Laser Treatments In Portland For Youthful Looking Skin

In general, laser treatments for aesthetic medicine use a highly focused beam of light to transfer energy to structures in the skin. Laser radiation is created by passing a focused stream of light between mirrors separated by a "lasing medium" such as a gas or crystal. The specific properties of lasers – the depth of skin penetrated and the amount of energy transferred – depend on how the energy is generated. If it sounds complicated, it is! It's definitely not a procedure that you'll want to try at home. Don't worry – all you need to know is that there are different lasers suited to different treatment needs and that Dr. Key has one that can help you.

Serving the Pacific Northwest, the Key Laser Institute for Aesthetic Medicine in Portland, Oregon is on the forefront on the West Coast in the use of noninvasive lasers, light and energy to reverse the signs of aging and to restore the health, appearance and overall well being of your skin.

What Makes the Cool Touch® Laser Treatment Different?

It used to be that during a Cool Touch® laser treatment, a cryogenic mist was sprayed onto the skin with each pulse of energy as a means to both protect the skin and minimize discomfort. Dr. Key's recent research, though, led to an alternative – and revolutionary – method of treatment in which the Cool Touch® laser is used for skin tightening. Dr. Key's treatment process omits cryogen cooling and has resulted in not only greater patient satisfaction with the effectiveness of their treatments, but was rated as good or better in terms of comfort!

The laser energy released by Cool Touch® triggers new collagen growth, improving both skin tone and texture. It has proven especially successful in the treatment of Acne Scars and fine lines and deeper wrinkles. Cool Touch® can reduce the signs of aging on the face, neck and chest, resulting in Skin Lifting & Tightening – Without Surgery.

Approved for all skin types, this no downtime, non-invasive procedure takes about 30 minutes, depending upon the area to be treated. You might experience a slight blush that fades within several hours. Typically, a series of 4 to 6 treatments is recommended, with maintenance procedures at longer intervals after the initial series.
