LASER TREATMENTS

During laser hair removal, the laser sends a specific beam of light through the skin that is absorbed by the pigment in the hair. The light energy is converted to heat, which damages the hair follicles and inhibits or delays future hair growth.  Multiple laser hair removal treatments are needed for initial hair removal, and maintenance treatments might be needed as well. We recommend a series of 6 treatments spaced 4 weeks apart for best results.

To prepare for your treatment:
Please come to your appointment with the treatment area closely shaved. Do not wax or pluck for 4 weeks prior to your treatment.

Avoid sun exposure for at least 2 weeks prior to your appointment.

IPL or Intense Pulsed Light, uses the power of broadband light to improve the appearance of dark spots, sunspots, rosacea, age spots, and skin texture. It also an effective acne treatment.

To Prepare for your treatment:
Avoid: Excessive sun exposure, Tanning beds, waxing, chemical peels, collagen injections, and drugs that increase your bleeding risk such as aspirin and ibuprofen.

Non-ablative skin rejuvenation uses a laser to improve the appearance of wrinkles, brown spots, acne scars, surgical scars, and stretch marks, by creating heat in the skin without injuring the skin’s surface. The heat promotes collagen production, and skin cell turn over which causes the skin to tighten and look younger and healthier.

To Prepare for your treatment:
Avoid: Excessive sun exposure, Tanning beds, waxing, chemical peels, collagen injections, and drugs that increase your bleeding risk such as aspirin and ibuprofen.

If you have a history of cold sores or shingles, you should start an antiviral medication 2 days before treatment and continue 3 days after treatment.

This is the IPL, followed by a resurfacing treatment during the same appointment. These two different laser techniques rejuvenate the skin by both reducing pigment and stimulating collagen production. This makes it an excellent, all-in-one procedure to refresh your look and your skin.

Erbium laser resurfacing is designed to remove superficial and moderately deep lines and wrinkles. The Erbium laser results in a narrower area of heating of adjacent tissues compared with Co2 laser resurfacing. This results in a more focused removal of old skin cell layers.

The Co2 laser can precisely remove thin layers of skin with minimal damage to the surrounding structures. Because our laser is fractional it deliver a partial beam of light that targets only a fraction of the skin, in a pixelated pattern. We can adjust the percentage of the area treated and the depth of treatment to suit your skin concerns.
