Laser Hair Removal
Unwanted and unsightly hair does not need to be permanent, which is why at Ageless Rejuvenation Center, we offer laser hair removal as one of our many body perfecting services. Laser hair removal is an effective solution for those clients who wish to remove hair from your face and body. Lasers target the hair follicle beneath the surface of the skin to rid the skin of hair, making painful and irritating hair removal practices like waxing and shaving unnecessary.
We use today’s most technologically advanced lasers to deliver an effective, safe, and comfortable patient experience. The laser hair removal activates the Anagen phase of growth beneath the skin. Dark hair follicles under the skin absorb the intense light from the laser and cause heat to build up and destroy the follicles, thus preventing continued hair growth.
Every hair follicle is in a different growth phase at any given time, laser treatments are repeated, and the result is the progressive decrease in hair loss over time to the treated area. We offer laser hair removal services on the face, arms, legs, back, and chest.
Who Does it Benefit?
The best candidates are individuals with dark colored hair. Unfortunately, light hair lacks the pigment that lasers target, rendering it unaffected by treatment.
Traditional lasers were unsafe and ineffective on darker skin tones; however, because today’s lasers can target the melanin in the hair shaft while leaving skin unharmed, we can now safely treat darker skin types.
The Lumenis SPLENDORX Laser hair removal device lets you customize hair removal and skin imperfections on all skin types and skin tones like never before. This laser is safe to use aon all skin types and given the larger spot size is the fastest hair removal system on the market.
Ageless Rejuvenation Center believes in the importance of delivering body-perfecting solutions that are tailored to each client. Our physicians conduct a thorough skin evaluation to determine the best course of treatment.
The Experience
Our physicians will walk you through the laser hair removal process during your initial consultation. The process is fast and ranges anywhere from 15 minutes to one hour depending on the size of the area being treated.
You will want to avoid waxing or plucking the hair in the area for up to six weeks before each treatment. Electrolysis should also be discontinued or avoided before laser hair removal.
Before treatment, you may experience slight regrowth of some hair, though it is usually more delicate and lighter than what was initially removed. Some patients may experience slight reddening and localized skin swelling, like sunburn, but this dissipates quickly. Laser hair removal has many benefits.
- Eliminates the need for daily hair removal practices
- Ends the discomfort and irritation that occurs from unsightly ingrown hairs or razor burn
- Treating a quarter-sized area of skin takes one second- removing hair on small areas such as the face or underarms can be done quite quickly
- Long-lasting Results- Results from laser hair removal result in permanent reduction of hair in the treated area.
Laser Tattoo Removal
Unwanted tattoos can create an adverse impact on the way you are viewed in employment prospects and relationships. Ageless Rejuvenation Center in Jacksonville, FL offers laser tattoo removal services to help our clients address unwanted tattoos. We recognize that people reach a point in life when tattoos lose the appeal they once had, and changes in age, career, personal taste, or lifestyle often necessitate removal.
We use the PiQo4 laser by Lumenis®. This laser uses Pico and Nanotechnology and is safe for all color tattoos and all skin types. By sending quick pulses of light to the tattooed area, the ink absorbs the light to break down the pigment. The area with the tattoo begins to heal, and white blood cells eliminate inked pigment.
Benefiting from Laser Tattoo Removal
Ideal candidates for laser tattoo removal are individuals with unwanted tattoos, especially those with darker ink colors. Our clients receive top-notch services with unrivaled benefits.
- The PiQo4 laser by Lumenis® is the fastest laser tattoo removal machine available
- Less painful than antiquated systems, giving a more comfortable experience.
- Permanent removal of tattoos in the treated area; once the desired result is achieved, “touch-ups” are not necessary.
Getting to our Appointment
Before your laser treatment, your physician may apply a numbing cream to help ease any discomfort. With the PiQo4 Lumenis® laser tattoo removal system, your treatment begins with a handpiece being placed against your skin. Pulses of light target the ink and break it down.
After your procedure we apply a petroleum ointment to keep the area moist and place a dressing. We instruct our patients to apply a prescription antibiotic ointment to the area as directed by your physician. You should avoid swimming pools, hot tubs, and showering for the next 24 hours to ensure that the area completely healed.
Depending on the size of the tattoos and the colors used, the number of treatments may vary. For those that require multiple procedures, each one is spread out to allow the healing to take place.
Laser Skin Rejuvenation
The patients at Ageless Rejuvenation Center deserve the most effective results when it comes to treating their skin. Our laser skin rejuvenation is a resurfacing treatment designed to reduce facial wrinkles and skin imperfections, such as blemishes or acne scars. We have the most powerful fractional ablative CO2 laser in aesthetic medicine.
At Ageless Rejuvenation Center, this non-intrusive treatment is often the perfect option for stimulating collagen production and reducing minor lines, wrinkles, or discolorations. We use a small laser wand to remove layers of skin and erase imperfections. Damaged skin cells on the outer layer of skin are stripped away, leaving a new layer of healthy skin.
Our physicians select the laser that is best for each patient’s skin type and adjust the intensity settings during each treatment. This allows us to provide a tailored experience to every patient and achieve the most effective cosmetic results.
The Perfect Patients for Rejuvenation
Ageless Rejuvenation Center believes in the importance of delivering beauty and anti-aging solutions that are tailored to each client. The talented physicians here evaluate the skin to make sure you are getting the best treatment plan for you.
Because we often perform laser skin resurfacing as a part of a larger comprehensive treatment plan, we will tailor the multi-procedural approach that will best suit your needs and yield the most effective results.
Preparing for Your Treatment
When it comes to laser skin resurfacing, there are two types which are ablative or non-ablative. The patient’s skin condition is the main factor in determining discomfort, recovery time, and speed of results.
Our CO2 Ablative laser Lumenis Ultrapulse is the most powerful CO2 laser in aesthetic medicine.
During an ablative procedure, we direct a more intense beam of laser light energy at the skin, removing the thin outer layers. A carbon dioxide laser is an example of the type of laser used during ablative laser resurfacing. This treatment typically necessitates a lengthier recovery period; however, results tend to be more dramatic.
In contrast, our non-ablative lasers do not remove any layers of skin, but rather stimulate the growth of collagen. This helps tighten underlying skin and results in a more youthful appearance. This process offers a shorter recovery period with results becoming more pronounced after multiple appointments.
The average procedure will take about 45 minutes if small sections of the face are being addressed. Treatment for the entire face or larger areas of skin can be longer depending on areas treated.
Our team always pushes for the best treatment options for our patients. We pride ourselves on providing procedures that are safe and cutting-edge. Contact us today to learn more about laser skin resurfacing and to schedule a consultation with the Ageless Rejuvenation Center team!
