Hair Removal
How does laser hair removal work? Laser hair removal is a fast and gentle way to remove unwanted hair, with great results. It applies precisely controlled pulses of energy, reaching into the hair follicles that lie beneath the skin. The energy heats the hair, right down to the bottom of the root, destroying it without damaging surrounding tissue or skin.
What does it feel like? For your comfort, our laser is equipped with a cooling device that will cool and protect your skin. Each pulse, which lasts less than a second, produces a slight pricking feeling. In particularly sensitive areas, such as the upper lip, it may feel like a quick, pinch or rubber band snap.
How long will the treatment take? The length of the procedure depends on the area being treated. An males back can be done in 1- 1.5 hours, underarm cans be done in 2-3 minutes, a upper lip can be done in 30 seconds.
Is it suitable for everyone? Southgate Skin Center customizes the treatment to exactly match your hair and skin color and type. As long as there is some color in your hair, our system will be effective.
What about side effects? The procedure is completely safe. The energy used by Southgate Skin Center is 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 that most likely will fade in minutes or hours. 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 period of 2 weeks.
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 in the growth phase at the time of the last treatment. You will need a minimum of four treatments to get the optimum results.
What results can I expect? At the end of the treatment program you can expect your skin to remain smooth. Some small areas of regrowth can occur over time that can be quickly treated.
Spider Vein Treatment/Pigmented Lesion Removal
What areas can be treated? Veins and lesions can be treated on any part of the body, except close to the eye.
What results can I expect? Some spider veins fade immediately. Some may bruise and take 5-10 days for the bruise to heal. Lesions may take on a darker color after treatment. They may form a crust that will fall off after 5-10 days.
What does it feel like? You may feel a pinch for a few seconds with each laser pulse.
How many treatments will I need? Spider veins and lesions require one to two treatments.
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, tighter, 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 begin to feel smoother, tighter, and will have a more even tone. These improvements are gradual and will be more visible after each treatment. At least four treatments are performed for optimal results.
Who are the best candidates for skin rejuvenation treatments? The best candidates for skin rejuvenation treatments are:
People who suffer from rosacea and experience flushing and redness of their skin.
People with early aging changes and sun damage, who desire healthier more youthful-appearing skin.
People who dont want to take time off to heal from laser resurfacing or chemical peels.
Active people who don't want the treatments to interfere with social or outdoor activities.
