Am I a good candidate for laser skin treatments?
If you are dealing with unwelcome sun damage, wrinkles, scars, stretch marks, body hair, and prominent veins, you may be a candidate for laser skin resurfacing. If your skin is prone to scarring easily, or if you currently have acne, laser skin treatment may not be a good option for you.
Pregnant women should not undergo laser skin treatment. People with darker skin tones might also want to consider a different solution to these challenges, as the laser treatment can trigger changes in skin pigmentation. You can schedule an in-person consultation and evaluation before undergoing laser skin care to make sure it’s the right treatment option for you.
-
Is laser treatment safe for my skin tone?
Laser treatments are safe for many skin types and colors, but some patients with darker skin tones or heavily tanned skin may not be good candidates. During your consultation, we’ll help you choose an effective treatment. If laser isn’t your best option, we have many other options available.
-
How many laser hair removal treatments will I need?
Laser hair removal can only target hair in the active growing phase. Since hair cycles through growth and dormancy phases at different rates, you’ll have hair in every cycle of growth on your body at the same time. We perform multiple laser hair removal treatments to target each hair at the correct time. The total number of treatments needed will depend on several factors, but most patients will require three to seven treatments.
-
Is laser treatment painful?
Depending on the laser treatment selected, you may feel sensations during treatment that include tingling, snapping or heat. We use topical anesthetics during some laser treatments to numb the skin and make you as comfortable as possible during your procedure. If discomfort is a possible side effect of your treatment, ask us about options to minimize any pain you might feel without detracting from your results.

At Ascension Saint Agnes Plastic Surgery, we use cosmetic lasers to treat a wide range of skin concerns, including sun damage, wrinkles, unwanted hair, vascular conditions, spider veins, stretch marks, and uneven skin tone. Please schedule an appointment at one of our two offices to learn more about the treatments available.
