Why Christie Brinkley Loves Lasers—And What They Can Do for Your Skin, Too

At 71, Christie Brinkley continues to turn heads, not because she’s chasing youth, but because she embodies the kind of radiant skin health and confidence that transcends age. In recent interviews, the model and entrepreneur has shared that her beauty philosophy focuses on wellness over wrinkle-erasing, telling outlets, “I don’t try to get rid of every wrinkle. I mainly do lasers.”

Here at Movassaghi Plastic Surgery & Ziba Medical Spa in Eugene, we could not agree more. Laser treatments have become a staple of modern aesthetic medicine, not to create artificial or “done” results, but to support skin’s natural regeneration, promote long-term skin health, and help patients look as vibrant as they feel.

Christie’s Approach: Health Over Perfection

Brinkley’s attitude toward beauty reflects a growing shift in how women approach skincare in their 50s, 60s, and beyond. “I don’t want to look ‘done’ or anything,” she explained. “It’s mainly about health for me now.” That message resonates deeply with the patients we see every day—people who are less interested in chasing youth and more interested in looking healthy, rested, and confident at any age.

Lasers are uniquely suited to support that goal. Whether you’re treating sun damage, smoothing fine lines, or simply refreshing your complexion, the right laser treatment can improve the way your skin looks and feels—without changing who you are.

How Laser Treatments Improve Skin Health & Appearance

Laser technology has advanced tremendously over the past decade. Today’s treatments are more precise, more customizable, and more effective than ever before. At our Eugene medical spa, we offer fractional CO2 laser skin resurfacing to address specific skin concerns with little-to-no downtime. 

Here are just a few of the ways lasers benefit skin:

Stimulates Collagen Production

Controlled laser energy removes dull and damaged outer layers of skin and gently heats the deeper layers of skin, prompting your body to produce new collagen and elastin (the key building blocks of firm, youthful skin). This process gradually smooths fine lines, improves elasticity, and gives skin a healthy glow.

Improves Tone and Texture

Lasers can effectively treat uneven pigmentation, age spots, redness, rough texture, scarring, and most other surface signs of aging. These treatments also help brighten dull skin and reduce visible sun damage, improving overall skin clarity while tightening skin tone.

Supports Long-Term Skin Renewal

Just as regular exercise supports whole-body wellness, regular Eugene laser treatments can support ongoing skin renewal. Many patients opt for annual or bi-annual maintenance sessions to continue stimulating collagen, manage discoloration, and keep their skin looking its best. It’s an ideal protocol for men and women who want to keep their skin in its best condition for much longer while aging naturally. 

Minimal Downtime, Natural Results

Like Christie Brinkley, many of our patients value treatments that achieve noticeable results but do not interrupt their routines. Even a comprehensive laser treatment with our qualified laser technicians only requires 4-7 days of recovery and social downtime, making it easy to incorporate into a skin health plan without significant disruption.

Why Choose Us for Laser Treatments in Eugene 

Laser treatments should be entirely personalized to your skin’s condition and goals. Treatment from an inexperienced provider may result in underwhelming changes or, worse, overtreating the skin and leaving burns. It is essential to work with a qualified, experienced laser technician who understands facial anatomy and skin physiology. 

At Movassaghi Plastic Surgery & Ziba Medical Spa, Dr. Kiya Movassaghi and our experienced team of licensed aesthetic specialists customize every treatment plan to suit your skin’s unique needs.

Healthy Skin Is Beautiful Skin

Christie Brinkley’s approach is a refreshing reminder that beauty does not mean perfection. Laser treatments offer a way to support your skin’s health while preserving the features that make you uniquely you. Whether you’re hoping to reduce signs of sun damage, improve skin firmness, or simply refresh your appearance, laser treatments can help you age with confidence and authenticity.
