Consultations are complimentary. Packages and monthly installments available. | |
| How Does the Laser Treatment Work? | |
| The laser create a beam of high-intensity light that penetrates deeply into the skin tissue, where it delivers a controlled amount of targeted therapeutic heat. Candela's patented Dynamic Cooling Device™ (DCD™) technology protects the upper layers of yours skin with a cooling burst of cryogen. together, the long-pulse laser and DCD or air cooling offer optimal treatment with minimal side effects. | |
| What Can I Expect During Treatment? | |
| Treatment will take place in your practitioner's office. You will wear safety eyewear to protect your eyes from the laser light. Your practitioner will guide the laser to the treatment areas with a small hand peice. Each laser pulse may be preceded and followed by a short pulse of cooling spray. A treatment could take as little as a few minutes to as long as an hour, depending on the area and condition being treated. | |
| Does it Hurt? | |
| Some patient may feel a slight discomfort with each laser pulse, sometimes described like the snapping of a rubber band on the skin. This discomfort resolves quickly and is minimized by Candela's DCD or air cooling. For some patients, a topical anesthetic may be used prior to treatment. Be sure to discuss this with your practitioner. | |
| How Many Treatment Sessions Will I Need? | |
| The number of sessions depends on the treatment you require and the condition of your skin. For hair removal, multiple treatments are required, as the process is most effective when the hair follicle is in its active growth phase. Other condition may clear up in only one treatment, but many factors impact the efficiency of individual laser treatments, including the severity of the condition being treated. | |
| How Do I Prepare for a Treatment? | |
| Patients scheduled for hair removal should avoid plucking, electrolysis or hair waxing for six weeks prior to treatment. Also, your skin should be clean shaven, thoroughly cleansed and dried, removing any make-up, creams, oils, topical anesthetics or self-tanning products before laser treatment. The intended treatment area should not be exposed to sunlight or tanning booth light prior to or immediately after treatment according to your providers recommendation. Before laser treatment, prevent sun exposure by applying sunblock (SPF 30 or above). | |
| What Can I Expect After Treatment? | |
| A cool compress or gel pack ma be applied for comfort following your treatment. Any redness or swelling should resolve within a few hours. | |
| What Precautions Should I Take After Treatment? | |
| After laser treatment, prevent sun exposure by applying sunblock (SPF 30 or above). In the first fw days after treatment, do not scrub or rinse the treated areas with abrasive skin cleansers. Your practitioner may advice additional precautions. | |
| Are There Side Effects? | |
| Your risks are minimal. Side effects may include redness, swelling, hyperpigmentation, hypopigmentation, blistering and purpura (a laser bruise) in the treated area- these usually do not last more than a few days. Permanent side effects are rare. Be sure to discuss potential side effect with your practitioner. | |
| Are These Treatments Covered by Insurance? | |
| Most insurance companies do not offer reimbursement for cosmetic procedures. Some carriers will, however, cover the treatment of disfiguring birthmarks such as hemangiomas. Consult your insurance carrier for conclusive information. | |
