One part laser + one part facial = reverse signs of aging
Our advanced laser rejuvenation treatment is a safe and gentle option that treats a variety of skin conditions.
What skin conditions does the Laser Facial treat?
What are the possible side effects of Laser Facial?
The Laser Facial treatment is popularly known as a ‘lunch-time’ facial, because it’s considered a minimally invasive treatment. Clients can return to work and resume most normal activities immediately post-treatment. There may be a slight redness that should disappear within a few hours of treatment.
What kind of improvements can you expect with Laser Facial?
Over the course of 3 to 6 treatments, Laser Facial can help restore the skin’s youthful glow and appearance by smoothing out uneven textures caused by aging, sun damage or scars. You will see a more youthful, healthy complexion emerge as large pores are reduced in size, and redness diffused. Although individual treatment results are subtle, the overall effect of multiple treatments can be quite dramatic.
What areas can be treated with Laser Facial?
Any part of the body can be treated, but the most common area is the face. Boston Common offers multi-area packages, such as face, neck and décolletage. Another popular body area to treat is the back of the hands due to their extensive exposure to sun. Scars (including mild acne) on the body may also benefit from treatment.
Can the Laser Facial help with diffused redness?
Diffused redness is a general appearance of facial redness, such as rosy cheeks. This condition is caused by dilated capillaries, resulting in an appearance of general redness and/or flushing. The most commonly affected areas are the nose, forehead and cheeks. Diffused redness is often associated with a condition called rosacea (which may be hereditary). Laser Facial can help manage the condition by gently treating and reducing its condition.
What does the Laser Facial procedure feel like?
Most people find the Laser Facial to be a relaxing experience and it is popularly referred to as a lunch-time facial. At Boston Common, we refer to it as our laser facial. As it gently warms the skin as it feels more like a facial than an intense laser treatment. there is no discomfort and there is little, to no, downtime and provides instant results that you can see and feel. You can expect to return to your daily activities, immediately following the treatment.
Number of treatments
A series of four to six Laser Facial treatments is recommended to achieve an optimal outcome, and ongoing maintenance treatments are encouraged to sustain results over time. We will devise and discuss a treatment plan during your consultation.

THE “MIRACLE FILLER FOR THE FEET”
Have beautiful feet with high heels! Sculptra® Miracle Foot Filler, which was revolutionized in New York City and is used around the country, provides padding and much needed pain relief to sore feet. No more stuffing padding in your shoes to increase comfort. No need to switch from beautiful designer high heels to flats, or worse, to avoid high heels all together.
Our “Miracle Filler for the Feet”, is Sculptra® aesthetic injectable dermal filler commonly administered to the face by plastic surgeons, which is injected by our podiatrists into the foot using a patented technique. Miracle Filler for the Feet benefits those who wear high heels as well as those with atrophied fat pads, which is a natural foot condition that develops with age. The dermal filler pads the balls and soles of the feet, which reduces calluses.
Podiatrist Dr. Jordana Szpiro, DPM, FACFAS has been specially trained in the administration of Sculptra® Aesthetic dermal filler to the feet.
Think of it as adding some much-needed padding to the inside of your feet rather than the outside. As you’re walking, the biomechanics move the dermal filler to the right spot on your feet, creating a cushion. After the dermal filler has been administered, patients may experience slight swelling, tenderness or redness for up to several days. Results occur gradually following treatment.
The Keryflex™ Nail Restoration System is an innovative new solution available to treat toenails damaged by fungus, infection or injury and restore them to their original appearance. Keryflex™ utilizes polymer resins that bond to the damaged toenail to form an artificial nail that is durable, flexible and natural in appearance. The painless procedure typically takes about 15 minutes to perform and can be done in the comfort of the office.
The Keryflex™ Nail Restoration System involves preparing the nail bed by removing the damaged nail. A bonding agent is then applied to the nail bed. Following this, the Keryflex™ resin is applied to the nail bed. The resin, which is gel-like in consistency, can then be smoothed and shaped to imitate a natural nail. Once the resin has been properly shaped, the Keryflex™ sealant is applied to seal the Keryflex™ nail and make it non-porous and non-permeable. The entire Keryflex™ nail is then hardened via ultraviolet light, ensuring that it has been restored to its natural appearance.
The Keryflex™ Nail Restoration System allows for the patient to immediately return to regular daily activities post-procedure. Patients may also receive pedicures or apply nail polish to their Keryflex™nail.
