Often used in combination with other skin tightening procedures, Cosmetic Skin & Laser Center now has multiple ways to restore a youthful facial shape and target any area of aging. During the 45-minute office procedure, we use specially designed sutures with bidirectional cones to reposition and elevate the skin on your face for a more youthful and contoured appearance. Results are visible IMMEDIATELY, with continued improvement over time. The sutures are slowly absorbed by your body, leaving long-lasting collagen bands in their place.

Hair today, GONE TOMORROW Hair – it’s honestly just not coming back in style… anywhere! We’re hard-pressed to find anyone of any age with more than a landing strip. Shaving, waxing and tweezing are all options, but temporary hair removal solutions are time-consuming, painful, or even worse – embarassing like the five o’clock shadow on your lip or chin. At Cosmetic Skin & Laser Center, our advanced Lumenis Light Sheer Duet laser combines state-of- the-art diode lasers with vacuum-assist technology. Does that matter? Oh yes it does! You get what you pay for – believe us. During treatment, the laser is attracted to the pigment in the hair (sorry, no lasers work on white, gray, or red hair) to destroy the follicles of any hair in the growth phase, permanently destroying them. There’s no downtime after laser hair removal, and any slight redness can be covered with makeup. FAST TREATMENTS: We can treat your full legs or back in about a half hour. MINIMAL DISCOMFORT: This laser is about 75% less “painful” than older lasers. SUPERIOR RESULTS: On average, patients see 75% hair reduction in five treatments. TRAVERSESKIN.COM
