What Are the Advantages of Laser Hair RemovalLasers are very precise and easily adjusted. Unlike electrolysis, lasers use a wide beam that can treat many hairs at once instead of one hair at a time. Consequently, large areas (e.G., legs, arms, backs, etc. ) Can be treated in a short amount of time, and results will last far longer than tweezing, waxing, shaving, or other temporary treatments.
How Long Will Each Treatment TakeTime for treatment depends on the areas being targeted. Facial areas (e.G., lip, chin, etc. ) Can be treated in 5-10 minutes, smaller body areas (e.G., underarms, bikini line, etc. ) Take about 15 minutes, and larger body areas (e.G., back, legs, arms, etc. ) Can take approximately 30 to 60 minutes.
Is It Safe Does It HurtLaser hair removal is very safe because the laser is turned on for only a fraction of a second, and the duration of each laser pulse is just long enough to destroy the hair follicle. A state of the art cooling device simultaneously cools the skin while the laser is in use, minimizing discomfort. Clients may feel a tingling or stinging sensation during treatment, but most people tolerate the procedure well. In addition, gianna procedures are continually adjusted, based on the individual sensitivity level of each client, during the treatments.
How Many Treatments Will I NeedBecause the laser disables hairs in their active growth cycle and because other hairs enter their growth cycles at different times, an average of five treatments are recommended to destroy all of the hair follicles in a given area. However, there are a variety of factors that can influence the total number of treatments any individual may require. To ensure maximum results, gianna skin and laser offers a free, customized, one-on-one consultation for any procedure. During that time, we review your client profile, discuss your goals, and answer any questions. We will then evaluate you, and will provide a customized plan designed to determine the best way for you to achieve your goals.

Frequently Asked Questions
What Does the Treatment InvolveDermal filler treatments use a series of small injections, on numbed skin, to restore the hyaluronic acid. The body accepts this natural substance, and slowly absorbs it without a trace in several months. Enhanced length of results is very often achieved with each successive treatment.
How Is Dermal Filling PerformedThe skin is first numbed, to minimize any discomfort, and the filler is injected just under the skin surface to plump up the wrinkle being treated. Results are instant!
Are There Side Effects to the TreatmentsSome temporary swelling and bruising can occur so it is recommended that the procedure be done at least two weeks prior to an event.
How Much Does It CostDermal fillers are dispensed and purchased by syringe. Cost depends on how many syringes of product are required to achieve desired results. It is important not to "skimp" on the amount of filler with the first use. This will ensure better long term results and will also save money in the long term.
What Is the Difference Between the Three Brands of Dermal Fillers UsedThe dermal fillers vary in cost, and in their ability to correct certain types of facial wrinkles.
How Do Dermal Fillers WorkDermal fillers are made of non-animal-based hyaluronic acid. This substance is naturally found between the cells of human tissue, making it responsible for the plump and smooth appearance of youthful skin. Through the aging process, the skin loses its natural hyaluronic acid which can result in facial wrinkles, cheek sagging, lip lines, and chin furrows.
How Will I Know How Much/What Brand of Dermal Filler I Will NeedGianna provides free, individualized, one-on-one consultations that will determine the amount and type of dermal filler needed to reach your goals.
Who Performs the TreatmentAll treatments are performed personally by dr. demario who has received post-residency training and certification in dermal filler injections.
How Can Dermal Fillers Improve My Facial AppearanceDermal fillers can add fullness to the face in such areas as the cheek bones, lips, and chin. They are an excellent way to soften lines caused by skin sagging and volume loss with age (see "conditions we treat").

Many clients, who have previously experienced other chemical peel treatments, tolerate our chemical peels very well and are able to return to their daily activities without interruption.
I Hate My Sun Damage; Will a Chemical Peel Help MeChemical peels have proven to be a safe and effective method for evening out skin tone and texture. Done in a series (groupings of six or more), these treatments have produced pleasing results and marked improvement in skin that has been damaged by the sun.
What Does a Chemical Peel TreatConditions for treatment vary with each peel (see above). Each gianna client receives a free, customized, individualized consultation for any procedure. During that time, we privately review your client profile, discuss how you would like to improve your skin, and answer any questions.

