin. After a few days, the dressing will peel or slough off, revealing healthier, more vibrant skin. Ask Dr. Petro about applying makeup at this time.

The recovery is about 3 - 4 days of “social” downtime, meaning you can continue your normal daily activities, but you may not wish to attend social events because your face will appear slightly red or pink.

TITAN Skin Tightening

TITAN provides a natural option to enhance your skin tone. The device uses light energy to heat the dermis deep beneath your skin's surface, tightening the skin of the face, abdomen, arms and more.

Titan applies infrared light to evenly heat the dermis, while protecting the surface (epidermis) through continuous cooling with a special hand-piece. Patients of any skin type or age can be treated. Ask Dr. Petro if the Titan procedure is right for you.

Laser Genesis

Laser Genesis offers a new and advanced way to treat wrinkles, redness, large pores, uneven texture and other signs of premature aging and sun damage. With just a few treatments Laser Genesis can help you look younger and more refreshed – with no downtime.

The treatment works by gently heating the skin, stimulating collagen growth and shrinking swollen capillaries that cause discoloration. Subtle improvements are usually visible immediately, although we typically recommend 4 – 6 treatments for best results. Most patients report few or no side effects with Laser Genesis; the most common side effect is a slight redness that fades within a few hours.

Matrix CO2 Fractional Laser

Cosmetic surgeons have been using the carbon dioxide “CO2 laser” for years. The device applies an invisible beam of light that is absorbed by water in the skin. Applying a focused beam, your surgeon can simultaneously cut tissue and seal blood vessels. Or she can apply it de-focused to vaporize the tissue. These abilities make CO2 laser treatment ideal for removing many types of skin growths and imperfections. The CO2 laser can also make the skin tighter and smoother, while reducing wrinkles and discoloration.

With fractional technology, the Matrix CO2 laser offers a quicker recovery time than other laser devices. Fractional means the energy is applied in a fractionated pattern, with tiny columns of laser energy applied to the skin. Because only small sections of the skin are resurfaced, you are able to heal faster.
