Laser Treatment

What is laser treatment?

Laser treatment is a noninvasive or minimally invasive procedure that uses concentrated light energy to target specific tissues in your body. These treatments are used for various medical and cosmetic purposes, helping improve your skin texture, reduce unwanted hair, treat vascular conditions, and help regenerate tissues.

What issues can laser treatment address?

Laser treatments can address various concerns, including:

• Unwanted hair: laser hair removal targets hair follicles to slow or stop hair growth
• Skin rejuvenation: helps reduce fine lines, wrinkles, sun damage, and acne scars
• Vascular concerns: treats spider veins and broken capillaries by collapsing and eliminating them
• Vaginal health: vaginal rejuvenation lasers can tighten tissues, increase lubrication, and improve elasticity

It can also address pigmentation issues, reducing age spots, sun spots, and hyperpigmentation.

What are the different types of laser treatment offered?

You have several options for laser therapy:

Elite IQThe Suburban Laser and Skin team uses Elite IQ, an advanced laser system offering precise, customizable treatments for skin rejuvenation, hair removal, and pigmentation concerns. It provides effective results with minimal discomfort.

Laser hair removal

Your Suburban Laser and Skin practitioner uses laser energy to target melanin in your hair follicles, damaging them to reduce hair growth. It’s commonly used on the legs, arms, face, underarms, and bikini line.

Spider vein removal

Laser therapy for spider veins works by heating your blood vessels, causing them to collapse and fade over time. It’s a safe, effective treatment for visible veins on your legs and face.

Vaginal Rejuvenation

Vaginal rejuvenation includes nonsurgical treatments that use laser energy to stimulate collagen production, tighten vaginal tissues, and improve moisture levels. The Suburban Laser and Skin team offers MonaLisa Touch® CO2, a specialized fractional CO2 laser designed for vaginal health. It helps restore vaginal tissue, enhance elasticity, and alleviate symptoms of menopause or hormonal changes, such as dryness, discomfort, and mild urinary incontinence.

Does laser treatment offer permanent results?

Laser treatments can provide long-lasting results, but they’re not always permanent. For example, laser hair removal significantly reduces hair growth, but you may need maintenance sessions. 

In addition, you may need periodic touch-ups for spider vein removal and skin rejuvenation, depending on your lifestyle and skincare. Vaginal rejuvenation results typically last for months to years, with follow-up sessions recommended as needed.
