Am I a good candidate for Injectables?
The best candidates for the procedure are those between ages of 25 and 65. In many cases, wrinkles in people over 65 are "static" and do not change when relaxing the face. Other procedures would work better for these patients. Each person is different however, and should undergo a consultation determine the most effective treatment plan.
How many treatments will I need for hair removal?
Hair grows in cycles. The laser is only effective on hair in its actively growing cycle. At any one time there will only be certain hairs in that growing phase. This means that consistent treatments at appropriate intervals are absolutely necessary for the best possible results.The number of treatments required depends upon your skin, hair coloring, coarseness of the hair and density per treated area. Multiple treatments may be required.
The laser hair removal system causes long term reduction in the number of hairs growing in an area. Because hair grows in three phases, and each hair goes through these stages independently, it is almost impossible for one laser treatment to permanently reduce all hair in a given area.
Clinical studies, which have followed patients for one year after completing two treatments, have shown that reduction in hair growth was stable for the duration of that time. While individual results may vary, patients typically find that it takes 3 to 6 treatments to get the desired results *.
Will the spots or brown marks on my skin completely disappear?
With age spots and sunburn freckles, usually more than 75% fading is achieved in singular treatment. However in certain areas, particularly back and legs, treatment response may vary. Treatment sessions are recommended every 4 weeks with total of 3 sessions.In general for up to 2 weeks after treatment the area will be lightly scabbed. When this peels off, the area appears pink and must be protected from sun exposure.
