Do you have a laser for Tattoo Removal?
YES!
Meet the Alma Harmony Pro®
We are one of the very few offices that provide this service in our area. Our laser offers a safe and effective way to remove tattoos, leaving natural-looking skin. The number of treatments varies depending on the size, color, and location of the tattoo. It is important to understand that complete removal may not always be achieved, as this is dependent on how long the tattoo has been there and also what color and type of ink was used. Pain tolerance varies from person to person. Many describe the treatment as a rubber band snap to the skin. A topical anesthetic can sometimes help reduce the intensity of the procedure. There is typically no downtime, other than avoiding the sun to the treatment area and keeping it dry for several days after treatment. It is recommended to do treatments every 4-6 weeks.

I am looking for the fountain of youth!
While we do not have the fountain of youth, we do offer the Alma Harmony Pro® Clear Lift!
ClearLift is a facial treatment that erases the signs of aging and sun damage in the decollete, neck, and face. It can be safely used to rejuvenate all skin types.
This treatment bypasses the skin’s outermost layer to create microscopic holes in underlying tissues using short bursts of light. The body recognizes these “injuries” and goes into healing mode- that involves the amplified production of collagen to give skin a more youthful appearance. Meanwhile, the surface of your skin remains damage-free to minimize downtime and promote faster recovery.
We LOVE this treatment because it offers virtually NO DOWNTIME, does not require any numbing agent, and can be done in under 30 minutes. So it is perfect to do on your lunch hour or at the end of your day.
