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 Our Clients Say

“I was comfortable immediately from my initial consultation. My skin has never looked this good, and I feel confident in my skin again. I am beyond words. The whole team is incredible! ”

Vanessa W.

“Everyone has exceptional knowledge and patient care skills. If you want to see natural results and dramatic improvements, go to Shino Bay Institute. I cannot thank them enough for everything they did for me! ”

Sandy D.

“I’ve been a client for many years at several medical aesthetic clinics, and Shino Bay is -- by far -- the best place to go. They have comprehensive services using the latest technologies, physicians who understand anatomy and physiology, well-trained technicians, medical-grade sterility and cleanliness without feeling institutional, and a staff that provides genuine and personal patient care. My experience has been so overwhelmingly positive that I will not be returning to any of my former clinics. ”

Amanda T.

“I was nervous to receive fillers. But such kind time was spent explaining the process and differences and placement. To say nothing of the results -- lol -- I look fabulous!”

Joelle T.

“Glad I finally tried the chemical peel. I wanted to correct discoloration and texture -- and man, did it ever. Superb results, and excellent VIP care.”

Marcus K.

“I had awful -- I mean really bad -- hypertrophic and hypotrophic scarring. The combo of light/laser therapy had a huge impact in just three treatments. I'm kicking myself for not coming years earlier. I feel so much better everywhere I go. It's been really great.”

John R.

“I began seeing Dr. Soro a few years ago, and couldn't recommend him more! He is kind and patient -- and explains everything very well. And his skill level - WOW! At 56, I have never looked -- and felt -- better.”

Cindy L.

“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.”

Travis P.
