Cynosure® 1540 Fractional Laser Skin Resurfacing
at Southern Urogynecology

What is Cynosure® 1540 Laser Skin Resurfacing?

The Cynosure® 1540 Fractional Non-Ablative Laser is an advanced skin resurfacing treatment that uses targeted microbeams of laser energy to stimulate collagen and elastin production deep within the skin. Unlike traditional resurfacing, this non-ablative approach treats the skin without removing the surface layer—meaning minimal downtime and safe, effective results.

It’s an excellent choice for patients who want to smooth fine lines, soften wrinkles, fade scars, and improve overall skin texture in a gentle, progressive way.

What Aesthetic Issues Does the 1540 Laser Address?

Cynosure® 1540 is designed to improve:

  • Fine lines and wrinkles
  • Acne scars and surgical scars
  • Stretch marks
  • Uneven skin texture
  • Sun damage and pigmentation
  • Early skin laxity

Benefits of Cynosure® 1540 Laser

  • Non-ablative (skin surface remains intact)
  • Stimulates new collagen and elastin
  • Improves skin tone, texture, and firmness
  • Softens scars and stretch marks
  • Safe for most skin types

Am I an Ideal Candidate?

You may be a good candidate if you:

  • Want to reduce fine lines, wrinkles, or scars
  • Prefer gradual, natural improvements over time

Expected Results

  • Progressive improvement: Results develop gradually as collagen remodels, with best results seen after a series of 3–5 treatments.
  • Scars & stretch marks: Noticeable softening and smoothing after multiple sessions.
  • Longevity: Improvements can last a year or more with proper skincare and sun protection.

Recovery

Downtime is minimal. After treatment, you may experience redness, mild swelling, or a sunburn-like sensation for 1–3 days. Makeup can usually be applied the next day. Skin continues to heal and improve over the following weeks.
