Laser Services Q&A


Can laser treatments help me look younger?

Laser skin restoration treatments can help you look younger by treating age-related skin problems, including: 

Age spots

Age spots are areas of darker pigmentation on the face, hands, chest, arms, or other areas. They usually occur after years of sun exposure. While not harmful, they’re often a distressing symbol of the passage of time. 

Spider veins

Spider veins are tiny threadlike veins that can appear on the face and legs. As you age, you’re more likely to develop spider veins due to strain on vein valves, environmental exposure, and other causes. Dermatological conditions like rosacea also cause visible spider veins around the nose and cheeks.

Fine lines and wrinkles

Fine lines and wrinkles are common signs of aging skin. They occur due to a natural decrease in collagen (the protein forming a support matrix under your skin), elastin (a skin-tightening protein), and hyaluronic acid (a natural moisturizer and skin-plumping substance). Fine lines and wrinkles can appear in any part of the face, neck, and chest. 

 

Along with anti-aging benefits, laser treatment can significantly improve your skin’s overall brightness, tone, and texture. 

Do laser treatments remove hair permanently?

Intense pulsed light (IPL), a light-based treatment, can permanently reduce unwanted hair on your:

 

  • Face
  • Legs
  • Bikini area
  • Back
  • Chest
  • Underarms
  • Lower arms

 

If you have unwanted hair somewhere else, don’t hesitate to mention it to the team. They can personalize your laser treatment to give you permanent hair reduction nearly anywhere on your body.  

How do laser treatments work?

Laser treatments focus light energy and deliver it into the deeper layers of the skin. This treatment approach allows for excellent aesthetic results without damaging the superficial skin layers. 

 

With laser skin restoration, the laser light stimulates a healing response in your dermal skin layer, where you make collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid. It helps you produce more of these substances to enhance nearly every aspect of your skin health and appearance. 

 

With age spots and spider veins, the laser targets the unwanted area and prompts healing here. For example, laser light can seal spider veins closed. With laser hair removal, the laser targets the hair root, destroying the melanin and damaging the root walls so it can’t make new hair.
