PicoWay
Laser treatments are an increasingly popular method to combat signs of aging or reduce skin discoloration, being minimally invasive and often performed on-the-go. Most people experience no adverse side effects from their laser treatment sessions; however, some individuals do experience some discomfort depending on the type of laser procedure performed – your laser technician should provide you with topical anesthetic for added comfort during treatments; depending on this factor as well as duration (most treatments take less than 30 minutes!). You can easily fit laser sessions into your schedule before or during lunch breaks!

Intense Pulsed Light (IPL)
IPL or photofacial treatment is an innovative skincare technology used to reduce discoloration, age spots, sun damage, freckles, fine lines, rosacea and broken blood vessels in all skin tones. Additionally, this method can remove unwanted hair as it emits light at multiple wavelengths simultaneously rather than one single wavelength for better coverage on all skin tones.
Light energy absorbs into color pigments present on your skin, breaking them down and stimulating regeneration. Furthermore, it causes blood vessels to close up more effectively and encourages your body to create new collagen, giving your complexion a more youthful appearance.
IPL therapy is an ideal treatment option for individuals with light to medium complexions who want to reduce skin discoloration and improve tone, or treat vascular lesions or capillary inflammation (spider veins). The wide spectrum of wavelengths produced by IPL covers most issues that could arise on any type of skin; however, those with fair complexions are most likely to benefit from its results.
At IPL therapy sessions, patients wear eyewear to shield their eyes from the light produced during treatment. A cooling gel will then be applied to the surface of skin before placing the handpiece over an area that needs treating; pulses of light will then be delivered in short bursts; this can give patients the sensation of rubber bands snapping against their skin with each light pulse.
After surgery is completed, treated areas may remain red or pink for four to six hours and cause some people to experience stinging or burning sensations; cooling compresses may provide temporary relief from such discomfort. Patients should avoid applying makeup or lotion until all redness or swelling has subsided before applying either.
An IPL treatment uses an innovative laser system capable of penetrating deeper into your skin than traditional lasers can, reaching as far down to the second layer without harming surrounding tissue or damaging any targeted chromophores. This ensures maximum effect without unnecessary collateral damage to surrounding cells.

Laser hair removal differs from other permanent forms of hair reduction by targeting the root of each unwanted hair follicle, effectively cutting them off at their source and eliminating future growth. Furthermore, it’s one of the safest options for your skin; during treatment our team will apply protective gel over your surface skin to minimize risk and discomfort.
With each session, you’ll notice less hair growing in the area being treated. After several treatments, many of our clients can even stop growing new hair altogether! Should any appear between sessions, a quick touch-up session should suffice.
Laser hair removal offers another distinct advantage compared to other permanent hair reduction methods: its speed. You could complete treatment in just minutes depending on which area of your body it covers; additionally, laser is much more comfortable than waxing or electrolysis treatments.
