Laser Hair Removal
At CSLC we have chosen The Soprano diode laser from Alma lasers. Inc. (manufactured in Israel) because it provides excellent clinical results, with a low risk of side effects and minimal client discomfort. Treatment for hair removal is also fast because of a large spot size and super-fast pulse repetition. The Soprano can also be used safely on all skin types, including tanned skin. The treatment starts with cool ultrasound gel applied to the skin which helps glide the laser over the skin with the cooled sapphire window gently touching the skin. The treatment is quick and painless and the client can immediately return to work even after doing an upper lip there is usually no redness on the skin and even when there is a slight redness it is gone within 10 min. Clients usually remark how soft their skin feels post treatment although it does take a 10-15 days for the hair to fall out. Clients can expect to see results after the first treatment. The typical treatment protocol is four to six treatments spaced six to eight weeks apart. "Clients can expect at least 90% hair removal after five sessions. After treatment we remove the gel and apply sunscreen to the exposed areas. No other creams are required.

Photo-rejuvenation
At CSLC we use The Harmony IPL (intense pulse light). Photo-rejuvenation is used to improve the color of skin. It is one of three methods used for the treatment of pigmentation, and the only effective method for treating the facial veins of rosacea.
While the primary purpose of photo-rejuvenation is to improve skin color, some people may get subtle improvements in skin texture – including smoothing of the skin, reduction of pore size, and improvement in very fine lines. Pulses of intense light are applied to the skin using our Harmony IPL machine (IPL is short for Intense Pulsed Light). The intense light is absorbed by structures in the skin that have darker color, namely blood vessels and pigmented areas. These dark structures instantaneously heat up and are damaged by this intense light. The body then repairs this minor damage, and in doing so the blood vessels and pigment spots are absorbed by the body and disappear.
No one understands the process by which skin texture may be improved. Experts suggest it likely relates to collagen tightening and stimulation of new collagen.
Photo rejuvenation treatments are done using our Harmony IPL machine. Intense pulses of light are applied to the skin using a handpiece that has a window about half-an-inch-wide and one-and-an-half inches long. This window is held against the skin and a single flash is given. The medical technician moves the window to the adjacent area of skin and another flash is delivered. The entire face can be covered in about ten minutes and then a second pass is done at right angles to the first pass to maximize results and to ensure that there are no streaks or missed spots.
