Laser Procedures

Laser Body Hair Removal: Uses gentle laser light energy to remove hair from the facial area, bikini line, underarms, and legs. Safe for all skin types. Now you can enjoy freedom from waxing, shaving, plucking and electrolysis.

Laser Vein & Pigment Removal: Rid yourself of unwanted skin blemishes with our physician-directed laser procedures. A safe and comfortable way to achieve phenomenal results.

PhotoFacials/IPL: Perfect for skin that has experienced chronic over-exposure to the sun’s ultraviolet light. Coarse skin texture, irregular pigmentation, and enlarged blood vessels are visible improved with these laser and light-based techniques.

Laser Facial: By gently heating the upper dermis with laser energy well below your skin's surface, this treatment stimulates collagen re-growth. Additional heat is generated in dilated capillaries to reduce redness. A truly rejuvenating treatment.

Photo Dynamic Therapy (PDT): Used to treat acne, this procedure involves applying a topical medication, 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA), to the skin. The medication is left on the skin for a specified time. The area is then treated with blue light, IPL, or a pulsed dye laser to activate the topical medication, destroying the bacteria that causes acne.

Fraxel™ Laser Treatment: A revolutionary new way to correct aged and damaged skin—without the prolonged downtime or adverse reactions of other laser resurfacing procedures. Fraxel™ is the first and only system of its kind that has FDA clearances for these conditions:

* Wrinkles
* Fine Lines
* Irregular texture
* Sunspots and age spots (pigmented lesions)
* Sun-induced redness (vascular dsychromia)

Cynosure Laser Hair Removal

Almost everyone has unwanted hair somewhere on their body. Unfortunately, traditional hair removal routines can be tedious, painful and expensive over time. Shaving may last a day, waxing a couple of weeks, but none of them last forever - and therein lies the true beauty of laser hair removal.

Our Cynosure Elite removes unwanted hair with unsurpassed efficacy and client comfort. That's because its revolutionary technology combines two optimal wavelengths in one system: the 755-nm Alexandrite laser and the 1064-nm Nd:YAG laser.

To eliminate hair, the laser emits gentle pulses of energy that pass through the skin to the hair follicle. This energy is then absorbed into the hair follicle to destroy it so that is unlikely to grow there again.

Laser hair removal can be applied to all areas of the body and on all types of skin (even tanned or dark skin).

The laser treatment causes only minimal discomfort. No local anesthesia or pain medication is typically required; however some patients may prefer to use a topical anesthetic when sensitive areas are treated. Patients often say it feels similar to the snap of a rubber band. Slight redness or localized swelling similar to a sunburn can occasionally occur, but this usually subsides within the first 24 hours after treatment. In rare instances, blistering may occur. Three to seven days after treatment you may experience what seems to be regrowth of hair. Most of these hairs are being shed as a result of your treatment and are not regrowing. Between treatments you should not wax or pluck your hair, but it is permissible to shave.

Typically patients will see results in 4 - 6 treatments, though this number will vary based upon skin tone, hair color and several other factors. Interestingly, not all hairs are actively growing at the same time and actually go through three distinct phases: growth, regression, and resting. Cynosure treatments work by disabling the hair that is principally in the active growth phase at the time of treatment. Since other hairs will enter this active growth phase at different times, multiple treatments are necessary to disable all of the hair follicles in a given area. The doctor or clinical skincare specialist will talk to you about variables that may affect your individual results.
