Our patients often see significant improvements in their skin after just a single treatment. For best results, we recommend three to five treatments spaced two to three weeks apart.
IPL
Intense Pulsed Light, or IPL, is an effective technology used for photo rejuvenation. Also known as a photofacial, this treatment is an excellent option for the treatment of brown spots and sun damage on your face, chest, arms, and hands without the use of gel or topical anesthetics. Signs of sun damage and age spots generally flake off after one or two treatments, leaving clearer, younger looking skin.
Laser Hair Removal
Laser hair removal is one of the most popular kinds of laser treatments here at our Boston skin center, and for good reason. Thanks to recent developments in laser technology, now those with any skin type (including darker skin tones) can permanently reduce unwanted hair. Our state-of-the-art machines use light at an optimized wavelength to target the unwanted hair follicles without irritating the surrounding tissues. Laser hair removal treatment at Boston Plastic Surgery is fast, gentle, and effective.
