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.

PICOSURE®

What is PicoSure?

Your best skin — revealed! Achieving a more youthful appearance without the typical discomfort and downtime is now possible with PicoSure. Ground-breaking innovative technology performs non-surgical and non-invasive laser skin treatment to focus on specific problem areas in multiple body areas! PicoSure is excellent for hyperpigmentation treatment, skin tightening procedures, and laser tattoo removal.

PicoSure is the first and only picosecond laser technology for laser skin tightening, melasma treatment, and more! PicoSure delivers energy to break down the melanin (causes of pigments) without damaging the skin and encourages the skin’s natural healing and regenerating process to revive your flawless skin complexion.

How does PicoSure work?

PicoSure is an acoustic-type laser (as opposed to heat-based) that vibrates and shatters pigment particles and induces collagen-building mechanically rather than thermally. Less heat means a reduction in tissue damage and discomfort. It is also a less invasive version of the CO2 laser for all-over skin tightening treatment, collagen boosting, stretch marks and scars, and a better option than surgical tattoo removal. It is safer for people with darker pigmented skin because it doesn’t cause hyperpigmentation as other lasers can. It feels like a warm ballpoint pen that moves across your skin. The laser has a setting that is the gold standard for complete tattoo removal of any color. PicoSure works three times faster than traditional thermal-based tattoo removal. People searching for skin tightening surgery or skin pigmentation treatment need to look no further!

Length of treatment

The number of procedures depends on the size and nature of the treatments. For tattoos, the size and color will determine the length of time.

Downtime

There is no downtime associated with PicoSure.

Results

Improve the appearance of wrinkles, age lines, and even acne scars. Tattoos may take from four to ten sessions for optimal results. Excellent for melasma ayurvedic treatment.

For my Botox and microneedling, this is where I go. I'd never venture from these trained experts. Permanent make-up is next!

This office always has me leaving with a smile. I love when I go for my hydrafacials and oxygen facials! GREAT team and VIP service, as well as very skilled doctors and staff. Valet right across the street, too!

Marissa H.

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.
