For many people, body hair is far more than just a cosmetic problem. In many cases, unwanted facial hair or a hairy back is a source of embarrassment. Traditional hair reduction methods -- shaving, waxing, tweezing and creams -- are all time consuming and short lasting. Until recently, the only effective method for hair reduction was electrolysis, a slow and painful process in which follicles are individually destroyed by electrical current.

Recent advances in laser hair removal technology now make it possible to permanently reduce unwanted body hair, quickly and easily, with proven long-term results. Imagine...it is now possible to conveniently obtain the ease, beauty and confidence of smooth, hair free skin through Apple City's customized treatment program.So far Laser surgery had been the best solution for ingrown hairs.

Vein disorders are a serious reality for many people. Everyone wants to look and feel their best, but vein disorders cause a lot of unnecessary aggravation and embarrassment. Laser-IPL vein removal is an easy solution to an ever-growing problem.

If you suffer from a vein disorder, but are hesitant about long, painful procedures, laser vein removal may be just what you're looking for. The origins of some vein disorders are still unknown, but it is thought that many are caused by heredity, excessive standing, weight gain, hormonal changes and even pregnancy.

Laser and Intense Pulsed Light technology has become an important factor in the treatment of vascular deformities we combine both. Laser-IPL vein removal allows for the treatment of vein disorders using non-invasive, non-surgical technology. The most common vein disorders today are spider veins and varicose veins. These and other disorders, depending on severity, have been successfully treated using this laser and IPL treatment.

Lasers have been used to reduce facial wrinkles for some time. However, the incidence of side effects (prolonged wound healing and post-treatment redness and hypo-pigmentation of the skin) has not been satisfactory nor has the period of "downtime" necessary to recover and see the final result. As a result, there has been growing interest to find a non-ablative (non-wound producing) method of skin rejuvenation that achieves a similar-type result without the undesirable side effects and downtime necessary for healing. "PhotoLite" facial rejuvenation treatments use intense-pulsed light (IPL) laser-like technology to achieve improvement of skin texture, sun damage, irregular pigment, telangiectasias (blood vessels), rosacea and also improve large pores, fine lines and superficial acne scarring. These PhotoLite Rejuvenation treatments are recommended in a series of 5, each 2-3 weeks apart, giving progressive improvement.

Photo rejuvenation (photofacial or fotofacial) is a non-invasive skin health and restoration treatment that erases the damage inflicted on your skin from sun, aging and biological factors as well as Rosacea. The technology supplies a broad spectrum of light which reaches deep down within the skin, targeting pigment and vascular imperfections. The goals of therapy are a more even skin color and texture.

The IPL corrects a variety of skin conditions such as brown spots and redness of the face, while offering a safe, non-invasive solution that can be tailored to your individual condition and skin type. The IPL can treat the imperfections on the face as well as the neck, chest and hands.

The IPL is one of the most common technologies used to treat Rosacea. After a series of treatments this technology can significantly reduce the redness and visible blood vessels on the face. Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) treatments are comfortable and performed without downtime.

After a series of IPL treatments, patients also report improvement in the texture of their skin and reduced pore size. With a series of treatments, IPL Photo rejuvenation can help restore your skin to a more youthful appearance without the prolonged recovery.
