Frequently Asked Questions

We use Candela Gentle Max Pro – it’s two lasers in one: Candela’s GentleYag for dark skin combined with their GentleLase, an Alexandrite laser, for light skin. Also, it has a unique patented cooling system, which provides comfort as well as efficacy for all skin types.

As hair follicles develop in stages, 6-8 sessions are often required to effectively destroy all hair follicles.

These unfortunate conditions usually result from laser settings that are not effectively matched to the client’s skin and hair type or safety guidelines that are not complied with following a laser treatment. At LA Beauty Skin Center, we have the knowledge, expertise, and technology to ensure that we can provide you with personalized treatments that account for your individual needs to avoid these unfortunate outcomes.

In addition to chemical peels, microneedling and dermarollers, we also offer a variety of advanced facials that are tailored to your specific skin type. Some options include enzyme facials that gently exfoliate dry skin, extractions, and exfoliants from salicylic or glycolic acid for oily skin, and microdermabrasion for combination skin. When you arrive for your appointment, our master aesthetician will assess your skin type and customize your facial to meet your complexion needs.

A chemical peel is a facial treatment that combines skin care elements and naturally occurring acids such as alpha hydroxy acid (AHA), beta hydroxy acid (BHA), or salicylic acid to remove the top layer of your skin and restore a radiant and smooth appearance to your complexion.

A dermaroller is a small tool with hundreds of microneedles that are rolled over your skin to fade stretch marks, acne scars, wrinkles, and sun damage. As the needles penetrate your skin, the trigger the cells to “fill” any holes or damaged skin with new collagen and elastin.

While the peel removes the top layer of skin to trigger a radiance boost, the dermaroller renews the skin cells, making your skin stronger and healthier where peels may cause fragility and weakness.

CoolSculpting is very safe. The fat cells that are targeted with the cold temperature freeze sooner than surrounding tissues, so the cold will not affect any other cells in your body.

The required sessions varies for each client, but typically it will require 1-3 treatments to fully remove your desired fat.

Sessions typically take about an hour.

CoolSculpting dissolves your unwanted fat internally with no surgical incision required, resulting in zero required recovery time, as well as no pain and no serious side effects.

CoolSculpting freezes the fat cells immediately, but since the procedure occurs entirely internally, it may take a few weeks for your body to fully cleanse the treated area. Therefore, it is more likely that you will see gradual progress in your fat reduction over time, rather than immediate results.
