Tell us what you see in the mirror. Paul Kraft, a laser specialist whose protocols manufacturers use to train surgeons and dermatologists, designs a plan that treats several concerns in one visit — for all skin types, all year.
Most patients start with a one-hour treatment with no downtime, and see the change before they leave. Every laser plan is designed alongside surgery and injectables, inside a board-certified plastic surgery practice — so you can put off surgery for as long as skin treatments can do the job.

Surgeon-founded. Specialist-led. Science-driven.
Every plan begins with what you see in the mirror. Pick the concern closest to yours — most patients have two or three, and one protocol usually addresses all of them.
Fine lines. Crepey texture. Vertical lip lines. Enlarged pores. The weathered look on the face, neck, chest, and hands.
How we correct it: Resurfacing — from a no-downtime nano-CO₂ treatment to a deeper fractional treatment that removes damaged skin and rebuilds collagen underneath.
Downtime: none to 7 days, depending on depth.
Laser skin resurfacing →
Jowls. A softening jawline. Neck laxity. Heavy upper lids and crepey lower lids. Loose skin on the arms, abdomen, and thighs after weight loss or pregnancy.
How we correct it: Tightening — radiofrequency and deep-heating wavelengths that contract the collagen you have and build new. Eyelid tightening and resurfacing without surgery is a specialty here.
Downtime: usually none.
Skin tightening and laxity correction →
Sun spots. Age spots. Melasma. Pigmented lesions and birthmarks. The blotchy tone that makes skin look older than it is.
How we correct it: Pigment correction with wavelengths matched to your skin type — including melasma and darker skin tones.
Downtime: minimal.
Pigment correction and melasma →
Persistent flushing. Broken capillaries on the nose and cheeks. Red scars. Vascular lesions.
How we correct it: Vascular treatment that targets the vessel and leaves the surrounding skin alone.
Downtime: minimal.
Rosacea and vascular treatment →
Acne scarring. Surgical scars, including after your own procedure with Dr. Snider. Stretch marks. Burns and trauma.
How we correct it: Scar revision that remodels the scar from within — in some cases using the laser to deliver regenerative treatments directly into the tissue.
Downtime: none to 7 days.
Scar revision →
Fullness under the chin. The lower abdomen that diet didn’t move. Thighs, flanks, arms.
How we correct it: Non-surgical fat reduction and muscle toning — or, when there is more to remove, liposuction with Dr. Snider, followed by skin tightening so the result holds.
Downtime: none.
Non-surgical body contouring →
No single problem — just skin that looks duller, recovers more slowly, and seems older than you feel.
How we correct it: Regenerative Maintenance — the quarterly protocol below. Most of our patients start here.
Downtime: none.
Regenerative Maintenance →
Shaving, waxing, plucking — upkeep that never ends. Face, body, bikini. Ingrown hairs and razor irritation.
How we correct it: Laser hair removal with wavelengths matched to your skin tone — all skin types, including darker skin. Hair reduces over a series of quick, comfortable sessions, and the results are long-lasting.
Downtime: minimal — back to your day immediately.
Laser hair removal →Regenerative Maintenance
Regenerative Maintenance is the treatment most patients start with, and the one they continue with.
One hour. Painless, with no numbing. No downtime. Each session stimulates new collagen and elastin production, and results build from one treatment to the next. Four sessions a year keep the skin improving.
What it won’t do: lift a jowl that has fallen, or remove skin that has stretched past recovery. That is what tightening, the Trifecta, and Dr. Snider are for.
What it costs: $950 per session. Four sessions — a year of quarterly treatment — is $2,950, $850 less than paying per session. You can start with a single session.
Start With a Mapping Consultation
One hour, no downtime, quarterly. The entry point for most patients, and the first step in every plan.
Regenerative Maintenance with tightening or a nano-CO₂ treatment layered in.
Several concerns in one visit, with lighter downtime.
Five, six, or seven devices in one protocol under sedation or general anesthesia in our private surgical suite: resurfacing, tightening, pigment, and scars, with one recovery. It can be combined with fat grafting or surgery with Dr. Snider in the same session.
The laser opens channels so Sculptra or PDGF reaches the tissue directly, without injection.
A regenerative add-on for faster healing and rejuvenation, available with any treatment.
The Laser Center has roughly 35 devices, and they’re used in combination. That changes three things about your treatment.
Several concerns, one visit. Wavelengths are combined so lines, pigment, and laxity are treated together, with one recovery. The Trifecta takes this the furthest: five, six, or seven devices in a single protocol.
Planned by skin type, not by season. The device and the settings are chosen for your skin — including tanned and darker skin — year-round.
