Wouldn’t it be nice to eliminate or reduce the amount of times you shave? Ever wish you could get rid of or diminish the signs of rosacea or age spots?

 

Now you can. Carroll Hospital Center is pleased to offer an intense pulsed light (IPL) and laser, Lumenis One medical technology, for the treatment of unwanted hair on most body areas and for the treatment of certain skin conditions.

 

In addition to the ability to permanently remove unwanted hair on most body areas including, face, back, underarms, legs and the bikini line, this IPL and laser technology can help with the treatment of skin conditions, including rosacea, age spots, redness and sun damage. Although the Lumenis One does not treat the cause of such conditions as rosacea, it treats the results of the condition. Additionally, when using the Lumenis One for sun spots, the equipment does not actually remove the sun spot but rather blends your complexion and evens out your skin tone.

 

This gentle and safe treatment—for both permanent hair removal and the care of specific skin conditions—is performed by or under the direction of board-certified physicians, in a comfortable, clean and warm environment.

 

Since every skin type and condition is different, the IPL and laser treatment is customized to match each person’s specific needs. You and your practitioner will work together to determine the best treatment options for you, to maximize your outcome.  IPL and laser treatment is safe for most hair colors and has been proven safe and effective for practically every skin type.

 

 

Treatments are fast, involve very little discomfort and do not require anesthesia. While there may be small side effects after a treatment, these side effects are minimal, often only causing a slight reddening or swelling near the treated area, which typically disappears within a few hours of the treatment. Prior to beginning any type of IPL and laser treatment, you and your practitioner will discuss the possible side effects of the procedure you are requesting.
