Tattoo Removal

Young and old love their tattoos. But what if what you thought at the time it was cool, trend-setting or just plain “I don’t know why I did it!”, you decide now for whatever reason, you want your tattoo removed. It may not represent who you are today.

That’s where LaserSheer™ comes in to help. The good news for those who have an unwanted body design, our sophisticated laser technology can help eliminate your tattoo with minimal to no side effects.

Here’s How it Works

The pigment colors of the tattoo will break with a high-intensity light beam. Black tattoo pigment absorbs all laser wavelengths, making it the easiest to treat: in fact, the older the tattoo, the easier to remove. The reason is that the newer tattoo machines go deeper and therefore the tattoo is harder to remove.

Here are some common questions we’ll answer for you:

Does it hurt?

Laser tattoo removal is the least painful of other more traditional methods of tattoo removal. Similar to laser hair removal, the laser tattoo removal feels like a snapping of rubber bands against the skin. It may sting, but it is not as painful as surgical methods.

A topical anaesthetic can be applied to alleviate any discomfort.

How many sessions are required to achieve results? How long does each session take?
The amount of treatments and time depends on the size, color and depth of your tattoo. A consultation with our professionals gives you get a better estimate of the length of each session for you, which can range anywhere from a few minutes to a couple of hours. Sessions can take upwards of 6 to 8 times – and normally 6 weeks apart to give the skin a chance to heal in between.

Will the tattoo disappear?

First, it is important to know that the tattoo industry is vibrant and expanding due to popularity. That means that now there are 100’s of tattoo colors available. Without knowing which tattoo ink your design is created, how deep or how much was used, determining if the tattoo can be cleared completely is a difficult answer. Come in for a free consultation and find out.

Treated skin is sensitive. In fact, as with all treatments using lasers, the treated skin should be protected from sun exposure. Aside from staying covered for a few days, there is hardly any downtime due to laser tattoo removal. You should be able to go back to work or resume regular activities immediately after the procedure. But know that you need several weeks between sessions.

What are the risks?

Risks exist with any cosmetic and medical treatment. Because we’re working on your skin, a sensitive live organ, you will experience sensitivity. Rarely will you experience hyperpigmentation, infection or pinpoint bleeding. Book a consultation and our professionals will assess your skin type and your tattoo.

Laser Tattoo Removal Proven Safe

    Skin Resurfacing

    Erase Wrinkles and Age Spots!

    Laser Resurfacing is an exciting technology that has brought dramatic changes in our ability to treat sun-damaged skin, wrinkles, acne scars, as well as increasing the tone and elasticity of the skin.

    Cosmetic laser skin resurfacing is a method for diminishing the appearance of imperfections on the skin’s surface. During the laser skin resurfacing procedure a laser is used to dissolve the molecular bonds of the damaged skin cells layer by layer until a smoother, more uniform skin appearance is achieved.

    What is the Pearl procedure?

    The Pearl procedure combines the impact of resurfacing lasers with the gentleness and safety of non-invasive procedures to treat aging and sundamaged skin. Pearl reduces wrinkles, uneven texture and solar damage with fewer treatments and less overall recovery than other technologies to provide a healthy, pearl-like glow.

    How does the Pearl treatment work?

    During the procedure, the top layer of skin is treated with pulses of light in a pre-selected pattern. The laser simultaneously sends heat to the deeper layers of skin dressing forms on the skin to minimize downtime during the restorative process. On day 3 or 4, this natural dressing will peel or slough off, revealing new, healthy, vibrant skin underneath.

    Pearl Fractional

    Pearl Fractional is a new, volumizing, fractional laser perfected for treating photo damaged skin in just one treatment. Pearl Fractional offers the best combination of patient experience and recovery time.

    How Does the “fractional” Work?

    The fractional laser exposes only a fraction of the skin to the laser beam in a pattern of tiny dots. With Pearl Fractional, the laser pulse places tiny holes in the skin. Columns of damaged tissue are selectively removed, leaving surrounding skin intact.

    While getting rid of wrinkles is one way to make the most of laser skin resurfacing technologies, the treatment can be used for other purposes. Laser skin resurfacing offers other anti-aging and skin enhancing benefits.

    It can be used to:

    • Firm and tighten loose skin
    • Reduce acne scars and superficial scars from injury
    • Remove age spots
    • Reduce signs of sun damage
    • Reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines around the nose and eyes

    How soon will I see Results?

    Many patients will see improvements after one week, maximum results are seen in three months.

      Laser Vein Treatments

      Protect Your Leg Veins – They have the Toughest job of Carrying Blood to your Heart! Commonly Called Spider Veins – What are They?

      Spider veins can occur on any area of the body, but are most common on the legs and face. While spider veins can occur in both men and women, they are more prevalent in females and it seems that the hormones estrogen and progesterone play a role in their development.

      Changes in body chemistry due to puberty, birth control pills, menopause, and hormone therapy can bring them on. Constrictive clothing, such as tight hosiery and girdles can also cause spider vein development. Spider veins on the face can result from too much sun exposure.

