Laser Tattoo Removal

How many sessions will I need to remove my tattoo?
Most tattoos on average require 10 sessions (some more and some less) for complete removal, spaced 4-6 weeks apart. Factors include tattoo size, ink colors, depth, and your skin type. We’ll provide an estimate during your consultation.

Does laser tattoo removal hurt?
Most patients describe the sensation as similar to a rubber band snapping against the skin. We offer numbing cream and cooling methods to minimize discomfort during treatment.

Will tattoo removal leave a scar?
When performed by trained professionals using proper techniques, laser tattoo removal has minimal risk of scarring. Following aftercare instructions is crucial for optimal healing.

Can all tattoo colors be removed?
Black ink responds best to laser treatment. Other colors like blue, green, red, and yellow may require more sessions. Our multi-wavelength lasers can target all ink colors effectively.

How far apart are tattoo removal sessions?
Sessions are typically spaced 4-6 weeks apart to allow your immune system to clear away fragmented ink particles and your skin to heal completely between treatments.

Can I get a cover-up tattoo instead of complete removal?
Yes! Many clients choose partial removal to fade their existing tattoo enough for a successful cover-up. This typically requires fewer sessions than complete removal.

What’s the difference between Q-switched and PICO lasers?
Both are effective, but PICO lasers deliver energy in picoseconds (trillionths of a second) versus nanoseconds for Q-switched lasers. PICO often achieves faster results with fewer sessions and less risk of side effects.

Can you remove permanent makeup and microblading?
Yes! Our laser technology also removes cosmetic ink including eyebrows, eyeliner and lipliner.

How much does tattoo removal cost?
Pricing depends on tattoo size, colors, and complexity. We offer per-session pricing and discounted package deals. Schedule a free consultation for a personalized quote.

Skin Rejuvenation & Resurfacing

What’s the difference between RF microneedling and regular microneedling?
RF microneedling combines traditional microneedling with radiofrequency energy. While regular microneedling creates micro-injuries, RF microneedling also delivers thermal energy deep into the skin, providing superior collagen stimulation, better skin tightening, and more dramatic results.

How many RF microneedling sessions will I need?
Most patients achieve optimal results with 3-4 treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart. Some concerns like deep acne scarring may require additional sessions.

Is RF microneedling painful?
We apply topical numbing cream before treatment, making the procedure very comfortable for most patients. You may feel warmth and pressure, but it should not be painful.

What is CoolPeel and how is it different from traditional CO2 laser?
CoolPeel is a revolutionary CO2 laser treatment that delivers the benefits of traditional CO2 resurfacing without the extensive downtime. Traditional CO2 requires 7-14 days of recovery, while CoolPeel typically involves only 1-3 days of mild redness.

Can PICO laser completely remove my scars?
While PICO can dramatically improve scar appearance, complete removal is rarely possible. Most patients achieve 50-80% improvement, making scars less noticeable.

How soon will I see results from skin rejuvenation treatments?
Some patients notice improvement after the first session, but optimal results develop gradually over 3-6 months as collagen remodeling continues.

Can I treat old scars?
Yes! PICO laser and RF microneedling are effective on both new and old scars. Even scars that are many years old can be significantly improved.

What’s the downtime for skin tightening treatments?
Most non-surgical skin tightening treatments have little to no downtime. You may experience mild redness for a few hours to a couple of days, but can typically return to normal activities immediately.

How long do skin tightening results last?
Results typically last 1-2 years. Annual maintenance treatments can help sustain your results longer.

Can I remove skin tags at home?
We strongly recommend professional removal. DIY methods risk infection, excessive bleeding, incomplete removal, and scarring.

Will my skin tags grow back?
Once removed, that specific skin tag won’t return. However, you may develop new skin tags in the same or different areas over time.

Is spider vein removal painful?
Most patients describe the sensation as a quick snap or warm pinch. The discomfort is brief and well-tolerated. Facial veins may be slightly more sensitive than leg veins.

Will treated spider veins come back?
No. Once a spider vein is successfully treated and absorbed by your body, it won’t return. However, you may develop new spider veins over time in different areas.

What’s the difference between spider veins and varicose veins?
Spider veins are smaller (less than 3mm), flatter, and primarily cosmetic. Varicose veins are larger, raised, bulging, and may cause medical symptoms like pain or swelling requiring different treatment approaches.

Laser Hair Removal

Does laser hair removal hurt?
Our Motus AY is a painfree laser using Moveo technology that delivers the energy below the skin surface and utilizing a crystal cooling tip for maximum comfort. Sensitivity varies by area—bony areas and the bikini zone tend to be more sensitive.

Is laser hair removal really permanent?
Laser hair removal provides permanent hair reduction, meaning 80-95% of treated hair will not grow back. Some fine, light hairs may remain or hormonal changes may stimulate new growth over time, but results are long-lasting.

How many laser hair removal sessions will I need?
Most patients need 6-8 treatment sessions for optimal results, spaced 4-8 weeks apart depending on the body area and hair growth cycle.

Can I shave between sessions?
Yes! Shaving is the only hair removal method allowed between laser sessions. Do not wax, pluck, or thread, as these methods remove the hair follicle that the laser needs to target.

Why do I need multiple sessions?
Hair grows in cycles, and laser only effectively treats hair in the active growth phase. Multiple sessions ensure we target all follicles as they cycle through the growth phase.

Can laser hair removal treat blonde, red, or gray hair?
Laser works best on dark hair because it targets melanin (pigment). Blonde, red, and gray hair have less melanin and don’t respond as well to laser treatment. However, newer technologies such as our Motus AY are improving results for lighter hair.

