Yes, advanced light systems have been used safely for millions of treatments worldwide. These systems treat only the targeted tissues, leaving the surrounding tissue intact. However, some redness may occur.

Yes, laser and light-based treatments have been used for many years for a variety of medical and cosmetic procedures. Candela, the most trusted name in the industry, has pioneered the development of some of the safest and most effective technologies and products available on the market today.

YES! It has been proven in numerous studies that LED photo rejuvenation does not harm the human body in any way. The light waves are safe for any age, color, or skin type. The light energy delivered cannot burn sensitive skin tissue. NO! Unlike many other anti-aging treatments, LED light therapy is gentle, painless, safe, noninvasive and nonabrasive. There have been no reports of adverse reactions.

In general, most procedures have a low risk of adverse side effects. Some patients experience pigment changes in the skin color. If this occurs, the skin will typically return to normal pigmentation over time. All treatment results are individual.

The FDA approved the use of lasers for hair removal in 1995. Since then, numerous studies have been conducted and significant technological improvements have been made. Basically, hair removal devices now available today include: 694 nm ruby lasers, 755 nm alexandrite lasers, 805 nm diode lasers, 1064 nm lasers, and filtered xenon flashlamps.

Yes. Advanced light systems have been used safely for millions of treatments worldwide. These systems treat only the targeted tissues, leaving the surrounding tissue intact. However, some bruising or redness may occur.

Because they are less invasive than other types of treatments. For younger patients that do not need plastic surgery, laser surgery is easier, less painful, and there is no "down time." For patients who cannot have plastic surgery for medical or other reasons, laser treatments are ideal because they do not require general anesthesia and patients can immediately return to work or daily schedules.

Pulsed-light systems and lasers are very similar and treat lesions in basically the same way. However, the RejuveLux process uses a new technology that removes lesions much faster than lasers.

Lasers have been used successfully in hundreds of thousands of treatments. Laser treatments performed properly, by a trained physician or certified laser specialist, are safe and effective. There are many benefits to laser surgery including little if any pain, no needles, less bruising and swelling and once removed, lesions do not return.

These two treatment types are very similar in effect. However, our Palomar EsteLux uses a technology that removes hair up to 10 times faster than do lasers.

Most lasers treat only one or two aging conditions. They may diminish red or brown spots; they may just reduce lax skin.

Photo Rejuvenation will work on most people. YouthLight will be most effective on 30 to 55-year-old "Baby Boomers," whose general age and skin condition makes them the candidates with the most to gain from such treatments. Typically, the older the person, the more treatments will be needed, depending on skin condition.

In our experience, photo rejuvenation treatments offer unique benefits when performed before or after laser resurfacing, facelift procedures, the “weekend facelift”, and chemical peels. In addition, we have combined the use of photo rejuvenation with microdermabrasion to enhance the benefit of this procedure by reducing the dilated capillaries and redness that microdermabrasion is unable to help.

Laser hair removal was pioneered after more than 30 years of laser research by physicians at the Massachusetts General Hospital's Wellman Laboratories, and has been shown through extensive clinical trials at more than 10 laser U.S. and Canadian laser research centers to provide safe and effective hair removal.

It is safe and even recommended because laser will not affect the blond, white or red hair. Many people have hair of almost every color in some areas. It is common for a client to combine the treatment modes for the sake of times saving. It is common to continue with electrolysis on the light and choose laser for the dark hair.

We screen all of our patients to be certain they are not taking Acutane or Gold injections, both of which have been associated with skin discoloration. We have not had issues with other drugs commonly mentioned as causing sensitivity to light.

Yes. Certainly more shallow scars, including fine lines, will be improved. However, ice pick type acne scarring and deep scars will not be helped. Laser resurfacing or dermabrasion may be indicated here. If the scars are milder and do not respond to photo rejuvenation alone then we often add another procedure called microdermabrasion to the treatment schedule. This consists of gentle pain and a safe series of abrasions of the skin in conjunction with the photo rejuvenation.

The colors in the light are attracted to the browns, reds and deeper collagen tissue. The heat generated from the light targets and vaporizes the browns, coagulated the reds and heats the collagen. The body's healing mechanism takes over and sloughs the brown, absorbs the reds and thickens the collagen.

Yes. ? As other skin care treatments beautify the skins surface, the Light Therapy treatment strengthens and rejuvenates tissue from within. ? Marrying these treatments can deliver remarkable inner and outer results.

Laser vaginal rejuvenation can be combined with designer laser vaginoplasty such as laser reduction labioplasty. Yes, our team of board certified gynecologist and plastic and reconstructive surgeons can combine laser vaginal rejuvenation or designer laser vaginoplasty with most cosmetic surgical procedures such as breast, nose, eye, or tummy tuck surgery.

Laser Vaginal Rejuvenation is a surgical technique that strengthens the vaginal muscle tone and effectively decreases the internal and external diameters of the vagina. By recreating the tightness that was present prior to childbirth, LVR enhances sexual pleasure for a woman and her partner.

In general returning to work is dependent on the type of work you do. Most patients can return within 5 to 7 days.

Laser Vaginal Rejuvenation® is a safe procedure with low risk. To put the risk in perspective, pregnancy is associated with far more risk than any of these procedures. As with any surgery the risks are hemorrhage and infection. These risks are less than 1%. If one requires work on both the upper and lower vagina then there is risk of injury to the bladder and the rectum.

Sclerotherapy has been safely used for decades to treat spider leg veins; and the procedure continues to be the most successful spider vein treatment to date.

Pulsed light systems and lasers are very similar and treat lesions in basically the same way. However, the process uses a new technology that removes lesions up to 10 times faster than lasers. Pulsed-light treatments can fit even the busiest person's schedule.

Photo Rejuvenation will complement Microdermabrasion, along with any other types of cosmetic treatments, including the N Light, Botox, collagen injections, previous plastic surgery and various laser treatments. Photo Rejuvenation has a "calming effect" on the skin.
