What does it 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 it suitable for everyone?
At Metropolitan Laser Institute we customize the 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 system will be effective.

What about side effects?
The energies used by Metropolitan Laser Institute (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 treatment, although it is advisable to keep the skin protected from exposure to direct sunlight for a short period of time.

How many treatments will I need?
Our 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 treatments. Normally six treatments are recommended to get the optimum results and our written guarantee.*

What results can I expect?
At the end of the treatment program you can expect your skin to remain smooth.

Skin Rejuvenation Treatment

What areas can be treated?
Treatments utilizing Skin Rejuvenation technology can be used on any part of the skin. They are especially effective for improving the appearance of the face, neck and chest.

What results can I expect?
You can expect to see a gradual decrease in overall redness, flushing and dilated capillaries. 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 with rosacea see an improvement in breakouts and are able to decrease or discontinue their medications.

What is a Skin Rejuvenation treatment like?
Each treatment takes approximately 20 to 40 minutes. A mild amount of discomfort can be expected. Immediately following a 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.

How soon will I see results?
After your first 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 treatments are performed for optimal results. Some patients will benefit from additional treatments.
