If you haven’t heard, laser facial treatments are making (literal) waves in New York City and across the globe. When it comes to skincare, a lot of attention goes to topical approaches. Laser facials harness the power of technology and apply it to help improve a variety of skin concerns. There are so many options that it can sometimes be overwhelming to decide what’s best for your situation. We’re here to help! Below are some common facials concerns as well as the laser approaches that we can use to address them. If you have any additional questions, don’t hesitate to reach out. Knowledge is power, and we want to help you have healthy skin that you love!
Looseness
If your goal is to tighten up or tone loose skin, you’re going to love lasers and their abilities! These treatments stimulate the production of collagen and elastin beneath your skin to produce a firmer, more youthful appearance. A laser skin tightening procedure can be fully customized to help each patient receive the best possible results, depending on the skin condition, size, and location of the targeted area and the strength of the laser exposure. We work with both men and women, and many choose to focus on treating their necks and cheeks. Perhaps most excitingly, the technique is noninvasive, meaning there is no recovery or downtime before you’re able to go out and enjoy your day-to-day activities.
Hair
If you’re tired of dealing with shaving, waxing, tweezing and electrolysis, laser technology will be your new best friend! Our treatments provide long-lasting hair removal on any area of the body using just high-energy pulses of light. Say goodbye to unwanted hair on your upper lip, neck, and cheek lines, and hello to skin that’s smooth to the touch. How does it work? First, a cold gel is applied to the skin. Then a handpiece is moved back and forth across the selected area. The hair beneath the skin surface absorbs the light and heats up, loosening from the follicles and eventually falling out. Patients can return to work and all regular activities immediately after the procedure. The results are immediate and long-lasting, with some permanent thinning, though several treatments may be desired for optimal results. Clients who undergo this treatment report satisfaction and confidence. You can even take things to the next level by removing hair on your legs, underarms, back, and other areas of concern on your body.
Unevenness
An uneven skin tone can make it challenging to apply makeup and frustrating to go without. Likewise, skin that is covered with bumps and divots caused by acne and other issues can cause self-consciousness, whether you are giving a presentation in front of a large group or one-on-one with the date. If you’re dealing with any of these concerns, Fraxel technology might be the answer you’ve been looking for! During your treatment session, we will apply the laser only to the area you are concerned about. Think of this “fractional” technique as being like restoring a painting one tiny area at a time, or altering an electronic image pixel by pixel. It’s ideal for improving texture and tone; shrinking pore size; erasing brown spots; smoothing acne scars and wrinkles around the eyes.
