Laser Hair Removal
IPL/Photofacial
Using powerful, targeted light energy, the photofacial can be used effectively to fade dark spots and reduce many common signs of sun damage. Using intense pulses of light to penetrate deep into the skin, photofacials stimulate collagen and blood vessels below the epidermis to constrict, reducing age lines.
Photofacials can also reduce or minimize redness, pigmentation, age spots, fine lines, and large pores. Photofacials leave the skin feeling smooth and soft!
Benefits of a photofacials occur gradually over the weeks following treatment. Completely non-invasive, this treatment can be used on the backs of the hands and dècolletè as well as the face.
Skin Tightening
Skin tightening treatments are ideal for patients who have wrinkles, want to have younger looking skin, but have ruled out a face lift.
Laser skin tightening is a minimally invasive, non-surgical process that tightens skin by heating the collagen under the skin’s surface, causing the skin to contract. Facial skin tightening may be noticeable immediately and there is no downtime. Additional skin tightening occurs over the next few months, but optimal results typically require three to six treatments a month apart.
BONUS: Laser skin tightening also reduces fine lines and wrinkles!

Spider Veins
Spider veins are extremely common. They are dilated, superficial blood vessels just beneath the skin. Typically, spider veins are not painful, but can be embarrassing. These red or bluish-purple spider veins are often in areas around the knee, but can appear anywhere on the body including the nose, cheeks, chin and legs.
The lasers at Aesthetics at Cima Health can quickly and effectively remove spider veins with minimal discomfort. It generally takes 2-4 sessions to for spider vein removal. These non-invasive laser treatments should be spaced approximately 4-6 weeks apart. (Larger veins may need to be injected via sclerotherapy.)
A consultation will be included to determine if this is the right procedure for you.
Electrolysis
A method of removing individual hairs from the face or body by destroying the growth center of the hair with heat energy. After a very fine probe is inserted into the hair follicle, the hair is removed with tweezers. The most common treatment areas that can be treated with electrolysis include the eyebrows, face, abdomen, thighs, breasts, and legs. Generally, there are no permanent side effects, but sometimes a temporary, slight reddening of the skin may occur immediately after the treatment.
Electrolysis is an effective, alternative approach to hair removal for blonde, white, grey, and red hairs that the lasers cannot remove.
Skin Tag Removal
Skin tags look like tiny clumps of skin and typically occur on sites where clothing rubs against the skin or where there is skin-to-skin friction, such as the underarms, neck, upper chest, and groin. Skin tags are tiny, benign, outpouching of skin.
Using a high frequency needle, the skin tags will be treated at the root and removed. Please allow for some minor down time in the area treated and as the skin tag heals and falls off.
