The Elluminate® laser facial targets the two things that age skin fastest in Georgia sun: pigment and redness. Sun spots, brown spots, freckling, flushing, and small broken vessels — treated in a quick session with minimal downtime. Here's what it costs, what it feels like, and what results actually look like.

What does it treat?

Elluminate is our go-to for photoaging: scattered brown spots on cheeks and temples, overall dullness and uneven tone, redness and visible capillaries around the nose and chin. It's the "my skin just looks cleaner" treatment — people notice, but can't say why.

What happens during and after?

Sessions are quick — you'll feel warm snaps as the laser meets pigment. Afterward, treated spots typically darken (think coffee grounds) and flake away over several days, while redness settles within hours. Most guests go straight back to their day; strict SPF before and after is the one non-negotiable.

How many sessions, and what does it cost?

Many guests see satisfying clearing after a single session; a series of 2–3 gives the best correction, with maintenance once or twice a year — often timed to autumn, after sun season does its damage. Current per-session and package pricing is on the Elluminate page; Club members save 15%.

Elluminate, IPL, or CoolPeel?

They're neighbors with different jobs: Elluminate and IPL target pigment and redness; CoolPeel® resurfaces texture, pores, and fine lines. Sun-damaged skin often benefits from pigment work first, texture second. The right sequence comes from a free consultation with Visia imaging — which literally photographs your UV damage before we recommend anything.

Is there downtime?+
Minimal — spots darken and flake over several days; redness fades within hours. Makeup is usually fine the next day.
Will the spots come back?+
Treated spots flake away, but sun exposure creates new ones — that's why maintenance sessions and daily SPF keep results.
Who performs it?+
Laser-certified practitioners under board-certified dermatologist supervision, at all three Carroll Cosmetic Club studios.
