Pretty Skin Again: Laser Hair Removal Treatment, Laser Rejuvenation and more.

Laser Services at Pretty Skin Again are an integrated system of seven lasers that perform optimally for many different skin problems. With our latest laser technologies,  including theGentleMax which has an two world class lasers in one, the YAG and the Alexandrite Laser by Candela, wrinkling, vascular lesions and some skin lesions that were previously very difficult conditions to address are now treatable.

With laser rejuvenation, a laser is used to remove areas of damaged or wrinkled skin, layer by layer. The procedure is most commonly used to minimize the appearance of fine lines, especially around the mouth and the eyes. However, it is also effective in treating facial scars or areas of uneven pigmentation. Laser rejuvenation may be performed on the whole face or in specific regions.


Candela V-beam:  This pulse dye laser addresses benign vascular lesions such as facial veins, rosacea, port wine stains, hemangiomas, scars, stretch marks and warts.

Candela GentleLASE:  This laser safely removes unwanted hair and pigmented lesions without damaging the delicate structures of the skin.  This laser may also be used for wrinkle reduction.

Candela GentleYAG:  Our most versatile laser treats unwanted hair for all skin types, leg veins (spider and varicose veins), vascular lesions & tightens loose, sagging skin (facial rejuvenation and skin tightening).

Candela Ellipse I²PL:  This is the leading intense Pulsed Light skin rejuvenation system available.

Candela SmoothBeam:  With this technology, we are able to successfully improve acne, acne scars and wrinkles.

BLU-U Blue Light:  This light technology when used in conjunction with aminolevulenic acid (ALA) & laser is very effective for treating acne, actinic keratoses, stubborn warts, and sebaceous hyperplasia.

How these treatments work:
Bacteria which cause acne are rich in a natural chemical called a “porphyrin”. Certain porphyrins will liberate molecular oxygen when exposed to a special blue light.  These blue light treatments are effective for mild and moderate acne. They are 10 – 15 minute long treatments and must be repeated twice a week for four weeks.

The treatments can be “supercharged” by adding ALA.  This painlessly applied clear liquid will increase porphyrins in the bacteria and in the sebaceous (oil) glands causing the blue light or laser to be even more effective against these causes of acne.  With the addition of ALA the patient will require as few as two or three treatments.  These treatments also literally erase some skin cancers and precancerous lesions.

Medlite C6:  A safe and effective way to remove unwanted tattoos.  This laser removes tattoo ink with the energy of light.  The tattoo ink is removed by using a specific wavelength of light which passes into the skin, but is absorbed by the tattoo ink.  The rapid absorption of light energy causes the tattoo ink to break into tiny particles which can then be removed by the body's natural filtering systems.  The Medlite laser provides maximum tattoo removal while leaving the surrounding skin unharmed.

Alexandrite Laser by Cynosure:  Special long pulse allows safe and effective treatment of benign pigmented lesions as well as hair removal for all skin types.

Laser hair removal will require multiple treatments over a 6 to 12 month period.  Throughout that period of time you may find the need to locate other quality providers for your hair removal needs.   Therefore, we have formed the Physician's Laser Network which consists of state of the art laser centers around the U.S.  Below you will find members of the Physician's Laser Network:
