Tightening skin in certain key areas can be advantageous for cosmetic improvement. For example: Treating the skin of the forehead can lift the eyebrows and enhance the appearance of the eyes, making the eyes look more open, less tired, more alert.

With each touch of the Thermage treatment tip, there is an immediate cool sensation, followed by a brief hot sensation, followed by a cool sensation. The top layers of your skin are protected with a cooling spray while radiofrequency energy heats the collagen in the lower layers. The procedure is very safe, as it is performed by a technology cleared by the FDA to treat periorbital skin laxity and wrinkles.

Depending on the size of the area treated, the procedure itself may take anywhere from 30 minutes to one hour.

You may return to your normal activities immediately, as there is usually no "downtime." Minimal redness is seen in some patients but it usually disappears within an hour after treatment. There is no special care needed after treatment As a part of good skin care, sunscreen is recommended.

A single treatment has produced good results in a significant number of patients. However, your doctor will assess the number and frequency of treatments required to achieve optimal results for your skin. Repeat treatments will be required for some.

In most patients, results appear gradually over 2-6 months, although some patients will see an earlier response.

Recently published studies show that improvements continue for at least six months after a single treatment session. Other studies show that thermal collagen changes can last several years, depending on the rate of the aging process.

Laser hair removal with Lyra 1064 wavelength laser is a safe, effective and permanent hair reduction method for all skin types. It is the first laser FDA approved for treatment of hair removal on darker and Afro-American skin types as well as the treatment of Psuedofolliculitis Barbae (ingrown hairs). This laser is also safe to use on individuals that may have tanned, althought we do not endorse excessive sun exposure without proper sunblocks.

The pigment in the hair follicle absorbs laser energy, while hair is in its active phase of growth. The laser light is converted into heat causing thermal damage to the follicle without harming surrounding tissue.

Since only 30% or less of your hair may be in the active growth phase, a series of treatments will be required to achieve desired results.
