laser lights medical spa lawrenceville GA Some of the cosmetic treatments that we perform are meant to hone in on one specific aesthetic concern. Other treatments are consistently in demand due to their ability to treat a wider variety of issues for patients. We have had incredible success over the years using Réjuvapen® Microneedling treatments to address several of the most common imperfections that affect the facial skin. To help better get to know this outstanding treatment option and how it can help, here are some of the most notable benefits of Réjuvapen® Microneedling.

Versatility

As we already mentioned, Réjuvapen® Microneedling treatments can be used to effectively address many of the most familiar facial blemishes that people experience. This includes fine lines and wrinkles, overly large pores, acne scarring, and more. Regardless of why a patient is interested in microneedling, they will almost surely leave the treatment with a more clear and glowing complexion than they came in with.

Near Immediate Results

Unlike some other treatments that require some waiting to see noticeable aesthetic results, the differences from Réjuvapen® Microneedling can often be seen a few days following the treatment. The skin should look plumper and healthier when the treatment session has concluded, and continue to improve in the following weeks as the skin naturally heals itself and produces more collagen.

Very Little Recovery Time

Recovery time is typically minimal following microneedling treatments and very little to no downtime should be required. Some degree of skin irritation and redness is normal during the first few days after treatment. We recommend waiting until these effects have passed before applying makeup in order to let the skin fully heal. The facial skin may also be more sensitive to the sun in the days immediately following treatment, so be sure to apply sunscreen and wear a hat for any long period spent outdoors.

We are proud to offer Réjuvapen® Microneedling as a fantastic way for our patients to rejuvenate their appearance and treat so many of the common signs of facial texture and aging. If you think that you might be a good candidate for microneedling and would like to learn more, please contact Laser Lights Cosmetic Laser Center at (770) 495-9322 for a complimentary consultation.

What Laser Tattoo Removal Can and Cannot Do

Tattoo Removal, Uncategorized cosmetic procedure, laser, laser tattoo removal, laser treatment, medical spa

If you have an unwanted tattoo, chances are you have looked into different removal options. Compared to other treatments, laser tattoo removal continues to be one of the safest and most effective removal methods available. In an effort to help you get a better understanding about what laser tattoo removal can and cannot do, we have provided a few insights you should know about this treatment.

Laser Tattoo Removal Can Remove Older Tattoos

There is a notion that older tattoos are harder to remove compared to newer ink; however, the opposite is true. When laser tattoo removal is performed, wavelengths of light are used to target specific pigments in the tattoo’s ink. The ink is then broken into tiny particles which are absorbed by the body. Tattoos naturally fade over time, so older tattoo ink is much easier to remove because part of the laser’s job is already done. Additionally, your tattoo must be fully healed in order to undergo laser tattoo removal which means older tattoos are easier to treat.
Laser Tattoo Removal Results Cannot Appear Overnight

While an individual laser tattoo removal session typically lasts 20 minutes or less, final results will not be noticeable overnight and the overall removal process will take time to complete. When it comes to determining how many laser tattoo removal treatment sessions a patient will require, there are a number of factors to consider including tattoo size, color, depth of ink and age. For the best results, each treatment session is spaced four to six weeks apart from each other which makes removal a gradual process rather than an overnight one.

Laser Tattoo Removal Can Permanently Remove Your Tattoo Ink

During laser tattoo removal, the ink from your tattoo is broken down and absorbed by the body. Because tattoo ink is not a naturally occurring bodily substance, your tattoo will not reappear or rebuild itself after the removal process. However, this does not guarantee that your tattoo will completely disappear because some types of tattoo ink have a harder time responding to treatment.

Laser Tattoo Removal Pre- and Post-Treatment Instructions Cannot Be Ignored

Experiencing side effects after laser tattoo removal is very uncommon and may happen more typically when patients fail to follow pre- and post-treatment instructions. Ignoring proper care guidelines can cause hypopigmentation, hyperpigmentation, blistering, infection, scabbing or bruising. As always, our licensed providers will provide you with specific instructions and answer any questions you may have in order to make your treatments as smooth as possible.
With laser tattoo removal, your unwanted tattoo can now become a thing of the past. To schedule a complimentary laser tattoo removal consultation, contact Laser Lights Cosmetic Laser Center today.

