Most Popular Procedures

A laser facial is a non-invasive cosmetic treatment that uses laser technology to improve the appearance and texture of the skin. During a laser facial, a handheld device emits short bursts of laser light, which penetrate the skin and stimulate the production of collagen and elastin. This can help improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, and uneven skin tone.

There are several types of laser facials available, each using different types of lasers and wavelengths to address specific skin concerns. Some of the most common types of laser facials include:

Fractional Laser Resurfacing: This type of laser facial uses a fractionated laser to create microchannels in the skin, which stimulate the production of new collagen and elastin.

IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) Facial: This type of laser facial uses intense pulsed light to target pigmentation, redness, and other discoloration in the skin.

Non-Ablative Laser Facial: This type of laser facial uses a low-level laser to heat the deeper layers of the skin, stimulating collagen production and improving skin texture.

Multiple Treatment Options

Laser facials are generally considered safe and effective for most skin types. However, there may be some risks and side effects associated with the procedure, such as redness, swelling, and mild discomfort during the treatment. It’s important to discuss any potential risks with your skincare professional before undergoing a laser facial.

Most people will see an immediate improvement in the appearance of their skin after a single laser facial treatment, but a series of treatments spaced several weeks apart may be recommended for optimal and long-lasting results. It’s also important to maintain a good skincare routine and avoid excessive sun exposure after the procedure to help prolong the benefits of the treatment.
