Hair Removal
The ProWave laser system delivers 21st century technology for treatment of hair removal. ProWave is the most advanced hair removal system on the market for all skin types and tones. Its unique design, longer wavelength and innovative cooling design, allow extremely effective, safe and permanent hair reduction with lasting results.
Using the latest technology in laser hair removal, the ProWave laser system can rapidly treat the area without the limitations of older technologies. The ProWave delivers light energy to hundreds of hair follicles at a time and treats area in just seconds. It can treat all types of the body including legs, arms, underarms, and back. It can also treat sensitive areas like chest, bikini line and is safe to use on tanned skin.
The Procedure
Laser hair removal is performed in the office setting on an outpatient basis. During treatment, the laser device is passed over the treatment area. Patients typically experience a sensation similar to a warm rubber band being snapped against the skin. After treatment, a cooling gel may be applied to the skin.
Several treatments are needed in order to permanently remove hair in any given area. This is because the laser targets hairs that are in the active phase of growth and only 25% of hairs are in this phase at any given time. On average, four sessions are sufficient and these are performed at one-month intervals.
Laser hair removal is a quick, safe treatment for removing unwanted hair with little downtime or discomfort. Laser hair removal can be performed on both men and women on just about any area of the face or body. Common treatment areas on the face include the chin, upper lip, neck and ears. The eyebrows, sideburns and beard can be treated as well. Patients often opt for hair removal on the forearms, underarms, hands, chest, abdomen, back, bikini line, and legs. Laser hair removal is even effective in treating ingrown hairs.
LASER HAIR REMOVAL is far superior to traditional hair removal treatments like electrolysis which can be painful, inconvenient, time-consuming and can even result in scarring. The laser allows large surface areas to be treated in just a matter of minutes. During treatment, the laser light is applied to the skin and the pigment in the hair follicle absorbs the laser light. This destroys the hair follicle while sparing the surrounding skin.
An important ingredient to a safe and successful laser hair removal outcome has to do with where and who is performing the treatment. Be wary of “medical spas” that offer rock bottom pricing often with old maintained lasers being performed by poorly trained inexperienced technicians in an unsupervised environment. Dr. Michael Sheety has the most skilled, highly trained, and experienced estheticians and nurses performing the procedure under his supervision.
Vein Removal
Laser Vein Therapy For the Face & Body
Now men and women alike are making unsightly facial and leg veins a thing of the past, thanks to OC Surgical. Dr. Michael Sheety combines the ideal laser wavelength with the most flexible parameters to treat tiny spider veins as well as deep blue reticular veins quickly, safely, and effectively. Women and men with dark, light or tanned skin can experience outstanding results.
What types of veins can be treated?
Dr. Michael Sheety can remove unsightly veins from all parts of the body. Small facial veins can be treated quickly without bruising or complications. Spider veins and large blue leg veins can also be treated with excellent results. A careful evaluation with Dr. Michael Sheety will help determine which vessels can be treated. Sclerotherapy may also be an option in select cases.
What about blood blisters and port wine stains?
Hemangiomas and vascular lesions respond very well to laser treatment with just one session. Many patients who have given up on finding a solution have been overwhelmed by the success of Dr. Michael Sheety’s vascular laser treatments.
At OC Surgical & Laser , we perform laser therapy for the safe, effective treatment of unsightly spider veins on the face and legs. Facial spider veins are often associated with hormone therapy, birth control, rosacea, sun exposure, heredity and age. On the legs, spider veins may appear red, blue or purple and they can grow to very large sizes. We use the latest in laser technology, the Long Pulse YAG laser, which is safe and effective on all skin types and for spider veins as large as 4mm in size.
Laser Genesis
Laser Genesis works by directing short bursts of near-infrared energy into the treatment area. Unlike some other laser treatments, this doesn’t damage your skin. Instead, it heats it under the surface. This stimulates the production of collagen, the protein that builds the support structure for your skin.
In the weeks that follow your treatment, your skin creates new collagen to fight fine lines and wrinkles.
The therapeutic heat that Laser Genesis delivers also encourages your skin to create new, healthy cells. And as it drives the production of new skin cells, Laser Genesis supports a more even skin tone and texture. If you’ve noticed that aging is leaving your skin looking less than radiant, this is a great option to discuss with our team.
The complexion-smoothing benefits don’t stop there. As it works, this laser treatment constricts blood vessels, fighting redness while shrinking pores.
Many people call Laser Genesis a “lunchtime” procedure because you can get it in about 30 minutes and you don’t have any recovery time afterward. We can help you fit this skin-improving option seamlessly into your life.
Most people see the best results from Laser Genesis when they get 6-10 treatments spaced a few weeks apart. This helps your skin consistently create new collagen and skin cells, fighting wrinkles and redness.

The result of ProWave is unlike any other hair removal treatment. Its large spot size and fast repetition allow it to treat the large areas such as your legs and back quickly, helping to permanently remove hair for a wide range of skin types (Types 1-4) within just six to eight treatments (results may vary).
ProWave™ means finally saying goodbye to unwanted facial and body hair, especially if you struggle day-to-day with:
Ingrown hair
Razor burn
Abnormal hair grown (hirsutism/hypertrichosis)
Unwanted hair on the face
Through an infrared light, ProWave targets the germ cells of your hair follicles. Focusing on the anagen hairs (hairs in the growing phase), the infrared light zaps the mature pigment at the follicle bulb of the anagen hairs. By removing hair at this source, the pigment is destroyed, helping to permanently reduce the amount of hair in the area. Since one treatment is only able to remove 30% of hair that has the pigment, multiple treatments are required to fully remove hair in the desired area.

Tattoo Removal
The Enlighten™ is the most advanced laser system for the effective and safe removal of tattoo and benign pigmented lesions. Tattoos are comprised of a diverse range of colors and particle sizes, making their removal a formidable challenge.
Enlighten features extremely short and high-power picosecond laser pulses which break down the ink particles in tattoos. A ‘picosecond’ is one-trillionth of second, and is 1,000 times shorter than the ‘nanosecond’ pulses used in existing lasers for tattoo removal. Picosecond laser pulses have been shown to remove tattoos more completely and in fewer treatment sessions than traditional laser treatments. The Enlighten laser is a safe and effective treatment option for all skin types.

Helps with these concerns:
Spider Veins
Benefits:
Laser energy heats and eliminates abnormal vessels
Restores natural skin color and tone
No painful injections required
Can treat multiple sizes of veins
Virtually painless and can be performed without topical anesthetic
If you’re worried about spider veins or varicose veins, there’s now an effective treatment available to restore your skin and tissues. The Cutera Laser uses light energy to destroy veins that are causing an unsightly appearance. It helps break down blood vessels and redirects blood flow to the veins deep below the skin’s surface so your skin becomes clear and looks more youthful.
This treatment is ideal for patients with small facial veins and larger blue veins. The laser can target these smaller veins and help break them down with virtually no discomfort. The damaged vessels are then reabsorbed by the body while blood flow is redirected to other veins. There are no painful injections involved and most patients only need one or two treatments to achieve results.
