Varicose Vein Removal
If you struggle with small unsightly veins, also known as spider veins, laser treatment may be the right move for you! Within one to three treatment sessions, the spider vein will be visibly improved. This procedure uses laser technology to heat and close the vein, which then gradually shrinks until it’s fully absorbed by the body. Even though new veins can develop over time, the good news is that existing veins do not grow back after removal!
Tattoo Removal
While tattoos are known for their permanency, it’s not uncommon to find that you no longer resonate with the tattoo you’ve committed to. Thankfully, even if you find you’ve outgrown your tattoo, there is a solution! There are a couple of different types of laser tattoo removal that are available. Both options work in different ways to achieve the same goal.
- Dual-wavelength tattoo: This method of tattoo removal uses two different laser wavelengths to break down the particles that make up tattoo ink.
- Dual pulse removal: This method of tattoo removal using both nanosecond and picosecond pulses. This allows for more effective breakdowns of ink particles at different depths and sizes.

Hair Removal
If you find yourself tired of shaving and waxing, laser hair removal is a quicker, easier, and longer-lasting method of hair removal. Unlike waxing, the pain with hair laser removal feels like more of a potential stinging or pinching sensation. Laser hair removal works by using a focused beam of light to target the pigment in the hair follicles. The light damages the hair follicle to remove the hair and hinder the follicle’s ability to grow hair in the future.
MiraDry
If you’re an individual who oftentimes finds yourself sweating excessively, embarrassed of always having sweat stains, or are afraid of bad body odor, MiraDry just might be the solution. MiraDry is an FDA-cleared procedure that eliminates underarm sweat glands, halting unwanted underarm sweat and odor. MiraDry is a procedure that works on all skin colors. Those who have hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating) and axillary osmidrosis (bad body odor) highly benefit from MiraDry procedures.
