Light & Laser Treatments

IPL PhotoFacial

This Intense Pulsed Light system penetrates deep beneath the skin’s surface using a broad-spectrum light source that stimulates collagen and new tissue production. An advanced technology that addresses sun damage, rosacea, enlarged pores, age spots, wrinkles, even bags under the eyes among other issues on the face, neck and chest. After just one treatment which typically lasts 30 minutes, you’ll notice a difference, however, more treatments will be necessary to experience maximum results. The procedure can produce some brief discomfort but there is no downtime and following each treatment, you’ll enjoy seeing a more youthful, even-toned, smoothness to your skin.

Laser Hair Removal

A non-surgical procedure that reduces the growth of hair and eventually eliminates the need for shaving, waxing, bleaching or electrolysis. Utilizing a combination of energy and heat that destroys the follicle without harming the surrounding skin, several sessions will be necessary in order to remove hair that surfaces during different growth cycles, generally four to ten weeks apart. With minimal discomfort that disappears almost immediately, the procedure can last anywhere from 15 to 40 minutes depending on the area being treated. The final outcome will save you valuable time and money. It might even have you wondering why you didn’t get Laser Hair Removal sooner.

CO2 Fractional Skin Resurfacing

This highly sophisticated and very precise laser gently removes top layers of damaged and/or aging skin. In its place, new skin cells emerge supported by laser-activated collagen formation. Fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes and the mouth are smoothed. Deep laugh and frown creases can be softened. Acne scars and some uneven surgical scars are rendered much less apparent to the eyes. Even delicate areas on the lips and eyelids can be rejuvenated. It is also effective on the neck and décolleté area as well. The CO2 Fractional Laser offers up results that are nothing short of remarkable and it can last for years with the proper skin care regimen and sunscreen.
