Back, Shoulders, Arms: The Laser Treatments You Didn’t Know You Needed

When most people think about laser, they picture facial rejuvenation. But at Platinum Cosmetics, we also treat areas that are often exposed, neglected, or prone to scarring and pigmentation — like the back, shoulders and upper arms.

Here’s how our Fotona laser treatments can improve these areas just in time for spring and summer.

Back Treatments: Clearer Skin, Less Scarring

The back is a common spot for congestion and hormonal breakouts.

Our laser treatments help with:

  • Active breakouts (by calming inflammation and reducing bacteria)

  • Post-acne scarring or pigmentation

  • General skin texture and tone

We use long-pulsed Nd:YAG and fractional resurfacing modes, depending on the concern.

Ideal for: Anyone dealing with back acne, bumpy texture, or past scarring that won’t fade

Shoulders and Décolletage: Pigmentation & Redness

Shoulders get a lot of sun — and for many clients, that means:

  • Uneven pigmentation

  • Red or flushed skin

  • Broken capillaries

Laser gently fades these concerns by targeting the melanin and blood vessels beneath the skin’s surface — safely and progressively.

Ideal for: Sun damage, freckles, age spots, and vascular redness

Upper Arms: Texture, Tone & Firmness

If you’ve ever noticed rough, dry, or crepey skin on your upper arms (sometimes called “chicken skin”), you’re not alone.

We use fractional laser to:

  • Smooth texture

  • Stimulate collagen

  • Improve elasticity in the upper arms

We can also combine this with body contouring for fat reduction and skin tightening in the same area.

What to Expect

  • Most clients need 3–5 sessions depending on the concern

  • No downtime for most treatments (though fractional resurfacing may require gentle care)

  • Results build gradually with each visit

  • Spring is the perfect time to treat these areas before summer clothing returns

We’ll Create a Plan Just for You

At your consultation, we’ll assess your goals and tailor a combination of laser and skin care that’s right for you.

You don’t need to guess which treatment fits — we’ll guide you through it.
