Before the laser treatment begins, a cold gel is applied to the area being treated, and patients are given protective eyewear to wear throughout the procedure. Using the IPL hand piece, the aesthetician pulses light to the skin’s surface. Without damaging the skin, the laser is absorbed by the dilated vessels or pigmentation. The heat from the laser causes damage to the vessel or lesion, so the body begins a natural healing process. After the treatment is complete, patients can immediately return to normal activities. Redness or blotchiness may last for up to 1-2 hours after the procedure.

Minimal down time will be required with this procedure. Your face may appear red or flushed, which fades within a few hours.

Depending on the type and severity of your skin condition, a series of 3-5 treatments is recommended. Treatments are usually spaced 3-4 weeks apart.

For acne patients undergoing the Forever Clear BBL, ideally a set of 6-8 treatments would be performed at 1-2 week intervals.

The results achieved from the treatment series can be expected to last for several years or longer. However, skin ages as we do. The progress that has been achieved following the first series of multiple treatments will be better maintained by maintenance treatments, a few times per year.

After the treatment you may experience some skin redness and a sensation resembling a sunburn, as well as mild swelling. You will have minor peeling and itchiness the following day. By day two, redness will begin to fade and by day three any redness can be easily covered by makeup.

While the number of treatments may vary, amazing results can be seen in just one treatment. Typically, the procedure is repeated 2-4 times, spaced 6-8 weeks apart, but many peels may be done to achieve the desired result.

We often combine the ProFractional laser with a MicroLaserPeel to further enhance your treatment results.

Because only the outer layer of skin is treated, most patients notice an obvious improvement in tone, texture and color evenness once the skin heals in approximately 3-4 days.

The healing process varies from patient to patient but will generally take from two to seven days. Immediately following the procedure you will feel as if you have a sunburn. You will have minor peeling and itchiness the following day. By day two, the redness will begin to fade away.

Treatments are typically done in a series of one to four treatments spaced three to six weeks apart, depending on your needs and response to treatments. We often combine the ProFractional laser with a MicroLaserPeel to further enhance your treatment results.

You can expect to see results 2-5 days after your laser skin treatment, although this varies depending on the type and the depth of the treatment. One of the major benefits of this treatment is that results only get better with time. Pigmentation continues to improve for 2-3 weeks, and then the new collagen production continues for several months thereafter.

You may experience some lingering warmth, tightness, or redness in the treated area, which normally fades within 24 hours of treatment. Because so much of the skin is unaffected by the light pulses, there is a quick healing process.

A series of 3-4 treatments spaced a month apart is ideal for most patients. Optimal results are generally seen over a four to six month period. However, because each patient’s skin is different, the treatment number can vary. Our licensed laser technician will personalize a treatment plan based on the level of improvement you desire, and may combine SkinTyte with other popular aesthetic procedures as desired.

The SkinTyte procedure is not a substitute for a face-lift and results may vary from patient to patient. The majority of patients feel that their skin is tighter after just one treatment, but visible improvements generally take place over four to six months as the collagen foundation of your skin is rebuilt and strengthened.

The ClearScan light targets and heats the blood that is flowing through the targeted vessel. The heat energy then clots the blood inside the vessel causing it to collapse and seal.

For hair removal, the ClearScan laser gently heats your hair follicles, inhibiting future hair growth, without harming any surrounding skin.

Depending on the severity of the vascular condition, multiple treatments may be required. Improvement generally lasts for a number of years, but over time new veins will develop, requiring a touch-up treatment at a later date.

Some vessels may show visible disappearance immediately while other destroyed vessel’s response may be less visible or lighter in appearance. Laser vein treatment works by causing the unwanted vessel to collapse, and over a period of time, your body will slowly re-absorb that vessel, similar to a bruise healing. This process can take place over a period of several weeks.

With laser hair removal, the number of treatments will depend on each patient’s individual response to the laser hair reduction treatment and the amount of hair to be removed. Since hair cannot be completely lost, periodic maintenance treatments will be necessary to maintain your results.
