Laser Hair Removal
Laser hair removal offers a permanent solution for people who are plagued with unwanted hair and have grown tired of traditional hair removal methods. Waxing can be painful while shaving is tedious, time consuming and can lead to irritated skin and ingrown hairs. Furthermore, neither method is permanent. In as little as a few treatments, laser hair removal can permanently stop unwanted hair from returning and leave you with silky, smooth skin.
The Best Uses
While women commonly enjoy hair-free legs, armpits and bikini lines thanks to laser hair removal, more and more men and women alike are taking advantage of this treatment to eliminate unsightly back, neck, chest and facial hair. The process is safe, requires no downtime and is more affordable than in years past, making it one of the most popular cosmetic treatments today.

Laser Skin Resurfacing
Many individuals find that their skin concerns can be effectively treated with laser skin resurfacing. Laser resurfacing uses heat from laser energy to stimulate collagen production and the turnover of new skin cells for a refreshed and healthy appearance. Treatments are completely noninvasive and require minimal downtime.
The Best Uses
Laser technology can be used to diminish birthmarks or acne scars, erase minor sun damage and refresh and rejuvenate the skin’s appearance. Laser skin resurfacing is highly versatile and isn’t limited to the face. These treatments can be used to create more youthful, smooth and healthy-looking skin almost anywhere on the body including the chest, legs and backs of the hands.
