woman-pinches-skin-on-hip It’s safe to say that non-surgical fat reduction has taken off in popularity over the past decade. Now, more than ever, if you are looking for a non-invasive way to lose stubborn fat that won’t budge no matter how much you diet or exercise, there are multiple treatment options available to choose from. However, Non-Surgical Fat Reduction by SculpSure® has emerged as a front runner due to the advanced laser technology it uses and the revolutionary results it provides. To help you learn more about what sets SculpSure® apart from the rest, we have compiled a few unique benefits that this treatment carries.

Advanced Technology

Compared to other fat reduction technology, SculpSure® uses the latest technological advancements to treat fat cells. Instead of using methods like freezing or ultrasound, SculpSure® employs the use of four flat plates that send precise laser wavelengths into the layers of fat beneath your skin. This controlled warming process heats up and treats the underlying fat cells while surface cooling technology keeps you comfortable.

Quick Treatment Time

Due to the laser technology that SculpSure® uses, the treatment time is significantly shorter than other procedures on the market. Each non-surgical SculpSure® fat reduction session lasts approximately 25 minutes which makes it easy to quickly receive treatment if you have a busy schedule. Since the procedure is non-invasive, you are able to continue your day-to-day life after treatment with no downtime needed.

Treat Multiple Areas of the Body at Once

Another way SculpSure® saves time is by prioritizing versatility. This treatment can be used on multiple areas of the body including the abdomen, inner thighs, outer thighs, back, flanks, neck and chin. As an added benefit, the four individual flat plates can treat multiple areas at one time which helps to reduce the overall length of each session.

FDA-Approved

Because non-surgical fat removal is so popular, many different companies have come out with their own versions. However, not all of these treatments are FDA-cleared or FDA-approved. Not only is SculpSure® unique because of its short treatment time and non-invasive nature, it’s also FDA-approved for multiple areas of the body.

Rid Yourself of Remorse with Laser Tattoo Removal

In The News, Tattoo Removal, Uncategorized cosmetic laser procedures, duluth tattoo removal, laser center john’s creek, laser services Atlanta, laser services Duluth, laser tattoo removal Atlanta, laser tattoo removal Duluth, laser treatments for tattoo removal, medical lasers, pre-laser skin analysis, R20 technique, removing a tattoo with lasers

Though removing a tattoo with lasers is a longer process than getting one, the benefits can certainly be worth it. While the negative stigma for more tasteful tattoos in professional workplaces seems to be declining, many people still suffer from tattoo regret. Additionally, there are still many traditional, professional or military environments that do frown upon visible tattoos that may or not may not have a distasteful nature.

In a 2012 Harris Poll, 21 percent of adults in the US reported having at least one tattoo, a fairly significant increase from 16 percent in 2003 and 14 percent in 2008. While many tattoos seem like a good idea at the time, the remorse associated with getting inked is increasing. The American Society for Dermatologic Surgery says its members performed about 96,000 tattoo removal procedures in 2013 alone, up 52 percent over 2012.

Here’s where we come into play. Laser Lights Cosmetic Laser Center offers the most advanced medical grade laser treatments for tattoo removal. Depending on how the skin reacts to the laser, treatment sessions (normally 4-6 required) may be done close together or spaced apart. In some cases, our laser technicians can use the R20 technique, where two to four treatments are performed simultaneously. With this method, the laser can break up more ink at one time and decrease the amount of time you spend waiting for your next session.

Factors such as age of tattoo, color, ink used, type, and size can all affect the number of treatments needed. Though colors like green, red and yellow can be the hardest to completely remove, our selection of lasers allows for effective treatment for virtually any tattoo color.

During a pre-laser skin analysis, our skilled laser technicians can provide an estimate for how many treatments will be required as well as your total price. As a member of the American Society for Laser Medicine and Surgery (ASLMS) we are committed as a whole to embodying the latest research, education and clinical care in the field of medical lasers.

