What we treat
Multiple benefits in one laser treatment.
Melanin-seeking wavelength for sunspots, freckles, hair, blackheads, and surface pigment.
Deeper penetration for redness, rosacea flush, spider veins, and collagen stimulation.
Stack treatments with a facial, CoolPeel, or other treatments.
Laser energy
IPL and BBL send a spread of light at once. A laser photofacial uses a single, chosen wavelength — 755 nm or 1064 nm so energy is directed to the pigment or vessels with less scatter.
Broad-spectrum light is harder to control on deeper skin tones. 1064 nm Nd:YAG is the wavelength we reach for when we need vascular or texture improvement on darker skin tones.
Results

FAQ
No. This is a laser using 755 nm Alexandrite and/or 1064 nm Nd:YAG. IPL and BBL are broadband flash devices.
Typically a series of 3-6 sessions is recommended. Depending on skin concerns, genetics, and other factors some people may need more than 6 sessions before entering maintenance.
1064 nm is the wavelength we use when epidermal melanin needs more protection. When treating darker skin tones for unwanted pigmenation we can also use the PicoWay laser.
