Microneedling or otherwise known as “Collagen Induction Therapy” creates controlled tiny micro-channels in the skin. By methodically creating these tiny perforations, we can activate your body’s natural healing process. Your body will sense that it needs to repair those micro-injuries, and will begin to rapidly generate collagen and elastin. These new skin fibers keep your skin looking youthful, firm, and radiant. This is also a perfect time for absorption of topical serums to increase the benefits of this deep exfoliation. It has been proven to show amazing results time and time again.

The treatment takes approximately 20-40 minutes depending on the area we are treating. Add in 20 minutes to numb your skin for a more comfortable experience.

Immediately after the treatment, you will notice redness to the skin and you may feel slight tingling or tightness. The complete healing time depends on how many overlapping passes were performed and your skin’s own ability to heal. On average, patients experience redness for 2-5 days. Some patients heal completely in 48 hours.

Some patients only require a single treatment once a year to achieve their desired results. However we highly recommend most of our patients receive a series of 2-3 treatments spaced over 6-8 weeks apart. Patients with significant scars or skin concerns are recommended to have 6-8 sessions at 6 week intervals.

Benefits of this timeless treatment range from reduction of acne scars, enlarged pores, age spots, pigmentation and fine lines and wrinkles. You will notice an immediate glow to your skin. Over the course of several weeks you will see changes to the texture and vitality of your skin. Results continue to improve up to 6 months after treatment. We always recommend you use the aftercare products provided to enhance the results.

Laser hair removal is the process of using heat to damage hair follicles. This occurs when the hair follicle absorbs the laser energy. The dark pigment in hair, known as melanin, absorbs the laser energy and is heated up. This heat conducts down the hair shaft and affects the matrix cells, which are heated and destroyed. Hair falls out gradually over the next one to three weeks. Once the hair falls out, new hair will not be able to grow. If some matrix cells persist, hairs may grow in these areas, but they will grow slower and finer.

Since laser hair removal only kills hair follicles in the anagen (growth) phase, multiple treatments are required to permanently eliminate hair.

Laser hair removal is less time-consuming than repeated shaving, waxing, plucking, etc as it offers quick and permanent results. It can even out skin tone and helps to eliminate ingrown hairs.

No! Laser technology has come a long way and the process is quick and virtually painless! Ultrasound gel is applied to the treatment area to help protect the skin while allowing the laser to penetrate the skin. The laser is pulsed over the treatment area and targets the hair follicles. It will burn the follicles but leave your skin relatively untouched.

We use the Soprano Ice laser hair removal machine. Alma Soprano Ice’s hair removal method uses groundbreaking technology to offer a simple solution for truly effective hair removal. The unique gradual heating method effectively damages the hair follicles while avoiding injury to the surrounding skin.
