Cosmetic laser treatments have come a long way to correct the common skin problems most of us have. From brown spots, acne, fine lines and unsightly veins, these treatments will give your skin fast noticeable results! Healing time is virtually none, with no more hiding out for days after a treatment. Surgery is no longer a necessity when you can have results like these.

What are non-ablative lasers?

Non-ablative lasers are most commonly known or referred to as intense pulsed light (IPL). These lasers flash a spectrum of concentrated light to treat acne, veins, aging and discolorations without injury to the skin. There is minimal or no downtime with very little discomfort. The option of a topical anesthetic is available for more intense laser treatments.

Before your Treatment

With any laser treatment it is best to avoid sun exposure two weeks prior to and after the treatment. Excessive sun exposure can contribute to your condition and affect your results.

Before having your laser treatment, prepare your skin in advance by avoiding waxing, tweezing and using abrasive products that may irritate the skin. For best results follow the pre and post care instructions given by your physician or skin care specialist.

Problem: Tattoos
Solution: Laser Tattoo Removal

Did you think about how hard it is to get rid of a tattoo when you decided to get one? Tattoos are created by injecting colored pigment into small deep holes made in the skin. Regardless of whether a tattoo artist or an untrained individual injects the pigment, the marks or designs are relatively permanent. The Q-switched Nd:YAG laser is the most frequently used laser for tattoo removal. Q-Switched Nd:Yag lasers emit certain wavelengths of light that attack and destroy colors of ink most commonly found in tattoos. Expect as many as six to 12 sessions spaced six to eight weeks apart for total removal. There may be crusting and scabbing, possible discoloration along with permanent thickening and constriction of the skin.
