Before Your Treatment
Do I need a consultation before treatment?
A consultation may be recommended depending on the treatment. We will evaluate your skin, discuss your goals, review your medical and treatment history, and determine whether the procedure is appropriate for you.
Is laser treatment safe?
Laser treatments can be safe when performed with the appropriate equipment, settings, and protocols for the individual client. Every treatment begins with an assessment of your skin and treatment area.
Can I get laser treatments if I have tanned skin?
It depends on the treatment and your current skin tone. Recent tanning can increase the risk of unwanted skin reactions, so your skin should be evaluated before treatment.
Do I need to use sunscreen after treatment?
Yes. Daily broad-spectrum SPF 30+ is strongly recommended, especially after treatments involving pigmentation or laser resurfacing.
Can I combine different treatments?
Some treatments can be combined, while others should be performed separately. Your treatment plan will depend on your skin, the area being treated, and your goals.
Spider Vein / Capillary Removal
What are spider veins and broken capillaries?

How many treatments will I need?
Is the treatment painful?

Can Laser Genesis reduce wrinkles?
It can help soften the appearance of fine lines and improve overall skin texture. Results are gradual and typically improve with a series of treatments.

A series of treatments is usually recommended for best results. Your treatment plan depends on your skin condition and goals.
Is there downtime?
Laser Genesis typically requires little to no downtime. Mild redness or warmth may occur temporarily after treatment.

Sun / Age Spot Removal
What are sun and age spots?
Sun and age spots are areas of increased pigmentation that commonly develop as a result of sun exposure and aging.
How does laser treatment remove pigmentation?
The laser targets excess pigment in the skin. The treated pigment may temporarily become darker before gradually fading or being shed.
How many treatments will I need?
Some spots may respond after one treatment, while others may require additional sessions. Results depend on the type and depth of pigmentation.
Can I have this treatment during summer?
Sun exposure can increase the risk of complications after pigmentation treatments. Strict sun protection is essential, and your skin should be evaluated before treatment.
Will the spots come back?
New pigmentation can develop with continued sun exposure. Daily broad-spectrum SPF and sun protection are important for maintaining results.
Skin Tag Removal
What is a skin tag?
A skin tag is a small, soft growth of skin that is usually harmless and commonly appears in areas where skin rubs against skin or clothing.
Can all skin tags be removed?
Not every growth should automatically be treated as a skin tag. Any unusual, changing, bleeding, or suspicious growth should be evaluated by a medical professional before removal.
Is skin tag removal painful?
Most treatments involve only mild discomfort. The sensation depends on the size and location of the skin tag.
How long does healing take?
Healing time varies depending on the size and location of the treated area. Aftercare instructions should be followed carefully.
Can skin tags come back?
A removed skin tag generally does not grow back in the exact same spot, but new skin tags may develop elsewhere.
Freckle Removal
Can freckles be removed with a laser?
Laser treatment can lighten the appearance of certain freckles and areas of pigmentation. Results depend on your skin type and the type of pigmentation.
How many treatments will I need?
Some freckles may improve significantly after one treatment, while others may require multiple sessions.
Will my freckles come back?
Freckles can darken or return with sun exposure. Consistent daily SPF is very important after treatment.
Is there downtime?
Depending on the treatment and your skin, freckles may temporarily darken or form light crusting before the pigment fades.
Can every skin type be treated?
Not every pigmentation treatment is appropriate for every skin tone. A consultation is important to determine the safest approach for your skin.
Permanent Makeup Removal
What permanent makeup can be removed?
Laser removal may be used for certain types of permanent makeup, such as eyebrows and other cosmetic pigmentation, depending on the pigment and color.
How many sessions will I need?
Permanent makeup usually requires multiple sessions. The number varies depending on pigment color, depth, age, and the type of pigment used.
Will all the pigment disappear after one treatment?
Usually, no. Pigment is gradually broken down and cleared by the body, so treatments need to be spaced apart.
Can all PMU colors be removed?
Different pigments respond differently to laser treatment. Some colors can be more difficult to treat and may require a specialized approach.
How long should I wait between treatments?
The skin needs time to heal and the body needs time to clear the treated pigment. Your next session will be scheduled based on your healing and treatment response.
Tattoo Removal
How does laser tattoo removal work?
The laser breaks tattoo pigment into smaller particles, which are gradually cleared by the body’s natural processes.
How many treatments will I need?
The number of sessions varies significantly depending on tattoo size, color, depth, ink type, location, and how the tattoo was applied.
Can all tattoo colors be removed?
Different ink colors respond differently to laser wavelengths. Some colors are easier to treat than others.

Treatments need to be spaced out to allow the skin to heal and the body to clear the fragmented pigment.
