Fractional CO2 Treatments

A Fractional laser treatment is focused on addressing skin texture concerns. Whether you have acne scarring, stretch marks, or other unevenness in your skin texture, fractional lasers can help!

Fractional lasers target only a fraction of the skin at a times. This option can be used to treat a number of age-related blemishes, get rid of hyperpigmentation, acne scars, and wrinkles. The laser energy is broken into thousands of tiny beams to treat only a fraction of the skin in the area, which reduces downtime. Fractional lasers can be ablative or non-ablative.

We have something for everyone, every skin color and skin type, and are eager to help you address your skincare concerns. Our staff at ILM has over 15 years of experience combined in training the next generation of laser specialists, and is your one stop shop for all things laser!

How does laser hair removal work?

Laser hair removal uses concentrated beams of light that target the pigment in hair follicles. The light energy damages the follicle, inhibiting future hair growth. Over multiple sessions, this process significantly reduces the amount and thickness of hair in the treated area.

How many sessions of laser hair removal will I need?

The number of sessions varies based on factors like hair type, skin type, and the area being treated. Most people need between 6 to 8 sessions spaced several weeks apart for optimal results. Maintenance treatments may be needed over time.

Is laser hair removal permanent?

Laser hair removal offers long-term hair reduction, but it may not be completely permanent for everyone. Some hair follicles can eventually regrow hair, but it tends to be finer and lighter. Periodic touch-up sessions can help maintain results.

Is laser hair removal safe for all skin types?

Advances in laser technology have made laser hair removal safe and effective for a wide range of skin tones and hair colors, though certain lasers are more suitable for specific skin and hair types. A consultation can help determine the best approach for your skin.

Does laser hair removal hurt?

Most people describe the sensation as a mild pinprick or rubber band snap. Modern lasers often include cooling features to minimize discomfort. Pain tolerance varies, but any discomfort is usually brief and diminishes over time with repeated sessions.

What areas can be treated with laser hair removal?

Laser hair removal is versatile and can be used on many areas, including the face, arms, legs, underarms, back, chest, and bikini area. The treatment can be customized based on the area and hair thickness.

Are there any side effects or downtime after laser hair removal?

Side effects are generally mild, including temporary redness, swelling, or a sunburn-like sensation, which typically subside within a few hours to a day. It’s recommended to avoid sun exposure and use SPF on treated areas to protect the skin as it heals.
