Laser Treatments

Our xeo laser is an excellent option for permanently removing unwanted facial hairs. Common areas of treatment include the chin, upper lip, and eyebrow area.

This laser is FDA-cleared for treatment of all skin types. The Nd:YAG 1064nm wavelength selectively targets the hair follicle, where the heat damages the hair structure.

In the month leading up to your treatment, it's important not to pluck the areas to be treated. The hair needs to be present in order to be treated. Shaving is okay, just no plucking or tweezing. Hair must be brown or black. Laser light is not absorbed by white, gray, red or light-blond hair.

Because of the hair growth life cycle, a series of treatments is needed to maximize hair reduction. You will still see hairs if you do not do the required series. Patients usually need anywhere from 6-8 treatments spaced 6-12 weeks apart.

Laser vein therapy effectively treats small facial veins and leg veins. Treatment is directed at vessels smaller than 3mm in diameter. This treatment is quick, and safe for any skin type. It uses light energy to coagulate the blood within the vein, and eventually destroys the vessel. The body will reabsorb the blood and direct the blood flow to veins deeper underneath the skin’s surface.

During the treatment, patients may experience a stinging sensation from the laser. Following the treatment, some redness, bruising, or swelling may occur, however, these effects typically last less than 24 hours.

It is important that you avoid strenuous activity 24 hours after treatment, use sunscreen on the treated area if exposed to sun, and limit any sun exposure.

The number of treatments will depend on the number, color, and size of the vessels being treated.
