What is Hair Removal?

Hair Removal is an alternative to the irritating side effects of shaving and saves time in the morning. Hair removal at our practice can typically treat all skin types. This procedure uses laser light beams to target the hair follicle to reduce hair growth in that area. A series of treatments will be required at 4 – 8-week intervals. You won’t have to worry about waxing, shaving, or plucking!

Who Can Benefit From Hair Removal?

Patients with unwanted hair, irritating ingrown hairs, and those who spend a lot of time and money on waxing or shaving hair can usually benefit from hair removal. It used to be only available for those with dark hair, light skin, and no tan, but now hair removal can treat all skin types. Through consultation with a G Spa specialist, they can determine if this treatment will benefit you. 

How Does Hair Removal Work?

Hair removal works by eliminating the production of hair with laser energy. The laser light is absorbed by hair follicles and destroys the pigment. It does this without damaging the skin and surrounding tissue. It normally takes a series of treatments to achieve ideal results. The most common areas for hair removal are the lip, chin, underarms, bikini area, and legs.

What Are Spider Veins?

Spider veins, also known as telangiectasias, are small, thin blood vessels visible beneath the skin’s surface. They usually appear as a web-like network of red, blue, or purple lines, often resembling a spider’s web, hence the name.

What Causes Spider Veins?

Spider veins are caused by various factors, including genetics, pregnancy, hormonal changes, obesity, aging, and prolonged standing or sitting. They most commonly appear on the legs but can also occur on the face, chest, and arms.

Spider veins are typically harmless but can be unsightly and cause discomfort such as aching, itching, or burning. Treatment options include sclerotherapy, laser therapy, and vein surgery. It is best to consult with the G-Spa to determine the best treatment plan for your case.

How Does Spider Vein Laser Therapy Work At G-Spa?

Laser therapy is a non-invasive procedure that uses a focused beam of light to target and shrink spider veins. The laser emits a specific wavelength of light that is absorbed by the hemoglobin in the blood within the spider veins. This causes the blood vessels to coagulate and eventually collapse, leading to their disappearance or fading.

The laser is directed onto the skin over the affected area during the procedure. The laser beam is absorbed by the spider veins, which causes them to heat up and eventually seal shut. The laser treatment is generally well-tolerated and does not require anesthesia.

After the procedure, patients may experience mild redness, swelling, or bruising in the treated area, but this usually resolves within a few days. Multiple treatment sessions may be necessary to achieve optimal results, depending on the severity of the spider veins.

Is Spider Vein Laser Therapy Safe?

Laser therapy is considered safe and effective for treating spider veins, but as with any medical procedure, there are risks and potential side effects. It is important to discuss the benefits and risks of laser therapy with a qualified healthcare professional before undergoing treatment.

What is ResurFX™?

Among the most effective skincare treatments we offer is laser skin resurfacing for our patients using the ResurFX™ system. It is the only truly non-ablative fractional laser treatment, and it’s a safe and comfortable option for successfully treating skin concerns on both the face and body. It is a non-ablative laser, meaning it stimulates the skin to develop collagen without harming any tissue.

Who Can Benefit From ResurFX™?

The ResurFX™ is a great option for patients who want to treat various skin conditions with minimal downtime. This gentle laser treatment can treat age spots, fine lines, wrinkles, stretch marks, loose skin, uneven skin texture, reduce scarring, liver spots, sun damage, and more. 

How Does ResurFX™ Work?

As collagen grows, the skin looks tighter, more even, and more youthful. ResurFX™ is also a fractional laser, meaning the laser light that is delivered to the skin is divided into tiny dots. Unlike other fractional devices, ResurFX™ requires only one pass over the skin to produce effective results, reducing treatment time. The device allows for highly customizable treatments, as we can adjust factors such as laser shape, size, density, and energy strength to fit each patient’s precise needs.
