Laser Treatments 

In recent years, medical lasers have become significantly more advanced. Non-invasive treatments like laser therapy have become increasingly popular because they involve very few side effects and patients resume regular activities immediately following treatment. Laser is effective for the removal of unwanted hair, wrinkle and cellulite reduction, diminishing acne scars, and repairing sun-damaged skin.  Laser treatment also has proven effective for the correction of benign pigmented lesions such as age spots, birthmarks, and tattoos.

Who are candidates for Laser Treatments?

Men, women and children, with light or dark skin can safely and effectively be treated by laser therapy. Patients using blood thinners or who have been diagnosed with a serious illness generally are not candidates for treatment. Patients with darks suntans or photosensitivity disorders, diabetes, bleeding disorders, or who are currently taking photosensitizing medications also may be restricted from candidacy.

Laser Hair Removal

Laser treatment for unwanted hair is a non-invasive approach to permanent reduction and long-term hair removal. Treatment is specifically designed to eliminate undesired hair from all parts of the body. Unlike many other treatment methods, Laser Hair Removal leaves your skin looking and feeling smoother and softer. Imagine the Time Saved by not having to pluck, tweeze, wax, or deal with unwanted hair!

What is treatment like?

The laser produces a beam of highly concentrated light. Without damaging the surrounding tissue, controlled pulses of light penetrate the skin and are absorbed by the hair follicles.  The heat discourages and ultimately destroys the potential for regrowth.

How many treatments are required?

Because the laser affects hair follicles only when they are in the growth phase, more than one treatment may be necessary to disable hair follicles that subsequently enter the growth phase. During your consultation you will be advised as to the approximate number of treatments required.

Laser Facial Rejuvenation

This is a non-invasive approach in which the laser energy penetrates the skin, damaging the deepest tissue layers. The damage causes the skin to repair itself and stimulates the production of collagen. As the underlying skin thickens, the top layers of the skin begin to contour more smoothly, eliminating wrinkles and fine lines. Multiple treatments may be recommended. This treatment option works well in conjunction with microdermabrasion for certain scars. 

Pigmented Lesion Removal

Light safely passes through the outermost layers of the skin seeking out the targeted vascular or pigmented lesions. Without damaging the surrounding skin, the lasers intense light is absorbed by the targeted lesion. The light energy is then converted to heat and this initiates the process of diminishing the lesion. The treated lesion will fade over time or disappear completely. In many cases smaller vessels or pigmentation spots are eliminated in 1 to 2 treatments. Medium or large vessels may take additional treatments.

Acne Scar Resurfacing

This treatment is excellent for acne scarring as well as for aged or sun-damaged skin. The laser vaporizes the damaged skin and during the following weeks the thermal damage to the deep tissue stimulates new skin growth, promoting a healthy new collagen layer.

During your consultation, your skin type and scar will be evaluated and a customized treatment program will be developed. This may include a combination of treatments to optimize your results. In some cases, certain types of scars can only be improved and not completely eliminated. Your treatment expectations and results will be thoroughly discussed during your consultation.

Laser Skin Tightening / Cellulite Reduction

This is a series of laser treatments designed to stimulate collagen production within the dermis and aid in the regeneration of damaged cells.

How It Works

Laser energy targets fibroblasts in the dermis, triggering a response of collagen production and increased cell turnover.

Laser Skin tightening procedure can be performed any where on the body where there is lax skin, stretch mark and or cellulite i.e.; Arms, Abdomen, Thighs, Neck.

For noticeable results, 6 to 8 treatments are recommended.

Your targeted treatment protocol will be determined during consultation

Most Patients see a gradual tightening over 3-6 months as new collagen continues to form.

Laser Vein Therapy

Laser Vein Therapy is extremely safe and effective for treating leg veins, as well as for veins that are visible on the face, neck, chest, and just about anywhere else. Laser Vein Therapy offers the solution to a wide range of aesthetic vascular conditions, including distended capillaries, spider veins and reticular veins.

How many treatments are required?

The number of treatments necessary to resolve vein concerns depends largely on the size of the veins to be treated and the body’s ability to heal. During an initial consultation, patients receive an evaluation and are given an estimated number of required treatments needed to obtain optimal results.

What does the treatment involve?

Treatment may vary in length from 15 to 30 minutes. Heat from the laser damages vein walls. As a result, the body induces a natural healing process. Veins then shrink and become less visible and sometimes disappear entirely. Laser therapy allows for customized treatment of virtually every small vein disorder, including deep veins and vein that do not respond favorably to other treatment methods.

What are the side effects?

Pain is generally mild swelling and minor bruising may occur but quickly resolves over time. Limiting your sun exposure will greatly minimize the risk of complication.
