Unwanted body hair doesn’t stand a chance with the experts at Clarkston Laser Center, 5825 South Main Street, Suite 203,.
‘Our goal is to offer simple, safe, affordable procedures in an office with a doctor on site who meets with each patient to ensure safety and quality,? said Dr. Lee Baylis. ‘With price matching, you are guaranteed to get a good deal.?
Clarkston Laser Center specializes in hair removal on any part of the body and skin rejuvenation including: sun damage, freckling and irregular pigmentation, rosacea, broken capillaries, age spots-fine wrinkles, reduce redness and flushing, smooth skin and reduce pores. They also do Botox.
For hair removal, time may vary depending on how much hair is being removed. For most people, treatments take less than an hour. During treatment, patient and care provider wear special glasses to ensure safety of the eyes from the laser.
‘We do a test spot on the skin first to make sure that the laser is on an appropriate setting,? said Mary Hudak-Baylis, marketing director and office manager.
The laser is unable to treat white or gray hair. It can do reds and some blondes, but the darker the hair, the better.
‘There has to be color to the hair, which is why we have to evaluate the hair first on each person that comes in.? said Hudak-Baylis.
Skin tone also plays a factor in hair removal and that, too, must be evaluated.
‘It (the laser) will pick up your skin pigment instead of your hair and it’s going to burn your skin,? said Esthetician Bailey Maier.
To ensure all hair is removed, they recommend each patient receive a series of 4-6 treatments, scheduled at 6-16 week intervals.
Maier said she loves her job because she enjoys making people look and feel better.
‘I went to school for this because I love beauty. I love being on top of all procedures and products,? said Maier. ‘And I love helping customers feel good about themselves and more confident.?
Hudak-Baylis said they are on the cutting edge.
‘There are other businesses out there that do a similar thing so I feel like we’re on the cutting edge of what people out there want,? she said. ‘People want to look younger. They want to look younger, longer, and have their skin looking nice to increase or keep their self confidence going and I think we can provide that, if it’s on the hair removal end of it, the skin rejuvenation or even on the botox.?
Clarkston Laser Center treats mostly women, but 25 percent of their customers are men.
‘We want to make it easy and convenient for people to get these procedures done right in Clarkston,? said Baylis. ‘We’re small town Clarkston, we’re right in your backyard.?
