Laser Skin Tightening - Minnesota (Minneapolis/St. Paul)
Dermapen + HLA
Dermapen with hyaluronic acid (HLA) is a cosmetic microneedling skin therapy primarily done on the face & neck for fractional resurfacing of aging skin, acne scars, and for shrinkage of large skin pores. During this procedure at HCS MedSpa, tiny puncture holes are placed in the skin to stimulate collagen production along with percutaneous injection of topically-applied HLA gel
Dermapen + HLA + PRP
Dermapen with hyaluronic acid (HLA) and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is a cosmetic microneedling skin therapy primarily done on the face & neck for fractional resurfacing of aging skin, acne scars, and for shrinkage of large skin pores. During this procedure at HCS MedSpa, tiny puncture holes are placed in the skin to stimulate collagen production along with percutaneous injection of topically-applied HLA gel and Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP). PRP is able to rejuvenate aged skin by stimulating fibroblast cells to make collagen and promoting tissue remodeling in aged and damaged skin. Platelet-rich plasma is derived from a patient's own blood then injected into the skin of the face to induce regeneration, wound healing, and tissue rejuvenation.
Dermapen+HLA+PRP+Stem Cells
Dermapen with hyaluronic acid (HLA) and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and adipocyte-derived stem cells (ADSCs) is a cosmetic microneedling skin therapy primarily done on the face & neck for fractional resurfacing of aging skin, acne scars, large pores, and for anti-aging & tissue regeneration. During this procedure, millions of tiny puncture holes are placed in the skin to stimulate collagen production along with percutaneous injection of topically-applied HLA gel, platelet-rich plasma (PRP), and autologous adult stem cells (ADSCs). PRP is derived from a patient's own blood. ADSCs are derived from a patient's own fat obtained via a liposuction procedure. Dermapen + HLA + PRP + Stem Cells is the ultimate regenerative medicine procedure for regeneration and rejuvenation of the Aging Face & Neck.
Laser Cellulite Reduction
During a laser cellulite reduction procedure, a tiny laser fiber contained within a hollow metal cannula is used to deliver laser energy to target cellulite areas. Under local anesthesia, trapped cellulite and fat are liquefied and disrupted, collagen is stimulated, and overlying skin is firmed and tightened. At HCS, LaserTyte-Subdermal™ using the Sciton ProLipo™ laser was developed by board certified cosmetic laser surgeon, Dr. Roger Hogue, to achieve effective single-session laser cellulite reduction.
Laser Liposculpture
Laser Liposculpture, also known as laser liposuction, is a cosmetic laser surgery procedure which uses a laser to heat up and emulsify the fat space with monitored internal heating to targeted limits which tightens the entire fat space and overlying skin. Unlike traditional liposuction, laser liposculpture uses tiny laser fibers about the size of a spaghetti noodle to melt the fat. Then, tiny suction tubes are used to allow the liposuction surgeon to remove the emulsified fat and perform liposculpting. At Hogue Cosmetic Surgery, Dr. Hogue has pioneered Hi-Def Laser Liposculpture to consistently achieve very impressive laser body sculpting results for his patients.
Laser Skin Resurfacing
Laser Skin Resurfacing at HCS MedSpa refers to a cosmetic photorejuvenation procedure using a 2940 nm Er:YAG (Erbium) laser to superficially ablate the epidermis and upper portion of the dermis to treat acne scars, sun damage, fine lines, wrinkles, age spots and loose skin. The term resurfacing of the epidermis/dermis refers to tiny pinpoints of laser light being used to deliver the laser energy to the entire surface of the skin area treated. At HCS MedSpa, PRP microneedling is encouraged immediately after laser skin resurfacing to promote wound healing and speed recovery.
LaserTyte-Subdermal™
This single-session cosmetic laser procedure is performed in individuals when skin laxity and cellulite is the predominant treatment focus. Using an innovative procedure developed by board certified cosmetic laser surgeon, Dr. Roger Hogue, a customized laser fiber contained within a hollow metal cannula is inserted in the subdermal space beneath the skin, often in conjunction with mechanical disruption, to achieve surface contour smoothing of uneven fat clusters, skin tightening, and cellulite reduction.
LaserTyte-1320 (SkinTyte)
LaserTyte-1320 is a laser skin tightening procedure for the face and neck with no downtime that deeply heats the dermal collagen resulting in shrinkage of the dermal tissues including skin, oil glands, skin pores, and dermal blood vessels. Skin is tightened as existing collagen is remodeled and fibroblasts within the dermis are stimulated to form new collagen. LaserTyte-1320 is safe for all skin types and best if done immediately after a Venus Freeze procedure on the face and/or neck for achieving optimal results.
