Today’s aesthetic technology can do much more than simply refresh the skin. With the right laser or light-based treatment, it may be possible to reduce unwanted hair, improve discoloration, soften scars, treat visible vessels, target acne, and rejuvenate the skin with little to no downtime. At Morrell Dermatology, we offer a range of advanced treatment options using trusted platforms to treat a variety of medical and cosmetic skin concerns.
Because every concern is different, the best treatment starts with an accurate diagnosis and a personalized plan. Our board-certified dermatologist in Beaumont and Port Neches, Dr. Peter Morrell, and team can evaluate your skin, discuss your goals, and recommend the most appropriate option based on the type of issue being treated, your skin tone, your timeline, and the kind of results you hope to achieve.

Laser Hair Removal
Unwanted hair can be frustrating and time-consuming to manage. Laser hair removal offers a more efficient way to reduce hair growth in areas such as the face, underarms, bikini line, chest, back, and legs. At Morrell Dermatology, this treatment is performed using the M22 platform, which targets pigment in the hair follicle while helping preserve the surrounding skin. Because hair grows in cycles, a series of sessions is typically recommended for optimal results. Over time, many patients experience smoother skin and long-term hair reduction.
Scar Resurfacing
Scars can vary widely in texture, color, and depth, which is why treatment should be tailored to the specific type of scar. Laser resurfacing can help improve the appearance of certain scars by removing damaged outer layers of skin and stimulating new collagen beneath the surface. We use advanced CO2 laser technology with the Alpha UltraPulse® system to help soften scar texture and improve blending with surrounding skin. Some scars respond well to a single treatment, while others may benefit from a series or combination approach.
Keloid Scar Removal
Keloids are raised scars that grow beyond the original injury and can continue to thicken over time. They may cause discomfort or cosmetic concern and can be prone to recurrence if not treated appropriately. Treatment may include a combination of laser therapy with the UltraPulse® system and superficial radiotherapy using the SRT-100 device. This non-invasive approach is designed for precision, minimal discomfort, and little to no downtime, with patients typically able to return to normal activities immediately after treatment. Combining therapies can help improve the appearance of keloids while reducing the risk of recurrence.
Stretch Mark Removal
Stretch marks can develop due to pregnancy, weight changes, or growth and often persist despite topical treatments. Laser resurfacing offers a way to improve their appearance by stimulating collagen and remodeling the skin. Using CO2 laser technology with the UltraPulse® system, treatment can help soften the texture of stretch marks and improve how they blend with surrounding skin. While they cannot be completely removed, many patients notice smoother, less visible marks after treatment.
Tattoo Removal
If a tattoo no longer fits your style, laser removal can gradually break down the ink so your body can naturally eliminate it over time. We use a Q-switched Nd:YAG laser on the M22 platform to target tattoo pigment while minimizing impact on surrounding skin. Multiple sessions are typically required, and the number depends on factors such as ink color, depth, and age of the tattoo.

Facial Redness & Vein Treatment
Persistent redness and visible facial vessels can make the skin appear flushed or uneven. Light-based treatments can target these concerns at the source to improve overall skin clarity. At our practice, this is performed using the M22 system, which is designed to address visible blood vessels and redness associated with conditions like broken capillaries and flushing. Treatments are typically quick and well tolerated, with minimal disruption to your routine.
Facial Pigmentation & Melasma Treatment
Uneven pigmentation, sun spots, and melasma can be difficult to treat with skin care products alone. Laser and light-based treatments can help target excess pigment and improve overall skin tone. We use the M22 platform to address pigmentation concerns, often as part of a customized plan that may also include topical treatments and sun protection. Because melasma can be complex, careful treatment planning is key to achieving safe and effective results.
IPL Photofacial
Intense pulsed light (IPL) therapy, also known as a photofacial, can help improve overall skin tone, reduce redness, and address sun damage for a more refreshed appearance. Using XPL technology on the M22 platform, this treatment delivers light energy to target pigmentation and vascular irregularities. It’s a popular option for patients seeking noticeable skin improvement with little to no downtime.
CO2 Laser Skin Resurfacing
CO2 laser resurfacing is a more intensive treatment designed to significantly improve skin texture and visible signs of aging. At Morrell Dermatology, we use the UltraPulse® CO2 laser to remove damaged outer layers of skin while stimulating collagen production. This makes it effective for deeper wrinkles, acne scars, and more advanced sun damage. While recovery time is longer than with lighter treatments, results can be more dramatic.
Non-Ablative Skin Resurfacing
For patients who want skin rejuvenation with less downtime, non-ablative resurfacing offers a gentler alternative. We perform this treatment using ResurFX™ technology on the M22 platform, which stimulates collagen beneath the skin without removing the outer layer. It is often used to improve fine lines, mild scarring, and early signs of aging, with results developing gradually over a series of treatments.
Leg Vein Treatment
Visible leg veins can become more noticeable over time and may be difficult to conceal. Laser treatment offers a non-surgical way to improve their appearance. Using multi-spot Nd:YAG technology on the M22 platform, we can target unwanted veins, which are then gradually absorbed by the body. This treatment is typically best suited for smaller superficial veins and can help create a more even-looking skin tone on the legs.
AviClear® Acne Treatment
Acne can affect both teens and adults and may not always respond to traditional treatments. AviClear® is a laser-based option designed to address acne at its source. This treatment offers a non-drug approach for managing breakouts and can be especially appealing for patients looking for alternatives to ongoing medications. Treatment plans are customized based on the severity and pattern of acne.
Renuvion® Skin Tightening
Renuvion® is an advanced skin tightening technology that uses helium plasma energy combined with radiofrequency to firm and contract the skin from beneath the surface. At Morrell Dermatology, it is used in conjunction with liposuction to help address skin laxity that may remain after fat removal, delivering controlled energy just below the skin to improve contour and create a smoother, tighter result virtually anywhere on the body.
