Pigmented Lesions
Laser hair removal:
What is the difference between the IPL and 755 Alexandrite?
IPL stands for intense pulse light. The IPL is used for sun damaged skin, brown spots and uneven skin tones. It has also been
used to increase collagen and improve acne scars when used in
addition with the LaserFacial treatment. The 755 can be used
for the same treatments except it covers a smaller area at a time
and the spectrum of light is more direct.
How many treatments can I expect?
It may take several treatments to get the desired results. We say
to expect up to 5 in most cases it can take less and in rare cases
not help at all.
What does it feel like?
It may feel like a rubber band snap, but is usually very minimal.
What can I expect after treatment?
Usually within approximately 20 minutes you will see a slightly
darker color of the area treated. It can take up to 3 weeks for the
discoloration to slough off. It may feel like a slight sunburn
sensation for a few days following the treatment. In some cases
it may look like a superficial bun and in rare cases a blister may
appear. It is very important to follow all post treatment instructions and stay out of the sun for at least a 4 week period following treatment to avoid irritation to the treated area. If you cannot avoid sun exposure then a sunscreen of no less than 30 SPF
should be used.
How do I prepare for the treatments?
It is very important for you to stay out of the sun as you can
cause discoloration in the area treated. We recommend a 4
weeks prior and throughout the treatment series. If you cannot
avoid sun exposure you should use a minimum sun screen
protection of 30 SPF or higher.

Laser Hair Removal
How does the laser remove hair?
The laser emits a beam of light that is attracted to the pigment or
melanin in the hair follicle that is in an active growing cycle. Pre
-determined pulse duration and energy setting are directed at and
absorbed by the hair follicles, disabling the growth of the follicles, resulting in quick, safe and effective hair removal.
What is the advantage of using a laser?
Lasers are precise instruments that can be adjusted to the exact
parameters that will specifically disable the hair follicle. The
laser uses a wide beam that treats many hairs at once instead of
treating hair-by-hair like electrolysis. Because of this, large
areas such as your legs, arms or back can be treated in a short
period of time. You will see results that last far longer than
tweezing, waxing, shaving, chemical depilation or other temporary methods.
What does the laser treatment feel like?
The treatment does have a slight prickly or stinging sensation.
Most of our clients are able to tolerate the treatment without
difficulty. However, since every person’s level of sensitivity is
different and treatment areas may vary, a topical numbing cream
is available.
What happens to the skin after laser treatment?
Reddening of the skin is the desired reaction. The redness usually subsides within a few minutes to a few hours and returns to
normal. Since the laser is not invasive in any way, no bandages
are necessary. You are able to re-apply your make-up, return to
work and continue with your normal daily activities immediately following treatment.
How many laser treatments will I need?
It has been our experience that most of our patients are able to
discontinue treatments, knowing they will probably need an
occasional touchup, after an average of 5-6 treatments, providing that the recommended treatment schedule is followed. It is
also important to understand that results may vary depending on
the individual’s hair type, their stress levels, certain medications
and different hormone levels. Keep in mind some individual’s
will require fewer treatments and some will require more treatments depending on the results desired.
Is laser hair removal permanent?
The FDA has cleared laser hair removal, regardless of the laser,
for “Permanent Hair Reduction” only. Based on our experience
we believe that the hair treated will probably not re-grow. Each
individual’s treatment response may be different because of
their hair or skin type. There are between 500 and 1000 follicles
per square cm, of which many are dormant at the time of treatment, we have no way of knowing if and when they may start
growing due to stress levels, certain medications and different
hormone levels.
What to expect after laser treatment:
After your initial treatment, you should enjoy a significant reduction of hair. However, it will take 2-4 weeks for the treated
hair to push its way to the surface and fall out. With each treatment, the hair in the active growing phase will be effectively
treated. A follow up appointment is scheduled 4-8 weeks after each
treatment. With that in mind, remember the importance of maintaining
your follow up appointments.
What if I have gray, white, blonde, red or light fine hair?
Since laser is attracted to the pigment in the hair follicle, these hair
colors may not have enough pigment to be successfully treated with
the laser. If this applies to you, we may want to try a test spot to see if
your hair responds to the laser.
LaserFacial
What does LaserFacial do?
