Laser Hair Removal Side Effects and Risks?
What are the side effects or risks of Laser Hair Reduction?
Jul 20, 2021
Hello, thank you for your question. The side effects of laser hair removal should be minimal. A common reaction after the treatment is perifollicular Edema (Redness around hair follicles), this should only last an hour or two, but sometimes can last a bit longer. The important thing to be considered when performing LHR is the patients skin type (color: light to dark, Skin type I-VI) If the proper laser wavelength is used, there should be no complications. In our facility, our device has 2...
Most effective treatment for facial veins?
Best treatment for facial veins?
Jul 19, 2021
Hello, Thank you for your question and for including a photo. IPL is a light device, and is not really strong enough to collapse these vessels. Here in our office we use the v-beam (Candela) to collapse and resolve unwanted vascular lesions. If the vessel is darker, and a bit deeper, we use the YAG (1064nm) wavelength to resolve the vessels. These types of devices are much more effective than a light device. You can learn more about both of these devices by clicking on the link below...
How Much Does CoolSculpting by Zeltiq Cost?
How much does CoolSclpting Cost?
May 25, 2021
Hello, thank you for your question. Pricing may vary from market to market slightly, but just about everyone offers discount pricing on multiple applications. 1-2 applications would be more expensive per application then say 6-8 applications. It is best to schedule a consultation so that it can be determined how many applications you will need to get the desired results. A single application will reduce the fat cells in the treated area by 20-25%. This is not a huge reduction, many...
Ulthera vs. other HIFU / Ultrasound machines?
Ultherapy vs. other HIFU devices? Which is best?
May 20, 2021
Hello, Thank you for your question. Ultherapy is the only FDA approved device for tightening of the skin on the face and décolleté'. The other device you may have been offered, probably does not go as deep as the Ultherapy device, but keep in mind, with the Ultherapy device many do not "topically numb" with cream anyway because the energy bypasses the surface and is delivered deep in the tissue. Be careful to choose a experienced provider and device that is FDA approved.

Thanks!

What is the Best Laser for Skin Tightening?
What is the best laser for Skin Tightening?
Apr 21, 2021
Hello, thank you for your question. Here in our practice we treat our patients for skin tightening/lifting with Ultherapy. Ultherapy is not a laser, it is Ultrasound energy. As the only FDA-cleared, non-invasive procedure that lifts the neck, chin and brow, and improves lines and wrinkles on the upper chest (decolletage), Ultherapy goes deeper to stimulate production of your body's own collagen and elastin. The other thing that is amazing about the procedure is that there is NO downtime! ...
I've Recently Had my First Tattoo Removal Laser Session Done and I Have Seen VERY Minimal Results, Is
First tattoo removal session done, see VERY minimal results, is this typical?
Apr 21, 2021
Hello, Thank you for your question. The laser tattoo removal process is a long process. I pretty much tell our patients that it will take at least a year to rid the skin of ink. The laser is shattering the ink into tiny particles that the body can absorb. The body takes time to process and remove these ink particles. At our clinic, we use the Candela PicoWay laser. The PicoWay Laser uses photoacoustic impact/pressure waves rather than photothermal/heat. This process has less heat,...
Is it typical for only the top of forearm to be treated during laser hair removal?
Is it typical to only treat the top of forearm as opposed to the entire forearm?
Apr 15, 2021
Hello, Thank you for your question. This seems a bit peculiar. That being said, there is usually a lot more hair follicles on the top of the forearm as opposed to the underside of the forearm. Many times, the hair on the underside of the forearm can be very fine, almost white follicles. Fine white follicles do not respond well to laser as there is no target (pigment). If the hairs on the underside of your forearm have pigment, then definitely you can use laser to remove those hairs and it...
How Much Does Laser Hair Removal Cost?
How Much does Laser Hair Removal Cost?
Apr 14, 2021
Hello, thank you for your question. First, it all depends on what area(s) are being treated, basically, how much time is necessary to complete the treatment. Small areas like face, under arms or bikini line will cost less than doing full legs, or full back. All areas require multiple treatments, repeat visits are based on the "growth cycle" of the hair follicles. A small area can range between $50-$100 per treatment. Some places will allow you to pay as you go, and some want the full...
What Risks Are Involved with Ultherapy?
What are risks involved with Ultherapy?
Apr 14, 2021
Hello, thank you for your question. We have been providing our patients with the Ultherapy treatment now for almost 10 years. It is our belief that the device is very safe, when used by an experienced provider. It is one of the only devices that actually allow you to see "where" you are treating. It is Ultrasound, therefore you can actually look at the patients tissue depth as well as see where the bones are in the face. White lines are drawn on the face for guidance.. There are lines on...
Treatment for Broken Capillaries on Face
Treatment for Broken Capillaries on Face
Apr 14, 2021
Hello, Thank you for your question. IPL is not the best device for vascular irregularities, it does well on pigment, but minimal on vascular. The are lasers that exist that target only the blood vessels and spares all of the surrounding tissue. The target of the laser is the vessel, the energy heats the vessel causing it to collapse and your body will pull the blood from the vessel. We use the Candela V-Beam in our practice, many times vessels can be resolved in one treatment, but it may...

