SOMETIMES MORE ISN’T BETTER
LASER HAIR REMOVAL:
THE GIFT YOU GIVE YOURSELF
Laser hair removal uses a low-energy laser to gently remove unwanted hair. Long-lasting, laser hair removal replaces shaving, waxing, and electrolysis leaving your skin smoother and silkier.
Laser hair removal treatments are effective on almost any area of the body where smoother, younger, hair-free skin is desired. Hair that does grow back will generally grow back slower, thinner, and lighter in color.
Usually multiple treatments are required to achieve optimum results. The number of treatments necessary varies by complexion, hair color, and area of the body being treated. Individuals with fair complexions and dark hair will see the most significant results. Those with fine, blond hair are not good candidates for this procedure as they will not see a result.
Prior to treatment, we recommend a consultation to determine if laser hair removal is right for you. |

Q: Is there anything I can do after a procedure to reduce bruising?
A: After a procedure such as a laser or an injectable filler, some bruising is normal. Applying ice or other cold compress will reduce swelling. Arnica gel, an over-the-counter product, is a very effective topical to reduce the appearance of bruising.
Q: Help! My hands look like skeleton hands! Is there any procedure that will make my hands look less bony?
A: Fillers like Juvéderm and Restylane, can plump up areas where the skin has grown thinner as we age. These fillers are composed of hyaluronic acids, a complex sugar that occurs in the body naturally. Results usually last six months or longer.

IPL PHOTO FACIAL LASER
FOR RED PIGMENTED SKIN
Besides tightening wrinkles and stimulating collagen growth for younger-looking skin, the Intense Pulsed Light Photo Facial can treat unwanted birthmarks, spider veins, age spots, sun spots, and freckles. Other conditions improved by IPL treatments are seborrheic keratosis, hyperpigmentation, port wine stains, and rosacea.
Both pigmented and vascular lesions are often treatable through a series of Photo Facials. Vascular lesions are skin blemishes due to abnormal blood vessels located under your skin’s surface giving the skin a reddish color. Pigmented lesions, usually brown in color, are caused by prolonged sun exposure. Freckles, for example, are pigmented lesions that can be improved by the IPL treatments.
The number of recommended treatments will depend on the size, location, depth, and color of your lesion. Age spots and spider veins often do well with one or two treatments. Other conditions may require a series of four to eight treatments. Before and after pictures are available in our office. |
