Are laser treatments covered by insurance?
Generally, aesthetic and cosmetic treatments are not covered by medical insurance. You should speak with
your insurance agent to find out more.
How much will each treatment cost?
There are many different factors which effect the cost of treatments. For example, the type of laser treatment
and the area to be treated. Ellan Laser MedSpa will work with each patient on an individual basis to design a
treatment schedule and payment plan that fits your budget. For your convenience, Ellan Laser MedSpa accepts
cash, personal checks, credit cards and we also have no-interest financing available. Contact us today for a free
consultation.
How often and how many treatments will I need?
For laser hair removal, the average patient needs 4-6 treatments. For skin rejuvenation (sun & age spots), the
average patient needs 2-3 treatments. For skin tightening, the average patient needs 4-6 treatments. Finally for
vein therapy, the average patient needs 1-2 treatments. These treatments, depending upon severity, the type of
area, and the size of the area, are usually spread 3-8 weeks apart. Contact Ellan Laser MedSpa for a free
consultation to find out what treatment specifications are right for you.
How long is the laser hair removal treatment session?
The length of treatment is determined by the overall size of the area being treated. Small areas, such as an
upper lip, may take a few minutes. While larger areas, such as the back and leg, can require up to 30 minutes.
What happens during a laser treatment?
Because each laser treatment is performed by a physician, you will have a consultation that details your
treatment plan. During your treatment, the physician will start by calibrating the laser based upon your
individual treatment plan. You will be provided protective eyeware. The doctor will then proceed with the
treatment. Our state of the art lasers are equipped with a revolutionary cooling system which emits a cooling
spray of cryogen before and after each laser pulse. This cooling system provides a virtually painless session.
Does the laser treatment hurt?
Discomfort is minimal. The majority of patients describe the laser pulse as a sensation similar to the snapping of
a rubber band on your skin. Ellan Laser MedSpa’s state of the art laser reduces this discomfort even further with
its revolutionary cooling system. The laser emits a cooling spray of cryogen before and after every laser pulse.
This, in effect, cools the skin’s surface before the heat from the light energy of the laser penetrates and again
once the light energy has hit its target. For extra sensitive areas, such as bikini or upper lip, the doctor will apply
a numbing cream prior to your treatment.
What can I expect after the treatment?
After the treatment is done, some patients have experienced redness or slight irritation in the treatment area.
This discomfort is usually gone within 1-2 hours. The doctor may give you a cold pack to help relieve any
discomfort. It should be noted that treatments do not interfere with your daily routine. You can return to work or
play immediately after leaving our center. The only restriction is avoidance of sun exposure immediately after a
session. If you plan on being in the sun, please use sunscreen (SPF 30+).
What body areas can be treated with laser hair removal?

Chest, Chin, Ears, Eyebrows, Feet, Forehead, Legs, Bikini Line, Hairline, Arms, Hands, Lower Back, Lower Leg,