Sequenced so each session builds on the last. Skin function is restored first, so every correction after it is done on skin that is already responding.
Every protocol is developed by Paul Kraft and delivered by him or by a laser provider he has trained.
You want steady improvement with no downtime. Regenerative Maintenance, quarterly. When you want more, Platinum Maintenance layers in tightening or a nano-CO₂ treatment.
From $950 per session.
You have specific things to fix and can take a few days. A resurfacing or tightening series. Scar revision. Or a Modified Trifecta — several concerns in one visit, with lighter downtime.
Quoted at consultation.
You want the most change a single procedure can make. The Trifecta, under sedation or general anesthesia — one protocol, one recovery. Or surgery with Dr. Snider, on skin that has been prepared to hold it.
Trifecta from $5,000 to $10,000 per procedure.
You don’t have to know which one you are. You’ll leave the consultation knowing.
A 45-minute consultation built on real anatomy — how skin ages, and how the fat, muscle, and bone beneath it change. You see before-and-afters of our own patients your age. You leave with three treatment paths and a price range for each — not a single quote, and no quote at all until we’ve seen your skin.
Before anything is corrected, skin function is restored. Regenerative Maintenance restarts collagen and elastin production. One hour, no downtime, visible the same day. You see it happen before committing to anything larger.
Resurfacing, tightening, injectables, and — when and only when it’s the right call — surgery, layered onto skin that is responding. Each step builds on the last.

FAQs
Two things happen. Collagen and elastin production, which ran on its own through your twenties, slows sharply. And years of accumulated sun damage have altered the DNA your skin cells copy to make new cells, so new skin is built from a damaged template. Creams work at the surface and can’t correct either problem. Laser and energy-based treatments can.
Yes. Treatment here is planned by skin type and wavelength, not by season. Tanned and darker skin is treated with devices and settings selected for that skin, so treatment doesn’t pause in summer.
Yes, with the right wavelength and the right operator. Longer wavelengths such as 1064 nm bypass surface pigment, which allows safe treatment of darker skin. The Laser Center treats all skin types year-round.
Yes. About a quarter of our laser patients are men. The most common concerns are tired-looking eyes, sun damage, redness, and overall skin quality. The goal is to look well rested, not like you’ve had something done.
Regenerative Maintenance is a one-hour, no-downtime laser protocol developed by Paul Kraft that stimulates collagen and elastin production and improves skin quality with each session. It’s painless, safe for all skin types, and performed four times a year. Most patients see improvement the same day and continued improvement for months.
No. A single session is $950. Most patients do four sessions a year, because each session builds on the last, and the four-session plan at $2,950 reflects that — but you can start with one and decide after you’ve seen your own result.
Before, whenever possible. A facelift on thin, sun-damaged skin has to be pulled tighter and tends not to hold. Restoring skin quality first lets the surgeon work with tissue that holds a natural result. At Vida Bela, facial surgery patients are assessed for skin work before surgery, and lasers are also used after surgery to treat scars.
The Trifecta is Paul Kraft’s signature combination protocol: five, six, or seven devices used in a single session under sedation or general anesthesia to address resurfacing, tightening, pigment, and scars with one recovery. A Modified Trifecta uses a lighter combination for fewer days of downtime. The Trifecta starts at $5,000 to $10,000 depending on the plan.
Those platforms aren’t used here. The concerns they treat — sun damage, pigment, redness, texture — are treated with the Motus, Helix, and Tetra platforms, combined into one protocol built for your skin.
You don’t need to. The consultation maps what is happening in your skin and the structures beneath it, then presents three treatment paths with a price range for each. Most patients have several concerns at once, and one protocol usually addresses all of them.
Paul Kraft, CLT, LSO, or a laser provider he has trained in his protocols, inside a plastic surgery practice founded and medically directed by Dr. Chelsea Snider, a board-certified plastic surgeon. The protocol is the same regardless of who delivers it.
Yes. Tell us your preference when you book. Every laser provider here delivers the same protocols.
The Laser Center is directed by a specialist whose protocols manufacturers use to train physicians, uses roughly 35 devices in combination so several concerns are treated in one visit, treats all skin types year-round, and operates inside a plastic surgery practice with a private surgical suite and on-site PACU — where every laser plan is designed alongside surgery and injectables.
Regenerative Maintenance starts at $950 per session, or $2,950 for a year of quarterly treatment. The Trifecta runs $5,000 to $10,000 per procedure. Resurfacing, tightening, pigment, scar, and body series are quoted at consultation based on the area and depth. Financing is available through Cherry, CareCredit, and PatientFi.
