Frequently Asked Questions

At Lavoro Laser, we like to ensure clients make informed decisions when it comes to anti-aging treatments, laser fat removal, hair loss treatment, cellulite removal, and erectile dysfunction treatment. Our team has created and answered some of the questions we frequently get asked and would like to provide some clarification about.

Skin Tightening & Cellulite Removal

  • Can wrinkles be reversed?

    Wrinkles are most commonly due to aging, and while a dermatologist isn't able to fully reverse wrinkles, there are treatments that can reduce their appearance. Your treatment may be a combination of treatments in order to reduce wrinkles of varying depths.

  • Can wrinkles be prevented?

    Prevention is key in reducing wrinkles, including reducing prolonged sun exposure, using sunscreen frequently, and starting a topical skin care routine.

  • Is cellulite removal permanent?

    While you may see visible results after the first session, you will need to periodically receive the treatment to maintain results.

  • What is skin tightening treatment?

    Skin tightening treatments are non-invasive or minimally invasive procedures designed to improve the elasticity and firmness of the skin. The treatment stimulates collagen production, which helps tighten and lift sagging or loose skin, resulting in a more youthful appearance.

  • Is skin-tightening treatment painful?

    Most skin tightening treatments are well tolerated and involve minimal discomfort. You may experience temporary, mild tingling during the procedure.

  • How long do the results of skin tightening treatments last?

    The results can vary depending on factors such as the individual's age, skin condition, and lifestyle. Generally, results can last for several months to a year or more, and maintenance treatments may be recommended.

Hair Loss

  • What causes hair loss?

    Hair loss can be a hereditary trait, which is one of the most common causes. However, stress, dietary changes, and other health-related issues can cause you to lose hair, which can be temporary.

  • When it comes to hair loss treatment, are there non-surgical options?

    Yes, there are a variety of non-surgical options available for treating hair loss. At Lavoro Laser, our technicians are carefully trained to perform platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy, which utilizes cells within your blood to stimulate your body’s natural healing response and achieve incredible, versatile benefits.

  • How long does it take to see results from hair loss treatments?

    The timeline for seeing results depends on the treatment method used as well as how well the individual reacts to the treatment.

  • Is there any downtime after hair loss treatments?

    Since it is non-invasive, little to no downtime is required after treatment.

  • Are hair loss treatments permanent?

    The permanence of hair loss treatments depends on the underlying cause of hair loss and the treatment method used. Some treatments, such as hair transplant surgery, can provide long-lasting results, while others, like topical medications, may require ongoing use to maintain the benefits.

Sexual Dysfunction

  • What is erectile dysfunction (ED)?

    Erectile dysfunction, often called ED, is the inability to achieve or maintain an erection firm enough for sexual activity. It’s a common condition that can affect men of all ages, though it’s more common as men get older. Occasional difficulty with erections isn’t unusual, but persistent issues may indicate erectile dysfunction.

  • What causes ED?

    ED can result from a variety of physical, psychological, and lifestyle factors. Physical causes may include conditions like heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, obesity, or hormonal imbalances. Psychological factors such as stress, anxiety, or depression can also contribute. Additionally, lifestyle aspects like smoking, excessive alcohol use, and lack of exercise may increase the risk.

  • Is ED a normal part of aging?

    While the risk of ED increases with age, it’s not an inevitable part of getting older. Many men maintain healthy sexual function well into later life. However, age-related conditions like reduced blood flow or hormonal changes may contribute. With proper treatment and lifestyle changes, the effects of ED can often be minimized.

  • When should I seek medical advice for ED?

    You should seek medical advice if you experience persistent difficulties with erections or if it’s affecting your quality of life, relationships, or emotional health. ED can sometimes signal an underlying health condition, so addressing it early can prevent more serious complications.

  • Are there treatments for ED aside from oral medications?

    While oral medication can certainly help with ED, they can produce unwanted side effects such as headaches and diarrea. These oral medications also fail to produce permenant results and are only effective when they are taken right before sexual intercourse. For these reasons, many men seek alternative treatments such as shockwave therapy for erectile dysfunction. Shockwave therapy is non-invasive and can produce full benefits in as little as six to 12 procedures. What shockwave therapy can do is produce pulsed acoustic waves that cause additional opening in blood veseels for increased blood flow, allowing for stronger and longer erections.
