    IPL vs Pico vs CO₂: Which Laser Actually Works for Anti-Aging? | The UnPhiltered PodcastAre IPL, Pico, Halo, CO₂ or Erbium lasers actually worth it for anti-aging — and how do you know which one is right for your skin? In today’s episode of The UnPhiltered Podcast, Dr. Philip Solomon breaks down the entire world of energy-based devices, from zero-downtime treatments to the most powerful resurfacing lasers we use in facial plastic surgery. We compare the most common options — IPL, Pico laser, microneedling RF, micro laser peels, CO₂ resurfacing and Erbium — and explain what each device is best suited for, including pigmentation, freckles, sun damage, texture, acne scars, fine lines, and deeper wrinkles. You’ll also learn the key differences between ablative vs non-ablative lasers, what “fractional” really means, how downtime changes with each device, and why certain lasers are safer for darker skin tones. Dr. Solomon also discusses how we combine technologies for better outcomes and shows real examples of how CO₂ and Erbium resurfacing can dramatically improve skin quality in a single treatment. Whether you're considering your first laser procedure or looking for the most effective option for your age and skin type, this episode breaks down what works, what doesn’t, and how to choose the safest, most effective treatment.Chapters:00:00 – Introduction: What Are Energy Devices?00:43 – The Three Categories of Aesthetic Medicine01:38 – Why We Use So Many Lasers at Solomon Facial Plastic02:16 – Light-Based Devices: IPL Explained (Benefits, Limitations)03:42 – Can IPL Treat Fine Lines and Wrinkles?04:10 – Treatment Frequency & Downtime for IPL04:36 – Pico Laser: How It Works & Who It's For05:21 – How Many Pico Laser Sessions Do You Need?06:05 – Pico Laser for Darker Skin Tones (Safety Advantages)06:35 – Combining Pico with Microneedling RF (Morpheus)06:42 – Entry-Level Resurfacing: NanoPeel & Micro Laser Peel07:04 – Ablative vs Non-Ablative Lasers (Key Differences)08:32 – Understanding Laser “Depth” & Controlled Burns09:14 – ProFractional, Fraxel & Other Fractional Devices09:48 – Why Skin Type and Downtime Matter Most10:24 – Micro Laser Peel Results & When It's Worth It11:10 – The Laser Pyramid: From IPL to CO₂11:44 – Treating Acne Scars: Why No Single Device Works12:20 – Best Lasers by Age Group (30s, 40s, 50+)13:08 – CO₂ Lasers: Downtime, Settings & Customization13:45 – CO₂ Before & After Case: Freckles, Texture, Pores14:42 – Combining CO₂ and Erbium for Advanced Aging15:30 – Why Erbium Is Best for Lip Lines & Smoker Lines16:13 – CO₂ for Eyelid Tightening (Non-Surgical Blepharoplasty)16:41 – Why We Combine Multiple Laser Devices16:45 – Halo Laser Explained (Benefits & Downtime)17:34 – The Real Challenge: Laser Downtime17:56 – Laser Season: Why Winter Is Best for Treatment18:31 – Sun Exposure After Lasers: Risks & Precautions19:10 – Final Thoughts: Choosing the Right Laser for Your Skin#laserresurfacing #co2laser #picolaser #facialaesthetics #plasticsurgery #facialplasticsurgery #facialplasticsurgeon #plasticsurgeon #drsolomon #theunphilteredpodcast Hosted on Acast.

    Episode 026 | Deep Plane Facelift Client Review
    Nov 14 2025

    In this powerful and personal episode of UnPhiltered, Dr. Phil Solomon sits down with one of his longtime patients to discuss an incredible transformation — a deep plane facelift performed in the patient’s late 60s.


    With honesty and vulnerability, our guest shares what led him to pursue facial rejuvenation later in life, the fears he had going into surgery, and how the deep plane technique restored not only his appearance — but his confidence. Together, they unpack the emotional and physical aspects of aging, the decision-making process behind choosing surgery, and the recovery journey that followed.


    Dr. Solomon offers insight into the deep plane facelift procedure, how it differs from traditional techniques, and why it’s often the gold standard for achieving natural, long-lasting results.

    This episode is a must-listen for anyone curious about the intersection of aging, identity, and modern aesthetic medicine.

    Because it’s never too late to look — and feel — like yourself again.
