Medical Laser TreatmentsAdvanced laser technology for clearer, more even-looking skin.

Certain laser technologies can be used across a broad range of skin tones. However, not every laser or treatment protocol is suitable for every skin type. Our clinical team evaluates your skin characteristics and treatment goals before recommending an appropriate approach.

Aerolase Neo Elite uses 650-microsecond 1064 nm Nd:YAG technology for selected inflammatory, vascular, and pigmentary concerns. Candela GentleMax Pro Plus and Cynosure Elite+ offer dual-wavelength Alexandrite (755 nm) and Nd:YAG (1064 nm) technologies for applications including hair reduction and selected vascular or pigmentary treatments. The most appropriate platform depends on your skin concern and individual assessment.

Discomfort varies depending on the laser technology, treatment area, and individual sensitivity. Some treatments produce a mild warming sensation, while others may feel like brief snapping against the skin. Your provider will explain what to expect and discuss available comfort measures.

The number of sessions depends on the condition being treated, its severity, and your response to treatment. Some concerns improve after a limited number of sessions, while others require multiple appointments or ongoing maintenance. Your provider will recommend an individualized treatment schedule following your assessment.

Recovery varies by treatment. Redness and swelling may occur, and changes in pigmentation are a possible risk. Your provider will discuss expected recovery, potential complications, and aftercare for your treatment.

Laser treatment may be considered for selected patients with melasma, but it is not appropriate for everyone. Because melasma can worsen with heat, irritation, and sun exposure, treatment requires careful assessment and may be combined with topical skincare and strict photoprotection.

Certain laser treatments may be suitable for inflammatory acne or rosacea-associated redness. However, suitability depends on the severity of your condition, current medications, skin sensitivity, and treatment history. An individualized assessment is recommended before proceeding.

In some cases, different laser treatments may be incorporated into a broader treatment plan to address multiple skin concerns. The appropriate sequence and interval between treatments depend on your skin condition, laser settings, and recovery requirements.

Our medical laser treatments are offered at Parsa Wellness Clinic in North Vancouver. Availability of individual procedures may vary, so we recommend confirming your desired treatment when booking.

A consultation or pre-treatment assessment helps determine whether a medical laser treatment is appropriate for your skin concerns. Your provider will review your skin type, medical history, medications, previous treatments, and goals, and discuss benefits, risks, and alternatives.

Many medical laser treatments can be performed throughout the year, provided appropriate precautions are followed. Sun exposure, recent tanning, skin sensitivity, and treatment type can influence scheduling and suitability. Your provider will recommend appropriate sun protection and pre- and post-treatment precautions.
