We don’t take this lightly, and that’s why we take special care for every appointment to provide each patient with the best possible experience at Laser Lights Cosmetic Laser Center. Still, choosing a skin care treatment provider is no easy decision, so we understand that you want to know as much about us as you can in advance. Who better to hear it from than our current patients?

To help you know what to expect when you visit us, we’ve put together some of our most recent patient reviews. Take a peek and see what our patients are saying!

Experienced, Professional, and Informative

Many of our patients start seeing us for one treatment and then learn that there are other ways we can help them too. That was the case for this next patient, who started with laser hair removal and added laser treatments for hyperpigmentation too:

“I have been going to Laser Lights since February for laser hair removal and am loving my results! Vida is experienced, professional, and informative. She is also so warm and truly makes you feel comfortable with your experience.

At my first visit we also discussed treating my melasma–an incredibly difficult-to-treat skin discoloration usually due to hormones. She explained different ways it can be treated, but just how persistent and frustrating it can be even with treatment. With all this in mind, I chose to do the treatment she recommended and loved my results! Some of the hyperpigmentation has come back, because hormones and the sun exist–even with my use of hats and sunscreen, but that’s just the nature of melasma. The treatment we did worked wonderfully! I plan on doing further work with her in the fall when the sun has lessened some of it’s summer intensity and it will be easier to get a handle on things.

Overall, I have loved my experience here and will keep coming back for services even after I no longer need laser hair removal. Laser lights is excellent!”

Truly a Blessing

Laser treatments do more than take a few years off your appearance. For some patients, our treatments achieve results that relieve them of a long-lasting burden, and that was the case for this patient:

“Laser Lights has truly been a blessing for me. I came in with facial scars that made it very difficult for me to go out in public. It wasn’t necessarily the size of the scars but the discoloration compared to my skin tone which was noticeable. During the Consult they explained in great detail the process and plan they would take and took into consideration my skin tone and all other aspects. By 10 treatments the scars were virtually unnoticeable and it removed a great burden from my life. They are true miracle workers here if you stay patient follow instructions and keep coming back. I would recommend these people to everyone who wants to improve a physical aspect about them selves that will help them not only physically, but psychologically as well.

They may not also know this, but they are all very nice as well and it was like a free therapy session chit chatting the mornings I got to go!So I’m excited and I’m looking to return again sometime this year for a check-up!”

Our Most Popular Cosmetic Treatments for Men

Laser Hair Removal, Tattoo Removal, Uncategorized cosmetic procedure, laser hair removal, laser tattoo removal, med spa, non surgical fat reduction

Over the years, the amount of men undergoing cosmetic procedures has been on the rise. More and more men have discovered that these treatments have great benefits and can help to boost their confidence about the way they look. At Laser Lights Cosmetic Laser Center, we offer a wide variety of laser treatments and other cosmetic services that can help men feel their best, no matter their individual concerns. If you’ve been thinking about undergoing a cosmetic procedure but aren’t quite sure where to start, we’ve highlighted three of our most popular cosmetic treatments for men.

Laser Hair Removal

While laser hair removal is typically advertised as being for the legs or the arms, we can perform this treatment on nearly every part of the body. That means we can provide long-term hair removal for the face, beard, ears, chest, back, feet, toes, abdomen and more. We use precise laser light to directly target the hair follicles while avoiding the surrounding skin. This light damages the follicles which prevents them from regrowing in the near future. This treatment works best for men with darker hair and traditionally requires multiple sessions to get the best results.

Non-Surgical Fat Reduction by SculpSure®

If you exercise regularly and have a healthy diet, you know how bothersome it can be when you have excess fat that won’t disappear no matter how hard you try to lose it. Luckily, non-surgical fat reduction by SculpSure® is designed to help reduce the appearance of excess fat without the need for surgery or lengthy recovery times. This treatment uses precise warmth to target fat cells, which are then naturally reduced by the body. Each non-surgical fat reduction session lasts less than 30 minutes and carries little to no downtime, so you can go back to enjoying your day-to-day life shortly after treatment.

Laser Tattoo Removal

Life happens. For whatever reason, if you have a tattoo that you no longer want or want resized, we can help you fully or partially remove it. We use FDA-approved lasers to treat tattoos of all shapes, sizes and colors. The number of treatments you will need depends on multiple factors including tattoo size, age, color, depth and a number of additional variables. Our licensed laser specialists have years of experience treating tattoos and can help you to determine the best course of action based on your unique situation.

As you can see, men are taking advantage of and benefiting from a wide range of cosmetic services.

What Does Laser Hair Removal Feel Like?

Laser Hair Removal, Uncategorized blog, cosmetic treatment, laser hair removal, laser treatment, skincare

If you are tired of shaving or just looking to remove bothersome hair, chances are you have considered getting laser hair removal. When it comes to this treatment, patients tend to have a lot of questions such as how much does laser hair removal cost and how many treatments will they need. However, the most common questions our certified laser technicians get asked are what does treatment feel like and will it be uncomfortable. Since pain is subjective, it can be hard to give a definitive answer. Luckily, at Laser Lights Cosmetic Laser Center, we have decades of experience treating patients and have some insight about what to expect.

As the name suggests, laser hair removal works to remove unwanted facial and body hair by using a special laser to treat hair follicles. Since the light from the laser is attracted to dark pigments, the energy pulls directly into the hair without disturbing the surrounding skin. Because of this, laser hair removal works best for people who have dark hair.

