Laser hair removal works by targeting the pigment in the hair follicle with concentrated light energy, disabling its ability to grow without damaging the surrounding skin.

Advanced laser technology allows for safe and effective hair removal on a wide range of skin tones, though results may vary. At Opal we use the Clarity II laser by Lutronic which uses a Alexandrite & Nd:YAG which is safe & effective for all skin types 1-6.

The number of sessions needed varies depending on factors such as hair color, thickness, and the area being treated. Generally, a series of 6-12 sessions spaced 4 to 8 weeks apart is recommended for best results.

Laser skin resurfacing can effectively improve the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, acne scars, sun damage, and uneven skin tone and texture.

Downtime can vary depending on the depth of the treatment. Some clients experience redness, swelling, and peeling, which typically subside within a few days to a week. 

Results can be long-lasting, but maintenance treatments may be recommended to sustain optimal results as the skin continues to age. We recommend by protecting your investment with quality SPF & skin care products.

Botox is a brand name for a neurotoxin produced by the bacterium *Clostridium botulinum*. It is used medically to treat certain muscular conditions and cosmetically to remove wrinkles by temporarily paralyzing muscles.

Botox works by blocking the nerve signals to the muscles where it is injected. This prevents the muscles from contracting, which helps reduce the appearance of wrinkles. At Opal we offer Botox, Dysport & Xeomin. 

Common areas treated with Botox include frown lines between the eyebrows, crow’s feet around the eyes, and forehead lines. It can also be used for medical conditions such as chronic migraines, excessive sweating, and certain muscle disorders.

Dermal fillers are injectable substances used to restore volume, smooth out wrinkles, and enhance facial contours. They are often made from hyaluronic acid, collagen, or other biocompatible materials.

Dermal fillers work by adding volume to the skin and underlying tissues, thereby filling in wrinkles and hollow areas. They can also stimulate collagen production, improving skin texture and elasticity over time. And don’t worry you will still look like you. Opal philosophy is all about keeping it natural!

Common areas treated with dermal fillers include the cheeks, lips, nasolabial folds (smile lines), marionette lines (lines running from the corners of the mouth to the chin), under-eye hollows, and jawline.

The duration of dermal filler effects varies depending on the type of filler used and the area treated. Generally, hyaluronic acid fillers last between 6-18 months, while other fillers like calcium hydroxylapatite can last up to 12 months or more.

Common side effects include temporary redness, swelling, bruising, and tenderness at the injection site. Serious side effects are rare but can include allergic reactions or vascular complications. People with severe allergies, bleeding disorders, or certain autoimmune diseases should avoid dermal fillers. It’s important to discuss your medical history with your healthcare provider before receiving treatment.

Lipo B12 injections work by combining the fat-burning properties of lipotropic compounds with the energy-boosting benefits of Vitamin B12. The lipotropic compounds help the liver process fats more efficiently, while Vitamin B12 aids in energy production and overall metabolic function.

Individuals who may benefit from Lipo B12 injections include those looking to lose weight, people with low energy levels, individuals with Vitamin B12 deficiency, and those wanting to improve their metabolic health.

The frequency of Lipo B12 injections can vary based on individual needs and goals. Typically, they are administered once a week or every few weeks. It's important to follow the advice of a healthcare provider for personalized recommendations.
