True or False: Understanding Nonsurgical Fat Reduction with SculpSure®

female-showing-legs The summer season is a time when people really want to look and feel their best. And there are more available paths than ever before for people wanting to improve their body contour. Here at Laser Lights Cosmetic Laser Center, we offer SculpSure® Nonsurgical Fat Reduction, an FDA-approved method to successfully reduce excess fat that diet and exercise may not be able to address. To help explain this safe and remarkable cosmetic treatment and its benefits for patients, we wanted to address a few true and false statements about nonsurgical fat reduction with SculpSure®.

SculpSure® Can Be Used for More Than Just Body Contouring

This is true. In fact, one of the most common uses for SculpSure® Nonsurgical Fat Reduction is addressing submental fat in the neck area that causes the appearance of a “double chin.” One of the things our patients love most about SculpSure® treatments is their ability to actually treat multiple areas at once. For example, a neck treatment to reduce a double chin can happen simultaneously with a treatment to reduce fat under the arm area or abdominal fat. It’s completely up to the patient and their specific needs.

A SculpSure® Treatment Works The Same Way as Liposuction Surgery

This is false. It’s true that the goals of SculpSure® Nonsurgical Fat Reduction and liposuction are to remove stubborn fat from a wide variety of areas around the body, but they do so in very different ways. Unlike liposuction that requires suctioning fat out of the body under sedation, SculpSure® fat reduction utilizes precise wavelengths of laser energy that are directed into the layers of fat just beneath the skin. This controlled warming effect is able to heat up and ultimately break up underlying fat cells, while using surface cooling to help keep the treated area safe and comfortable.

Results Will Take Time to Become Apparent

The final results of a course of SculpSure® nonsurgical fat reduction treatments will be more than worth the wait, but it’s true that patients will need to be patient before seeing their final results. In most cases, more than one treatment session may be required in order to achieve the ideal fat removal results. The body needs time to effectively break up and expel these fat cells, so in most cases, it can take up to six weeks after their last treatment session before their final SculpSure® results have emerged.

SculpSure® Fat Reduction is FDA-approved, safe, and highly effective for helping people treat unwanted fat in areas all over the body.

Understanding Our Different Microneedling Treatments (And Their Benefits!)

Educational, Microneedling cosmetic treatments, educational, microneedling, skin tips, wrinkle treatments

woman-show-clear-facial-skin Microneedling treatments have become a remarkably popular cosmetic treatment among our patients. And a major part of this consistent popularity is the ability of microneedling to successfully treat a wide variety of common aesthetic issues. However, microneedling is not a catch-all term. In fact, we offer our patients different types of microneedling treatments that have their own unique benefits. Today, we wanted to go more in-depth on these treatments to help interested patients better understand their microneedling options.

Réjuvapen® Microneedling

Our more traditional of the available methods, Réjuvapen® Microneedling is a versatile treatment that can be used to help patients with many common facial blemishes. This can include wrinkles, fine lines, oversized pores, acne scarring, and more. During treatment, we apply a small, hand-held device to the treated area. Extra tiny needles are used to perforate the skin’s surface, triggering the production of healthy healing proteins like collagen and elastin. This helps create healthier skin that is firmer, smoother, and more youthful. For some patients, we may perform microneedling with natural growth factors to achieve even more comprehensive results.

RadioFrequency Microneedling

We also perform RadioFrequency Microneedling treatments, a unique treatment method that utilizes RadioFrequency (RF) energy to take microneedling to the next level. Unlike Réjuvapen®, these treatments incorporate heat energy into the treatment device. This energy allows for collagen and elastin to be triggered in the deeper levels of the skin. In the end, the effect is similar. Regenerated healthy proteins leading to smoother, tighter, and more vibrant skin.

During pre-treatment consultation appointments, our licensed aesthetic experts are able to explain all of the possible treatment options and help guide our patients to the best treatment for their skin and their specific needs. There is no right or wrong answer about which of these two methods of microneedling are “better.” Only, which is right in each individual case. And no matter which method is ultimately selected, our patients can count on the level of expertise, care, and long-lasting results that have made us one of the most respected medical spas in the southeast.

Both of these treatments are fully non-surgical, very safe, and require very little downtime for recovery. Choosing which is right for you is simply a matter of personal preference. For more information or if you would like to schedule a complimentary microneedling consultation appointment, please contact Laser Lights Cosmetic Laser Center today.