Micro Laser Peels Yield Major Results for Common Aging Problems

In The News, Laser Skin Resurfacing, Uncategorized chemical peels Duluth, CO2 laser skin resurfacing, collagen production, erbium laser, lasers for melasma, lasers for scarring, lasers for wrinkles, micro laser peels duluth, micro laser peels georgia, micro-laser peels, microdermabrasion Duluth, non-invasive treatments for skin, non-surgical anti-aging

As side effects of aging and sun damage begin to culminate over the years, you may seek a way to eliminate them before they are beyond repair. Depending on your level of damage, there are a few routes you can take that all involve exfoliation to improve surface texture. Two popular options at Laser Lights Cosmetic Laser and Anti-Aging Center include microdermabrasion and chemical peels, which use non-invasive techniques to slough off dead skin and leave your new skin feeling fresh. For a more aggressive non-surgical option, we offer micro laser peels to address wrinkles, melasma, scarring, lack of elasticity and more.

Using Erbium and fractionated CO2 laser technology, the micro laser peel removes the outermost layers of skin, to stimulate collagen growth in the skin’s deeper layers by eliminating dull, lifeless skin. Not unlike microdermabrasion and chemical peels, micro laser peels require little to no downtime, with most patients returning to normal activities and makeup application after 24 to 48 hours. You’ll also see the benefit of quick results once healing is complete!

While similar in downtime, micro laser peels differ in their method. Chemical peels use various acidic solutions based on your specific skin needs to remove the top-most layer of skin, while microdermabrasion uses diamonds or crystals to exfoliate dead surface cells. Rather than using a solution or scrubbing technique, micro laser peels use light technology to peel away the top layers of skin and allow the body to naturally work miracles by revitalizing the skin. Available for the face, as well as the neck, chest, and hands, the Erbium laser penetrates the first three layers of skin to treat problem areas and promote collagen production. Ideally, micro laser peels are for patients looking for more dramatic results than microdermabrasion or chemical peels, but do not quite necessitate the extensive treatment of CO2 fractionated laser skin resurfacing—though CO2 can be the best option for some patients.

If you’re interested in a micro laser peel or other skin resurfacing treatments, schedule a consultation today. Stay updated on skin care news with us on Facebook, Twitter, and Google+.

We offer many more beautifying treatments to help you radiate on your wedding day, as well as massage services and gift cards.

6 Natural Ways to Get Healthy Skin for the Summer

The freedom of not having to cake on makeup during the sultry months of summer is a beautiful thing. After all, who doesn’t long to just throw on a light layer of tinted moisturizer with sunscreen and go? However, bumps and acne that come from sweat, oil, and clogged pores is often the reality that comes along with this time of year. Instead of turning to harsh chemicals to treat your skin, check some natural ways to get your best skin for summertime.

Have your antioxidant levels checked. By utilizing the Pharmanex Antioxidant Scanner, our highly-trained staff is able to recommend appropriate LifePak/G3 nutritional supplementation in efforts to positively impact health and anti-aging abilities. Antioxidants slow down the aging process, boost your immune system, speed recovery times, and decrease pain and inflammation.
Try massage therapy. Stimulate your lymphatic system and reduce stress to increase your chances of soothing inflamed skin. Our licensed massage therapist specializes in therapeutic massage: combining Swedish, sports, deep tissue, and trigger point therapy.
Take advantage of yummy summer foods. Berries are packed with antioxidants that can protect the skin and reduce sun damage. Citrus fruits have amino acids that contribute to collagen production. Lycopene in tomatoes does the same while fending you from fine lines and wrinkles. Dig in!
Protect your skin. Never step out of the house without sunscreen. We offer great products that contain sunscreen along with flaw coverage, including glō minerals Protecting Powder, which features SPF 30 coverage to defend against the sun’s damaging rays.
Stay hydrated. Drinking water consistently throughout the day won’t only make you feel better, but can also help clear your skin and increase a radiant, glowing look—not to be confused with the persistent layer of sweat that accompanies summer! Coconut water also supports more supple skin and contains potassium to help more effectively transport nutrients and oxygen to the skin by boosting circulation.
Hit the gym or exercise outside. The increased circulation from working on your fitness can give your skin tone a boost, helping clear cell debris out of the system and cleaning from the inside out.
