The needs of your body and your skin are in a constant state of change. Whether that’s a result of aging, evolving attitudes on beauty, or simply the change in season, it makes finding the right blend of care, products, and treatments that are both effective and safe a struggle we regularly experience. That’s why Apex Skin Aesthetics exists.
We’re not just delivering the same old treatments. We are actively seeking out the next best solution; the one that works for all types of people with all types of skin, that is targeted to the areas you want but can be versatile to work on multiple areas too, that has the lowest recovery time and the longest lasting results. That’s why we think 2024 is the year of the laser.
We are using laser treatments to help so many of our patients feel confident in their skin, but maybe you’ve been hesitant to try. We asked one of our amazing Aesthetic Physician Assistants, Liz Sippey, to help us dive into the latest news in lasers to help shine a light on all the great things this innovative treatment can do for you.
Lasers in 2024
The appeal of emerging aesthetic laser technologies remains strong, drawing in those looking for a new solution to the same skin issues we all struggle with. Liz has noticed a notable uptick in requests for minimally invasive procedures, specifically targeting issues such as hair reduction, skin resurfacing, scarring, and acne.
The growth in demand proves people want the latest aesthetic laser technologies because they offer visible results without prolonged recovery periods or discomfort. She feels this shows a shift towards a more proactive approach to skincare and self-care, rather than waiting for a problem and finding a solution to it.
Most Popular Aesthetic Laser Treatment
When it comes to the future of laser aesthetics, Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) emerges as a frontrunner at Apex Skin Aesthetics. Recognized for its versatility, IPL serves as a jack-of-all-trades, effectively targeting sunspots, melasma, rosacea, leg veins, and unwanted hair with remarkable precision and minimal recovery time. It’s no wonder that patients flock to IPL for its ability to deliver visible results while accommodating their busy lifestyles.

Newest Laser Technology
“There have been significant upgrades in our lasers this year here at Apex as we expanded our laser portfolio to include the Stellar M22, a device that has multiple handpieces to address both discoloration as well as texture including fine lines/wrinkles and scarring.”
The Stellar M22 is a revolutionary device that combines several state-of-the-art technologies into one and guarantees unmatched efficacy and safety throughout each treatment session. The Stellar M22 can reduce, or eliminate, the signs of sun damage, vascular lesions, leg veins, and more. With our emerging technologies in aesthetic lasers, we prove to our patients that their trust in our capabilities is well placed.
Bespoke Treatments
Recognizing that everyone is unique, Liz emphasizes the importance of personalized care.
“There is never a one-size-fits-all treatment. Each patient has different concerns and that is what I am here to address. For example, for some, the only concern is under-eye wrinkles, and their smile lines do not bother them, or maybe it is their broken blood vessels around the nose, but they want to keep their freckles. This is all addressed in our consultations. I always say, ‘If it doesn’t bother you, then it doesn’t bother me.’ It is not my job to point out blemishes or imperfections—unless you ask me to!”
At Apex Skin Aesthetics, consultations are not one-size-fits-all. They’re tailored to address the specific concerns and preferences of each patient. By crafting custom treatment plans, we ensure that every individual receives the attention and care they deserve, leading to optimal outcomes.
Combination Therapy
In the pursuit of radiant, youthful skin, patients are demanding the transformative potential of combination therapies. Liz seamlessly combines laser treatments with complementary additions such as dermal fillers to craft personalized rejuvenation plans that correspond with everyone’s unique features. This holistic approach not only delivers natural-looking enhancements but also boosts overall confidence, empowering patients to radiate beauty from within.
Enhanced Patient Experience
At Apex Skin Aesthetics, we understand that the journey to radiant skin should be as comfortable and stress-free as possible. That’s why we’ve curated a state-of-the-art facility in Mayfield Heights, designed to prioritize patient comfort and relaxation.
“From soothing treatment rooms to attentive staff, every aspect of our practice is tailored to ensure a positive and memorable experience for our patients. We know 2024 laser treatment trends are important to be aware of, but the comfort of our patients is even more paramount to doing what we do best.”
Skin Types and Inclusivity
At Apex Skin Aesthetics, we cherish diversity, recognizing that every skin type deserves tailored care. Liz emphasizes the critical role of expertise, especially in treating darker skin tones, ensuring the utmost safety and efficacy in laser procedures for all. Our commitment to inclusivity extends beyond skin types. We strive to create an environment where every one of our clients feels valued and empowered.
By fostering a culture of acceptance and understanding, we inspire our patients to embrace their unique beauty with unwavering confidence.
Supporting Post-Treatment Care
While achieving optimal results is our focus, maintaining them is equally important. Liz provides comprehensive post-procedure instructions and recommends Apex’s exclusive post-procedure skincare kits to support healing and preserve the longevity of results. “By prioritizing post-treatment care, we empower our patients to safeguard their investment in their skin and enjoy lasting benefits.” We apply our expertise and proven solutions to ensure you have the tools to maintain your results.
Taking the Time to Learn
“Patient education prior to any treatment is necessary, especially when it comes to lasers. It is important to review expectations with your provider so that the correct treatment can be recommended. Concerning pre- and post-laser patient education, I am extremely thorough as to minimize the chance of complications.”
Liz’s dedication to patient education extends to comprehensive consultations, where she thoroughly explores expectations and potential risks and tailors personalized treatment plans.
By equipping our patients with a wealth of knowledge and understanding, we instill in them the confidence and clarity needed to feel in control of their body.
Advice for Patients Who Aren’t Sure
For those contemplating aesthetic laser treatments, Liz offers invaluable advice:
“Do your research, communicate openly about your concerns, and schedule a consultation to explore your options. Your journey to radiant skin begins with a single step—take advantage of our complimentary consultation offer and embark on a path to newfound confidence and beauty.”
