What Is The Recovery Time From Procedures and Treatments?

Most patients return to normal activities on the same day as their treatment. The area that is treated with the laser may be reddened, bruised or swollen for an hour or a few days, but camouflage cosmetics are usually able to conceal any evidence of treatment. Most treatments show little or no sign that you had anything done at all. A mild reddening for 1-3 hours is the most common after-effect. Any post-treatment discomfort can usually be relieved with extra-strength Tylenol. Your doctor may prescribe a stronger medication depending on the procedure. A topical antibiotic such as Bacitracin may also be recommended for the treatment area.

Is Laser Treatment Painful?

The sensations vary depending upon the procedure, the technology used, the wavelengths and the energy settings. Many procedures are completely painless. All are tolerable. Many people describe the laser as feeling like the snap of a rubber band on the skin. We utilize all of the most efficient and most comfortable treatment systems including the adjustable “frozen air cooling system” that maximizes patient comfort by chilling the treatment area before, during and after the procedure. A local anesthetic may be recommended for more sensitive treatment areas or for younger patients.

What Conditions can be Treated with Cosmetic Laser Therapy?

A variety of functional and cosmetic skin problems can be treated with lasers. Laser treatments can reduce the appearance of sun damage, scars, stretch marks, wrinkles, unwanted hair, fine lines, vascular lesions (birthmarks, spider veins, varicose veins and redness on the face) and uneven pigmentation. Please visit our our Procedures page for a complete list.

Do You Have Payment Plans or Different Payment Options for Cosmetic Skin Care?

Cosmetic procedures are not covered by insurance unless specified as such. All fees will be discussed with patients in advance of the procedure and are payable in advance of the procedure. We accept VISA, Discover, MasterCard, American Express and Debit Cards. For cosmetic packages and procedures we offer financing options for 6-18 months and other financing options featuring low interest for up to 60 months through our credit providers Alphaeon Credit and CareCredit (with approved credit). You can be approved within a few minutes while you are at your appointment. For further information regarding our payment policies or pre-approval on credit amounts please contact our office directly at 954-765-3005. We will do our best to find you a plan that works with your budget.

What is Cynosure Elite+ Hair Removal?

Imagine not having to tweeze, wax, or shave again! Cynosure Elite is arguably the best laser treatment for hair removal on the market, and as a system, the laser is the most effective weapon to fight the battle against body hair! Laser hair removal is an increasingly popular choice for women and men!

The ultimate laser hair removal, Cynosure Elite offers the most comprehensive range of hair removal applications available today and has become a benchmark in the global market. The system is highly effective for permanent hair removal for those looking for permanent facial hair removal or even full body hair removal. Laser hair removal only causes mild discomfort, is safer and less painful than electrolysis, and patients feel more satisfaction with the results.

How does Laser Hair Removal work?

The Cynosure Elite Multiplex laser has both an Alexandrite and Nd:YAG lasers that provide optimal laser hair removal, customizable to any skin type and making laser hair removal for dark skin possible. The system selectively heats the hair and permanently destroys it without damaging the surrounding tissue. The laser energy damages the hair follicles and inhibits or slows new hair growth, making it ideal for facial laser hair removal and full body laser hair removal.

Length of treatment

The length of treatment depends on the size of the laser treatment for hair removal areas. Large laser hair removal areas such as the back can take around an hour, while the axilla (armpits) or upper lips take about 5 minutes.

Downtime

There is little to no downtime associated with laser hair removal!

Results

Hairs do not fall out immediately as it depends on their growth cycle, but it can take up to a month following each session. A series of 2-6 sessions will produce optimal results in the treated area.

I've been treated by three staff members for various cosmetic procedures, including PDO threads and body contouring! I'd be hard-pressed to share with you my favourite. All were very experienced, competent, and friendly.
