Yes. You should shave 1-3 days before the procedure, leaving small 2 to 3mm stubs of hair, but no longer. The hair cannot be waxed or plucked. It must be in in tact within the follicle so that efficacy is not compromised.

This can vary depending on skin and hair color, but generally 4-6 sessions are required for approximately 80% clearance or greater. After that, maintenance treatments are recommended.

For Hair Removal, it is recommended that one treatment be completed every 4-8 weeks depending on the area being treated.

For PFB(Pseudofolliculitis Barbae- Ingrowns/Razor Bumps), it is recommended that one treatment be completed every 2-3 weeks. (Please note- hair in the area will thin out over time.)

No! Anesthetics and cooling gels are not needed because the Aerolase Neo Elite® is uniquely pain-free. However, a tolerable sensation of heat can be experienced. This applies to all skin types. The only exception to this fact, is if the hair is not freshly shaven and longer than 3mm, you may experience more discomfort.

The Neo Elite laser is the safest laser in the industry for dark skin types or tanned skin. This is because of the MicroPulse-1064 technology, which essentially eliminates treatment pain while minimizing the chances of hyper and/or hypopigmentation.

There is no light based hair removal technology which is efficient on blonde or gray hair because melanin is the primary target or chromophore in laser hair removal, so treatment efficacy is typically much lower if the hair is low in melanin(like gray or blonde hair).

The best candidates for skin rejuvenation and tightening are patients that are showing the initial signs of aging, such as fine lines, minor wrinkles, sun damage, vessels, and skin laxity. You may begin to see results immediately after the treatment and the results will continue to become better over time.

After a complete set of 6 treatments, typically once a month, you can expect to see the results continue for the next 6 months due to the continual growth of new collagen and elastin. After which you can start treatments again.

You may notice a glow or tightening sensation immediately after the first treatment. Some may also notice a reduction in pore size a few weeks after the first treatment.

Rosacea is a chronic disorder that is characterized by facial flushing and the gradual development of persistent facial redness and spider-like blood vessels. It is often punctuated by episodes of inflammatory papules(bumps), pustules(pimples), and swelling. Management for many people includes avoidance of certain foods and alcohol, as well as makeup which can be expensive and time consuming.

Individual results may vary, but typically 3-4 treatments performed every 3 to 4 weeks. Patients may see relief in just one treatment, others may need the full amount of treatments.

Immediately after treatment there may be some redness, in or adjacent to the treated area. This is more common in older patients or those who are taking blood-thinning medications, and should resolve within a few days. The redness and vasculature may not immediately disappear and may take up to several months to fully improve and clear. Maintenance treatments are recommended for continued improvement of flare ups.

Melasma is a very common patchy brown, tan, or blue-gray facial skin discoloration, primarily seen on the upper cheeks, lip, forehead, and chin of women 20-50 years of age. Uncontrolled sunlight exposure is considered the leading cause of melasma, especially in individuals with a genetic predisposition to this condition. Melasma is most common amongst pregnant women, called Chloasma. This is especially prevalent in darker skin types.

This can vary depending on the size density of melanin and depth of the affects area. Typically melanoma will lighten or disappear completely after 3-5 treatments, although in some cases more treatments are necessary. Treatments should be done every 3-4 weeks.

Melasma will slowly lighten over the course of the next few days to weeks after your treatments. The pigmented area is slowly absorbed into the skin by your body’s natural healing process. In some cases, the pigment will darken before becoming lighter. In the event that any crusting or scabbing occurs, it is important to always keep the area hydrated to reduce the risk of scarring.

Sun and age spots are commonly found on sun exposed skin. They typically do not appear until middle age and can appear on all skin types. Birthmarks and freckles are also commonly found in many people as a pigmented spot on the body without any sun damage. Age spots are collection of melanin that have accumulated in the epidermis. Unlike some freckles, which darken in the summer and fade in the winter, age spots do not fade.

This can vary depending on the size and color of the pigmented spot. Typically, sun and age spots will disappear after 3-4 treatments. Treatments should be done every 3-4 weeks.

*IMPORTANT: Any raised or suspicious pigmented lesions MUST be checked by a Dermatologist FIRST before beginning any laser treatment. After your doctor gives you the green light, you may begin laser treatments.*

The pigmented spots will continue to darken and commonly turn black. They will eventually scab over and slough off so it is important to always keep the area hydrated to reduce the risk of scarring. many spots will be gone permanently, but due to the skin aging and continued sun exposure, new spots will likely develop over time. Sunscreen is so important to slow the aging process and reduce the likeliness of new spots developing.

Psoriasis is a chronic disorder that causes thick red plaques with silvery scales on the skin. The thick scaling is due to a rapid increase in the multiplication of skin cells. Your body produces other immune responses which can lead to swelling and the rapid production of skin cells. Psoriasis symptoms tend to increase and decrease, but certain factors can cause flare ups, including, but not limited to alcohol, stress, medications, smoking, and skin trauma.

Individual results may vary, but can depend on the body surface that is affected although in some may see results sooner, 5 or more treatments are required.

Immediately after treatment, there may be some redness around the treated area, which will resolve in a few days. It may take up to 6 weeks for the affected areas of skin to return to normal thickness, and the redness may take several months to improve. Maintenance treatments are recommended for continued improvement of flare ups.
