Bye Bye Razors, Hello Lasers

What is LHR?

Laser Hair Removal (LHR) reduces unwanted hair permanently through the use of a laser. Hair growth patterns change with age. Whether it’s hair you’ve always had, or hair you’ve acquired over time, LHR could be an option for you. The laser works on follicles that are actively producing hair at the time of the treatment, so several treatments are necessary to get the follicles during their growth phase. Most areas require 3 to 6 treatments, spaced 6 to 8 weeks apart. Optimal long-term benefits depend on hair thickness, the area treated, and the particular natural growth cycle of the hair.

How does it work?

The laser uses the transfer of energy in the form of the laser light. The pigment in the hair follicle absorbs the laser light and converts it to heat. The heat loosens the hair and disables the cell from producing new hair. Simply put, the laser causes localized damage to the hair by selectively heating the dark pigment in the follicle, leaving the rest of the skin untouched.

What are the treatment areas?

At Glazer Facial Plastic & Cosmetic Surgery, we use the gold-standard Cutera System because not all lasers are created equal!  We can treat all skin tones and types with this best-on-the-market laser hair removal system. Treatment areas include face, legs, arms, underarms, back, bikini line, nipples and chest. We prefer no suntan in the area that is being treated, and only shaving prior to the treatment.

What to expect during and after a treatment?

The Cutera sends out bursts of cold air with each laser pulse. Most patients report a sensation of heat or stinging, so this cold air increases the comfort of the treatment. We can vary the intensity of the treatment for your comfort as well. After a treatment the area could be slightly red, and may feel like a mild sunburn. It’s important to use sunscreen if the area has to be exposed to the sun.

If you’re interested in shedding that unwanted hair for good, contact us to schedule a treatment. Take back that time you spend shaving in the shower. ‘Like’ us on Facebook and Instagram to see exclusive social-media-only Promotions and Giveaways. (219) 878-5031

The Secret is out! RF Microneedling is a Skin Game Changer!

Secret RF is one of the most effective treatments to tighten skin and improve fine lines and wrinkles, especially around the eyes, mouth, and cheeks.

Secret RF is also effective at reducing pore size, acne scars, and stretch marks. You will love the results as much as we do! During a treatment, microneedles penetrate the dermis and deliver fractional radiofrequency energy into the lower layers of subdermal tissue, at various depths. This triggers a healing response, which stimulates new collagen production and accelerates cell regeneration.

The secret of Secret RF is the perfectly spaced, micro-needles, which emit high-energy radio-frequency waves to target deeper layers of the skin. The precisely controlled RF energy applied directly to the skin at various depths stimulates the natural process of renewal in the skin without the risk of over-heating the skin or burning.

The procedure stimulates the regeneration of collagen and elastin production, providing lasting aesthetic effects. It is quick, lasting only 30 minutes with little to no recovery time.

Cutera’s Secret RF treatment is a wonderful non-surgical option for patients interested in treatment to remove unwanted wrinkles and scars with little to no downtime. It’s a safe, effective solution with many people seeing skin improvements after the first treatment, with optimal results seen after three treatments.

Get Real Results with No Downtime

LASER GENESIS

Laser Genesis is a non-invasive laser facial treatment that will help tighten large pores, effectively treat fine lines, and diffuse redness by thickening the skin. The laser penetrates the collagen layer and stimulates contraction to tighten and tone. Laser Genesis also closes down tiny veins that cause persistent redness of the skin. This laser restores skin’s healthy appearance and glow. It also improves the appearance of rosacea and scars. You might be a little flushed after this non-invasive treatment, but this typically resolves in less than 2 hours and you will experience no downtime.

The Laser Genesis procedure utilizes non-invasive laser technology to safely, naturally, and effectively treat fine lines, diffuse redness, and improve the appearance of rosacea and scars. By gently heating the upper dermis well below the skin’s surface, Laser Genesis improves the appearance of wrinkles through collagen stimulation. Additional heat is generated in dilated capillaries to reduce redness. This non-ablative, no downtime laser may require four to six treatments in order to achieve optimal results; however, you can expect to see consistent results after each treatment.