LaserFacial is a non-ablative procedure that can reduce visible facial
vessels, diffuse redness, acne scars, Rosacea, sun damages, and large
pores. It has been FDA cleared to reduce wrinkles by gently warming
the upper dermis, improving the appearance of your skin. The result is
a healthy looking and vibrant appearance.
The LaserFacial difference:
The LaserFacial procedure utilizes laser technology that can safely,
discretely and effectively treat small targets. Unlike many other treatment methods, LaserFacial is a comfortable, non-ablative form of skin
therapy. This means you will be able to see subtle yet consistent results
after each treatment, without unwanted side effects such as bruising or
excessive skin irritation. Your therapy can be performed in a relaxed,
comfortable manner without the use of general or local anesthesia, gel
or cream.
What areas can be treated?
Unlike many other procedures available today, with LaserFacial skin
therapy, your physician can safely treat all areas. The most common is
facial and neck.
What are facial vessels, telangiectasia and diffused redness?
Telangiectasia or facial vessels are dilated capillaries that commonly
appear on the surface of the face and in areas around the nose, cheeks
and above the neckline. Capillaries are tiny blood vessels that are
present throughout the body. Prolonged sun exposure, aging, trauma
and other factors can cause capillaries to become dilated and visible.
There is also a hereditary factor in developing facial telangiectasia.
LaserFacial therapy will help your appearance by treating any visible
trace of these unsightly veins. Diffuse redness is a general appearance
of facial redness, such as rosy cheeks. As with facial telangiectasia,
this condition is a result of dilated capillaries, however the appearance
is more of a general redness rather than discrete well-defined vessels.
The most commonly affected areas are the nose, forehead and cheeks.
Diffuse redness is often associated with a condition called Rosacea
that can be hereditary. LaserFacial therapy will help your appearance
by gently treating and reducing this condition.
What can I expect before the treatment?
There are no complicated pretreatment rituals with this procedure.
Prior to the actual LaserFacial treatment you will be asked to remove
your make-up or moisturizers and, in some cases, you may be asked to
shave the area to be treated so as not to interfere with the laser treatment. Your physician will review and assist with all pretreatment
requirements. There are no numbing creams used in this procedure.
How many treatments do I need?
The treatment results are often very subtle. On average you may
require 4-6 treatments in order to achieve the results you are looking for. Every patient’s condition and needs vary. Some conditions
may require more treatments. It is important for the clinical staff to
have a clear understanding of you expectations to make sure they
are realistic with this type of procedure. For more information
about your expected results or the number of treatments necessary,
consult your physicians.
Is the treatment painful?
No, LaserFacial is a comfortable, non-ablative, non-invasive treatment. Unlike other laser treatments it does not wound the skin’s
surface therefore virtually eliminating the need for complicated
post treatment care. Typically patients describe the treatment as
gentle warming of the surface.
Laser Vein Removal
Will laser therapy work on my leg veins?
Although there is no way to tell for sure which veins will respond,
a consultation with the doctor to evaluate and access your veins
will be required. Prior surgery or treatment on your veins could
affect the treatment outcome. In some cases, further testing may be
recommended to determine if there are any underlying venous
problems.
What does it feel like?
Although many patients report little or no discomfort, some may
experience a mild stinging sensation when the laser pulse is delivered.
How long will the treatment take?
Treatment time should be 15-30 minutes but may vary depending
on the number and size of the vessel(s) to be treated.
How many treatments will I need?
In many cases, significant improvements are realized in as few as
1-3 treatments. In some cases new spider veins may appear, therefore, an additional treatment (s) may be necessary. Treatments are
at 8 week intervals.
When can I resume normal activities?
Although we encourage you to resume normal activities almost
immediately, we do as that you refrain from vigorous exercise and
avoid hot tubs for at least 24 hours post treatment. Also avoid
direct sun exposure after treatment and if you do go in the sun,
protect the treated area with a minimum SPF 30 Sun Block (not
sunscreen).
What will the laser do to the veins?
When treating vascular lesions, the blood temperature at the targeted area is elevated to a level that causes coagulation without
damage to the epidermis or surrounding tissue. Because the laser
energy is absorbed by melanin in the epidermis as well as the
desired target of hemoglobin, the SmartCool system is used to
cool and protect the epidermis. Multiple treatments may be necessary to obtain a satisfactory response for some leg veins.
