Prowave Hair Removal

Limelight™ IPL
Limelight™ IPL uses intense pulsed light to address unwanted pigmentation and vascular concerns. By targeting discoloration such as sunspots, freckles, visible redness, and small vessels, treatment can produce a brighter and more even-looking complexion.
Laser Skin Resurfacing-1540 nm Laser Treatment
A skin-rejuvenating treatment using the 1540 nm fractional erbium-glass laser for comprehensive skin revitalization. It leaves the top layer of skin intact to stimulate new collagen and elastin while addressing concerns such as fine lines, wrinkles, uneven pigmentation, and textural irregularities. Great for all skin types.

Am I a Good Candidate for Laser and Light-Based Therapy?
Candidates include healthy adults seeking non-surgical reduction of pigmentation, redness, unwanted hair, visible vessels, signs of aging, and/or uneven skin texture. Because these technologies work in different ways, candidacy depends on the specific treatment rather than one universal set of criteria.
Skin tone, tanning history, medications, medical history, and the condition being treated can all influence which option is appropriate. Treatment may need to be postponed or avoided in certain circumstances, including pregnancy, active wounds, some skin conditions, or recent significant sun exposure. An evaluation allows our team to recommend an appropriate strategy based on your individual skin profile.
The Procedure
Treatment begins with an assessment of the skin and the concern being addressed. Your provider selects appropriate settings for the chosen technology and prepares the treatment area. Protective eyewear is used when required, and comfort measures vary by procedure. The device or handpiece is then applied to the targeted areas to deliver controlled laser and/or light energy.
After Laser Therapy
Recovery varies between modalities, but temporary redness, warmth, sensitivity, or swelling may occur for a few days depending on the technology used. Patients should carefully follow their individualized recovery instructions, particularly regarding sun exposure and skin care. Consistent sunscreen use is especially important after treatments that address pigmentation or resurface the skin.

FAQs
Will I need to change my skincare routine before treatment?
Certain active ingredients, exfoliants, and other products may need to be temporarily removed from your routine. Your provider can give you instructions based on the procedure and products you currently use.
Why is protective eyewear used during laser treatments?
Laser and intense light energy can pose a risk to the eyes, making appropriate eye protection a critical safety measure. The type of protection used depends on the device and wavelength involved.
