What is laser hair removal ? Laser hair removal or reduction treatment is a medical cosmetic procedure of hair removal by means of exposure to pulses of laser light that destroy the hair follicles. It had been performed experimentally for about twenty years before becoming commercially available in the mid-1990s. It is a great way to stop hair from growing in unwanted places, permanent hair reduction.

How does laser hair removal or reduction work?

Laser hair removal works by targeting your hair follicles through a series of treatments with concentrated beams of light. The laser hair removal / reduction machines emit light beams that are very precise. The dark color hair follicles under skin absorb the intense light energy which turns into heat that builds up and destroys those hair follicles. The result is permanent hair reduction and smother skin.

Your hair follicles are not all active at once and laser treatments will only work on hair that is actively growing, therefore multiple treatments are needed to permanently reduce hair growth and results may vary in patients. The number of required treatments depends on many factors such as hair color, coarseness of hair, skin color and treated areas. Nevertheless getting rid of unwanted hair is so easy and comfortable with the advanced technologies that have become available to us in the past 10 years.

The benefit of laser hair removal or hair reduction

The lasers emit light beams that are highly-precise. The dark hair follicles under your skin absorb the intense light and cause heat to build up and destroy the follicles, thus preventing continued hair growth.

Your hair follicles are not all active at once, and laser treatments only work on hair that is actively growing, so multiple treatments are needed to reduce the full amount of hair effectively. Laser and light therapies don’t use needles or anesthesia, and most patients report feeling a minor stinging similar to the snapping of a rubber band.Laser hair removal treatments can be done in so many areas in our body such as face, chin, neck, sideburns, underarm and bikini and etc. It offers a wide variety of advantages such as:

• treatments are fast and convenient which allow getting rid of hair on small areas such as face, underarms, bikini or legs to be done in minutes.

• No more ingrown hair

• it’s an effective and safe treatment to permanently reduce hair growth.

Microdermabrasion is a procedure that exfoliates and removes the superficial layer of dry, dead skin cells. Our microdermabrasion machines can buff and polish the skin using a stream of fine crystals or a diamond tip. It works best on problems such as dull skin, brown spots, and age spots.

"Pure Oxygen Can Be Added To Accelerate A Healing Process After Microdermabrasions And Laser Treatments"

When we age, our face goes through several changes. Decreasing hormone levels begin to influence skin, increasing dryness, fine lines deepen, especially around the eyes (crow’s feet), forehead and mouth. The outer layer of skin (epidermis) thins, even though the number of cell layers remains unchanged. Aging causes our skin to lose collagen and elasticity and the number of pigment-containing cells (melanocytes) decreases. The remaining melanocytes increase in size. Aging skin looks thinner, paler, and clear (translucent). To make it worse, changes in the connective tissue reduce the skin's strength and elasticity. This is known as elastosis. It is more noticeable in sun-exposed areas (solar elastosis). Elastosis produces the leathery, weather- beaten appearances.

Dermal fillers such as Juvederm, Restylane, Belotero, Sculptra or Radiesse can be used to fill in the area beneath the skin to restore volume. They can be used for lips, face, chin, cheekbone, neck and hand enchancement, providing a correction for moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds, such as nasolabial folds, it can also be used to add volume to correct age-related volume loss in the cheeks, jawlines and lips (non-surgical lip augmentation).

We, at Downtown Skin and Laser, offer several laser and radio frequency treatments for body contouring and cellulite treatments. TriPollar skin tightening uses radio frequency (RF) energy to heat the underlying layers of skin that contain collagen. When this energy hits the collagen, it causes the collagen to contract, giving an immediately smoother tone and brighter skin texture. The RF energy also stimulates collagen growth, which will occur over a period of weeks following the procedure. As the collagen expands, it adds volume to the skin, giving it a more youthful appearance and pleasing contour.

As an all-around skin tightening procedure, both laser and radio frequency are perfect for patients looking for:

• Improvement of stretch marks

• Waist circumference reduction

• Reduction of stubborn fat pockets

• Cellulite treatment

• Prevention of wrinkles and other signs of aging

• Immediate results, even after the first treatment

• Record of safety

• Completely noninvasive and nondamaging to the skin

• Works for all skin colors and types

• Rapid procedure with no downtime

At Downtown Laser and Anti-Aging we offer a variety of facial and skin rejuvenation treatments. We customize treatment or treatments that are specific for each patient’s concerns and goals.

- IPL skin rejuvenation or Photofacial is a common non-invasive cosmetic procedure designed to produce youthful and beautiful complexsion. A photofacial uses broad-spectrum light, which reaches multiple layers of skin, applied in brief flashes, sometimes up to 2 or 3 on a single treatment area intends to improve and treat the appearance of sun damages, age spots, acne, active breakout, fine wrinkles, and hyper pigmentation on the face, neck, chest and body areas. IPL treats the skin with quick and powerful flashes of light. The light energy then penetrates below the skin's surface, where the unwanted pigment (melanin) lives. The heat breaks down this pigment into tiny particles, which either rise to the skin's surface as scabs (naturally sloughing away within a week or so) or get carried away by the body's lymphatic system. Or the light flashes and warms the skin to stimulate the body’s natural healing process, as well as collagen growth underneath the skin. This multi-faceted approach makes your skin look younger, smoother and fuller. There are a variety of skin issues that can also be treated using IPL such as blemishes, fine wrinkles, the effects of aging, large pores and much more.

Ultherapy, a non-invasive treatment, that goes deeper to stimulate production of your own collagen and elastin. It is a very effective ultrasound energy-based device that is clinically proven and FDA cleared to lift and tighten sagging or loose skin on face, brows, chin, neck and décolletage. It’s a non-surgical alternative to facelift and necklift procedures for achieving a more and natural youthful appearance.

What is Ultherapy ?

Ultherapy is the only FDA-cleared non-invasive procedure that lifts and tightens faces, necks, chins, brows and upper chests, using high focus ultrasound energy. For some of us who are not ready for a surgical face, brow or neck lift, Ultherapy provides proven results in one single treatment for most patients.

During the treatment, a handheld device is used to deliver focused ultrasound energy to the deeper layers of the skin. This energy stimulates the production of collagen, which is a protein that helps to keep the skin firm and elastic. As a result, the skin becomes tighter and more lifted over time.

The treatment typically takes between 30 and 90 minutes, depending on the area being treated. Patients may experience some discomfort during the procedure, but this can be managed with pain medication or numbing cream.

What are the risks or side effects of Ultherapy?

After the treatment, patients may experience some

• Redness

• Swelling

• Temporary numbness

• Skin sensitivity

However, these side effects typically subside within a few days.

It is suitable for individuals who have mild to moderate skin laxity and are looking for a non-surgical alternative to address sagging skin.
