Autumn is the perfect time to rejuvenate dull and lifeless summer skin and restore its youthful appearance.  At Q- the Medical Spa at Lindsay House, we offer a host of treatments designed with that very goal in mind.  Here are just a few treatments that may be of interest to you:

A Solution for Unwanted Hair

Q is pleased to provide FDA approved laser treatments to remove unwanted hair on the face and body. Lasers have been used safely for many years for a variety of medical and cosmetic procedures.

The laser system delivers a gentle beam of light through the skin to the hair follicle where it is absorbed. There, the energy is transformed into heat, which destroys the hair follicle, leaving the surrounding skin unaffected.

Due to the growth cycle of human hair, a series of treatments will be required for a particular area to be permanently "hair free." The number of treatments will also depend on your skin color, hair color, general health and the coarseness of the treated hair.
