Laser Treatments in Prosper, TX
Diane Gibson, RN and owner, hand selects every device we use, with safety first and results right behind it.
Laser technology is quite literally changing the face of the medical aesthetics industry. There was a time when investing in high quality products was the only option if you wanted to change your skin. While those products are still important, incorporating laser services into your treatment plan can help you achieve high quality results in less time.
If your concerns go beyond surface skin issues and you’re struggling with things like angiomas, scarring, warts or even spider veins, lasers are also an effective tool to treat more complex conditions. Diane Gibson, RN and owner, carefully selects every piece of laser equipment used at Fitzy Shades. Safety is our number one priority. Next is results.
What skin concerns can laser treatments help with?
Acne
Aerolase targets acne causing bacteria and calms active breakouts. See Acne Treatment
Acne scars
Laser and energy treatments help smooth texture and support new collagen, often alongside microneedling or Morpheus8. See Acne Scar Treatment
Hyperpigmentation and dark spots
Sun spots and age spots respond well to light based treatment. Melasma and post acne marks need a gentler plan.
Redness and rosacea
Ingrown hairs and razor bumps
Reducing hair at the follicle means fewer hairs curling back into the skin.
Unwanted hair
Long term hair reduction for the face and body.
Spider veins
Signs of aging
Why Aerolase?
As if a pain-free treatment without downtime wasn’t enough, Aerolase also stands out from other lasers because it’s inclusive. Many lasers can only be used on lighter skin tones. Aerolase can be used on a wide range of skin tones and types, including skin of color, after a skin assessment.
Last but not least, we love Aerolase for its versatility. When clients come to us with a skin concern, there is almost always more than one issue they want to address. Since Aerolase can treat a number of skin issues, we can often address multiple concerns in one visit.

Laser treatment for every skin tone, done carefully
Aerolase uses a very short pulse that limits heat build up in the skin, which is why we can use it across a wide range of skin tones, including skin of color, after a skin assessment. Lumecca IPL is excellent for sun damage and redness in lighter skin, but it isn’t recommended for very dark skin because the light can be absorbed by surrounding pigment.
If one device isn’t right for you, we’ll recommend one that is.
Spider Vein Treatment in Prosper
Aerolase gives us the ability to offer varicose vein treatments! Varciose veins, also known as spider veins which commonly appear on the legs and thighs, are one of the most common areas we are asked to treat.
The Aerolase delivers a pulse of laser energy, which causes the blood within the vein to coagulate and destroy the vessel. Your body will absorb the destroyed vessel over the course of a few weeks. After your body naturally eliminates it, your skin will look rejuvenated and youthful.
Unlike some of the other varicose vein treatment centers in Prosper, our service is non-invasive which means you enjoy great results with little downtime. Treated veins may look darker or bruised for a few weeks as your body clears them.
Our laser technology
Aerolase for Hair Removal
The Aerolase uses a combination of heat and energy to destroy unwanted hair at the follicle level. Unlike some other hair removal methods, hair removal with the Aerolase is pain free and gentle on the skin surrounding the treatment site.
Most clients require a series of treatments spaced 3-4 weeks apart to see full results.
Lumecca IPL Therapy
The Fitzy Shades photofacial is another one of our favorites! We are proud to use the best equipment in the industry to deliver amazing results. Lumecca IPL is a gentle, non-invasive treatment that uses pulsed light to improve and erase skin imperfections such as:
- Sun damage (brown spots)
- Facial Vessels
- Redness/Rosacea
- Hair Reduction
- Acne
- Age Spots
- Skin Tightening
How does IPL work?
Our photofacial device uses broad spectrum light that is filtered by frequency to treat specific areas. When the light is delivered at the surface it penetrates deep into the layers of your skin to reverse the conditions that are visible on the surface. At the same time, the frequencies used help slow down the aging process by triggering your body’s natural wound-healing response. This helps your skin to generate new cells and increase collagen production.
Other laser and energy options
Depending on your goals, your plan may also include Morpheus8 for skin tightening and scars, Ablative Laser Resurfacing for deeper texture, or SkinPen® microneedling for tone and texture.
