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.

SkinPen®

What is SkinPen®?

SkinPen® gives your skin the reset it needs and is a remarkably effective hyperpigmentation treatment! SkinPen® is the first FDA-cleared microneedling device and is superb as an uneven skin tone treatment! Experience radiant results in as little as three treatment sessions for skin hyperpigmentation, reduced skin elasticity, and much more! SkinPen® is an excellent option for keloid scar treatment and age spots! No need to look any further for skincare for uneven skin tone — SkinPen® is here!

How does SkinPen® Microneedling work?

The SkinPen® Precision is a newly advanced microneedling device that creates thousands of micro-injuries, resulting in collagen stimulation — smoothing skin, and even treating stretch marks. Hyperpigmentation on the face visibly reduces with this treatment. It is a great way to infuse Hyaluronic Acid, growth factors, Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP), or Platelet Rich Fibrin (PRF) into the deeper layers of the skin, and it leaves the skin glowing. SkinPen® microneedling is fantastic for treating hyperpigmentation and uneven skin tone. This treatment is effective on all skin types.

PRF and PRP

Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) and Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) may optionally be used during a SkinPen® microneedling session to enhance the results by producing firmer, smoother skin.

Length of treatment

The total preparation and procedure time is about two hours.

Downtime

Recovery from this procedure is minimal. Patients can return to normal activities the next day or even the same day for some patients.

Results

SkinPen® microneedling is a popular procedure. It effectively addresses textural concerns such as lines, wrinkles, large pores, acne scars, and stretch marks. We recommend four treatments a month or two apart to achieve the best results. Annual follow-up treatments are necessary to maintain the SkinPen® results.

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

Dylan C.

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.
