Frequently Asked Questions


What is laser therapy and how does it work?


Laser therapy is a safe, effective, and commonly used treatment, providing optimal results in areas such as the removal of unwanted hair, skin rejuvenation, wrinkle reduction, leg veins, and the treatment of other skin problems.


Lasers work by delivering an intense beam of light that is absorbed by the skin. This light is converted to heat and is absorbed by the cells being targeted, while leaving the surrounding tissue unaffected.


Candela lasers feature a patented skin-cooling device for even greater patient comfort and safety and better results.


 

Is laser treatment safe?

 Yes, laser treatment has been used for many years for a variety of medical and cosmetic procedures.  Candela, the most trusted name in the industry, has pioneered the development of some of the safest and most effective technologies and products available on the market today.

What will my treatment be like?

You and your practitioner will wear safety glasses to protect your eyes during the procedure.  The doctor will use a small headpiece that touches your skin to deliver the light.  You may feel a light spray of coolant on your skin before each laser pulse.

 

 How long will my treatment take, and how many treatments will I need?

 Every treatment, like every patient, is unique.  Consult your practitioner to decide what is best for you based on your needs and expectations.
