Solution | Who benefits | How it works | Advantages | What to expect | How long effects last | Treatments |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Hair removal/ permanent hair reduction | Most effective on medium to dark hair. | Treatments impair the growth capacity of hair follicles when they are in active growth stage. | Faster and less painful than electrolosis; more permanent than shaving, tweezing or waxing. | May feel a slight warm sting as laser penetrates hair follicle. Might experience slight redness for a day. | Hair density, age and hormones can affect results. | Typically 5-8 treatments (package pricing available) |
Acne treatment | Anyone with acne. | Green laser light is delivered through the skin, triggering bodies’ natural bacteria fighting defenses. This reduces severity of current and future outbreaks. | Immediately return to normal activities; no side effects associated drug therapies; safe | Treatment area will be covered with a thin layer of gel. Nurse will glide laser over area brushing motion as light is pulsed through skin. | See improvements in four 20 minute treatments. | Many patients continue to improve in months following treatment; some plateau and need repeated treatments (package pricing available) |
Spider Veins | Effective for most people. Works best on smaller veins. | Laser light is delivered through skin and into veins. Veins walls collapse and seal shut. Sealed vein is broken down and absorbed by the body. | Effective, fast, safe, no recovery time | Thin layer of gel is applied to skin. Laser handpiece is directed over the vein, which usually disappears after a single pass. Anesthetic cream can be used to reduce mild sting. | Appearance of existing veins will be permanently diminished or eliminated. The development of new veins cannot be prevented. | Some patients are satisfied after one treatment; others require two or more (package pricing available) |
Wrinkles fine lines, sun damage, age spots, pigmented lesions | Most skin types and colors | The laser corrects pigmentation, irregularities and encourages new collagen growth to smooth out existing wrinkles. | Gentle; no recovery time; safe for face, chest, neck and hands | Cooling gel applied over treatment area. The cooled laser wand is placed on the skin. When the energy is applied, it feels like a warm pulse against the skin. | Improvements are gradual—usually over 12 weeks. The laser’s encouragement of new collagen growth should help slow the appearance of new wrinkles. Sun blocks are critical to prevent new sun damage. | Usually 3-8 treatments (package pricing available) |
