Vascular-Pulsed Dye Laser (VBeam)

The Pulsed Dye Laser is a safe, effective method for treating benign vascular lesions such as facial veins, scars, red birthmarks, angiomas and warts. It is also beneficial for the flushing redness and enlarged capillaries and sensitivity associated with rosacea.

Rare side effects may include purpura (bruise), redness and swelling in the treated area. The redness slowly resolves over 4-6 weeks. Repeat treatments maybe needed to optimize results.

 

Intense Pulsed Light - Photofacial (StarLux)

Photofacial™ treatments use Intense Pulsed Light to reduce or eliminate blemishes in the face, neck, hands, and body. This gentle, non-invasive procedure improves the cosmetic appearance of the skin and treats conditions such as rosacea, spider veins, skin imperfections caused by the sun, "age spots," and uneven sun damaged skin tone.

Significant improvement is seen with each treatment, but a series of treatments is recommended for optimal results.

The StarLux IPL Photofacial is a procedure that will eliminate or greatly reduce the affects of decades of sun exposure and the natural passage of time.

 

Laser Hair Removal

For many women and men, unwanted hair can be a nuisance. Until recently, removing it was uncomfortable, inconvenient, expensive and time-consuming. With the exception of electrolysis, which can be prohibitively expensive and painful, most other methods are temporary at best.

Today, with the remarkable advances in laser technology, unwanted hair is being removed safely and affordably. Laser Hair Removal has been extensively researched, tested and proven highly effective in reducing unwanted hair. It works on any area of the body where hair reduction is desired - underarms, face, neck, legs, shoulders, back, bikini line.

The pigment in the hair follicle absorbs the laser light and converts the light to heat. The heat, in turn, damages the follicle and affects its ability to re-grow. It is important to treat each follicle during the growth cycle for maximum hair reduction. Significantly less hair grows back with each treatment, ultimately resulting in your goal of long lasting hair reduction. The number of treatments required varies by individual and by the body area treated.

Due to the lack of pigment, white, blonde, and red hair responds poorly to laser hair removal. Our experienced staff will work with you in designing a schedule to optimize your results.
