IPL – Intense Pulsed Light

Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) therapy is a non-invasive cosmetic treatment used to address various skin concerns.

Unlike a laser, which uses a single wavelength of light, IPL delivers multiple wavelengths of light to the skin.

This broad-spectrum light penetrates the skin and is absorbed by pigments (such as melanin) or blood vessels, which are then heated and destroyed without harming surrounding tissue.

Laser Hair Removal

Laser hair removal is a medical procedure that uses a laser — an intense, pulsating beam of light — to remove unwanted hair.

During laser hair removal, a laser beam passes through the skin to an individual hair follicle. The intense heat of the laser damages the hair follicle, which inhibits future hair growth.

Laser Genesis

Laser Genesis is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure that uses laser technology to rejuvenate the skin. It is designed to improve the appearance of acne, acne scars, fine lines, wrinkles, large pores, uneven skin tone, and texture.

The treatment involves using a laser device to gently heat the upper dermis (the layer of skin just below the surface) to stimulate collagen production and promote new skin cell growth.

Laser Skin Resurfacing

Erbium fractional laser resurfacing is a skin treatment that uses light energy to improve the appearance of the skin by treating wrinkles, age spots, and other imperfections.

Erbium Laser is less aggressive than CO2 fractional lasers but more aggressive than non-ablative fractional lasers. As such, they are able to deliver dramatic dermatological results (with less risk).

Erbium lasers can diminish wrinkles, improve pigmentation, and resurface the skin.

What can I expect during and after a laser treatment?

During a cosmetic laser treatment, you’ll have a consultation, followed by cleansing of the treatment area and protective eyewear. The laser is applied, causing sensations that can range from mild tingling to discomfort, often managed with topical anesthetics.

Afterward, expect redness, swelling, or mild discomfort similar to a sunburn, which usually subsides in a few days.

Peeling may occur as the skin heals, with results appearing within days to weeks and optimal improvements visible in about 4 to 12 weeks. Following post-treatment care, such as avoiding sun exposure, is crucial for healing and enhancing results.
