Smooth, Clear, and Confident: Advanced Treatments for Acne Scarring
If you’ve been struggling with the lasting effects of acne scarring, you’re far from alone. Acne scars are a common concern for both men and women and can be a frustrating reminder of past breakouts. They often form as part of the skin’s natural healing process, resulting in raised or indented areas, discoloration, and uneven texture. While the severity and type of scars vary, they can impact your confidence and how you feel about your skin.
The good news is that today’s advanced technologies offer highly effective, non-surgical solutions to reduce acne scars and restore a smoother, clearer complexion.
INFINI RF Microneedling
Infini is an innovative radiofrequency (RF) microneedling treatment that targets acne scarring at its source. Using ultra-fine, gold-coated needles, Infini delivers controlled RF energy deep into the skin to stimulate collagen and elastin production. This process remodels damaged tissue and lifts depressed (atrophic) scars from within, leading to smoother, firmer, and more refined skin over time.
Fraxel Repair and Fraxel Dual
Fraxel laser treatments are industry-leading solutions for resurfacing and rejuvenating the skin. By creating precise micro-injuries in targeted areas, Fraxel triggers the body’s natural healing response and boosts collagen renewal.
- Fraxel Repair uses fractional CO₂ laser energy to treat deeper scars, improving significant texture irregularities.
-
Fraxel Dual offers a gentler approach, ideal for more superficial acne scars and pigment irregularities.
Both options refine skin texture, even tone, and minimize visible scarring for a noticeably smoother complexion.
Dermal Fillers
For patients with indented or rolling scars, dermal fillers such as Juvéderm or Restylane can provide immediate improvement. By restoring lost volume beneath the surface, fillers help lift depressed scars and create a smoother, more even skin appearance. Results are visible right away and can last several months to a year, depending on the product used.
Personalized Acne Scar Treatment Plans
Every patient’s skin is unique — and so are their scars. During your consultation, I’ll assess your skin type, scar pattern, and goals to develop a customized treatment plan that may include one or a combination of these therapies. The goal is not only to reduce the appearance of scars but to restore your confidence and reveal healthy, radiant skin. Schedule your consultation today and take the first step toward smoother, more confident skin.
Smooth, Lift, and Define: Non-Surgical Solutions for Sagging Jowls
Sagging jowls are a common sign of aging, often caused by the gradual loss of collagen, elastin, and facial volume. While they can make the lower face appear tired or less defined, today’s advanced technologies offer powerful, non-surgical ways to restore a firmer, more youthful look.
At our practice, we offer several proven treatments designed to tighten, lift, and contour the jawline — all without surgery or downtime.
Thermage and Exilis Ultra 360
Both Thermage and Exilis Ultra 360 harness the power of radiofrequency energy to heat the deeper layers of the skin, stimulating new collagen and elastin production. This process improves skin elasticity and firmness, gradually tightening sagging jowls and redefining facial contours. Results develop over the following months and can last a year or longer, making these treatments ideal for those seeking natural, progressive improvement.
Fraxel Repair
For more advanced sagging or skin laxity, Fraxel Repair offers a fractional CO₂ laser solution that resurfaces and rejuvenates the skin from within. This treatment improves texture and firmness, helping to lift and smooth the lower face. Fraxel Repair delivers dramatic, long-lasting results with just one treatment session and continues to stimulate collagen remodeling long after your appointment.
Infini RF Microneedling
Infini combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy to tighten and lift sagging skin with precision. The micro-needles deliver heat energy deep into the dermis, triggering robust collagen production while leaving the surface layer intact. This dual-action approach effectively firms the jowls and sharpens the jawline — perfect for patients who want visible definition without downtime or surgery.
Rediscover Your Contours
With these innovative, non-invasive options, you can restore a lifted, sculpted, and confident appearance — no scalpel required.
The best approach for sagging jowls depends on your individual skin quality, degree of laxity, and aesthetic goals. During your consultation, I will design a personalized treatment plan to help you look refreshed, youthful, and naturally beautiful.
Brighten, Smooth, and Rejuvenate: Non-Surgical Solutions for Younger-Looking Eyes
They say your eyes are the windows to your soul — but they can also reveal something else: your age.
The delicate skin around the eyes is one of the very first areas to show signs of aging, often long before other parts of the face.
From fine lines and wrinkles to puffiness and drooping lids, these changes can make you look tired, stressed, or older than you feel. Fortunately, there are safe and effective non-surgical treatments that can help you reclaim a refreshed, youthful look — no surgery required.
Why the Eye Area Ages So Quickly
The skin around your eyes is extremely thin and fragile, with very little natural fat for cushioning and support. Over time, this area becomes even thinner and more vulnerable to visible aging.
Aging around the eyes is caused by a combination of factors:
-
Natural collagen loss: As we age, the collagen that keeps skin firm and smooth begins to break down, leading to sagging and wrinkles.
-
Repetitive facial movements: Squinting, laughing, and frowning create tiny creases that eventually turn into crow’s feet and fine lines.
-
External stressors: Sun exposure, environmental damage, and lifestyle factors accelerate the breakdown of collagen and elastin.
The result?
Common concerns like:
-
Crow’s feet and fine lines
-
Wrinkles beneath the eyes
-
Puffiness and under-eye bags
-
Dark circles and hollowness
-
Drooping eyelids or brows

