Laser Hair Reduction

Thursday, July 7th, 2011

Have you tried to shave or wax hair away, and irritated your skin? Imagine removing unwanted hair without razor or wax burns! Try what works: laser hair reduction. Drs. LaFerriere and Kienstra offer this treatment (also known as broad band light hair reduction) to patients with large and small problem areas.

How it works:

By sending a filtered and highly concentrated beam of light to the root of the hair follicle, we are able to target the melanin of the follicle; thus reducing the growth of the hair. Most people feel only a slight tingling sensation during treatment, much of which can be completely rid of by using a topical numbing cream.

There is little to no skin irritation from this procedure. The procedure can take as little as five minutes for a small area or up to an hour for large areas. Remember, hair grows in cycles, so you may need several sessions to achieve the desired effect. If you want to reduce up to 90% of unwanted hair, call us at 417-887-3223 and get started.

Fractional Laser Treatments

FractionalLaserFractional laser treatments are a new twist to traditional laser resurfacing. Traditional laser procedures treat the entire surface of the face and are used to smooth away deep wrinkles, but may require extended downtime. Fractional laser resurfacing is a less invasive treatment series that eliminates wrinkles, fine lines and other skin imperfections, while requiring less healing time.

Laser fractional therapy uses gentle pulses that treat only a small portion of the surface of the face at one time. These pulses are effective in treating many skin conditions including wrinkles, acne scars, and sun-damaged skin. Depending on the depth of the chosen treatment, it can involve one session, or a series of treatments that significantly improve skin’s texture, elasticity and clarity, with final results occurring 8-10 weeks after the first treatment.

For more information about fractional laser resurfacing, or to schedule your consultation, call us today at 417-887-FACE.

AcneAcne is a major pain for many teenagers and can be a problem for adults as well. There are many different light-based treatments available that can make your skin clear and smooth including broadband light treatments and profractional treatments that not only reduce oil production, but can also treat acne scars as well by stimulating the growth of collagen.  Our special anti-acne skincare products can help to maintain your new complexion after your light treatments.  Another important tip to remember is that washing skin with harsh cleansers can actually cause the skin to produce more oil. So remember to go easy on your skin and call us at 417-887-FACE to schedule a consultation so you can be on your way to clearer skin.
