Essential Post-Treatment Care and Skin Recovery Tips After completing a laser treatment session, your skin immediately begins its recovery process—and the steps you take in the hours and days that follow can make all the difference in your results. While some sessions involved little to no downtime and minimal care, other post-laser care focuses on […]

How Sun Exposure Damages the Skin Sun damage occurs when ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun penetrates the skin, triggering a series of biological changes that weaken, discolor, and prematurely age the tissue. UV rays—primarily UVA and UVB—reach the skin at different depths and cause various types of harm. UVA rays penetrate deeper into the […]

Debunking Lasers When it comes to medical aesthetic lasers, many misconceptions can cause unnecessary worry for patients. Below is a list of common laser myths & misconceptions and the truth behind them. Myth: Lasers burn or thin the skin.Fact: Medical lasers target specific chromophores—like pigment, hair follicles, or tattoo ink—while protecting surrounding tissue. Myth: Laser […]

What are Photothermal effects? Photothermal lasers use controlled heat to target specific structures in the skin—such as pigment, vessels, or hair follicles. The energy converts to heat, which gently destroys the target while leaving surrounding tissue unharmed. These lasers are typically used for hair removal, vascular treatments, and skin rejuvenation. What are Photoacoustic effects? Photoacoustic […]

Understanding Melasma Melasma is one of the most common pigmentary concerns affecting both men and women, though it can be more prevalent among women with medium to darker skin types. It’s known for its blotchy brown or grey skin patches on the face, specifically around the cheeks, forehead, upper lip, and jawline. Unlike sun spots […]

Today, many aesthetic clinics are adopting non-surgical technologies to help target stubborn fat, especially in the abdominal area. Leading the way is the 1060nm laser, used particularly for its precise targeting and excellent safety profile.  The SlimVive’s (HS-851) diode laser selectively heats adipose tissue into subcutaneous fat, delivering controlled thermal energy directly to fat cells […]

First Laser Session At your first laser session, you can expect a quick and comfortable experience designed to help you feel informed and at ease. Your provider will begin with a brief consultation to review your skin concerns, medical history, and goals, followed by a patch test to ensure your skin responds safely to the […]

What is TRT? Thermal Relaxation Time (TRT) is an important concept in laser treatments that ensures both safety and effectiveness. It refers to the time it takes for a target in the skin—such as a hair follicle, blood vessel, or pigment spot—to cool down to half of the heat absorbed from a laser. For optimal […]

The fractional CO2 laser device delivers powerful skin rejuvenation by creating tiny, controlled injuries in the skin, called microthermal zones. These microinjuries vaporize small columns of tissue, removing damaged skin and stimulating collagen production. Unlike lasers that primarily heat the skin, such as thulium lasers, the fractional CO2 laser actively removes small amounts of tissue, […]

How does your Skin Respond to Aesthetic Treatments? The Fitzpatrick Skin Type Scale is a vital tool used in dermatology and medical aesthetics to categorize how various skin tones respond to light, heat, and UV exposure. Developed to predict a person’s likelihood of burning or tanning, it has become equally valuable in determining how safely […]