Scars can be more than cosmetic—they can affect your confidence and how you feel each day. At East End Laser Care, we offer leading-edge nonsurgical treatments designed to diminish scar visibility and restore smoother, more radiant skin. Here are our top picks for scar treatment:
Fraxel DUAL & Fraxel Repair — Deep Renewal for Stubborn Scars
Fractured laser resurfacing with Fraxel Dual combines non-ablative and ablative laser wavelengths to target deep and surface-level skin issues. It’s remarkably effective for acne scars, surgical lines, sun damage, and uneven skin texture. If your scars are deeper, Fraxel Repair is a stronger, one-time option for dramatic resurfacing.
INFINI — Precision Collagen Remodeling
INFINI uses microneedling plus radiofrequency energy to rebuild collagen from within. This advanced approach smooths out surface and indented scars with minimal downtime—perfect for those who want real results without extensive recovery.
Clear + Brilliant — Gentle Renewal for Early Scars
For more superficial scars or early signs of texture irregularities, Clear + Brilliant offers a gentle but effective glow-up. It enhances tone and texture through repeated, subtle treatments—making your skin gradually smoother and more luminous.
IPL & Diolite — Fade Redness & Pigmentation
For scars with redness or pigment, IPL softens discoloration by targeting blood vessels or melanin, while Diolite laser hones in on pigmentation more precisely—camouflaging scars caused by acne or sun damage effectively.
Why These Treatments Excel
-
Tailored Precision: From deep to superficial, smooth to pigment-rich scars, there’s a treatment that fits your needs.
-
Collagen-Driven Improvement: Most options stimulate your own collagen production for long-lasting transformation.
-
Minimal Downtime, Maximum Results: Especially with Fraxel Dual, Clear + Brilliant, and INFINI, you’ll see smoother skin without the lengthy recovery associated with surgery.

Rejuvenate Your Appearance with a Renewal-Lift
As we age, it’s common to notice multiple changes in our facial appearance simultaneously. Loss of facial volume, looser skin, and the emergence of wrinkles and folds around the eyes, nose, and mouth can all contribute to a less youthful look. Addressing these diverse concerns often requires more than a one-size-fits-all solution.
The Renewal-Lift is a customized treatment plan that combines various non-invasive procedures to tackle the unique aging signs each individual faces. By integrating treatments like Botox, dermal fillers, and skin tightening or resurfacing techniques, the Renewal-Lift aims to restore a youthful and natural appearance without the need for surgery. Injectables such as Botox and fillers work to replenish lost volume and smooth out wrinkles, while advanced technologies like Fraxel Dual, Fraxel Repair, Thermage CPT, and Exilis Ultra 360 address skin texture and firmness.
Choosing the Renewal-Lift offers several advantages:
-
Non-Surgical Approach: Achieve significant facial rejuvenation without incisions or general anesthesia.
-
No Scarring: Enjoy the benefits of a facelift without the scars associated with traditional surgery.

-
Immediate and Long-Term Effects: Notice immediate enhancements with results that continue to improve over time.

