Laser treatments are advanced cosmetic procedures that use light energy to rejuvenate and transform your skin using various technologies and techniques. They offer an excellent solution for patients seeking improved skin texture, tone, and appearance without the need for more invasive surgical options.
These treatments are generally quick and comfortable, performed in your provider’s office with minimal downtime, allowing you to return to your daily activities without interruption and begin enjoying the benefits of your refreshed smoother skin.
The skilled providers at Clariday Aesthetics offer a comprehensive range of laser treatments to address different skin concerns and goals, including Accent Prime Pixel RF, CO2 Laser Resurfacing, IPL (Intense Pulsed Light), and Laser Hair Reduction.
Laser Treatments
Accent Prime Pixel RF
Accent Prime Pixel RF is a non-invasive treatment used to rejuvenate skin and improve tone and texture affected by aging. It combines microplasma RF and ultrasound technologies that work together to stimulate collagen production and tighten sagging skin.
This can address common skin concerns like wrinkles, fine lines, uneven texture, and unwanted pigmentation. In a quick 10-15 minute treatment, your provider will use the Pixel RF applicator to deliver targeted energy to the area or areas of concern.
You may experience a warming sensation during treatment, though the integrated cooling system prevents pain for a comfortable experience. Avoid strenuous activity for 24 hours after treatment to maximize results.
Most patients notice visible improvements from the first session, with optimal results appearing after 2-3 treatments. If you like how your smoother, revitalized skin looks, you can schedule maintenance treatments to sustain the benefits.
With regular maintenance, your results can continue to improve over time. However, without maintenance, your skin will gradually return to its pre-treatment condition as the natural aging process continues.
IPL (Intense Pulsed Light)
IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) treatment is a non-invasive procedure that uses multiple wavelengths of light energy to target various skin concerns simultaneously. It delivers controlled pulses of light that penetrate the skin’s surface and are absorbed by pigment or blood vessels, triggering the body’s natural healing process.
This versatile treatment can address multiple skin issues including sun damage, age spots, freckles, rosacea, facial redness, and broken capillaries. In a quick 20-30-minute session, your provider will apply a cooling gel to your skin before using the IPL device to send precise light pulses to the treatment area.
You may experience mild discomfort during treatment, often described as a warm snapping sensation. After treatment, your skin may appear slightly red or swollen, but these effects typically subside within 24-48 hours.
Most patients begin seeing improvements after the first treatment, with pigmented spots darkening before gradually flaking away. For optimal results, a series of 3-5 treatments spaced about a month apart is typically recommended, revealing more even-toned, rejuvenated skin.
Laser Hair Reduction
Laser hair reduction is a treatment that uses concentrated light energy to target and destroy unwanted hair follicles at their growth centers. The pigment within the follicles absorbs the light energy, converting it to heat that damages the hair-producing structures.
This advanced procedure can effectively treat multiple areas, including the face, underarms, legs, bikini line, back, and chest. During a quick 15-60 minute session, depending on the treatment area, your provider will apply the laser device to your skin, delivering carefully calibrated light pulses to the targeted hair follicles.
You may experience mild discomfort during treatment, often described as a warm pinching sensation. After treatment, the area might appear slightly red or swollen, similar to a mild sunburn, but these effects typically resolve within 24 hours.
Most patients require 6-8 treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart for initial results, with maintenance sessions recommended as needed. While laser hair reduction significantly delays regrowth, producing smoother skin for months or even years, occasional touch-up treatments may be necessary for long-term results.
