At RefinedMD, we offer a full spectrum of lasers and light devices, including fractional skin resurfacing lasers. Each device is designed to work at specific wavelengths for precise, customizable results. Many dermatology offices have 1 or 2 options, limiting their ability to tailor treatments to individual needs. While nearly any laser can achieve some degree of improvement, our ability to match the correct technology to your specific concern enhances your results.
Dr Swengel is absolutely stellar in every way. I have been seeing him for many years. I’m confident in his recommendations and procedural abilities. As an aging (60’s female) I want to try to reverse and prevent signs of aging. I trust him for Botox, fillers,laser treatments and whatever else he recommends.

Meet Dr. Steven SwengelAlthough not technically lasers, broadband light (BBL) treatments are some of our most powerful tools for improving the complexion. BBL HERO and HEROic erase sun damage, freckles, redness, and visible vessels. They also calm acne and stimulate collagen production. BBL treatments require little to no downtime.
Clarity II takes laser technology beyond skin rejuvenation. It is one of the most advanced systems for both laser hair removal and the treatment of pigmented spots such as lentigos. With dual wavelengths, it can be customized for different skin types and areas of the body, providing smooth, hair-free skin and a clearer complexion.
For vascular issues like rosacea, broken capillaries, spider veins, and even pigmented spots, Excel V sets the standard. This dual-wavelength laser is designed to precisely target redness and pigmentation while leaving surrounding skin unharmed. It’s an excellent option for patients who want clearer, more even-toned skin.
Laser Genesis is one of our most popular “no-downtime” treatments. Using a gentle Nd:YAG laser, it targets redness, boosts collagen, and subtly smooths fine lines and texture. Many patients love Genesis as part of their ongoing skin maintenance plan because it delivers a healthy, natural glow with zero interruption to daily life.