Rosacea Treatments
Rosacea, Which Usually Occurs on the Face, Is an Inflammatory Condition. It Includes Redness and Skin Sensitivity, and It Is Often Accompanied by Unsightly Acne-Type Lesions. The Redness Is Caused by Dilated Blood Vessels. This Chronic Skin Disorder Also May Include Telengiactasia Which Is the Presence of Blood Vessels or Veins in the Cheek Area, the Nose, or the Chin.
TreatmentsTo minimize redness, flushing, and veins, lasers and intense pulsed light (ipl), have been proven to be optimal choices for maintaining control of rosacea. These treatments can be done in a single session, but they are more often done in a series for optimal results. They require no downtime or lifestyle interruption. In addition, topical treatments may include prescription oral and topical antibiotics and/or pharmaceutical grade creams and cleansers. These help keep the skin eruption and inflammation under control. Anyone suffering from this condition should avoid aggravating circumstances such as severe cold, sun exposure, alcohol, heat, and wind.
Brown Spot Treatments
Brown Spots, Typically Due to Sun Damage (Lentigines, Hyperpigmentation, Freckles, or Melasma), Are Simply Pigment Changes in the Skin. The Main Cause of Aggravation Is Sun Exposure. Melasma Is Linked to the Hormones Estrogen and Progesterone Which Are Found in Oral Contraceptives. It Is Identical to Chloasma, or the "Mask of Pregnancy," and Can Be Experienced by Any Woman.
TreatmentsPigment-specific lasers, intense pulsed light, and combination treatments are very commonly used to diminish brown spots. Skin lightening agents, such as hydroquinone and kojic acid, are also used to diminish brown spots. Combination therapies can be very beneficial, and include the aforementioned treatments along with a series of microdermabrasion and chemical peels.

Frequently Asked Questions
How Does the Treatment WorkAn intense light is applied in a series of gentle pulses over the area to be treated. The light penetrates the skin and is absorbed within the problem area without additional damage to the skin. The heat of the light causes damage to the vessel or lesion, and the body reacts by beginning the natural process of healing itself; for example, freckles will darken and then flake off or be absorbed by the skin. These treatments are maximized by supporting a healthy daily skin regime.This includes photoprotection such as topical antioxodants and a broad spectrum sun screen.
What Is Treatment Like Does It HurtThe area to be treated is cleansed and a cool gel is applied. The feeling as the pulses of light are delivered is similar to the snap of a rubber band. After treatment, the gel is removed, the skin is cleansed again, and a sunscreen is applied. Although pain is minimal, topical anesthesia or a cool compress can be used for maximum comfort. Treatments will vary from 15 to 45 minutes depending on the size of the area to be treated.
How Many Treatments Will I NeedGenerally, a series of 3 to 5 treatments are recommended for best results, and follow-up treatments may be desired to maintain results. Gianna skin and laser provides a free customized consultation to all clients for any procedure. During that time, we review your client profile with you, discuss how you would like to improve the look of your skin, and answer any questions. We will then evaluate you, and will provide a customized plan designed to determine the best way for you to achieve your goals.
Are There Any Side Effects to Photo RejuvenationSide effects are not common. Immediately after treatment, the skin may appear flushed and capillaries may seem more visible; this can last from a few minutes to several hours after treatments. Brown and pigmented spots will turn slightly darker, and this temporary darkness will disappear as the spots come off. There are very rare complications that can be discussed with your physician.
How Much Improvement Can I ExpectYou can expect to see a gradual decrease in flushing, pore size, broken capillaries, and irregular pigmentation. Each treatment will cause your skin to feel smoother and appear to have a more even tone.There is usually a temporary increase in the condition as it �rises to the surface� then dissipates to an overall youthful, healthy look.
