Laser Skin Resurfacing

During a laser facial procedure, a pulsed laser light penetrates the skin, removing small columns of tissue and depositing heat into the deeper layers of the skin. In this way, the damaged, superficial layers of skin are able to slough off, while the deeper layers of cells are stimulated to produce fresh, healthy cells and more collagen and elastin fibers, which provides your skin with youthful suppleness, tightness, and tone.

Laser Pigmentation removal

Hyper-pigmentation is the over production of melanin pigment in the skin. This can occur on men and women and it is one of the first signs that appear due to excessive sun exposure. Other causes of hyper-pigmentation can occur from hormonal sources or by irritation or injury to the skin. Treatments are safe & effective.

• Good for the removal of medium to dark brown spots or stains on the face or body. Sun or age spots can be reduced on the hands and arms as well.
• Good for the reduction of sun spots or age spots, also called liver spots.
• Most hyper-pigmentation is considerably improved with multiple treatments.  Most face & body areas can be treated.
  

Laser Spider Vein Removal

The learner will also gain extensive practical skills to successfully apply the medical devices to reduce and remove spider veins from the face and legs. Consultations, analysis, client/patient pre & post care and following  proper sanitation & laser safety protocols for themselves and their patients is an essential clinical aspect.

Photo rejuvenation is proven to:

• Significantly and painlessly reduces the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.
• No side effects or no thermal injury to the skin.
• Brightens the complexion.
