Facial Lasers
Advanced laser technology targets skin concerns, including fine lines, sun damage, acne scars, and uneven texture. The treatment delivers controlled light energy to stimulate natural collagen production and cell renewal, helping improve skin tone and texture. Most clients need 3-6 sessions for optimal results, with improvements visible after the first treatment.
Laser Hair Removal
A precise treatment that targets unwanted hair at the follicle level, providing a long-term solution for hair reduction. The pigment in hair follicles absorbs the laser light, effectively turning off future growth. The treatment area includes the face, underarms, legs, back, and bikini line. It usually takes 6-8 sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart for lasting results.
This treatment breaks down tattoo ink particles using specific wavelengths of light, allowing your body to remove the pigment naturally over time. Different wavelengths target ink colors, making them practical for black and colored tattoos. The process typically requires 8-12 sessions spaced 6-8 weeks apart, gradually fading after each treatment.

FAQ's
Who is a good candidate?
Laser Treatments work well for adults who want better skin or to remove unwanted hair or tattoos. While traditional lasers worked best on light skin with dark hair, new technology now safely treats various skin types.
When will I see the results?
Results from Laser Treatments vary by procedure. Skin rejuvenation shows initial improvement within 1-2 weeks, with continued enhancement over 2-3 months. For optimal results, hair removal requires 6-8 sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart. Tattoo removal typically needs 8-12 sessions, with fading visible after each treatment.
How long do results last?
The duration of Laser Treatment results depends on the procedure and aftercare. Skin rejuvenation results can last 1-2 years with good skincare and sun protection. Hair removal results are permanent for treated follicles, though hormonal changes may activate new growth. Tattoo removal results are permanent after completing the entire treatment series.
Is there any downtime or side effects?
Laser Treatments typically have minimal downtime. Most patients experience temporary redness and mild swelling lasting 24-72 hours. More intensive treatments may require 5-7 days of social downtime. Common side effects include slight discomfort, redness, and sensitivity similar to a sunburn. There are few serious side effects when qualified professionals perform the procedure.
What should I do before and after this treatment?
Before laser treatments, avoid sun exposure, use self-tanners, and use specific skincare products for 2 weeks. Stop blood-thinning supplements and avoid alcohol 48 hours before treatment. After treatment, apply broad-spectrum SPF 30+ daily, avoid direct sun exposure, use gentle skincare products, and stay away from hot showers, saunas, and strenuous exercise for 24-48 hours.
What can I expect during this treatment?
During Laser Treatments, you’ll receive protective eyewear while the provider guides the laser device across the treatment area. Most patients describe the sensation as mild snapping or warmth. It takes about 15 to 60 minutes to complete treatment, depending on the location. Comfort measures include cooling systems and topical numbing cream when needed.
