Frequently Asked Questions For Cellulite Treatments

What is Tri-Active™ LaserDermologySM?
LaserDermologySM is a cellulite treatment using the Tri-Active™ system. It minimizes cellulite, smoothes and tightens your face and body, pre and post liposuction procedures, enhances microcirculation, and therapeutic massage. This system was originally developed 3 years ago by laser scientists in Italy. This innovative technology is used by Physicians and spas all over the world to uncover glowing skin to thousands of individuals.

How will Tri-Active™ LaserDermologySM smooth and tighten my skin and reduce the appearance of cellulite?
The Tri-Active™ LaserDermologySM series of treatments uses deep mechanical massaging action, which works on the subcutaneous tissue beneath the skin. This mechanism increases microcirculation, restores the skin’s normal balance and provides a healthier appearance.

How soon will I notice results?
Individual results can depend on several factors: the area being treated, whether treatment is combined with another procedure, diet or exercise, your age and general condition, and the number of treatments. The procedure is typically done in a series of 10 to 15 treatments in a given area. These can be spaced as closely as 3 times a week, or as far out as once a week. In some cases it may take up to 6 to 10 treatments before you start to see significant results and maintenance is required once a month after desired results.

Is it painful?
The procedure is not painful and not even as strenuous as a traditional massage. Most individuals report that it “just feels great”!

What parts of the body can be treated?
Besides the thighs and buttocks for cellulite, most other parts of the body can be treated as well: the face, the love-handles, tummy, upper arms and neck. This procedure provides noticeable results before and after liposuction and after other aesthetic surgery, such as breast augmentation and abdominoplasty.

Who should not be treated?
Anyone that is pregnant, bronchial asthma or acute asthma, lower abdominal disorder, thrombopheletis, congestive heart failure, hyper-thyroidism, or carotid sinus syndrome. These conditions are affected with the lymphatic drainage and could case complications.

How can LaserDermologySM complement my liposuction procedure?
Because liposuction is a surgical procedure, normal results include fluid retention (edema) and slackening of the skin. LaserDermologySM treatment is recommended after surgery to accelerate the tightening of the area. Treatment prior to surgery may also have added benefits. Consult with your surgeon for what is right for you.

Frequently Asked Questions For Microdermabrasion

What are the advantages of our system?
Our system does not use crystals or other loose abrasives with adverse effects, contaminating the patient or the environment. This is also a wonderful alternative to laser or chemical peels because it is non-invasive, non-surgical and requires no down time after treatment. You will be able to return to normal activities immediately following treatment.

What to expect from the treatment:
Patients experience softer, smoother and cleaner skin after the first treatment. Treatment series vary from 4-10 sessions depending on the type of skin and the desired results.

What will the treatment feel like?
Our treatments are painless yet effective. The degree of effectiveness is controlled by a widely adjustable vacuum in conjunction with varying coarseness of wands. Because exfoliation occurs only as the wand is drawn across the skin, and there are no crystals being blasted against the skin, our system is regarded as more gentle than other systems even at the highest settings.

How will I look following the treatment?
Your skin may look slightly flushed immediately after the treatment but should return to normal in 10-30 minutes. Your skin will look and feel smoother and more youthful even after your first treatment and will continue to improve with additional treatments.

Frequently Asked Questions For Hair Removal

How does the laser remove hair?
The laser emits a beam of light that is attracted to the pigment or melanin in the hair follicle that is in an active growing cycle. A pre-determined pulse duration and energy setting are directed at and absorbed by the hair follicles, disabling the growth of the follicles, resulting in quick, safe and effective hair removal.

What is the advantage of using a laser?
Lasers are precise instruments that can be adjusted to the exact parameters that will specifically disable the hair follicle. The laser uses a wide beam that treats many hairs at once instead of treating hair-by-hair like electrolysis. Because of this, large areas such as your legs, arms, or back can be treated in a short period of time. You will see results that last far longer than tweezing, waxing, shaving, chemical depilation, or other temporary methods.

What does the laser treatment feel like?
The treatment does have a slight prickly or stinging sensation. Most of our clients are able to tolerate the treatment without difficulty. However, since every person’s level of sensitivity is different and treatment areas may vary, a topical numbing crème is available.

What happens to the skin after laser treatment?
Reddening of the skin is the desired reaction. The redness usually subsides within a few minutes to a few hours and returns to normal. Since the laser is not invasive in any way, no bandages are necessary. You are able to reapply your make-up, return to work, and continue with your normal daily activities immediately following treatment.

How many laser treatments will I need?
It has been our experience most of our patients are able to discontinue treatments, knowing they will probably need an occasional touchup, after an average of 5-6 treatments. This is providing that the recommended treatment schedule is followed. It is also important to understand, results may vary depending on the individuals hair type, their stress levels, certain medications and different hormone levels. Keeping in mind some individuals require fewer treatments and some will require more treatments depending on the results desired.

Is laser hair removal permanent?
The FDA has cleared laser hair removal regardless of the laser for “Permanent Hair Reduction” only. Based on our experience we believe that the hair treated will probably not re-grow. Each individual’s treatment response may be different because of their hair or skin type and that they have between 500 and 1000 follicles per square inch, of which many are dormant at the time of treatment, we have no way of knowing if and when they may start growing due to stress levels, certain medications and different hormone levels.

What to expect after laser treatment:
After your initial treatment, you should enjoy a significant reduction of hair. However, it will take 2-4 weeks for the treated hair to push its way to the surface and fall out. With each treatment, the hair in the active growing phase will be effectively treated. A follow up appointment is scheduled in 4-8 weeks after each treatment. Keeping in mind the importance of maintaining your follow up appointments.

What if I have gray, white, blonde, red or light fine hair?
Since the laser is attracted to the pigment in the hair follicle, this hair type or hair color may not be treated with the laser. If this is your case call your nearest clinic, they may have options for the treatment you.

Frequently Asked Questions For Vein Removal

Will laser therapy work on my leg veins?
Although there is no way to tell for sure which veins will respond, a consultation with the Doctor to evaluate and access your veins will be required. Prior surgery or treatment on your veins could affect the treatment outcome. In some cases, further testing may be recommended to determine if there are underlying venous problems.

What does it feel like?
Although many patients report little or no discomfort, some may experience a mild stinging sensation only when the laser pulse is delivered. The cold tip on the hand piece helps soothe the skin as the laser is delivered.

How long will the treatment take?
Treatment time varies depending on the number and size of the vessel(s) to be treated, usually 15-30 minutes.

How many treatments will I need?
In many cases, significant improvement is realized in as few as 1 to 3 treatments. In some cases new spider veins may appear therefore, additional treatments may be necessary. Treatments may occur at 4 week intervals.

When can I resume normal activities?
Although we encourage you to resume normal activities almost immediately, we do ask that you refrain from vigorous exercise and avoid hot tubs for at least 24 hours post treatment. Also avoid direct sun exposure after treatment and if you do go in the sun, protect the treated area with a minimum SPF 30 Sun Block (not sunscreen).

What will the laser do to the veins?
When treating vascular lesions, the blood temperature at the targeted area is elevated to a level that causes coagulation without damage to the epidermis or surrounding tissue. Because the laser energy is absorbed by melanin in the epidermis, as well as the desired target of hemoglobin, the epidermal-cooling feature integrated in the hand piece is used to reduce the temperature rise in the epidermis. Multiple treatments may be necessary to obtain a satisfactory response for some leg veins.
