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 Thermage?

Address the visible signs of aging in minutes! Thermage treatment is a non-invasive radiofrequency (RF) therapy that can help smooth, tighten and contour skin for an overall younger-looking appearance.

Thermage is an innovative way to treat lax skin that has lost its resilience due to aging and sun damage. Thermage radiofrequency energy encourages the healthy growth of new collagen for skin that’s noticeably firmer! Thermage skin tightening is effective as a loose skin treatment. We use Thermage for neck, jawline, eyelids, hands, forehead, and other treatments on the body. A Thermage facial treatment often produces significant results!

How does Thermage work?

Thermage delivers energy to heat the deeper layers of the skin, causing collagen to contract and encouraging new collagen to start growing — smoothing and tightening skin for a more youthful-looking skin texture and tone.Thermage skin tightening treatment is a favored procedure by many clients!

Only one treatment is necessary, and the results can last for years. Thermage treatment can be performed virtually anywhere on the body that could benefit from skin tightening.

Length of treatment

While most similar treatments require multiple sessions, Thermage delivers results in a single procedure of one to two hours.

Downtime

Some patients have temporary redness or minor swelling after the procedure, but this usually goes away within 24 hours. Most patients return to their regular activities immediately following treatment.

Results

Results appear gradually over two to six months and last from one to two years!

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!

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.
