Laser Treatments
At Plastic Surgery of the Carolinas, we are committed to offering the latest advances in both surgical and non-surgical cosmetic enhancement. Our state-of-the-art laser treatment options can help significantly improve the tone and texture of your skin while reducing lines and wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, acne scars, sun damage, vascular lesions, excessive hair, and various other aesthetic concerns you may have about your skin. As non-surgical procedures, these effective skin rejuvenation treatments often take less than an hour to complete and generally require little to no downtime or recovery. The laser treatments available at our practice include:
Clear + Brilliant® Touch
The Clear + Brilliant® Touch is a leading laser skin rejuvenation treatment that can address early signs of aging, sun damage, irregular pigmentation, melasma, large pores, and uneven skin tone and texture while boosting collagen production. It is the latest, more advanced laser treatment model from Clear + Brilliant®, and it offers two wavelengths by using the Original and Perméa handpieces for comprehensive skin rejuvenation.
The Medical Spa at the Plastic Surgery of the Carolinas is one of the select few offices to provide this innovative treatment option with the latest technology in town. We have package options available and oftentimes are recommended to achieve optimal results. We will be able to determine the number of Clear + Brilliant® Touch sessions needed and if other complementary treatments, like the application of medical-grade skincare products, is necessary.
The process only takes about an hour to complete, making it a quick and convenient option for your aesthetic needs. Some patients even schedule their appointments during the workday or lunch break! Little to no downtime is required, and many patients notice an immediate improvement in their skin after their initial treatment. Overall, the Clear + Brilliant® Touch can be an optimal solution for patients of all skin types and tones who desire a more youthful and refreshed appearance.
M22™ from Lumenis®
M22™ is an innovative, multi-application laser platform capable of treating more than 30 skin conditions and concerns. Developed by Lumenis® – an Israeli-based global leader in minimally invasive aesthetic solutions – M22™ can be outfitted with three different laser modules, enabling our team to employ the most effective option based on the specific issue(s) being targeted.
These three modules include:
Universal IPL
This Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) module uses photorejuvenation to treat vascular and pigmented lesions, unwanted hair, and several other indications on the face and body. With Optimal Pulse Technology (OPT™), the Universal IPL laser offers precise treatment with enhanced comfort and control.
MultiSpot™ Nd:YAG
This Nd:YAG module is the only laser procedure of its kind with multiple sequential pulsing, a component that increases the efficacy and safety of treatments by allowing targeted tissues to cool between pulses of light energy. The MultiSpot™ Nd:YAG laser can be excellent for the treatment of leg veins and vascular lesions.
ResurFX™
This skin resurfacing module utilizes fractional, non-ablative laser energy to help reduce uneven pigmentation, lines and wrinkles, age spots, sun damage, and skin laxity for a rejuvenated overall appearance. With the proprietary CoolScan™ scanner, the ResurFX™ laser treatment can be customized for enhanced safety and comfort throughout the procedure. Additionally, only one pass over the skin is generally needed for the technique to be effective, helping to reduce treatment time while optimizing skin protection.
Laser Hair Removal with M22™
In addition to providing state-of-the-art skin rejuvenation, the extremely versatile M22™ device is also celebrated for its ability to deliver safe and precise laser hair removal. Equipped with customizable settings and built-in cooling properties, the M22™ can dramatically reduce the appearance of unwanted hair on the face, back, arms, and elsewhere.

Lumenis® PiQo4
The Lumenis® PiQo4 is a groundbreaking resurfacing laser designed to shatter pigmentation in the skin, giving patients a highly effective treatment option to remove dark spots, tattoos, hyperpigmentation, acne scars, and sun damage, among other skin conditions. Using photoacoustic fractional energy, the Lumenis® PiQo4 can restore a bright, even skin tone while stimulating the production of new collagen for all-encompassing rejuvenation.
AviClear™
The innovative AviClear™ treatment can dramatically enhance the skin’s quality after only a few 30-minute sessions. A product of Cutera, AviClear™ is the first laser procedure that can address acne “at its source;” in other words, the treatment uses light energy to suppress the sebaceous glands’ production of sebum, which is the oily substance that can form on our skin to cause acne. Amazingly, this non-surgical procedure is capable of combating even severe acne and preventing future breakouts when the patient attends consistent AviClear™ sessions.