Venus Lake on lip, what is the best laser and is it permanent?
Mar 29, 2021
Hello, thank you for your question and for including a photo. The V-Beam Perfecta, manufactured by Candela Medical can be used very successfully for the treatment of venus lakes. Perfecta’s 595 nm wavelength perfectly blends depth of penetration into tissue and high absorption of hemoglobin.
The distinctive, cryogen-based Dynamic Cooling Device™ (DCD™)makes the treatment more comfortable.
It may resolve with 1 treatment, but many times a couple of treatment will be necessary. Once the v...

Broken Capillaries and spider veins around the nose?
Mar 24, 2021
Hello, thank you for your question. The way we treat vessels on the face is with laser. The V-Beam, manufactured by Candela Medical is a very successful device for clearing these unwanted vessels. The V-Beam Perfecta’s 595 nm wavelength perfectly blends depth of penetration into tissue and high absorption of hemoglobin (blood). It's target is blood and all the surrounding tissue is left un-effected.
The distinctive, cryogen-based Dynamic Cooling Device™ (DCD™) makes the treatment more ...
How Much Hair Should Fall Out After Session of Laser Hair Removal (Bikini)?
How much hair should fall out after a session of laser hair removal?
Mar 24, 2021
Hello, Thank you for your question. Laser hair reduction is a series of treatments because there is only about 20% of your total hair follicles in the "growth cycle" at any one time. That means that the 20% that is currently in the growth cycle will be affected during 1 single treatment. The four phases of hair growth include anagen, catagen, telogen, and exogen. Each phase lasts for a different length of time. Different areas of the body have a more rapid "growth cycle" like the face,...
What Tattoo Ink Colors Are Easiest to Remove?
What color ink is the easiest to remove with laser tattoo removal?
Mar 22, 2021
Hello, thank you for your question. Black is the easiest color to resolve as it is the darkest target when it comes to colors. Other ink colors can be seen by other wavelengths, and most colors actually do have some black in them. The PicoWay Laser (Candela/Syneron) uses photoacoustic impact/pressure waves rather than photothermal/heat. This process has less heat, therefore it is more comfortable and the chances of hyperpigmentation are less. The Pico-second pulse shatters the ink into...
Is it possible to remove my black ink tattoos and what is the risk of permanent scarring?
Possible to remove black tattoo completely? What are the scarring risks?
Mar 18, 2021
Hello, thank you for your question and for including a photo. Black ink is the easiest color to target and remove. The newer technology available for laser tattoo removal is definitely much more safe and less likely to cause any scarring. The PicoWay Laser (Candela/Syneron) uses photoacoustic impact/pressure waves rather than photothermal/heat. This process has less heat, therefore it is more comfortable and the chances of hyperpigmentation are less. The Pico-second pulse shatters the ink...
