Laser & Frax Therapy

Non-ablative laser skin therapies offer a range of benefits for individuals seeking to enhance their skin's appearance and address specific concerns. These treatments use laser technology to penetrate the skin's deeper layers without removing the outermost layer, resulting in minimal downtime and less discomfort compared to ablative procedures. The aesthetic advantages of non-ablative laser therapies encompass various aspects of skin enhancement, making them a sought-after option for achieving smoother, more youthful, and radiant skin.

Laser facials, a subset of non-ablative laser treatments, rejuvenate the skin by stimulating collagen production and promoting an even skin tone. These facials target fine lines, wrinkles, and texture irregularities, resulting in a smoother complexion and a youthful glow. Skin tightening treatments, another non-ablative option, utilize laser energy to stimulate collagen contraction and firm up lax skin. This tightening effect can lead to improved contours and a more youthful appearance without the need for surgery.

Non-ablative fractionated laser treatment is highly effective for resurfacing without the discomfort associated with traditional ablative treatments. It's renowned for addressing scars, stretch marks, and uneven skin texture. The controlled micro-injuries created by the laser promote skin healing and renewal, leading to improved skin texture over time.

The versatility of non-ablative laser therapies extends to the treatment of vascular lesions, such as spider veins and broken capillaries. By targeting the blood vessels without affecting the surrounding skin, lasers can safely and effectively minimize the appearance of these lesions.

Laser hair removal is another remarkable benefit of non-ablative laser therapies. It provides a lasting solution to unwanted hair by targeting the hair follicles at the source and inhibiting their regrowth. This can result in smoother skin and reduced reliance on temporary hair removal methods.

Additionally, non-ablative lasers can effectively address pigmented lesions, such as sun spots and freckles, by breaking down excess melanin and promoting a more even skin tone. They can also aid in the treatment of acne by targeting bacteria and reducing inflammation, resulting in clearer skin. For individuals with rosacea, non-ablative lasers can help manage redness and visible blood vessels, contributing to improved complexion.

In conclusion, non-ablative laser skin therapies offer a plethora of aesthetic benefits that span from addressing various skin concerns to enhancing the overall appearance of the skin. Whether it's through laser facials, skin tightening, fractionated laser treatment, vascular lesion treatment, hair removal, or the management of pigmented lesions, acne, and rosacea, these treatments provide versatile and transformative solutions for achieving smoother, more youthful, and rejuvenated skin. Consulting with a licensed heathcare professional is essential to determine the most suitable non-ablative laser therapy for individual skin needs and goals.​

Laser Hair Removal

Laser hair removal offers a range of benefits for individuals seeking a long-lasting solution to unwanted hair. Some of the primary benefits include:

1. Lasting Results: Laser hair removal provides long-lasting reduction in hair growth. Over a series of sessions, the treated hair follicles are damaged, leading to slower regrowth and thinner hair. Many individuals experience permanent hair reduction after completing the recommended sessions.

2. Precision: Laser technology allows for precise targeting of hair follicles without damaging the surrounding skin. This precision minimizes the risk of skin irritation and ensures effective hair removal.

3. Speed and Efficiency: Laser hair removal can cover larger areas of the body quickly. Smaller areas, such as the upper lip or underarms, can be treated in minutes, while larger areas like the legs or back may take longer.

4. Reduced Ingrown Hairs: Unlike traditional hair removal methods like shaving or waxing, laser hair removal reduces the occurrence of ingrown hairs. It works well for individuals prone to ingrown hairs or folliculitis.

5. Minimal Discomfort: Most individuals report minimal discomfort during the procedure. Modern laser systems incorporate cooling mechanisms to keep the skin comfortable during treatment.

6. Reduction in Skin Irritation: Repeatedly shaving an area of skin leads to skin irritation, redness, exposed follicles, an irregular appearance and texture, and increased risk for infection. The removal/reduction of hair in the treated area(s) means no irritation from repeatedly having to shave in that area, effectively curing the patient of chronic “razor burn.”  

7. Versatile: Laser hair removal is suitable for various body areas, including the face, legs, arms, underarms, bikini area, and more.

There are different types of laser systems used for hair removal, including Alexandrite lasers, Nd:YAG lasers, and IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) devices. Each type has specific advantages based on skin type, hair color, and the area being treated. At ONE Vida we have all three modalities available so your provider will be able to customize your skin care treatment plan for what is right for you without limitation.

Laser hair removal can effectively target different areas, including:

- Face: Upper lip, chin, cheeks, and forehead.

- Body: Chest, back, arms, legs, underarms, and bikini line.

- Sensitive Areas: Brazilian, buttocks, and nipples.

​

It's important to note that laser hair removal may require multiple sessions for optimal results, as hair grows in different phases. The number of sessions depends on factors such as hair color, skin type, and the area being treated. Consulting with a licensed healthcare provider can help create a personalized treatment plan to achieve the best results.  Our team at ONE Vida is committed to providing you the best possible results and our multidisciplinary team offers their expertise and experience to enhance each patient’s journey to ensure the best possible outcome and experience.
