These procedures offer enhancements with quick recovery times. With all laser and pulse light treatments, fees vary based on treatment area. (Package pricing is available.)

Laser Hair Removal

Laser hair removal can safely remove unwanted body and facial hair without destroying the delicate pores and structure of the skin. The laser sends a beam of light to the hair follicles and destroys the hair bulb. The laser pulses for a fraction of a second, just long enough to vaporize the pigment which disables numerous follicles at a time, to eliminate or significantly impede hair growth. The lasers chill tip� protects and cools the upper layers of the skin before, during and after each pulse while directing the laser energy to the root.

Fractional Skin Resurfacing

To help achieve beautiful skin, Fractional Skin Treatments deliver light in an array of narrow, focused microbeams�, to create columns of heat within the skin. The heated tissue within the columns starts a natural healing process that forms new, healthy tissue. This results in a decrease in sunsports, fine lines, wrinkles, acne scarring, skin toning and a fresher more youthful skin tone and texture. The Fractional, non-ablative approach stimulates quick healing, while leaving your skin�s surface intact, with little down-time.

Photo Rejuvenation

Photo-rejuvenation uses a multi-frequency (non-ablative) laser pulsed on top of the skin to change the molecular structure and the appearance of again skin below the surface, giving it a tighter and younger look. Fine lines and wrinkles will fade and pores will reduce significantly. Patients with facial veins should see immediate results as the veins shut down�, which means they will turn from red to gray, then slowly fade away. Sunspots will turn darker in color and they will begin to flake off in 10 to 14 days. Patients with rosacea will see results after the first treatment, although you must complete your series of treatments, or your condition will return.

Photo Rejuventation (IPL) will help:

• Reduce fine lines
• Remove facial veins (telangiectasia)
• Reduce pore size
• Reduce skin redness
• Remove sun spots (face, chest, hands)
• Treat warts, condyloma, & keratosis

Acne Therapy

Laser therapy can help with many people troubled by problem and re-occuring acne. The laser employs a blue spectrum of light that is absorbed into the skin destroying the bacteria to inhibit future acne breakouts. Few, if any, side effects are typically experienced, compared to topical or oral medications.