Is it safe for dark skin tones?
Yes! Our advanced laser technology can be safely adjusted for all skin tones, including very dark skin. Proper settings and experienced technicians make laser hair removal safe and effective for everyone.

When will I see results?
Treated hair will shed within 1-2 weeks after your first session. You’ll notice less hair growth after each treatment, with significant reduction visible after 3-4 sessions.

Can I get laser hair removal while pregnant?
We do not recommend laser hair removal during pregnancy or while breastfeeding, although there are no known risks. It’s best to wait until after you’ve finished nursing.

What if I have PCOS or hormonal issues?
Laser hair removal can still be effective for those with PCOS or hormonal imbalances, though you may need more sessions or periodic maintenance treatments to address hormonally-driven hair growth.

Can men get laser hair removal?
Absolutely! Laser hair removal is increasingly popular among men for back, chest, shoulders, and other areas. Many male athletes choose laser hair removal for performance and aesthetic reasons.

Body Contouring

Is body contouring painful?
No. Most patients find treatments comfortable and relaxing. You may feel warming sensations and muscle contractions, but the treatment should not be painful.

How many body contouring treatments will I need?
Most patients achieve optimal results with a series of 4-8 treatments, depending on their goals and treatment areas. We’ll create a personalized plan during your consultation.

Is there any downtime after body contouring?
No downtime is required. You can immediately resume all normal activities, including exercise, after your treatment session. Some mild muscle soreness similar to a workout may occur.

When will I see results from body contouring?
Some patients notice changes within 2-3 weeks, but optimal results typically develop over 8-12 weeks as your body naturally processes eliminate fat cells and muscles strengthen.

Are body contouring results permanent?
Fat cells that are eliminated are gone permanently. However, maintaining results requires a healthy lifestyle. Significant weight gain can affect your results.

Can I treat multiple areas?
Yes! Many patients choose to treat multiple areas for comprehensive body transformation. We can discuss combination treatments during your consultation.

Am I a good candidate for body contouring?
Ideal candidates are within 20-30 pounds of their goal weight, have stubborn fat deposits or want to improve muscle tone, and maintain a healthy lifestyle. We’ll assess your candidacy during consultation.

How is body contouring different from liposuction?
Body contouring is completely non-surgical with no incisions, anesthesia, or downtime. Liposuction is an invasive surgical procedure with associated risks and recovery time. Our treatments also build muscle, which liposuction cannot do.

Does Physiq 360 Body Contouring hurt?
No. The treatment should not be painful. You’ll feel warmth from the laser and intense muscle contractions from the EMS, but most patients find the experience comfortable and even relaxing.

How is Physiq 360 different from just working out?
Physiq 360 creates supramaximal muscle contractions that are impossible to achieve through voluntary exercise. One 30-minute session induces approximately 20,000 muscle contractions. Additionally, Physiq 360 permanently destroys fat cells, which exercise cannot do.

Will I lose weight with body contouring?
Body contouring is not a weight loss solution. While you may lose inches and see the number on the scale drop slightly as fat is eliminated, the primary goal is reshaping and sculpting your body.

Can body contouring help with loose skin?
While body contouring primarily targets fat reduction and muscle building, the energy can provide some skin tightening benefits. For significant loose skin, we may recommend combining treatments with other skin tightening procedures.

Technology & Safety

What makes your technology different?
We invest in the latest FDA-cleared devices including Discovery Pico, VirtueRF, Helix CO2, Physiq 360, Motus AY, and Subnovii Plasma Pen. These represent the most advanced technology available, ensuring superior results with enhanced safety and comfort.

Are your devices FDA-cleared?
Yes. All our treatment devices are FDA-cleared for their intended uses and represent the gold standard in their respective categories.

Who performs the treatments?
All laser treatments are performed by Dr. Al Sakrisson who is board certified in aesthetics. We maintain the highest standards of training and safety.

What if I have sensitive skin?
Our advanced technology can be adjusted for sensitive skin. During your consultation, we’ll assess your skin type and customize treatment parameters to ensure safety and effectiveness.

Can treatments be combined?
Yes! Many patients benefit from combining treatments for enhanced results. For example, combining CoolPeel with RF microneedling, or body contouring with skin tightening. We’ll recommend the best combination for your goals.

Pricing & Payment

How much do treatments cost?
Pricing varies based on treatment type, area size, and number of sessions needed. We provide transparent pricing during your free consultation with no hidden fees.

Do you offer package deals?
Yes! We offer discounted package deals for multiple sessions, which provide better value for your treatment series.

What payment methods do you accept?
We accept cash, credit cards, and offer flexible payment plans to make treatments accessible and affordable.

Does insurance cover aesthetic treatments?
Most aesthetic treatments are considered cosmetic and aren’t covered by insurance.

Preparation & Aftercare

How do I prepare for my treatment?
Preparation varies by treatment type. We’ll provide detailed pre-treatment instructions during your consultation. Generally, this includes avoiding sun exposure, certain medications, and arriving with clean skin.

What should I do after treatment?
Aftercare instructions vary by procedure. We provide instructions and are always available to answer questions during your recovery. Most treatments require sun protection and gentle skincare.

When can I return to work after treatment?
Most treatments have minimal to no downtime, allowing immediate return to work. Some procedures like traditional CO2 resurfacing or plasma treatments may require a few days off.

When can I exercise after treatment?
This depends on the treatment. Most laser treatments allow exercise after 24-48 hours. Body contouring has no restrictions. We’ll provide specific guidance based on your procedure.
