LASER TREATMENTS
FAQ
IPL PHOTO FACIAL
These treatments improve photo-aged skin appearance and may reduce fine lines, wrinkles, and pore size. IPL treatments gently deliver non-ablative laser-like light to restore the skin’s youthful appearance. The most common areas treated are the face, neck, chest, and hands.
We recommend a series of 3-5 treatments for optimal results.

LASER HAIR REMOVAL
If you’re tired of fighting a losing battle against unwanted face and body hair, it’s time to consider laser hair removal.
At HALINA, our highly-trained and experienced medical staff has performed thousands of procedures designed to help patients look and feel their best. We understand that concern over excessive, dark, thick, or unwanted body hair is more than merely an inconvenience — it’s something that can cause feelings of self-consciousness in social situations. Our goal is to provide a practical and affordable alternative designed to reduce unwanted hair’s prominence in the long term.
Sessions are staggered over several months, ensuring the eventual destruction of all follicles, and giving you painless, effortless results you will be proud to show off to the world. Expertly trained medical professionals always perform our procedures.
Highly controlled laser light flashes are selectively absorbed by the hair shaft extending into the hair follicles below the skin’s surface. The absorbed light heats the hair shaft, damaging and destroying the follicle’s regrowth potential without damaging surrounding tissue. Since the follicle must be in an active growth phase to be affected by the laser, several treatments spread over multiple months are required to ensure the hair follicles’ destruction. Clients must be clean-shaven before treatment to ensure the effects of the laser treatment reach the hair follicle. Starting at $100
FAQ’S
✤ Can all hairs be treated?
Our lasers offer you customized treatments according to your hair color, texture, and body location. The lasers effectively treat varying degrees of black or brown pigmented hair. The lasers are unable to treat blonde, white, silver, or red hair.
✤ Is laser hair removal safe?
We use the most advanced laser systems that are FDA-approved for permanent hair reduction in all skin types.
✤ Are there any possible side effects?
Side effects are rare. Some patients may experience slight reddening or localized swelling at the treatment site, similar to a sunburn, but this typically subsides within a few hours. Limiting sun exposure before and after treatments will minimize the risk of complications. Darker skin tones are subject to darkening with some laser treatments; therefore, spot tests in an inconspicuous place are highly encouraged before treatment.
✤ What kind of results should I expect?
Our lasers are FDA-approved for permanent hair reduction. The number of treatments required depends on several factors related to your specific kind of hair and skin tone. Usually, six or more treatments spread out eight weeks apart are necessary to achieve satisfactory results. Following each treatment, you can generally return to work and resume all regular activities.
✤ Will I need future treatments to maintain my results?
Changes in hormones often affect hair growth patterns. Some clients may need touch-up treatments to address any hair growth that hormonal changes may have influenced.