Combatting “Ozempic Face”: How to Restore Your Glow
As more people turn to medications like Ozempic® to achieve significant weight loss, a new concern has emerged: “Ozempic face.” This term describes the facial volume loss and skin sagging that can occur after rapid or substantial weight loss, leaving some feeling less confident in their appearance. With a range of advanced, non-surgical treatments, we can rejuvenate your face, restore lost volume, and bring back that youthful glow. Here’s how:
Dermal Fillers: Instant Volume Restoration
Dermal fillers like Juvederm, Restylane, and Radiesse are designed to replenish lost volume and smooth wrinkles. These injectables work by filling in areas that appear sunken or hollow, such as the cheeks, temples, and under-eye regions. The result? A naturally refreshed and more youthful look, often achieved in a single session.
Liquid Facelift (Volumalift): A Non-Surgical Lift
For a comprehensive approach, the Liquid Facelift combines multiple dermal fillers and injectables to lift and contour the face. This treatment targets sagging skin and volume loss simultaneously, offering a rejuvenated appearance without the downtime of surgery. It’s perfect for those who want an overall refresh.
INFINI: Tighten and Tone
INFINI combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy to stimulate collagen production deep within the skin. This dual-action treatment tightens loose skin, improves texture, and reduces the appearance of fine lines. Over time, your skin becomes firmer and more radiant.
Thermage CPT: Collagen Remodeling for Tighter Skin
Thermage CPT uses radiofrequency technology to heat the deeper layers of the skin, prompting natural collagen remodeling. This process tightens sagging areas and smooths the skin’s surface, delivering noticeable results with zero downtime.
Fraxel Repair Laser: Resurface and Rejuvenate
Fraxel Repair is a fractional laser treatment that resurfaces the skin, improving tone, texture, and elasticity. By stimulating collagen production, it helps reduce wrinkles and restore a youthful vibrancy, making it an ideal choice for addressing the effects of weight loss on the face.
Why Addressing “Ozempic Face” Matters
Losing weight is a significant accomplishment, and you deserve to feel great in your own skin. While weight loss can lead to a healthier body, it’s common to notice changes in the face that might leave you feeling self-conscious. Our treatments are designed to restore balance, ensuring your appearance reflects the vibrant, confident person you are.
Don’t let “Ozempic face” overshadow your incredible weight-loss journey. Schedule a consultation today and discover how we can help you put your best face forward.
Restore the Sparkle in Your Eyes with Advanced Treatments
So much of your appearance—how youthful or tired, happy or sad, or refreshed or worn out—is influenced by your eyes. If you feel like the sparkle in your eyes has dimmed over time, you’re not alone—and the good news is, we can help.
The delicate skin around your eyes is among the thinnest on your body, making it highly susceptible to aging and environmental stress. With time, this area loses its natural volume and elasticity, leading to concerns such as:
- Dark circles.
- Bags or puffiness.
- Hollowing under the eyes.
- Drooping lids and brows.
- Fine lines and wrinkles like crow’s feet.
Additionally, the collagen network that provides structure and support to your skin naturally breaks down with age. Factors like sun exposure and repeated facial expressions—smiling, squinting, and frowning—accelerate the formation of lines and wrinkles.
What Can Help?
We offer a wide range of nonsurgical treatments designed to rejuvenate and refresh the eye area safely and effectively.
Restylane Eyelight: A Game-Changer for Tired Eyes
Restylane Eyelight is a revolutionary dermal filler specifically designed to address under-eye concerns. If you struggle with dark circles or hollowing under your eyes, this targeted treatment can:
- Restore lost volume for a more youthful appearance.
- Brighten the under-eye area, reducing the look of dark circles.
- Smooth contours for a natural, refreshed look.
- Deliver results with minimal downtime.
Dermal Fillers
In addition to Restylane Eyelight, other fillers like Belotero, Juvederm, and Restylane can address lines, wrinkles, and volume loss around the eyes. They effectively plump up crow’s feet, smooth fine lines, and restore a youthful appearance to hollow areas.
Neurotoxins
Botox, Dysport and Jeuveau are excellent options for minimizing dynamic wrinkles caused by facial expressions, such as crow’s feet. These injectables relax targeted muscles, creating smoother, more refreshed skin.
Laser Treatments
Advanced laser options, including Fraxel Repair, Fraxel DUAL, Laser Wrinkle Reduction, and Clear & Brilliant, can:
- Improve skin texture and tone.
- Smooth fine lines and wrinkles.
- Enhance luminosity for a radiant glow around your eyes.

Revitalize Your Skin with Fraxel Laser Treatments
When it comes to advanced laser skin rejuvenation, Fraxel is the gold standard. This cutting-edge procedure is designed to repair and renew your skin, effectively reversing signs of sun damage, aging, and environmental exposure. Fraxel lasers focus precisely on targeted areas, restoring your skin’s youthful radiance, texture, and tone with minimal downtime.
Choose Your Fraxel Experience: Fraxel DUAL or Fraxel Repair
Fraxel offers two specialized options to suit different skin needs and goals: Fraxel DUAL and Fraxel Repair. Let’s explore how each treatment can transform your skin.
Fraxel DUAL Laser: Versatile and No-Downtime
Ideal for a range of skin concerns, Fraxel DUAL delivers moderate-level treatment for pigmentation issues, uneven tone, fine lines, acne scars, and rough texture. This laser can treat areas both on and off the face, including the neck, chest, and hands. By stimulating your body’s natural healing process, Fraxel DUAL resurfaces and restores skin, improving tone and texture over time. You can resume your daily activities right after treatment, and multiple sessions may be recommended for best results.
Fraxel Repair: Deep Rejuvenation for Dramatic Results
For those seeking a more intensive solution, Fraxel Repair offers a high-impact treatment option. Using carbon dioxide (CO2) laser technology, Fraxel Repair penetrates deeply to address pronounced signs of aging, such as deeper wrinkles, stubborn lip lines, extensive sun damage, sagging skin, and acne or surgical scars. Fraxel Repair not only reduces wrinkles and discoloration but also tightens the skin by stimulating collagen production. Typically, only one session is needed, with results that are visibly transformative. While the recovery time is more substantial than with Fraxel DUAL, the outcome is a significantly smoother, more youthful-looking complexion.
Ready for Your Skin Transformation?
With either Fraxel treatment, you’ll enjoy smoother, younger-looking skin with enhanced radiance. Schedule a complimentary consultation to discuss your skin goals and determine which Fraxel option is best suited to your needs.
