Is Laser Hair Removal for You?
The popularity of laser hair removal has grown due to
indefinite delay of hair regrowth. Many men and women
have enjoyed the benefits of tossing the razor and saying
“goodbye!” to repeated waxing appointments.
Read on to see if this is the right choice for you.
Am I a good candidate?
The laser hair removal system SkinMedic uses is appropriate
for all skin types. Laser hair removal is only for hair
with pigment. It has been found unsuccessful on blonde
and white hair.
Is it painful?
Patients have reported a moderate degree of pain, which
is alleviated by the application of instant cooling
pack. We also offer a numbing cream upon
request. Some patients experience some redness and raised
bumps for a few hours post treatment. Usually, 6 to
10 treatments are required.
How long will it last?
Unless you experience a hormonal change, the hair will
be reduced indefinitely.

What is Microdermabrasion?
Microdermabrasion is a virtually painless and non-invasive
process. The American Society of Plastic Surgeons define
microdermabrasion as “a skin-freshening technique.”
The process begins with the cleansing and toning of
the skin. Then, a device like
a fine sandblaster is used to spray tiny crystals across the
face, mixing gentle abrasion with suction to deeply
exfoliate the skin. After the exfoliation, the your
skin
will be cleansed and toned again and followed with
a sunscreen.
Are there side effects?
A patient’s skin will feel a slight windburn sensation.
Very little redness will occur after treatment. Any
redness typically subsides in 30 minutes to an hour.
Some patients will experience peeling after the
procedure, as the old skin continues the exfoliation
process.
Will it work for my skin type? Microdermabrasion is
for all skin types and ethnicities. However, patients
with rosacea, eczema, psoriasis, and other problematic
skin should consult with a dermatologist to see if microdermabrasion
is appropriate for them.
What are the benefits?
Microdermabrasion removes the dead, outer layer of skin
cells, oils and other build up. This removal not only
gives the skin a healthy glow and improves texture,
but it also allows skin care products to penetrate deeper
in the skin.
How long will it last?
The effects will last for months, as long as you keep
up your daily skincare regime. As with other skin rejuvenation
techniques, more than one treatment may be needed to
reduce or remove fine wrinkles and unwanted pigmentation.
The ideal to maintain your results is to have the process
done 4 times and, then, repeat the process once per
month for the next three months.
Is it expensive?
Prices vary based on the area of the body treated and
the frequency of treatment. At SkinMedic, a single session for the
face only is $135, and multiple treatment discounts
are available.
