Laser & light

Hair removal, pigment, redness and texture, treated with medical-grade devices calibrated to your skin tone. Our lasers are safe on all skin types when the settings are right, which is why a provider sets them, not a preset.

Who does it, and what people say

Laser & light treatments here are performed by nurse practitioners, physician assistants, registered nurses or licensed aestheticians, depending on the treatment, working from a plan reviewed by our medical director. Nobody is learning on you.

I'm dark-skinned and had been told laser wasn't for me. They tested a patch first, explained the settings, and eight sessions later I haven't shaved in a year.

Before you book

Is laser safe on darker skin?

Yes, with the right device and provider. Our GentleMax Pro has an Nd:YAG wavelength made for skin types IV to VI. We always patch test first.

How many sessions will I need?

Hair removal: six to eight. IPL: three. Resurfacing: one to three depending on depth. We'll give you a number at the consultation and a package price to match.

Can I do this in summer?

Hair removal and veins, yes. IPL and resurfacing need two weeks without sun exposure on either side, so most people book those from October to April.

Not sure which laser & light treatment is right?

That's what the consultation is for. A provider looks, listens and writes a plan. You take it home. There's no charge and no expectation.
