Whether you’re familiar with laser treatments, or you’re new to this whole medical aesthetics thing, there are so many benefits of laser treatment in Menlo Park that you almost have to explore the world of lasers!
At Entre Nous Aesthetics, we offer a large variety of treatments that utilize laser therapies to provide a variety of results! If you think you could enjoy the benefits of laser treatment in Menlo Park, then keep scrolling to see 4 ways laser therapy can change your life.
What is laser therapy?
Laser therapies are aesthetic procedures using light sources from a laser (which stands for light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation) to produce desired aesthetic goals. Lasers guarantee that your aesthetician can treat areas with precision and efficiency, while leaving surrounding areas unharmed.
At Entre Nous Aesthetics, we have two types of laser that, together, can perform all sorts of treatments and produce tons of fantastic results.
Ablative
Ablative lasers use heat to create tiny micro wounds on the first layer of the skin, signaling to the skin cells that it’s time to start regenerating collagen and elastin. The hyper-production of these cells makes our skin smooth, firm, and young-looking!
Think of ablative lasers like working out. When you go to the gym, what you’re actually doing is creating little tears in your muscles. As the muscle heals, it promotes new growth, which improves your muscle’s strength and health! The exact same principles apply to ablative laser treatments.
Non-ablative
Non-ablative, or non-wounding, lasers provide similar benefits to their ablative counterpart. They use heat and light to stimulate collagen growth which over time can smooth wrinkles, help heal scars, and promote firm and healthy skin. Non-ablative lasers are less invasive than ablative lasers, and require less downtime. However, they often require multiple sessions to see desired results.
There are many benefits of laser treatment in Menlo Park, but each treatment we offer provides different results. Consult with us to decide which one might be best for you!
Ideal candidates for laser therapy in Menlo Park
Most adults in generally good health can enjoy the benefits of laser treatment in Menlo Park. An ideal candidate may have mild-to-moderate signs of aging, such as wrinkles and fine lines, or sun spots. People with port-wine stains, rosacea, and other pigmentation issues may also benefit from laser therapies.
Four ways laser therapy can change your life
-
Treat acne scars
Acne scarring is frustrating because it lingers around even when acne has made a (not always so) graceful exit. You’ve fought your battle with acne, and now you’ve got a constant reminder of its presence?? Not fun. These scars are often tricky to get rid of, but with laser therapy, you can greatly reduce the visibility of acne scarring.
Using our state-of-the-art V-beam Prima Laser, your medical aesthetic specialist at Entre Nous Aesthetics can effectively break up the irregular scar tissue and encourage new collagen production, promoting more uniform tissue growth which will provide aesthetic improvement of the scar.
This treatment also works on other types of scarring, whether it be from surgery, trauma to the skin, or C-section!

Say goodbye to unwanted body hair!
Shaving is tedious, waxing hurts, and tweezing takes forever! There are tons of reasons why you might want to eliminate body hair for good. Not only will it put an end to razor burn and in-grown hairs, but it will give you back the time and money you spend on hair removal. With laser hair removal at Entre Nous, you can have silky smooth skin all year round!
Using the LightSheer by Lumenis® laser, our skilled aestheticians target the hair follicle in its early growth stage to permanently diminish its size. Over the course of around 6 laser hair removal sessions, most clients achieve permanent hair removal.
Here are some the areas it treats:
- Upper lip
- Cheeks
- Chin
- Sideburns
- Unibrow
- Arms & hands
- Underarms
- Bikini area
- Legs & feet
- Back
- Torso
3. Restore vaginal health
On our quest for fantastic facial skincare it can be easy to forget that we should be treating our vaginas with the same, if not better, care. Although signs of aging on the face might be more visible to the public eye, you should not undermine the importance of vaginal skincare!
Using laser vaginal therapy, our excellent team can help rejuvenate the tissue of the vulva and vagina, leaving you feeling healthy, young, and beautiful. Some of the issues laser vaginal therapy can treat include:
- Stress urinary incontinence
- Vaginal dryness
- Vaginal laxity
- Painful intercourse
- Pigment changes in the vulvar area
This procedure requires no downtime, so you can enjoy the benefits of laser treatment in Menlo Park without disrupting your day-to-day life!
4. Reverse signs of aging
As we age, our skin changes. Gravity takes its toll, wrinkles become pronounced, and sun spots appear. Although all of this is normal and beautiful in its own way, most people prefer the smooth, taut skin of their youth.
Fractional CO2 laser skin resurfacing offers dramatic anti-aging results. Using our CO2RE® laser by Candela, our skilled aestheticians can target areas of concern like wrinkles, fine lines, brown spots, uneven skin tone, and enlarged pores. The laser creates micro wounds in the skin, which generates collagen growth and works to correct those problem areas.
What it treats
- Deep wrinkles & lines
- Skin laxity
- Uneven skin tone & texture
- Sun damage
- Enlarged pores
- Stretch marks
- Age spots
Areas it treats
- Lower eyelid
- Upper eyelid
- Around mouth
- Forehead
- Cheeks
- Neck
- Chest
- Shoulders
- Hands
This laser treatment is customizable to your unique aesthetic needs and desired results. Offering dramatic results with very little downtime, this treatment is one of our most popular!
Frequently asked questions about laser treatments in Menlo Park
Does laser treatment hurt?
The pain and discomfort associated with laser treatments depends on the type and length of treatment. Patients have reported that it feels like rubber bands snapping on the skin. If you’re concerned or anxious about experiencing pain during any procedure, schedule a time to talk with one of our staff members, so we can go over your concerns.
How much downtime will I experience?
One of the major benefits of laser treatment in Menlo Park is the short amount of downtime required. Some medium-depth treatments require 3 to 7 days of rest and non-exposure afterwards, but most of the treatments we perform require absolutely no downtime.
To discuss the downtime of a particular procedure in more detail, schedule a consultation with the team at Entre Nous Aesthetics!
What is the difference between IPL and a laser?
IPL stands for Intense Pulsed Light and is not a laser. While a laser is one wavelength going in one direction, IPL produces a variety of wavelengths of light. Both of these methods can produce similar results, but IPL treatments often require more sessions to see the desired results.