Three Ways to Successfully Maintain Your Skincare Regimen

Skin Care, Uncategorized medical spa, microneedling, skin care, skin care regimen, skin health

When it comes to caring for your skin, the most important step you can take is maintaining a consistent skincare routine. Regardless of your skin type, you should always cleanse, moisturize and apply sunscreen every day. Plus, depending on your specific skin concerns, you may also need to periodically use products such as exfoliants, serums, retinols and more. Following a routine ensures that your skin stays healthy and protected. However, skipping days or failing to apply certain products can hinder your results. To help you stay on track, the licensed estheticians at Laser Lights Cosmetic Laser Center have put together a few of our favorite ways to hold ourselves accountable when it comes to maintaining our skincare routines.

#1: Undergo a Skincare Analysis

Receiving a thorough skincare analysis by a licensed professional is the best way to determine what types of products and treatments will complement your skin and each other. Doing this is important because everyone has different skin concerns such as acne, dryness, oiliness, sensitivity, and more. Using the proper skincare products ensures that you are able to see positive results.

Along with using the correct products, receiving a cosmetic treatment every so often can help refresh and revitalize your skin. Treatments such as microdermabrasion, chemical peels or microneedling can complement your skincare regimen and boost your skin health.

#2: Label Your Products

If you are using a multitude of skincare products, it can be difficult to keep track of everything. Plus, your routine can quickly become confusing when some products can be used every day, some every other day, some only in the evening and so on. To help keep everything organized, we recommend labeling your products. For example, if you exfoliate twice a week at night, label the packaging “Monday and Thursday, PM.” Doing this will cause much less confusion and will help you to better remember the intricacies of your skincare routine.

#3: Only Use What You Need

Because the skincare market is so expansive, it can be easy to get swept up by trendy products and different skincare fads. If you find yourself using products just for the sake of it, this might be a sign that you need to think about simplifying your routine. Only using what you need will make your regimen go by faster which will make it easier to maintain. Additionally, using too many skincare products can sometimes harm the skin, so reducing this may help improve your skin health.

Taking a few minutes a day to care for your face can sometimes sound easier said than done. However, we believe that the health and wellbeing of your skin are worth it. If you have any questions about your current skincare routine or want to learn more about our wide variety of skincare products, schedule a free consultation with Laser Lights Cosmetic Laser Center in Duluth today.

What Treatments Can Make Your Hands Look Younger?

When it comes to taking care of our skin, our hands tend to be overlooked. Aside from our face, our hands are one of the most visible parts of our body and are exposed to sunlight and other harsh elements daily. Additionally, the skin on our hands is very thin which makes it easy to spot wrinkles and other imperfections when they start to form. Thankfully, Laser Lights Cosmetic Laser Center offers a wide array of hand rejuvenation treatments to help treat current concerns and prevent future damage from occurring.

As we grow older, our hands display the signs of aging in a multitude of ways. These signs commonly manifest themselves in the form of wrinkles, sun spots, age spots, dry skin and lost collagen, among other concerns. Because of this, the type and amount of treatments you might need for your hands will vary from person to person based on personal cosmetic concerns.

We offer numerous hand rejuvenation treatment options for all different types of cosmetic concerns that our patients may have about their hands. After your complimentary in-person consultation, our expert providers will recommend which treatment option can best address your individualized needs. Our recommendations may include one or more of the following treatments: chemical peels, dermal fillers, skin tightening by Viora Reaction™, Silk Dermalinfusion® microdermabrasion, CO2 fractionated cosmetic laser, advanced skincare products and sunscreen.

While there are ways to treat your hands after the fact, prevention is typically much simpler than restoration. Fortunately, there are easy steps you can take to help prevent serious damage from occurring. Sun exposure can cause your hands to age prematurely, so it’s important to protect your hands from the sun by using and regularly applying sunscreen with a SPF 30 or higher. Additional precautions to take include wearing gloves while handling harsh chemicals, moisturizing your hands regularly and visiting your esthetician for follow-up cosmetic appointments.

If you are interested in learning more about our hand rejuvenation treatment options or other services we offer, schedule a complimentary appointment with Laser Lights Cosmetic Laser Center in Duluth today.

How SculpSure® Differs from Other Non-Surgical Fat Reduction Treatments

In The News, Uncategorized cosmetic procedure, medical spa, non surgical fat reduction, SculpSure®, skincare

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.

If you’re interested in learning more about non-surgical fat reduction and how this treatment can help you meet your cosmetic goals, contact Laser Lights Cosmetic Laser Center in Atlanta today.
