Laser Hair Removal Laser Hair Removal Facial and body hair removal has become quite popular in the last two years. Hair removal was never a very complicated procedure. Options other than laser hair removal include shaving, waxing, plucking, electrolysis, and applied depilatory creams. Other than electrolysis, these methods have to be repeated often. While electrolysis is a more long-term form of hair removal, it is tedious and expensive. Now, both men and women can achieve permanent hair reduction through laser hair removal. The key to effective laser hair removal is twofold. Your skin and hair type must be matched with the proper medical laser, and the person performing your hair removal must have adequate experience in its use. At Cosmetic Laser Services, we have four entirely different lasers that can be used to make your treatment fast and effective. All of our practitioners are registered nurses and have been physician-trained and are required to enhance their knowledge through continuing education.  With laser hair removal, most people can successfully get rid of 90% or more of unwanted hair and are very happy with their new, smoother look. You can expect that you will need several treatments to get the best results. The number of treatments will vary with the areas treated and the type of hair to be removed. Women most often treat the lip and chin, bikini line, legs, underarms, and around the navel. Men usually treat the back, shoulders, and upper arms.About the Procedure Laser hair removal can take anywhere from five minutes (to remove hair on the lip) to forty-five minutes (to remove hair on the back and shoulders) depending on the area treated. During the treatment, you may experience a slight tingling sensation that most patients tolerate well. We will also cool your skin during the treatments, which also helps to reduce any discomfort. Whether your hair removal takes a few minutes or the better part of an hour, you can plan to return to work or to your normal daily routine immediately. However, it is important that the treated areas are shielded from the sun. You may use a sun block for this protection. The laser light achieves hair removal by destroying hair at its source, the base of the follicle under the skin. The laser will shoot a concentrated beam of light that passes through your surface skin and is preferentially absorbed at the base of the hair shaft. When the light is absorbed, it is converted to heat, a process that is similar to what happens inside a car that has been sitting in the sun. As the sun shines light into the car, the light is absorbed by the seats, wheel, and dashboard. It is then converted to heat, making them hot to the touch. The same happens to the hair shaft. Once the base of the hair follicle heats up, the ability to grow new hair is destroyed. Only hair in the active phase of growth can be effectively and permanently removed. Only a fraction of your hair follicles are in the active phase at any time. Thus, most people need multiple (usually 5-10) treatments to get the desired permanent effect. The risks involved with laser hair removal are minimal. Your eyes will be shielded to avoid injury. There is a small risk of pigment changes and we rarely see any blisters. Our aestheticians and physicians are trained to calibrate the laser to each individual's skin type because everyone reacts differently to the beam. You will be provided with any further information you need during your consultation regarding lasers and any risks associated with laser hair removal.

Rosacea is a disorder of the face that results in redness, prominent blood vessels, swelling of pores, and skin eruptions similar to acne. Also called "adult acne", the cause of rosacea is unknown. It occurs most often in fair skinned people, particularly those who blush easily. Women are more commonly affected, although men are more severely affected. Symptoms usually begin to appear between ages 30 to 50, and the disorder is most often seen in middle-aged or older people.
 While rosacea cannot be cured, its symptoms can be controlled and your appearance can be treated. The best way to control rosacea is to avoid the triggering events such as prolonged periods of sun exposure, nicotine, caffeine, and alcohol. Heat and rich foods can also contribute to the effects of rosacea. While topical creams may help control rosacea, the best way to improve your appearance is with light-based treatments such as intense pulsed light and laser. Treatments must be individualized depending on the severity of your condition and the symptoms you want treated. At Cosmetic Laser Services our registered nurses will design a treatment plan to meet your needs. Armed with a variety of laser and light-based equipment, the redness, broken capillaries, and enlarged blood vessels can often be reduced in only a few visits. Spider Vein Therapy
Spider veins form when excess blood backs up in the blood stream. The body releases this pressure by developing new veins. Not only are spider veins unsightly, but they can also cause aching, swelling, burning, and night cramps in the legs. Reticular veins are those blue veins that lie well below the skin's surface and are larger than the spider veins. They often are the source of spider veins and must also be removed in order to achieve a long-term result in your treatment. Finally, varicose veins are quite large, and tend to bulge with a rope-like texture on the skin's surface. They are likely to cause pain and be related to more serious vein disorders. The treatment of varicose veins is usually outside the realm of treatments available at Cosmetic Laser Services and are best treated by a vascular surgeon. Sclerotherapy is a tedious process which involves injecting each vein, but Cosmetic Laser Services treatments involve no painful injections! Used by many leaders in the medical field, Cosmetic Laser Services laser has a special adjustable handpiece that allows your practitioner to customize the treatment to your vein removal needs.
Facial Rejuvenation Non-ablative laser treatment delivers pulses of light to the skin. The light is absorbed by tiny blood vessels in the skin. This stimulates cells called fibroblasts, which triggers the formation of collagen. Loss of collagen is one of the factors that diminishes skin tone and causes wrinkles. After the age of 40, collagen may be lost at the rate of 1% per year. Other factors include sun-damage, hormones, smoking, and alcohol. As the collagen is replenished, it fills in the cracks and voids of wrinkles, giving your skin more texture and a smoother appearance.

It is estimated that over 50 million Americans are bothered by the appearance of veins on their thighs, calves, and ankles. These veins can either be small, thin capillaries (spider veins) or larger veins that we call reticular veins. The very largest veins are called varicose veins. There are many factors that contribute to the development of these unsightly veins including pregnancy, weight gain, prolonged standing, and even genetics.
Aging and sun-damaged skin now can have a more vibrant, healthy appearance by taking advantage of the newest technology - non-ablative laser resurfacing. Non-ablative means no burning and no wounding. This means no recovery time, return to your normal activities immediately! |
