UMG Plastic Surgery & Aesthetics uses SCITON® lasers for laser skin resurfacing and laser hair removal procedures at our Greenville, SC practice. SCITON® lasers are recognized as the gold-standard technology for providing effective and safe laser skin treatments.

Laser Hair Removal

Laser hair removal is an ideal treatment option for patients who wish to permanently reduce unwanted hair. Laser hair removal can be performed on virtually any area of the body. Some of the most popular treatment areas include the legs, arms, underarms, bikini line, back, chin, and upper lip.

Laser hair removal is performed in our Greenville, SC office. The length of the procedure will depend on the size of the area being treated. Smaller areas such as the upper lip can typically be treated in just a few minutes, while larger areas like the back may require several hours to treat. For the best hair reduction results, most people will need four to six laser hair removal treatments spaced several months apart.

Patients may experience mild discomfort during the laser hair removal procedure. After the procedure, swelling and redness are possible, but most people are able to return to routine activities immediately after treatment.

Laser Skin Resurfacing

Laser skin resurfacing is a popular and effective treatment for addressing wrinkles, sun damage, acne scars, discoloration, and other skin imperfections. At our Greenville, SC practice, the laser skin resurfacing treatment plan is customized to your individual needs and skin type for maximum skin rejuvenation results.

During the laser skin resurfacing procedure, a laser is passed over the treatment area. The laser removes the old, damaged upper layer of skin cells. During the healing process, the body replaces this layer with fresh, healthy skin cells, resulting in a smoother skin texture, more even skin tone, and more youthful appearance overall.

Laser skin resurfacing is typically performed under local anesthesia. The treatment area may take one to two weeks to heal. Most patients are able to return to work and other daily activities about one week after the laser skin resurfacing procedure.
