Laser treatments use concentrated light energy to target specific skin concerns, such as pigmentation, wrinkles, or hair removal. The laser’s energy is absorbed by the target, which can either be destroyed or stimulated to promote healing and rejuvenation, depending on the treatment type.

Laser treatments can address a wide range of skin concerns, including acne scars, fine lines, wrinkles, sun damage, age spots, vascular lesions, and unwanted hair. The specific type of laser used will depend on the issue being treated.

Laser treatments are generally safe when performed by trained professionals. Discomfort during the procedure is typically minimal and can vary depending on the treatment. Some lasers may cause a mild stinging or warming sensation, while others are virtually painless. Your provider can discuss pain management options if necessary.

Facials are skin treatments that can cleanse, exfoliate, hydrate, and rejuvenate the skin. They help improve skin texture, tone, and overall health. The recommended frequency of facials varies depending on your skin type and specific concerns, but they are often done every 4-6 weeks.

Most people can receive laser treatments and facials, but there are contraindications. For laser treatments, individuals with certain medical conditions, dark skin tones, or a recent tan may not be suitable candidates. Facials are generally safe for many skin types, but your esthetician will assess your skin and medical history to determine the best approach for you.
