Collimated laser wavelengths coagulate vascular inflammation and remodel dermal collagen.
We operate the Aerolase Neo 650-microsecond 1064nm Nd:YAG, Sciton BBL Hero, Halo hybrid fractional, and Moxi 1927nm systems at 130 North Tryon St. Face and neck sessions range from $385 to $1,880 USD with exact pulse parameters and no sales tiers.
Laser pricing depends on chosen wavelength, pass counts, and anatomical coverage.
A targeted Aerolase 1064nm acne or redness session costs $385 to $650. Comprehensive dual-wavelength Sciton Halo hybrid resurfacing covering the face and neck requires dual passes, numbing cream occlusion, and thermal scanning, priced between $950 and $1,880.
| Laser Protocol | Wavelength & Fluence Range | Clinical Duration | Confirmed Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Aerolase Neo 1064nm (Acne/Redness) | 1064nm Nd:YAG • 650-microsecond • 21–36 J/cm² | 45 min | $385 – $650 USD |
| Sciton BBL Hero Photofacial | BroadBand Light • 515–695nm cut-off filters | 45–60 min | $450 – $850 USD |
| Sciton Moxi 1927nm Fractionated | 1927nm non-ablative diode • 5–20 mJ/pulse | 45 min | $450 – $750 USD |
| Sciton Halo Hybrid Fractional | Dual 1470nm non-ablative + 2940nm Erbium ablative | 60–80 min | $950 – $1,880 USD |
"The Aerolase 650-microsecond pulse duration is uniquely shorter than the thermal relaxation time of skin tissue. This allows us to deliver high energy straight to the microvasculature and sebaceous glands without heating epidermal melanin. That makes it completely safe for Fitzpatrick skin types IV through VI without risk of hyperpigmentation."— Casey Finch, LE/LI, Laser Specialist certified in North Carolina since 2019
Certified laser safety and calibration by Casey Finch LE/LI.
Laser therapy requires rigorous calibration, certified eye protection, and precise energy calculation. Casey Finch has performed clinical laser procedures in Charlotte since 2019, maintaining current laser safety certifications and ASCP membership.

Every laser session begins with stainless steel blackout corneal shields or wavelength-specific optical density (OD 7+) goggles for the patient and clinician. Our laser suite operates behind interlocked safety doors that eliminate accidental ocular exposure.
Prior to delivering laser pulses, we map sub-surface telangiectasia and erythema using cross-polarized diagnostic imaging. This ensures pulses are delivered directly to the feeding vessels rather than guessing through surface makeup or flushed tissue.
The clinical laser workflow from grid mapping to chilling.
We follow strict four-stage energy delivery. No laser handpiece touches your skin without parameter verification and test pulsing.
We verify skin phototype, recent sun exposure, and confirm you have paused all retinoids and photosensitizing antibiotics (e.g. doxycycline). Skin is stripped of sebum and makeup to prevent surface sparking.
For deep fractional procedures (Halo), a compounded 23% lidocaine / 7% tetracaine cream is applied under occlusion for 30 minutes. Aerolase 1064nm requires no numbing cream because the 650-microsecond pulse passes faster than pain nerve receptors can fire.
Casey Finch delivers measured passes across the anatomical quadrants. Energy fluence (J/cm²), spot size, and repetition rate are monitored on hardware telemetry screens while integrated sapphire contact cooling maintains surface epidermis safety.
Cold cryo-rollers or cooling biocellulose masks absorb residual heat from the reticular dermis. We apply topical copper peptides, pure lipid ceramides, and physical zinc oxide SPF 50+. We explain your post-treatment care instructions in detail.
Absolute clinical contraindications for laser resurfacing.
Laser energy reacts with chromophores in the body. If certain systemic drugs or conditions are present, laser therapy is unsafe and will be declined.
If you are currently taking oral antibiotics like doxycycline, minocycline, or ciprofloxacin, or topicals that increase light sensitivity, laser therapy is cancelled. Photosensitization leads to blister formation and severe burning under laser light.
A fresh natural tan increases epidermal melanin competing for laser energy, risking hypopigmentation. Spray tans contain dihydroxyacetone (DHA), which absorbs laser energy at the surface and causes instant thermal burns.
Clients with a documented clinical history of hypertrophic or keloidal scarring cannot receive ablative fractional resurfacing (Halo). We redirect to gentle, non-ablative Aerolase 1064nm protocols that avoid thermal dermal trauma.
