Laser Skin Resurfacing
In Dublin, Ohio
Younger skin creates an abundance of collagen, this is the protein responsible for maintaining the firmness and youthfulness of skin. But as the skin ages, many factors, such as sun exposure, and pollution can cause the collagen to break down faster than it can be replenished.
Overtime, this results in a collagen deficiency, causing the skin to lose its smoothness and form skin discolorations, wrinkles, and deep lines. That’s why we offer the Tetra, the most advanced laser for skin resurfacing at Reclaim Medical Aesthetics and Wellness in Dublin, Ohio. This treatment stimulates the skin, encouraging it to build up its collagen reserves, resulting in more youthful looking skin.

These treatments can vary in depth depending on the client’s aesthetic goals. Our favorite treatment is the CoolPeel which is a shallow treatment targeting sunspots (can we have a link to a blog on sunspots) and fine lines—as well as refreshing tired-looking skin. Our Tetra laser can also address bigger concerns and treat beneath the dermal layer focusing on crow’s feet and deep wrinkles to improve the overall tone and texture of the skin.
At Reclaim Medical Aesthetics and Wellness, our providers know that everyone’s skin is different and has varying tolerances for heat, cold, and friction.

We suggest treating the neck and chest just like you would your face, but you can generally get by with treating that area a little less often. A good rule of thumb? Purchase a three pack of sessions like most patients do, at one of those sessions opt to do not only your face, but treat your face, neck, chest, and hands. You will be happy you did.
Yes. A thorough consultation is necessary so our provider can learn about your skin, your skin needs, address and answer any questions or concerns you may have. Your consultation fee of $100 will be put towards your purchased package.

Laser SKIN RESURFACING
If you’re one of many people who are bothered by their uneven skin texture—be it scars, wrinkles, enlarged pores, or stretch marks—the solution is easier than you’d think. It’s time to take the first step toward celebrating your skin.
Your CoolPeel treatment will deliver a fractional ablative treatment with minimal social downtime. You should expect to have red skin as if you have had a mild sunburn for a couple of days. Your skin may feel dry and rough as it heals, so it is important to keep it hydrated. Proper pre and post-care is an important part of the treatment and will help to ensure the best possible results.
