Unlike traditional CO2 lasers, it uses light energy to heat the lower layers of skin without harming or removing the outer layer. This triggers your body’s natural collagen production and visibly improves fine lines, dark spots, and minor scars, with little to no downtime.
Legacy Plastic Surgery & Aesthetics is proud to be among the first providers in the Exton and Lancaster areas to offer this cutting-edge technology.
“AVAVA is different from any laser I’ve used. As a plastic surgeon, what excites me most is finally being able to treat concerns we once thought were out of reach, not just on the face and neck, but crepey arms and knees, stretch marks, cellulite, and aging hands. I’m proud to bring this technology to Legacy Plastic Surgery.”
Dr. Paul Kim
Traditional fractional lasers deliver energy in straight cylinders. To reach the deeper, collagen-producing layers of skin, the beam must first strike the top layer at maximum intensity, burning or ablating the surface.
AVAVA works differently. It uses a unique conical, ring-shaped laser beam that spreads energy over a wider area as it enters the skin, reducing damage to the epidermis, then narrows just below the surface and deep into the dermis.
In short, the laser’s maximum energy hits the exact layer beneath the epidermis where collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid are produced, without blasting or damaging the surface.
Topical numbing combined with sapphire contact cooling keeps sessions cooler and remarkably comfortable.
Tightens skin, treats acne scars, improves overall skin quality, and even helps bank collagen for a more youthful appearance over time.
Deep skin remodeling has traditionally required heavy ablative lasers and 7–14 days of painful recovery. AVAVA patients generally experience mild redness and a “sun-kissed” warmth, or slightly sandpaper-like texture, for just 24–48 hours.
Patients with deeper skin tones have historically faced a higher risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) or scarring from laser treatments, because melanin in the surface layer absorbs laser heat. Because AVAVA’s energy is concentrated beneath the epidermis, surface pigment absorbs minimal heat, making it one of the few high-impact lasers that can safely treat all skin tones.
Most patients notice improvement as healing progresses, with continued collagen remodeling for months after treatment. Your skin doesn’t just heal; it keeps getting better over time.
AVAVA combines skin resurfacing and skin tightening in a single treatment, helping you achieve natural-looking rejuvenation with significantly less downtime than many traditional resurfacing lasers.
AVAVA isn’t limited to the face, neck, jawline, and chest. It’s also an effective option for a range of problem areas that many traditional lasers can’t safely reach:
“I am so amazed by the results I’ve experienced! I was starting to notice drooping in my lower face and jawline and texture concerns around my mouth. I saw results after just 1 treatment and now, after 3 treatments, my skin feels firmer, looks smoother, and my jawline is much more defined!* The procedure was quick and relatively painless with hardly any downtime. AVAVA™ helped me feel more confident and youthful—this treatment has been life changing!”
*Skin tightening through soft tissue coagulation
“I feel like my skin is the healthiest it has ever been. I feel like I can actually go outside without makeup for the first time in my life and have such a renewed sense of self-confidence. AVAVA™ has changed my life and how I feel about myself for the better.”
