Beyond The Razor
Everyone is used to the old methods of hair removal such as shaving, waxing and depilatory creams. All of these methods must be repeated on a regular basis. There is also electrolysis. Electrolysis is an invasive and painful process that involves inserting a needle into each hair follicle and delivering an electrical charge to destroy them one at a time. This often requires years of treatment on a regular basis.
For longer-lasting results there are several hair removal systems. Both men and women can have unwanted facial and body hair removed quite easily.
The Lyra laser hair removal system can disable hundreds of hair follicles in less than one second. The Lyra laser is noninvasive; it generates intense long-pulsed light through an actively cooled handpiece to disable unwanted hair follicles, thus impairing the growth. With the “cool top” handpiece and the Lyra process we can treat hair while maintaining a healthy appearance of the surrounding tissue. The Lyra can remove hair from all parts of the body including underarms, cheeks, legs, arms, back, chest and bikini line.
The laser is not absorbed by melanin in the skin and can be used for those tanned and dark-skinned individuals. The Lyra laser has another advantage with the change of the handpiece- it can eradicate blue and purple veins.

Laser Vein Treatment
The Neigel Center for Cosmetic and Laser Surgery also offers another laser treatment, the Versa Pulse laser, which works very well on spidery veins, brown spots and broken facial capillaries.
Are there any side effects? Short-term side effects may include slight reddening of the skin, which typically lasts less than one hour.
If you have any further questions, contact the Neigel Center for Cosmetic and Laser Surgery.
Are there any side effects? What are the treatments like?
First, we identify the veins to be treated. We then proceed to deliver pulses of light (laser) energy along the length of the vessel, larger veins first. The light energy causes the blood within the vein to coagulate, eventually destroying the vessels, which are then absorbed by your body. Most laser therapy patients report little discomfort. Some experience a mild burning sensation when we pulse the laser.

FX Laser for Skin Rejuvenation and Tightening
What is FX (Fractional Repair) laser? Fractional Repair is a semi-ablative procedure that is based upon the skin's own healing response. Microscopic laser wounds are spaced across the treated skin. The deeper layer of skin is stimulated by the laser energy to renew and repair. As the formation of new collagen continues to improve over time, most patients will see significant improvement in the appearance of sunspots, fine lines, wrinkles and acne scarring with a fresher, more youthful skin tone and texture. Fractional Repair reaches deeper into the skin to produce more effective wrinkle removal and skin rejuvenation.
This advanced laser system delivers high precision microbeams of laser energy into the skin to smooth out fine lines, wrinkles, scars, remove brown spots and other irregularities, and tighten skin.
The Benefits of Fractional Repair:
*Bettter results compared to non-ablative treatments
*Minimal downtime
*Minimal chance of pigment loss
*Safe and effective for all skin surface areas
*Promotes tissue contraction and skin tightening
*Your appearance continues to improve over a period of up to six months
*Can be performed to delay more invasive surgery such as a facelift
Am I a Candidate for Fractional Repair?
Any patient who would like to have smoother, tighter, younger-looking skin is a good candidate. For patients who are 40 to 50 years of age, this procedure can put off the need for a facelift.
