Laser hair removal

What is laser hair removal?: It is a series of light pulses that pass through your skin into your hair follicles. These light pulses stop the follicle from growing. Good-bye unwanted hair, hello silky skin!
How does it feel?: As the light pulses touch hair follicles, you will feel a series of pinpricks. Patients say this is more comfortable than other types of treatment. Your skin may be pink or red for no more than one day afterward. This is normal, and it fades quickly.
Will I need lots of treatments?: No. You will only need about 5 treatments, depending on the area being treated. Your hair grows in cycles. Some grow while others rest. With each treatment, we can only target active follicles.
How do I prepare for treatment?: Your complexion and how you react to sunlight will help us evaluate your case. In the month before treatment, wear SPF 15 or higher sunscreen, stay out of the sun as much as possible, and don’t go tanning. Also, don’t wax or have electrolysis during the month before treatment. Shave the area to be treated 1-3 days before treatment.

Microdermabrasion

What is Microdermabrasion?: It’s a treatment using micro crystals to smooth out the top layer of skin and help make you look young again.
What can it do for me?: These tiny particles gently treat acne, scarring, blemishes, wrinkles, and other skin problems.
How does the treatment feel?: You may feel a mild scratching sensation and your skin may be pink for a few hours afterward. Don’t worry — this quickly fades.
What else do I need to know?: Each treatment takes about 20 minutes. Depending on your skin, you may need several treatments to fully bring out your new skin.
What results should I expect?: Smoother skin and a happier you!
