American Laser Centers – Laser Hair Removal System

How does Laser Hair Removal work?

Laser Hair Removal is a faster, gentler way to remove unwanted hair, with great results. Laser Hair Removal applies precisely controlled pulses of energy (electrical and light, with cooling), reaching into the hair follicles that lie beneath the skin. The energy heats the hair, right down to the bottom of the root, destroying it without damaging surrounding tissue or skin.

What does laser hair removal feel like?

Each pulse, which lasts less than a second, produces a slight tingling feeling. In particularly sensitive areas, such as the upper lip, it may feel like a quick, light pinch.

Is laser hair removal suitable for everyone?

At American Laser Centers we customize your laser hair removal treatment to exactly match your hair and skin color and type. As long as there is some color in your hair (even blond hair has enough color), then our laser hair removal system will be effective.

What are the side effects of laser hair removal?

The energies used by American Laser Centers (electrical and light) are both commonly used in a range of medical and cosmetic procedures that have proven to be safe. Most people experience no side effects at all, though few exhibit some short-term local reddening of the surrounding skin. You can return to your regular activities immediately after laser hair removal treatment, although it is advisable to keep the skin protected from exposure to direct sunlight for a short period of time.

How many laser hair removal treatments will I need?

Our laser hair removal technology destroys hairs that are in the active growth phase, so repeat treatments will be needed to target hair that was not affected at the time of previous laser hair removal treatments. Normally six* laser hair removal treatments are recommended to get the optimum results and our written guarantee**.

What results can I expect from laser hair removal?{

At the end of the laser hair removal treatment program you can expect your skin to remain smooth.

Skin Rejuvenation Treatment

What areas can be treated with skin rejuvenation?

Treatments utilizing Skin Rejuvenation technology can be used on any part of the skin. Skin rejuvenation treatments are especially effective for improving the appearance of the face, neck and chest.

What results can I expect with skin rejuvenation?

You can expect to see a gradual decrease in overall redness, flushing and dilated capillaries after your skin rejuvenation treatment. People with visible aging from the sun can expect to see their skin become smoother, with a decrease in fine wrinkles, reduction in pore size and fading of sunspots. Many people see an improvement in breakouts and are able to decrease or discontinue their medications.

What is a Skin Rejuvenation treatment like?

Each skin rejuvenation treatment takes approximately 20 to 40 minutes. A mild amount of discomfort can be expected. Immediately following a skin rejuvenation treatment, the skin may appear red and flushed, and tiny capillaries may appear more visible. Brown spots generally appear darker. All of these changes gradually fade over a period of time.

These treatments are alternated with Microdermabrasion treatments for safer, more rapid skin renewal.

How soon will I see results from my skin rejuvenation treatment?

After your first skin rejuvenation treatment, your skin will feel smoother and will have a more even tone. These improvements are gradual and will be more visible after each treatment. Six skin rejuvenation treatments are performed for optimal results. Some patients will benefit from additional treatments.

Who are the best candidates for Skin Rejuvenation treatments?

The best candidates for Skin Rejuvenation treatments are:
  • People who suffer and experience flushing and redness of their skin.
  • People with early aging changes and sun damage, who desire healthier more youthful-appearing skin.
  • People who don’t want to take time off to heal from laser resurfacing or chemical peels.
  • Active people who don't want the treatments to interfere with social or outdoor activities.

Microdermabrasion

What is Microdermabrasion?

Microdermabrasion is a scientific method, using fine, inert (micro) crystals to progressively abrade the skin's surface. It is used for skin resurfacing and treating a range of skin abnormalities. Microdermabrasion has been used in Europe for years; now this exciting procedure is helping men and women in the United States experience remarkable improvements in their skin texture, regardless of skin color. With our Microdermabrasion skin treatment program, you can see immediate improvements in your skin's appearance. This unique approach removes dead and flaking skin cells and stimulates the production of fresh, young skin cells and collagen.

What results can I expect from Microdermabrasion?

Depending on the area treated, you will notice an improvement in your skin's appearance after your Microdermabrasion treatment. Stretch marks and acne scars will be less obvious. Age spots and fine lines are reduced, and many Microdermabrasion patients report that their skin seems softer, tighter, smoother and younger looking.

What are Microdermabrasion treatments like?

Micro-crystals are vacuumed through a delicate hand piece, which is held at a precise angle to the skin, producing a skin-polishing peel. In as little as 20 - 30 minutes, this gentle abrasive technique efficiently produces satisfying results. Treatments are applied through a course of weekly Microdermabrasion sessions. Microdermabrasion enhances the skin’s condition by stimulating collagen production and does what no other available non-surgical treatment can do in combating the signs of aging skin. Most importantly, it Microdermabrasion is safe to use on all skin types and colors.

How soon will I see results from my Microdermabrasion treatment?

After your first Microdermabrasion treatment, your skin will have a fresh, pink glow and smoother texture. Improvements continue throughout your treatment program. The number of Microdermabrasion treatments recommended for maximum results ranges from five to 16 treatments.

American Laser Centers Cellulite Treatment

How does cellulite reduction therapy work?

The AmeriSmooth cellulite reduction therapy works by combining a strong physical massage of the cellulite layers under your skin with penetrating heat and radio energy to recontour your body and improve the unsightly appearance of cellulite.

How well does cellulite treatment work?

In clinical research published in the Journal of Cosmetic and Laser Therapy, 90 percent of adult women treated with the AmeriSmooth cellulite treatment system noticed overall improvement. Almost 95 percent of the women who saw improvement planned to purchase additional AmeriSmooth cellulite treatment on other areas of their bodies after the research study ended.

What does cellulite treatment feel like?

The AmeriSmooth cellulite treatment feels much like a deep tissue massage. There may be initially a slight pinching of the skin, which can be eliminated by the technician through adjusting the rollers on the treatment head.

What are the side effects of cellulite treatment?

There may be very slight bruising or reddening after the first few treatment sessions.

How many cellulite reduction treatments will I need?

The number of needed cellulite reduction treatments varies on the area of the body being treated and on a variety of personal characteristics, but patients generally see significant improvement within one month of biweekly cellulite reduction treatments.

What cellulite reduction results can I expect?

Cellulite is a natural part of your body, and no therapy, not even surgery, can eliminate it. The AmeriSmooth cellulite reduction therapy, however, recontours the cellulite layers, and will smooth them out to reduce or eliminate the unsightly ridges or "cottage cheese" appearance of untreated cellulite.


*Depending on hair and skin color, some persons may require additional sessions.
