In comparison to traditional hair removal techniques such as plucking, shaving, and waxing, laser hair removal is a proven method for the permanent elimination of hair on all types of skin.

The demand for laser hair removal procedures has grown over the years as women, as well as men, seek smoother skin and a well-groomed physical appearance.

Dr. Bryson Richards is a board certified plastic surgeon offering the advanced Cutera Xeo laser technology as a cutting-edge solution for permanent hair removal. The procedure is very safe and effective. It presently ranks among the most popular procedures in the US.

Cutera was the pioneer in the development of a high-powered Nd:YAG laser for hair removal that offered patients a safe and successful hair removal alternative, even for people with darker complexions.

The kind Dr. Richards provides Cutera Xeo laser hair removal to patients in Las Vegas, NV and other towns and cities in this area of the country.

Cutera Xeo Laser System

With the advanced Cutera Xeo laser system, painful razor bumps, waxing, and time-intensive shaving have become a thing of the past for many people. It can offer the patient sustainable and superior outcomes with a safe, in-office procedure. This innovative laser procedure allows both women and men to experience hairless skin for an extended period.

Cutera Xeo system can remove hair in virtually any region of the body with the exception of the eyelids. This laser allows the provider to target unwanted hairs in a precise way with minimal downtime and discomfort.

Ideal Candidates

An ideal candidate for Cutera Xeo laser hair removal system is almost any healthy individual who is unhappy with the presence of body hair in any area of their body. But people who are on antibiotics or specific medications will need to discontinue the drugs for a specific duration before and after the laser procedure.

This procedure may not be appropriate for women who are pregnant or nursing, people who cannot avoid exposure to the sun for some time, and individuals with red, blond, or light colored hair.

How does it Work?

The treatment provider will direct the Cutera Xeo laser unit over the treatment area. The laser will deliver precise laser beams of light pulses to the follicle of the undesirable hair. The pigment in the hair follicle will absorb the light energy as the laser goes through the skin.

This energy burst will destruct the carbon in the hair follicle in a painless manner. This destroys the hair entirely and prevents it from re-growing in that follicle enabling the outcomes with Cutera Xeo laser hair removal system to sustain for an extended period.

Procedure

This procedure can be completed in an office setting, and it may only take a single treatment session. The time taken to complete the procedure can range from a few minutes to a few hours depending on the extent of hair removal.

The small hand-held laser device directs the light energy precisely into the hair follicles while the superficial skin layer is cooled simultaneously to prevent damage to the surrounding normal tissue.

VelaShape II is a pioneering technology to enhance body contours, decrease the appearance of cellulite, and improve skin tone and texture.

This treatment is entirely nonsurgical and more cost-effective compared to many other invasive and noninvasive medical spa treatments for body contouring.

The treatment provider will inform the patient on various facets of the VelaShape II procedure during pre-treatment consultation, including its approximate costs. Dependable board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Bryson Richards provides VelaShape II body contouring treatments to patients in Las Vegas, NV and surrounding locations in this region of The Sagebrush State.

Price Tag Comparison with Surgery

While body lift plastic surgery is a sought-after procedure for skin tightening and body contouring, its costs may be unaffordable to some patients. Since this surgical procedure is elective, the patient will not receive insurance coverage to fund the surgery.

This makes it vital for the patient to evaluate the cost differential and cost-effectiveness associated with a body contouring surgery and a medical spa alternative such as VelaShape II.  

Surgery will involve expenses related to anesthesia, the surgical facility, and surgeon’s charges as well as post-op expenses such as medical exams, prescription meds, compression garments, and follow-up visits to the surgeon’s office.

VelaShape II does not involve such ancillary financial responsilbities. The patient can receive the treatment in-office without any requirement for anesthesia. Furthermore, VelaShape II does not involve any significant downtime or recovery related expenses.

Cost Factors

VelaShape II price tag differs among patients as well as between practices. The average costs of living vary between locations which impacts the costs of various products and services, including cosmetic procedures such as VelaShape II. Therefore, the location of the practice is an essential factor impacting the treatment costs.

The overall monetary amount of a procedure such as VelaShape II also depends on the equipment, quality standards, and qualifications of the staff at a particular practice. It is essential to identify a reliable and reputable practice (preferably led by a board certified plastic surgeon) to receive this procedure.

The financial considerations should be a secondary concern in this decision. Individualized care and attention is crucial to accomplishing safe and desirable results with an advanced procedure such as VelaShape II.

Certain patients may need treatment only in a particular area of the body such as the thighs, buttocks, abdomen, or upper torso. Others may have multiple treatment areas.

More substantial areas such as the butt and thighs take more time to treat. These are considered as two distinct areas, and this could increase the monetary amount of the VelaShape II treatment.

The treatments may be between one to three sessions depending on the extent of correction that a patient requires. Therefore, the total costs of this treatment can vary between two patients at the same med spa.                                                                        

Number of Treatments

Treatment providers usually recommend that the patient should receive a minimum of four to six weekly treatments initially with subsequent maintenance treatments.

Some patients may need fewer or more treatments to attain desirable outcomes. Focused cosmetic surgeon Dr. Bryson Richards receives patients from Las Vegas, NV and other towns and neighborhoods in this part of the nation for VelaShape II body contouring.

How does it Work?

VelaShape II enhances the body shape while addressing sagging skin, unappealing bulges, and cellulite that have been unresponsive to diet and exercise.  This procedure is entirely nonsurgical and noninvasive. It creates appealing body shaping outcomes through the use of the power of four distinct modalities simultaneously.

Bi-polar radiofrequency (RF) and infrared (IR) technology technologies combine to delicately heat fatty deposits at the optimal treatments depths (up to 3mm and 15mm respectively).

After that, vacuum and mechanical tissue manipulation promote fibroblast activity and targeted energy delivery. These cutting-edge technologies improve circulation, collagen generation, lymphatic drainage, and cellular metabolism.

Cosmetic Benefits

• Decrease of skin laxity, looseness, and sagginess
• Reduced volume and circumference of excess fatty tissue in the treatment areas
• Visible reduction in the appearance of cellulite
• Taut, smooth skin texture

Proven Technology

VelaShape is the sole system that combines four different technologies to create a synergistic impact to provide enhanced skin appearance. Its unique action mechanism allows for comfortable and efficient results. Many clinical trials and over 3.5 million independent treatments attest to the effectiveness of this technology.  

Elimination of Cellulite

VelaShape II is a combination of four different technologies including bi-polar, RF, infrared, and mechanical tissue manipulation through pulse vacuum and massage rollers. The RF and IR technologies produce deep heat in the targeted connective tissue including the fibrous septae.

This promotes the production of new collagen and enhances localized cellular metabolism offering the patient dramatic improvements in skin volume and elasticity. Experienced cosmetic surgeon Dr. Bryson Richards receives patients from Las Vegas, NV and nearby areas for VelaShape II body contouring.
