Aging and skin damage are inevitable. As time passes, we grow older and wiser. Signs of aging begin to show, collagen production slows, skin becomes less taught, and fine lines appear. While some of us love these signs of a life well-lived and wisdom, others wish to minimize them.
There are many treatment options available for those who do not love the signs of aging or skin damage. At Mill City Laser in Minneapolis, we offer exclusively laser-based skin treatments for:
• Broken capillaries
• Sunspots
• Cherry angiomas
• Fine Line Reduction
We are an aesthetic laser studio and we believe the best treatments are backed by science. Our trained technicians use the Fitzpatrick skin scale to determine which treatments are best for your skin type based on your desired outcome.

Anti-Aging: What Do We Mean?
Anti-aging has become a bit of an overused buzzword in mainstream media. Anti-aging is studied scientifically, but it can be difficult for consumers to tell the difference between real solutions and gimmicks marketed to them.
At Mill City Laser, we use methods and tools that are backed by science and research. We always promise to be transparent with our customers about expectations, processes, and risks. It is our mission to provide clients with the best treatments available.
Skin Treatments
Our skincare services are meant to visibly reduce signs of aging and damaged skin. Our laser technology uses heat energy to deliver a specific amount of heat, at a specific depth, at a specific target to accomplish a goal. Our laser can work with several targets: hair pigment, lesion pigment, blood, and water. We offer the following skincare and anti-aging treatments:
Photofacials
Photofacials. A photofacial is a laser skin rejuvenation treatment that safely and effectively targets reds and browns to provide a more even skin tone.
Redness Reduction
According to the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, facial redness can be caused by a number of things:
Acne
Hormones
Aging
Medication
Diffuse redness
Redness can be caused by dilated capillaries, which cause general redness of the skin. The most common areas affected by redness are the nose, forehead, and cheeks. What causes these conditions?
Age
Genetics
Prolonged heat exposure
Burns and sunburns
Shifting between extreme temperatures
Pressure
Do you have redness or broken capillaries that you would like to reduce? The heat from the laser causes these vessels at the skin’s surface to close, which can diffuse the overall redness and create a more even skin tone.
Spots Reduction: Freckles, Sunspots, Cherry Angiomas
Freckles, sunspots, and cherry angiomas are quite common, especially in people 30 and older and are usually harmless. What causes these spots? How can they be treated?
Freckles. Some people have many freckles year-round, and some people only get them after prolonged sun exposure. Freckles can fade over time or darken with UV exposure.
Sunspots. As the name suggests, sunspots are caused by the sun. The main factor at play is how much you expose your skin to the sun in your lifetime.
Cherry angiomas. Whether or not you get a cherry angioma is completely determined by genetics. Cherry angiomas look like little red moles. They can be flat or raised and increase in number as you age.
Laser treatment can help reduce the visibility of all of these spots and dots. The laser produces heat energy that is absorbed by the freckle, sunspot, or cherry angioma and the top layers are shed through normal body processes, revealing healthy skin beneath. Keep in mind, if you have had these spots for most of your life, you may need several treatments to see the desired results and some spots may not be able to be fully reduced.
Treatment
At Mill City Laser, quality is our top priority, which is why we use top quality machines that are counted as gold standard in the industry. Mill City Laser has chosen brand new, not refurbished, technology that is high quality and maintained with service that ensures that quality continues over time.
The type of laser hair reduction machine we use is the Candela GentleMax Pro, and we always buy new. This laser costs four to six times as much as competitors' equipment, which can often not treat all skin types or provide the variety of services we can with one machine.
This state-of-the-art machine is the only one we use because it is unmatched in:
- Comfort
- Technology
- Speed
- Quality