LaserTyte-Transdermal™
This cosmetic laser procedure is performed on the face and/or neck area to heat the skin to 48-50 degrees Celsius using a powerful1320nm Sciton Nd:YAG laser. This innovative procedure, which was developed by board certified cosmetic laser surgeon, Dr. Roger Hogue, uses a non-contact laser fiber delivery system to achieve thermal-induced skin tightening. LaserTyte-Transdermal™ is safe for all skin types, is painless, requires no anesthesia, and has no downtime.
Micro Laser Peel
A Micro Laser Peel at HCS MedSpa refers to a cosmetic photorejuvenation procedure using a 2940 nm Er:YAG (Erbium) laser to treat acne scars, sun damage, fine lines, wrinkles, and age spots which involves complete laser heating of the dermis to a 20-60 micron depth.
ProFractional Laser Peel
ProFractional Laser Peel at HCS MedSpa refers to a cosmetic photorejuvenation procedure using a 2940 nm Er:YAG (Erbium) laser to treat acne scars, sun damage, fine lines, wrinkles, and age spots. The term fractional resurfacing of the dermis refers to tiny pinpoints of laser light being used to deliver the laser energy to the surface of the skin in only a fraction of the area, thereby allowing for deeper depths, more rapid healing, and lower risk when compared with a confluent laser peel where 100% of the surface area is ablated.

PRP Facial Microneedling
The PRP Facial Microneedling procedure is a minimally-invasive cosmetic treatment which uses topically-applied platelet-rich plasma (PRP) for skin regeneration and rejuvenation. At HCS MedSpa, PRP Microneedling is done with topical anesthesia which allows for painless percutaneous injection of activated PRP into the skin of the face, neck and stretch mark areas.
PRP Scar Microneedling
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is used at HCS as a cosmetic treatment to promote scar revision and healing. PRP contains growth factors and proteins which improve the blood supply to the scar area thereby stimulating scar remodeling and wound healing. PRP also stimulates fibroblast proliferation and collagen synthesis. During this procedure, topically-applied anesthetic cream is used to numb the scar and surrounding area. Using a Dermapen microneedling device, thousands of tiny puncture holes which serve as microscopic channels are placed in the skin to facilitate percutaneous tattoo-like injection of activated platelet-rich plasma (PRP) derived from a patient's own blood.
PRP Stretch Mark Microneedling
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is used at HCS as a cosmetic treatment for scars resulting from tearing of the dermis, otherwise known as stretch marks. PRP contains growth factors and proteins which improve the blood supply to the scar area thereby stimulating scar remodeling and rejuvenation of the skin and dermis. PRP also stimulates fibroblast proliferation and collagen synthesis. During this procedure, topically-applied anesthetic cream is used to numb the stretch mark area. Using a Dermapen microneedling device, thousands of tiny puncture holes which serve as microscopic channels are placed in the skin to facilitate percutaneous tattoo-like injection of activated platelet-rich plasma (PRP) derived from a patient's own blood. The combination of PRP and Microneedling is tailor made for treatment of stretch marks since is effectively induces collagen and remodels skin with essentially no downtime
Vampire FaceLift®
The Vampire FaceLift® is a trademarked name for a non-surgical cosmetic treatment which combines the injection of HLA Fillers for facial volume enhancement and contouring along with injection of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) for facial regeneration and rejuvenation to treat fine lines, wrinkles, folds, and soft-tissue volume loss or contour irregularities.
Vampire Facial
At HCS, a Vampire Facial is a cosmetic facial rejuvenation treatment to achieve fractional resurfacing of aging skin, acne scars, large pores, and for cosmetic improvement of fine lines and wrinkles. During this procedure, a microneedling device is used after topically numbing the face with anesthetic cream to create millions of tiny skin puncture holes which serve as microscopic channels to facilitate percutaneous injection of activated platelet-rich plasma (PRP) into the face. PRP is derived from a patient's own blood. A Vampire Facial is essentially the same as a PRP Facial Microneedling procedure
Venus Freeze®
Venus Freeze® is a non-invasive cosmetic treatment offered at HCS MedSpa which combines Radio Frequency and Magnetic Pulses for skin tightening, wrinkle reduction, cellulite improvement, and circumferential volume reduction. Venus Freeze® may be safely, painlessly, and effectively used on the face, neck, and body areas.
VENUSTYTE™ (VENUS FREEZE + LaserTyte-Transdermal™)
At HCS MedSpa, VenusTyte™ was invented by Dr. Hogue as revolutionary, innovative non-invasive skin and tissue tightening cosmetic treatment for the face and neck areas. This procedure first involves intermediate and deep tissue thermal heating of face & neck dermal tissues using Venus Freeze (Radio Frequency), followed next by effective targeted heating of the skin surface LaserTyte-Transdermal™ with an infrared laser.
