What is Laser Treatment?

Laser and intense pulsed light (IPL) treatments deliver precise energy to specific targets in the skin: pigment in sun spots, blood vessels behind redness, or water in the skin to stimulate collagen. Different devices treat different concerns.

Settings must be matched to your skin type — especially for medium and darker skin tones — which is why an experienced, well-trained provider is essential.

How the treatment works

After protective eyewear and, when needed, numbing cream, the device is passed over the treatment area in controlled pulses. Sessions usually take 15 to 60 minutes depending on the area.

What Laser Treatment can help with

  • Sun spots and freckling

  • Facial redness and broken capillaries

  • Uneven texture and fine lines

  • Unwanted hair

  • Sun damage on the chest and hands

Before and after your appointment

  1. Avoid tanning and self-tanner for several weeks before treatment.
  2. Sun spots may darken before flaking off over one to two weeks.
  3. Redness and warmth are common for a few hours to a few days.
  4. Daily broad-spectrum sunscreen protects your results.
