At DeLozier Plastic Surgery, we understand the value of self-confidence. It can help you land a big promotion, stand out at an important event, and feel your best throughout your daily life. This is why we offer procedures that can get to the root of your insecurities and enhance your best features.
Skin damage is common with age, but with the right treatment, that damage doesn’t have to be permanent. Our experts offer a number of laser skin resurfacing treatments, and while they can all help you repair your skin, we can work with you to find the right procedure for your needs.
With so many effective laser treatments available, it can be difficult to decide where to begin. If you’re interested in laser skin resurfacing in Brentwood, read on to learn more about the specific benefits of each of our treatments.
What is Skin Resurfacing?
Let’s establish a stronger base of knowledge before we discuss the specifics of our laser skin resurfacing treatments. If you’ve never received a skin resurfacing treatment before, the idea behind the treatment process is in the name—these treatments use specialized aesthetic technology to remedy (or even remove) the damage within the outermost layers of the skin.
When we go outside, we expose our skin to the elements, like harsh wind and direct sunlight, which may lead to a number of aesthetic conditions. But if you want to treat your blemishes for smoother, fresher skin, consider meeting with our team for a laser skin resurfacing treatment. Now, let’s take a look at our available skin resurfacing options.
Our Skin Resurfacing Treatment Options
Everyone’s needs are different, and an important part of our process is curating specific recommendations to address those needs. If you’re considering a laser resurfacing treatment with our team, read an overview of the various options available at our practice below.
MOXI
MOXI is the first option we offer for laser skin resurfacing in Brentwood, TN. This device is a non-ablative, fractional CO2 laser, which is much more gentle than other laser treatments. Whether you’re looking for a touchup or a series of skin rejuvenation treatments, the MOXI laser can offer you the results you need without extensive downtime.
BBL
The next option we offer for patients looking to resurface damaged skin is the BBL photofacial.
It’s important to note that BBL isn’t technically a laser skin resurfacing treatment, as it actually uses specialized wavelengths of broadband light to treat aesthetic concerns. But regardless of its methods, the BBL treatment can still provide significant relief from skin damage.
Pure Plasma
The Pure Plasma procedure is another effective choice for treating a variety of skin conditions. This treatment uses plasma energy to address concerns beneath the surface of the skin. While some laser treatments focus on the conditions on the outermost layer of the skin, Pure Plasma goes deeper for heightened aesthetic results.
MiXto
We also offer the MiXto for laser skin resurfacing in Brentwood, TN. Like the MOXI treatment, the MiXto uses CO2 to eliminate skin concerns. The MiXto targets blemishes on the epidermis, so if you have surface-level damage that leaves you feeling self-conscious, then we may recommend treatment with this laser.
Helios Laser
The last option we’ll discuss for laser skin resurfacing at DeLozier Plastic Surgery is the Helios Laser. This treatment uses J-Plasma technology that can eliminate a number of concerns for tighter skin and a more uniform appearance.
How Our Treatments Work
Many of our laser skin resurfacing treatments use different methods to provide the results you need.
Carbon Dioxide Lasers
MOXI, MiXto
When people think of a laser skin resurfacing treatment, they likely picture a CO2 laser. This laser can strip away thin layers of skin to eliminate blemishes and leave behind a smoother, rejuvenated appearance. One of the advantages of working with a CO2 laser for skin resurfacing is they minimize the risk of burning or damaging the skin surrounding the treatment area.
Broadband Light
BBL
Another effective method for treating damaged skin is broadband light (BBL). The BBL procedure uses high-intensity light to provide results; the damaged skin absorbs the broadband light, minimizing the prominence of blemishes and discoloration. Unlike a CO2 laser, a BBL treatment doesn’t actually remove any skin.
Plasma
Pure Plasma, Helios Laser
The Pure Plasma and Helios Laser treatments both use plasma technology to provide results. As the plasma stimulates the skin, it triggers the body’s natural healing process, sending collagen to the treatment area for a renewed, fresher look. Collagen is a protein instrumental in the construction of new skin following an injury, and plasma manually kickstarts this process to treat damage.
What Our Different Resurfacing Procedures Treat
With so many different options to choose from, we can treat a wide variety of skin conditions at DeLozier Plastic Surgery. We may recommend laser skin resurfacing in in Brentwood if you want to address such conditions as:
- Pigment
- Redness
- Sun damage
- Uneven texture
- Melasma
- Scars
- Wrinkles
- And more
While some of our skin resurfacing treatments can handle a variety of the above conditions, one may be more effective than the others when it comes to addressing a specific aesthetic concern. If you’re unsure which of our laser skin resurfacing options is right for you, not to worry—our team of experts can help you find the right treatment for your goals.
Where They Treat
Some of these treatments also may be more effective at treating a specific area of the skin than another. For instance, we may recommend the MiXto if you’re looking to treat the full face as a whole, but Pure Plasma doesn’t treat as deeply, so we may recommend it for more sensitive skin, like the upper eyelids.
Recovering After Resurfacing
The recovery times of our options for laser skin resurfacing in Brentwood, TN will vary from person to person and treatment to treatment.
Generally, MOXI is the treatment that requires the least amount of downtime—you should only need about 2 to 3 days to recover after a MOXI laser session. On the other end of the spectrum is the Helios plasma treatment. You may experience anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks of downtime, depending on the quality of your skin.
Following a laser skin resurfacing treatment, whether you’re recovering for 2 days or 14, you should be sure to avoid any direct sunlight.
We also recommend drinking as much water as possible. You can stay active during this period through low-intensity methods, like a leisurely walk. We don’t, however, recommend exercising, as sweat can impact your healing process. The same goes for makeup, so as you’re healing, avoid any concealers, blush, or bronzers. Lotion can also affect the treatment area.
Always be sure to listen to your provider’s advice. Following your treatment, we will provide you with detailed recommendations based on your specific treatment and skin condition.
What These Treatments Have in Common
From a technical standpoint, you can see there are many differences between our treatments for laser skin resurfacing in Brentwood, TN, but they are similar in one notable way—they offer lasting results. When you receive a laser skin resurfacing treatment at DeLozier Plastic Surgery, you can expect your results to last for several months to a year or more.
If you experience additional concerns or skin damage in the future, don’t hesitate to reach out to your provider for advice or an additional treatment. At DeLozier Plastic Surgery, we don’t just treat our patients; we build relationships with them. If you ever have any questions or need advice following your treatment, let us know.

Another similarity between our laser skin resurfacing treatments is the cost. No matter which laser skin resurfacing treatment you choose, the cost will remain more or less the same.
