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.
