1. Treatment of Unwanted Leg Veins
|
|
What are the benefits?
|
|
Our advanced technology minimizes the redness and bruising normally associated with traditional treatments. Best of all, our technology allows us to treat people of any ethnic origin and skin type including tanned skin.
|
|
How does it work?
|
|
The laser energy is absorbed by the pigment in your blood and collapses the unwanted vein. The laser energy is delivered through a hand-held device with a cooling tip that protects your skin.
|
|
When will you see results?
|
|
The appearance of leg veins will either dramatically fade or completely disappear during the treatment. Some vessels may show temporary swelling that will subside after a few hours to a few days. The redness of the treated vessels will gradually disappear as the healing process occurs. This may take between two and eight weeks.
|
|
How often can you have it done?
|
|
Most patients see excellent improvement after just two treatments. Everyone responds differently to treatments, with some needing only one treatment and others requiring a third treatment. You can optimize your results by closely following the post treatment instructions. The usual treatment interval is eight weeks.
|
|
Are there any side effects?
|
|
Immediately following the procedure you may experience some redness in the treated area. The redness usually dissipates within one to three days. Also, although it is not the intended purpose of this particular treatment, hair growth may be impaired in the treated area.
|
|
How long does it take?
|
|
Most treatments will take between 15 - 30 minutes depending on the size of the area to be treated. Prescribed topical anesthetics should be applied 30 - 90 minutes before the treatment time (this is greatly encouraged to increase your comfort).

2. Laser Hair Removal
|
|
Safe and effective treatments
|
|
Laser Enhancement Center uses the most advanced FDA cleared laser technology for long lasting hair removal, safely and effectively treating all ethnic origins and skin types including tanned skin.
|
|
Treatments that really work
|
|
Laser energy is absorbed by the pigment in the hair while your hair is in its anagen, or active phase of growth.
The laser light is converted into heat, causing thermal damage to the follicle without harming the surrounding tissue.
Hair re-growth is impeded or slowed in the damaged follicle.
|
|
Average treatment series
|
|
Only 30% or less of your hair may be in the active phase at any one time depending on the body area. Thus, a series of treatments will be required to achieve the long-term improvement you desire.
These treatments are spaced approximately 4-12 weeks apart, based on hair growth cycles. Our extensive experience tells us that you can expect to need from 6-10 treatments to each treatment area for long lasting optimal results.
|
|
Typical treatment sessions
|
|
Sessions for an upper lip or small bikini area can take as little as 15 minutes, while larger areas on back and legs may require up to 60 minutes or more.
|
|
How permanent is Hair Removal?
|
|
The average patient in clinical studies sees a 48% reduction in hair growth after three treatments and up to an 80% lasting reduction after five treatments (results vary).
After you have completed a series of 6-10 treatments, any remaining hair will be finer and lighter in color.
Most patients require one or two touch up treatments per year.
|
3. Reduce and Eliminate Shaving Bumps
|
|
Safe and effective treatments
|
|

This advanced technology allows us to treat all ethnic groups and skin types safely and effectively.
Medical Associates' Physicians supervise all laser treatments for the reduction and elimination of shaving bumps
|
|
Treatments that really work
|
|
Laser light is absorbed by pigment in actively growing hair, damaging the hair follicle and thus, hair re-growth is impeded, reducing and eliminating the bumps caused by ingrown hairs.
The average patient sees at least a 75% short-term reduction of shaving bumps within two weeks after just one or two treatments.
Long-term improvement is seen after completing a series of four to six treatments.
One or two annual touch up treatments may be required after completing the initial treatment series.
|
|
Average treatment series
|
|
Only 30% or less of your hair may be in the active growth phase at any one time. Therefore, a series of treatments will be required to achieve the long-term improvement you desire.
These treatments are spaced approximately 4 -6 weeks apart, based on hair growth cycles.
|
|
Typical treatment sessions
|
|
Sessions to treat the neck or bikini area can take as little as 15 minutes, while a full beard and neck may take 45 minutes.
|
4. Collegen Rejuvenation
|
|
What is it?
|
|
Collegen Rejuvenation is a series of 4-6 treatments 2-4 weeks apart. This process of collegen rebuilding plumps up the collegen that settles as we age and fills in fine lines and wrinkles. Studies show a toning level remains for 9-12 months.
|
|
Typical treatment sessions
|
|
Before the procedure a cool gel is applied to the face and forehead. Then the technician will make two passes over the treatment area. Some patients say they feel a warm sensation in the area that is treated. Results can be seen in 3 days to 1 week.