      What Is Laser Vein Treatment? Laser therapy can be very effective in treating unsightly broken and dilated vessels as well as other unwanted vascular lesions, such as spider veins, rosacea. In fact, the latest advances in laser technology have made it safer, faster and more effective than any previous treatment for these conditions.

      What’s Nd Yag? ND Yag is used to remove capillaries and veins on the legs and face. The laser is attracted to the blood flow in the vessel, collapsing the unnecessary vessels.

      The Nd Yag long pulse laser can be used safely on all skin types. Fast repetition rates and large coverage areas allow large areas of the body to be treated quickly.

      Skin Rejuvenation

      Through the use of Cutera’s Laser Genesis system we gently treat scars, pigmentation variations and wrinkles to rejuvenate your facial appearance.

      The Laser Genesis system is a comfortable, non-ablative, non-invasive form of skin therapy that produces results without the unwanted side effects of bruising or excessive skin irritation.

      The procedures are comfortable and work to remodel the collagen around the scar(s).

      The light generated from the lasers targets the cells in the scar tissue. When the cell absorbs energy, it is stimulated to become active and productive. What happens is these fibroblast cells absorb the light energy and repair defects in the skin by producing collagen and remodeling to fit the body where the scar was formed. Within about a week the scar tissue will start having a improvement with final results taking place within 2 to 3 months. A series of 6 treatments is recommended for best results.

      Neuromodulars (Botox & Dysport)

      Discover the Dysport Difference

      Frown lines – a matter of expression

      Glabellar lines, or “frown lines,” are vertical wrinkles on the forehead that appear between the eyebrows. This is not totally related to the aging process. Because frown lines are created by facial expressions and movement. (for example during the frowning and squinting), they can actually start to appear at a younger age. The appearance of the lines can become worse as the collagen in that area of the forehead breaks down.

      There are several factors, in addition to facial expression, that can cause or worsen the appearance of frown lines including:

      Sun Exposure – UV light in the sun can damage collagen
      Aging – can create a loosening of collagen fibers and increased skin elasticity
      Smoking – can reduce the amount of new collagen produced
      Effective treatments for this area can help by reducing the muscle activity in the forehead, which will helps smooth the wrinkles and create a younger appearance.

      What is Dysport?

      Dysport is an injection used to temporarily improve the look of your moderate to severe frownlines without changing the look of your whole face. The untreated facial muscles still work normally, allowing you to freely show natural facial expressions, such as smiling, in untreated areas.

      How does Dysport work?

      Dysport blocks the signal from the nerve to the treated muscle, which temporarily reduces movement of certain upper facial muscles that cause wrinkles. You should not be treated with Dysport more frequently than every 90 days.

      Treatment with Dysport generally takes just 10 to 20 minutes.

      How can Dysport help?

      With just 1 treatment, Dysport will temporarily erase your frown lines by blocking the signal from the nerve to the muscles. By doing this, Dysport will relax the muscles that cause the deep lines and wrinkles on the forehead.

      How soon will I see results?

      Some patients see results as soon as 24 hours with the average time for full results being 3 days.

      How can I maintain my results?

      The improvement seen with Dysport are only temporary, You may want to book your next appointment about 12 weeks after your treatment if needed. Your doctor will be able to tell you how often you can get injections of Dysport.

      Botox Cosmetic Work

      How does BOTOX Cosmetic® work?

      BOTOX Cosmetic® is the only product of its kind that is directed at the facial muscles that cause lines and wrinkles. It targets what are known as dynamic wrinkles, which are caused by repeated muscular contractions, such as frowning and squinting. BOTOX Cosmetic®, an injectable treatment derived from a purified protein, works by relaxing the muscles that cause these dynamic wrinkles, giving your face a more relaxed and refreshed appearance. Best of all, regular use of this simple treatment will soften expression lines and help to “stop the clock” on the development or further deepening of lines. In addition, treatment is so quick and easy that you can often have it done over lunch.

      The BOTOX Cosmetic® Procedure BOTOX Cosmetic® injections are performed without anesthesia because they are virtually painless. Only a very small sting is felt when the injections are made. The effects are not permanent and may need to be repeated two to three times per year to retain the effects. Research has suggested, however, that long-term use of the injections leads to a longer duration of each treatment’s effect. Patients over the age of 65 may not experience such dramatic results. BOTOX Cosmetic® is only useful in treating expression lines and cannot be used to repair sagging skin caused by aging.

      A History of Success

      While you may only know BOTOX Cosmetic® as a wrinkle treatment, it has actually been in use for over 18 years for the effective treatment of a range of medical conditions. In fact, it’s been approved for medical use in Canada and in more than 75 countries for 20 different applications. Today, BOTOX Cosmetic® has become the most popular doctor-administered cosmetic treatment in North America with an estimated three million treatments performed annually.

      Interestingly enough, the highest user of BOTOX® in British Columbia is BC’s Children’s Hospital in Vancouver, utilizing the treatment for a variety of medical conditions in children.

      Where can BOTOX Cosmetic® be used?

      The most common treatment areas include the frown lines, between the eyebrows, the horizontal lines that run across the forehead, and the crow’s feet around the outer eyes.
