Healthy, attractive skin is a big part of looking and feeling your best. But our Texas climate can make you especially vulnerable to the sun damage that causes wrinkles, lines, and age spots. Laser skin resurfacing at our Fort Worth med spa reverses these signs of aging with little downtime and minimal discomfort.
If you’re looking for laser skin resurfacing in the Fort Worth, TX, area (Arlington, Plano, Abilene, Mansfield, etc.), request a consultation to meet with Dr. Camp and the Bowtie Babes using the online form or call us at (817) 228-4315 to schedule an appointment.
Laser treatments target the skin with rapid, concentrated pulses of light beams that create controlled wounds to the tissue. Ablative laser skin resurfacing vaporizes the thin, outer layers of the skin. Non-ablative treatments penetrate without damaging the skin’s surface, heating the underlying layer. In both cases, the body’s natural healing response creates new collagen and elastin, and smoother, more youthful-looking skin gradually emerges as the results continue improving over time.
Dr. Steven Camp is an experienced laser skin resurfacing expert and Sciton Luminary who presents and speaks about laser skin resurfacing treatments on behalf of Sciton. Sciton is the manufacturer of the lasers we use at Camp Plastic Surgery & Aesthetics: HALO®, MOXI®, Contour TRL™, MicroLaserPeel®, NanoLaserPeel®, BBL® HERO®, and BBL.
In addition to Dr. Camp, our highly skilled team has extensive training and education in laser skin treatments. They are Sciton presenters and provide training for other medical aesthetic professionals on Sciton’s behalf.

Unlike any other laser, HALO is a breakthrough skin resurfacing treatment that our providers customize to produce the desired results with more or less downtime, depending on the patient’s lifestyle. HALO is the first hybrid fractional laser (HFL) that delivers both ablative and non-ablative wavelengths to the same microscopic treatment area. This means that you don’t have to choose between great results and minimal downtime. That’s what being a #Happy Camper is all about.
Women and men of all skin types can benefit from HALO treatments, which can target the neck, chest, and hands, in addition to the face. By combining the more invasive ablative wavelength, which removes the skin’s outer layers, with the non-ablative wavelength, HALO addresses multiple skin concerns in a single treatment. HALO is great for men and women of all ages concerned about:
MOXI is a mild laser treatment designed to help treat early signs of aging and sun damage on the face, neck, and chest to help keep your skin looking healthy and fresh for as long as possible. MOXI can also be used to maintain and prolong the results of other laser treatments. MOXI treatments only take about 10 minutes and involve minimal discomfort. This gentle laser treatment requires no downtime, and recovery is quick for most patients.
MOXI is safe for women and men of all ages who want to prevent further damage to their skin and have minor skin concerns such as:
We use this laser for deep skin resurfacing to treat a range of skin conditions, customizing each procedure depending on the patient’s specific concerns, the desired results, and the amount of downtime expected. By adjusting the intensity of the laser treatment, we safely remove a layer of skin to a depth that Dr. Camp determines will provide the desired outcome. A laser skin peel such as Contour TRL stimulates new collagen growth, improving the thickness and resilience of your skin. The fresh, healthy skin cells that emerge after the treatment also give the skin a more youthful and rejuvenated appearance.
Contour TRL is a more intense treatment for the face and body. Depending on the severity of the skin damage, recovery time can vary from one day to several days to fully recover. Candidates are men and women of all ages with:
This treatment is less invasive than the Contour TRL resurfacing treatment but can be combined with other treatments that enhance collagen production. We can use a MicroLaserPeel for the face, neck, chest, and hands and combine it with Forever Young BBL for enhanced results.
This laser peel works to remove the outer layers of skin, revealing fresh, healthier skin and stimulating collagen as you heal. It’s a great option for women and men with:
Some patients can benefit from a laser treatment that removes just the skin’s upper layer, refreshing your appearance with very limited downtime. Both the NanoLaserPeel and MicroLaserPeel involve a laser precisely removing damaged skin. But the NanoLaserPeel is less intense and can be compared to a light to moderate chemical peel. We love to combine it with HydraFacial and use it as a maintenance treatment.
Full results are often visible within 2-3 days after treatment. Candidates are men and women with minor skin conditions, including:
- Superficial blemishes
- Discoloration
- Dull skin
- Fine lines

One of the most exciting recent advancements in cosmetic medicine is the use of exosomes to enhance results and promote optimal healing. In our practice, we use the EXO|E Skin Revitalization Complex, which derives from plant cell technology.
When used with nonsurgical treatments such as laser skin rejuvenation, chemical peels, microneedling, and more, exosomes can speed up healing and enhance results, boosting improvements in skin tone, texture, and firmness.
Exosomes are tiny extracellular vesicles that naturally occur in our bodies. They are released by cells and contain a variety of biological molecules, including proteins, lipids, and RNA. Researchers have recently discovered that exosomes have a wide range of therapeutic properties.
Exosomes can enhance a variety of cosmetic procedures, including nonsurgical skin treatments and plastic surgeries.
The timing of exosome administration may vary based on the specific procedure and treatment plan. Exosomes may be administered before the procedure to help prepare the skin and enhance results. In other cases, they may be administered after the procedure to promote healing and reduce inflammation.
The benefits of exosomes in cosmetic procedures include:

Preparing for your laser treatment is important. In the 2 weeks leading up to your appointment, you should avoid:
Additionally, avoid any topical products or medications that cause skin photosensitivity for 3 days before your treatment. Don’t worry if you’re not sure what products these might be; call our office, and we’ll personally instruct you before your treatment.
We start all patients on a skincare regimen recommended by our treatment team. This helps to optimize results. Applying a topical retinoid for 4 weeks before your treatment helps prepare your skin for laser treatments. Be sure to use sunscreen daily to help prevent sun damage and burns before treatment. As stated above, we will recommend the appropriate sunscreen as part of your skincare package.
Patients who have a history of fever blisters, shingles, or herpes and who are taking Valtrex must take it 3 days before treatment, on the day of treatment, and 3 days after treatment.
For best results, we recommend not smoking before treatment. This can interfere with the healing process and affect your results.

Patients often compare the sensation felt during laser treatments to a rubber band snapping against the skin. The sensation you experience will depend on the laser used, the treatment area, and the depth of the treatment. A topical numbing agent can be applied if desired to minimize discomfort. We also offer Pro-Nox, a 50/50 nitrous oxide-oxygen combination that you control to help relieve your pain and anxiety during treatments.
