The Alexandrite Laser emits focused light energy via an alexandrite crystal. As the light passes through the alexandrite crystal, a beam of light 755 nm long is produced. This light selectively targets pigmented areas with light, causing them to break up and fade away. The Alexandrite Laser effectively treats pigmentation, brown spots and birthmarks.
Alexandrite Laser treatment is well tolerated. The procedure itself typically takes less than 15 minutes. Patients report a sensation of pinpoint heat and may feel similar to a sunburn for up to 30 minutes post procedure.
There is no real downtime associated with the Alexandrite Laser treatment. The treated areas will become dark and rough and may be sensitive for up to a week as they heal. In order to avoid unintended scarring, it is essential not to pick at scabbing or wash the area too vigorously. During this time, it is important to protect the area from sun exposure or other irritation.
Many patients are happy with one to two Alexandrite laser treatment for smaller brown spots. Larger pigmented areas may require a series of treatment. Once treated and healed, these spots typically do not return. Using sunscreen and wearing sun protective clothing will help prevent new pigmentation from forming.
Both our Physicians and PA-C team perform Alexandrite treatments in our office.

I don’t even know where to start! This place and these ladies! I travel four hours and I’m so thankful I found Dr. Cox! She is the best!! World wide. She’s taken 10 years off my skin ❤️ – W.H.
Practice aesthetics, logistical management of the appointment, expertise of the providers, expediency of the entire continuum of care were all outstanding. Garrett did a terrific and thorough job! Congratulations to Dr. Cox for having built such a Practice!! – Michael G.
I had my first laser treatment today at Aesthetic Solutions. Garrett was kind & gentle, & thoroughly explained the procedure during each step. I had the Alex laser on brown spots on my face followed by Fraxel laser over my entire face. She also used a 3rd procedure to remove some small broken capillaries. It will be several weeks before I can see the final result of the procedure, but I anticipate an excellent outcome. I have been going to Dr. Sue Ellen Cox for more than 10 years & wouldn’t trust anyone else for my care. – Wanda G.
