Treatments
Broadband Light (BBL) Skin Rejuvenation
BBL® (broad band light), made by Sciton, is the world’s most powerful IPL (intense pulsed light) device, offering precise targeting, greater efficacy, and potentially fewer treatments than traditional IPL systems. BBL treatments target pigmentation, redness, and small vessels while stimulating new collagen growth, leaving the skin smoother, clearer, and more evenly toned. This non-invasive procedure is ideal for treating age spots, sun damage, rosacea, and general dullness. With little to no downtime, mild redness or warmth may occur temporarily, while brown spots often darken slightly before flaking away over several days. Regular treatments help maintain youthful, glowing skin with lasting improvement in tone and texture.
BBL Clear Skin (Acne Light Therapy)
This light therapy is designed specifically to reduce acne and inflammation. It uses varying wavelengths of light, blue to destroy acne-causing bacteria, yellow to calm inflammation, and infrared to encourage healing and regeneration.
Each session lasts about 15 minutes and is well tolerated with minimal redness or sensitivity. This is a potent remedy for people who struggle with breakouts or post-acne redness because it clears, soothes, and improves the skin over a course of treatments.
ProFractional Laser Resurfacing
ProFractional laser, by Sciton, is the industry leader in safe eradication of wrinkles, fine lines, and scars. This fractionated ablative treatment works by affecting only a portion of the skin, removing tiny columns of skin while leaving the surrounding tissue intact. This allows for faster healing and provides a more noticeable result than non-ablative lasers, which act only below the skin surface, thereby requiring several treatments to achieve similar results. As this is an Erbium laser, it involves much less heat and thermal damage than CO2 lasers, making it safer while providing a dramatic reduction in fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, texture irregularities, and sun damage. Depending on treatment depth, recovery can range from 1–7 days, with visible improvements in skin tone, smoothness, and firmness. It’s an excellent choice for those seeking a more dramatic rejuvenation without the risks or downtime of fully ablative lasers.
Vascular Reduction Laser
Vascular laser treatments target unwanted redness and visible veins to restore a clearer, more even complexion. Using the 1064nm Nd: YAG wavelength, this precise laser energy collapses small blood vessels without damaging surrounding skin.
Commonly treated concerns include cherry angiomas, spider veins, and facial redness. For anyone who is disturbed by chronic redness or visible capillaries, the procedure is a perfect solution because it is quick, pleasant, and requires little to no recovery time.
Laser Hair Removal
The Candela GentleMax Pro is a trusted, gold-standard laser hair removal system known for its reliability, safety, and effectiveness on a wide range of skin types. Using both Alexandrite and Nd: YAG wavelengths, it precisely targets hair follicles while protecting the surrounding skin. Its advanced technology delivers consistent performance, making it a top choice for patients seeking safe and effective long-term hair reduction.
With its built-in Dynamic Cooling Device (DCD), the GentleMax Pro provides a burst of cooling cryogen before each pulse to enhance comfort throughout the treatment. Sessions are fast and efficient, even on larger areas such as the legs or back, and over time, hair regrowth becomes finer and lighter, resulting in smooth, long-lasting results.
Micro Laser Peel
The Micro Laser Peel is a laser treatment from Sciton, offering exceptional precision and results in skin renewal. This light resurfacing treatment gently removes a very thin layer of damaged skin to reveal a smoother, brighter, and more youthful complexion. By targeting fine lines, wrinkles, sun damage, and uneven texture, it restores vitality and radiance to tired or aged skin. Known as the “weekend peel,” recovery typically takes just three to four days, making it ideal for those seeking visible rejuvenation with minimal downtime. As the skin heals, new cells form, leaving it noticeably softer, clearer, and more evenly toned.
Frequently Asked Questions
Who is a good candidate for laser and light treatments?
For people who want to address issues like sun damage, pigmentation, acne, redness, fine lines, or unwanted hair, laser and light treatments are perfect. The majority of skin types can benefit from them, and treatments can be tailored to your objectives, tone, and texture. Our professionals will examine your skin during your appointment and suggest the safest course of action to get the results you want.
Can laser and light treatments prevent signs of aging?
In addition to correcting visible skin issues, laser and light procedures help stimulate collagen and elastin production, two key proteins responsible for youthful, firm skin. Regular maintenance sessions can help slow the appearance of aging by keeping the skin smoother, tighter, and more radiant over time.
What should I do before my laser or light appointment?
Before your treatment, it’s best to avoid sun exposure, tanning beds, and self-tanning products for at least one week. Discontinue the use of retinoids, exfoliants, or harsh skincare for several days before your appointment. Arrive with clean skin, free from makeup or lotions, so that the laser energy can penetrate evenly and effectively.
Can I wear makeup after a laser or light session?
For most light-based treatments, you can apply mineral makeup within 24 hours, once any mild redness subsides. After deeper resurfacing procedures, makeup should be avoided until the skin has fully healed, typically three to five days. Always follow your provider’s aftercare instructions to avoid irritation and ensure proper recovery.
How long do results from laser and light treatments last?
Results vary by treatment and skin condition, but most patients enjoy visible improvements for several months to a year. Because collagen continues to rebuild after each session, results often improve over time. Routine maintenance sessions and consistent sun protection help extend the longevity of your outcome.
Are there any side effects from laser and light procedures?
Temporary redness, mild swelling, or sensitivity may occur after treatment but typically resolve within a few hours to a few days. These are normal signs that your skin is healing and regenerating. When done by trained specialists in the right safety settings, as at Nuvo Aesthetics Clinic, serious adverse effects are uncommon.