What Should I Know Before My Laser Hair Removal Treatment?

Educational, Laser Hair Removal cosmetic, educational, laser hair removal, laser treatments, treatments

woman-checks-her-legs Laser hair removal is one of the things that has gone from a curiosity to one of the most consistently in-demand cosmetic treatments there is in recent years. That’s certainly the case here at Laser Lights Cosmetic Laser Center. Temporary hair removal methods like shaving, waxing, and plucking simply cannot compete with a proven long-term solution to unwanted hair. The fall season is here, and this is an incredibly popular time for laser hair removal, which is why our aesthetic experts wanted to use this blog post to explain a few things that anyone should know before their laser hair removal treatments.

The Treatment is Safe & Not Painful

Here at Laser Lights, patient safety is always our top priority. Which is why our providers are licensed and only use top-of-the-market FDA-approved laser technology. During treatment, we may use a cooling device or topical cooling gel to help protect the treated skin and alleviate any potential discomfort. Although intense laser energy will be used to damage hair follicles, the treatment is not painful. Most patients say getting laser hair removal can be a little uncomfortable during the procedure, but that this is quick and after the treatment they are fine.

Prepare Skin Before Treatment

The day or two before a laser hair removal treatment, we highly recommend trimming and shaving the areas that are being treated. Doing so will allow the laser to better penetrate the skin and target the hair follicles underneath. Leaving hair on the surface of the treatment area can make it more difficult for the laser to effectively reach the follicle and do its job. And while shaving is a must, do not wax your skin before laser hair removal, as this can remove the hair’s root and make laser hair removal ineffective.

Full Hair Removal Results Will Take Time

If it’s been a couple days since your treatment and you’re not fully satisfied with your laser hair removal results, it’s important to be patient. Some degree of hair removal will be visible immediately after your treatment session, but laser hair removal is a process and multiple treatment sessions will likely be required to achieve the full hair loss many patients desire. Realistically, you can expect between a 10% to 25% reduction in hair in the treated area after the first treatment. Most patients need between 2 to 6 treatments (as well as a touch-up treatment each year or so), but this depends on several factors, including the specific hair growth cycle each patient experiences.

While it seems like there may be a lot to know before you can enjoy laser hair removal, the truth is that our cosmetic experts work hard to make sure our patients can relax and trust that they are in safe hands when they come to visit us. This combined experience, knowledge, skill, and care is what has made us one of metro Atlanta’s favorite med spas for so long!

Regretting Your Tattoo? We Have The Solution

Educational, Tattoo Removal cosmetic, educational, laser treatments, tattoo removal, treatments

man-with-tattoos-on-shoulder-back Few things in this world truly last forever, but tattoos are one of them. For many people, this is a good thing. For others, a tattoo can become a burden and source of considerable regret. In the past, there weren’t many good options for people who wanted a redo on their ink, but modern cosmetic breakthroughs have thankfully changed that. Today, our aesthetic experts wanted to discuss laser tattoo removal and how it can be incredibly helpful for people in this situation.

There are good reasons to remove a tattoo as the years go on. People’s tastes and preferences change over time. Additionally, some tattoos can serve as reminders of certain people, places, or things that someone may want to forget. Some people’s tattoo (or tattoos) may become a hindrance when searching for a new job depending on the environment. The truth is, it doesn’t really matter why someone wants to have a tattoo removed. The only thing that matters to us is being able to deliver a satisfactory tattoo removal result that our patients can count on.

Tattoo ink is permanent because the ink particles used are too big to be removed naturally by your immune system. Laser tattoo removal treatments work by targeting these specific pigments with wavelengths of light energy. The light is able to break the ink pigments into tiny particles that the body will be able to absorb over time. Our FDA-approved laser tattoo removal system is proven safe and highly effective for all skin types.

Laser tattoo removal is not painful, but some patients may feel varying degrees of discomfort during their treatment session. This is why in some cases, we may utilize a topical numbing cream to minimize any potential discomfort. Most patients will require multiple treatment sessions (paced 4-6 weeks apart), but we will discuss this during your pre-treatment consultation appointment as this will be determined by the tattoo color, depth as well as other considerations.

If you’re concerned about your tattoo and are seeking a long-term solution, laser tattoo removal can be just the thing to help you move on and start fresh. For more information or if you would like to schedule a complimentary consultation appointment, please contact Laser Lights Cosmetic Laser Center today.
