Minimal Downtime in Raleigh, NC

Request Consultation

Our minimal downtime lasers might require 24-48 hours of downtime due to redness, swelling and darkening of pigmentation. However, many of our clients that are business professionals still can enjoy the benefits of minimal downtime lasers. If a patient has one of these procedures done on Thursday or Friday, they will be back to work on Monday with a glowing appearance.

Minimal Downtime Treatments

Our minimal downtime lasers are used for aeration of skin using the roller technology. An analogy would be similar to aerating your lawn before you seed it to have the best lawn in the neighborhood. These lasers turn over skin cells at any age, offering results for a wide variety of concerns from anti-aging treatments to event preparation.

Experience Counts

Eileen strongly suggests all of the minimal downtime lasers we offer for not just her patients, but for herself as well.

Diverse Approaches
to Beautiful Outcomes

Minimal Downtime TREATMENT OPTIONS

Clear + Brilliant

Our Clear and Brilliant laser is often referred to as a mini-fraxel, with less downtime. This non-ablative laser creates micro-channels in a pixelated fashion which can tighten and brighten dull skin while addressing aging and collagen concerns. This can be done in 1 treatment, but we suggest a quarterly series for the best results, so you can buy 3 and get 1 free at Aesthetics by Eileen. This treatment may leave the skin with a mild sandpaper-like texture immediately afterward, though very mild redness and swelling might be the only side effect noticeable to others. You can expect to be in the office for about an hour and a half with numbing time included.

Photofacial (IPL/BBL)

Intense Pulse Light (IPL or BBL) can reduce visible signs of premature aging such as sun damage, brown spots, redness, visible veins and discoloration. This laser can be anywhere from 1-6 treatments, with 4 weeks between each treatment, depending on our patient’s goals. This treatment can result in minimal to moderate swelling, redness, and darkening of pigmentation. You can expect to be in the office for 20-30 minutes per session. Sometimes we like to pretreat your skin with products prior to treatment. Can be used for face, neck, chest, arms, hands, or legs.

Skincycling

Developed entirely by Eileen, the Skincycling Treatment stands as her signature series and can only be found at Aesthetics by Eileen. This 6 series treatment will address skin texture, tone, pores, discoloration, redness and holistic skin health. Each treatment has very minimal downtime and often patients head back to work the same day. You can expect to be in the office for 15-25 minutes per session.

Who Is a Good Candidate?

Our minimal-downtime lasers are ideal for anyone seeking healthier, more radiant skin with minimal downtime. These treatments suit a wide range of patients, from younger individuals focused on prevention to our more mature population targeting sun damage, fine lines, or uneven tone. They’re perfect for those with busy schedules who still want noticeable results without extended recovery. The number of treatments can be easily tailored, with flexible packages and series options to suit each patient’s goals and lifestyle. They can also be combined with other treatments or add-ons for enhanced rejuvenation and overall skin health.

Recovery
and Results

Our best results are seen in patients who follow the suggested amount of treatments and keep up with the maintenance required by these minimal downtime procedures. Since you are always aging, we always suggest using medical grade skincare to enhance and extend results as well.

Risks and
Considerations

Some patients may experience swelling, redness or discoloration for 24-48 hours, but rest assured these lasers are in the hands of experts who care about your results.

Frequently Asked Questions

With our IPL and skincycling treatments some patients request numbing and some do not, but either way we will be sure to keep you comfortable. Clear and Brilliant requires numbing cream and we will have patients come to the office 45 minutes early to ensure that this treatment is pain-free.

Our effects can vary from patient to patient, however with IPL and Clear and Brilliant patients usually report redness and mild swelling.

You can put makeup on immediately if needed, but we suggest refraining from makeup products for 24 hours.

You can call our office at 919-881-2100.

Since each patient has different skincare goals and desired outcomes, Eileen customizes her treatment to each individual. Therefore, we highly suggest an in-person consultation before determining which laser is right for you.

Addons

There are add-ons that we suggest pre-procedure and post-procedure that are patient specific and can be recommended to you in the office to enhance and extend results.
