Testimonials

Here at Cosmetic Laser Studio, we aim to please. Check out a testimonial from a client of ours in Columbia!

Procedures: Laser Hair Removal and Laser Tattoo Removal


The staff is friendly and easy to get along with. The procedures went much faster than I thought and I noticed the difference after the first treatments. I have complete confidence in Dr. Carter's team and she is extremely easy to talk to.

Laser Spider Vein Treatments

Around our office, we try to pick up on common questions that most patients when it comes to different procedures. Listed below are a few on Laser Spider Vein Treatments.

Are the treatments as painful as sclerotherapy (injecting the veins)?

The treatment feels like a rubber band popping the skin. We use a cooling gel and simultaneously blow cool air on the skin surface to minimize any discomfort.

Should I shave before my treatment?
Yes, either the night before or the morning of your procedure. We also ask that you do not apply lotion in the areas being treated.

Does the spider vein go away immediately?
Generally not. The laser heats up the blood in the vein causing it to collapse. Your body's immune system takes over from there to gradually clear away the dead debris left behind. This process generally takes about 6 weeks.

Tummy by Thermage





To understand how Thermage works, it helps to know a little about how your skin works.

The facial skin is made up of three distinct layers: a visible outer layer on the surface called the epidermis, a collagen-rich underlayer beneath the surface called the dermis, and an inner layer beneath the dermis called the subcutaneous layer, also known as the fat layer that has a web of collagen fibers running through it.

When the collagen in these three layers break down due to sun exposure, family heredity, or the normal aging process, your face begins to sag and wrinkle. Naturally, treatments that work on just the surface can't do anything to restore the collagen in the underlayer or the innerlayer of your skin.

Thermage is the only non-invasive procedure available that tightens and renews your skin's collagen in all three layers. How? Thermage's unique Capacitive Radiofrequency (CRF) technology safely heats your skin's underlayer and the web of collagen in the inner layer, causing an immediate tightening as well as improved tone and texture. And the improvements will continue and become even more noticeable for four to six months following treatment due to new collagen growth.

Thermage is safer than invasive cosmetic procedures. And unlike lasers, Thermage works on all skin types and colors. Best of all, you only need one Thermage treatment to obtain the full benefits - not three to five as you would with some laser or intense pulsed light therapies. And there is no downtime, so you can quickly resume your daily routine.

Thermage treatments are only performed in a doctor's office by Thermage-certified personnel. Women 35-60 normally have the best and most predictable results. If your skin is too lax, the results will not be as dramatic.

Normally, the complete procedure can be performed in just one session lasting from 20 minutes to two hours, depending on the treatment area. General anesthesia is not required, but to make sure you are comfortable Dr. Carter may offer light pain medications prior to treatment.

During the treatment, you'll feel a brief, heat sensation each time Thermage delivers radiofrequency energy to the underlayer of your skin. This indicates that your collagen is being stimulated and tightened.

After treatment, your skin may be slightly red for a day or two. Most people resume regular activities immediately after treatment, with no downtime or special follow-up care.

Immediate Results: You should feel and see your skin being smoother, firmer, and tighter immediately after your Thermage treatment. You may also notice some contouring effects which will begin enhancing the shape of your face.

Continued improvement over time: After the procedure, you should continue to see improvements to your skin as a result of the production of new and increased collagen, as well as some additional contouring effects due to continued tightening over time. These effects will continue for up to six months. You should see lasting results.