Even though the lasers use heat, patients may not feel any hot sensations. Laser hair removal treatment has been described as feeling like your skin is being snapped with a rubber band. To help minimize pain, your provider may apply a numbing cream to the area before treatment. After treatment, you may experience temporary, mild discomfort such as redness and slight irritation. During this time, your skin will be sensitive, so you should avoid UV rays and make sure to wear sunscreen with a SPF of 30 or higher.

The level of discomfort you may experience during treatment depends on what location of the body you choose to get treated. The more sensitive the skin is, the more uncomfortable the treatment session is likely to be. Areas with thick skin such as the back, arms and legs have the lowest levels of discomfort for most people. On the other hand, areas with sensitive skin such as the underarms and the bikini line tend to be more uncomfortable.

Everyone has a different level of pain tolerance and we want to know if you’re worried about any pain or discomfort. Our expert technicians want you to feel as comfortable as possible during your laser hair removal treatment. If you’re interested in learning more about laser hair removal or have any questions about the treatment, contact Laser Lights Cosmetic Laser Center in Duluth today.

How to Care for Your Skin After Laser Hair Removal

Skin Care, Uncategorized blog, cosmetic procedure, laser hair removal, laser treatment, medspa

If you’ve been dealing with stubborn hair or are just tired of constantly shaving, laser hair removal is the solution you’ve been looking for. The process is simple and quick and the majority of patients see results within their first few treatments. However, if you don’t take laser hair removal aftercare procedures seriously, you could end up hindering your results and damaging your skin in the process. To help, the experts at Laser Lights Cosmetic Laser Center have highlighted a few of our recommendations about aftercare.

Laser hair removal is different from other cosmetic procedures due to the fact that the downtime patients experience is extremely minimal. You’ll be able to return to work and daily life immediately. However, there are still possible side effects as there are with any procedure. Some patients have temporary redness, irritation or swelling at the treatment site, which looks similar to a mild sunburn. These symptoms typically last 1-3 days and have little discomfort.

Rarely, it is possible to experience more severe side effects such as blistering, skin lightening or darkening, infections or scarring. If you get cold sores, laser treatments can also trigger an outbreak. However, if you see an experienced medical expert for treatments and follow your provided pre- and post-care instructions, it is rare to have any of these symptoms.

Immediately after your treatment, there are a number of instructions your medical professional will provide you with that meet your individual skincare needs. Universal recommendations include avoiding direct sun exposure for 4-6 weeks before and after each treatment, not using a tanning bed or any tanning equipment and avoiding additional laser treatment until the area has healed. It’s extremely important to follow these instructions to avoid permanent damage.

Ultimately, laser hair removal treatment is a great option for those looking to remove unwanted hair. Aftercare procedures are simple to follow and essential for a healthy healing process. Your medical professional will provide you with specific instructions to follow post-treatment and will be available to guide you through any problems or issues you may have.

How Many Laser Hair Removal Treatments Will You Need?

Uncategorized hair growth, hair pigment, laser hair removal, med spa, skin

Under the right circumstances, laser hair removal is an extremely safe and effective solution for removing unwanted hair. However, it isn’t as immediate as many people assume. A number of factors go into determining how effective laser hair removal will be for a given person. The amount of treatments necessary to achieve the desired result varies from person to person as well. Fortunately, once you’ve had as many laser hair removal treatments as you need, you’ll save yourself hours of waxing, plucking, and shaving time in the future.

The first things to consider when determining how well laser hair removal will work for you are your hair and skin color. People with light skin and dark hair have an advantage when it comes to the effectiveness of their laser hair removal sessions. This is because, just as blacktop pavement absorbs more heat from the sun on a summer day, darker hair absorbs laser energy more readily than lighter hair does. Thus, people with light hair may need more sessions, as well as people whose skin and hair color are similar to one another. The coarseness of your hair can also make a difference. It’s also important to note that blond, red, and gray hairs don’t respond well to laser hair removal.

The majority of men and women who undergo laser hair removal experience a 10-25% reduction in noticeable hair after just one treatment session. For most people, that percentage goes up significantly with each session. Many people get the results they desire in as few as two to three sessions, but depending on the factors listed above, it may take as many as six or more. In any case, a few or even several laser hair removal treatments are ultimately far less time consuming than daily shaving or weekly waxing.

Because hair grows in stages, each laser treatment you undergo addresses a different phase of hair growth. Your hair is either in a resting stage (catagen), a growth stage (anagen), or a shedding preparation stage (telogen) at any given time. Laser hair removal is most effective during the anagen stage, when your hair is actively growing from its follicle. However, all of your hair isn’t always in the same phase at the same time. This is one of the main reasons we space out treatments over several weeks/months—so that we can reach as many hair in the anagen phase as possible.

This blog is meant to give you some idea of how many treatments you might need, but you can only get the best answer to this question by coming into Laser Lights Cosmetic Laser Center for a free consultation. There, one of our providers can evaluate, based on your skin color, hair color, and hair coarseness, approximately how many laser hair removal sessions you’ll ultimately need.

If you’re looking to make parts of your body hair free in time for beach season, now is the perfect time to get started on laser hair removal treatments. At Laser Lights, we offer a free skin consultation with one of our experts on your first visit. To schedule an appointment or to learn more about our services, please call 770.495.9322.
