The Tribunes of Snohomish County

Lumina Laser and Skin Care brings "Gentle Aesthetics" to Snohomish County

So, who can benefit from modern skin care?  Almost everyone.  See how some treatments have

helped our patients:

Peels:   Sheila has basically healthy skin but her pores were clogged and skin was

dull.  A series of painless peel treatments lifted away dead cells and build-up, leaving

skin soft & smooth.  Cari, a medical aesthetician with Lumina notes:  “Brides especially

love this  – it gives you such radiant skin – but peels can be done whenever the skin needs

a lift.”  Products can be better absorbed & more effective after treatment.

Hair Removal:  Jennifer was tired of razor burn, razor bumps, & ingrown hairs.  Her friend

Karen waxed.  And put up with growout.  And waxed and waxed again.   They both took

advantage of the state-of-the-art technology found at Lumina.  It offers 3-phase cooling and

is so much more comfortable than the old lasers.  “We needed to make sure we were offering

patients excellent treatments.  I tried hair removal myself a few years ago—it was terribly

painful.  I wanted to do better for my patients.  The technology is there now,” says Dr.

Stocker.  “On the other hand, there are a lot of cheap machines around that aren’t strong

enough to do the job.    We have objective medical research on our techniques and

technology.  Nothing is better.”

Rosacea treatment:  Some of the happiest skin patients are those with rosacea or facial

vessels & redness.  It can be so resistant to standard medical treatments.  With our

laser/IPL, it can be gone!  Julia hadn’t gotten much out of her prescription creams or

cosmetic store treatments.  She felt like she had to hide her brightly flushing cheeks &

nose behind thick, paste-y foundation.   After a series of treatments at Lumina, she has

thrown it away.   “People see me, now, not the makeup!”

So, what Is a photofacial?  Photofacial is a powerful skin rejuvenation technique.  Patients

love it, and we love what it does for them.   You might say it’s our forte - we offer the

best price around because we want everyone to be able to try it!  We use a combination of

techniques to address brown spots, redness, enlarged pores, & broken vessels, and stimulate

collagen.  It’s terrific for people like Hannah, a 42 year-old Mom who loves hiking and

waterskiing and did not protect her skin in the past.  Her photofacial series “took 10 years

off me!”   A series of treatments can really lift and erase a good deal of sun damage. 

Botox:  We’ve probably all heard how, in experienced hands, botox can beautifully and gently smooth out wrinkles.   Physician only injections with a highly tailored treatment and advanced techniques to allow a natural look.

Did you know that Botox is highly effective for excessive underarm sweating?  When

prescriptions are too irritating or are not enough, Botox does the job.    It’s strong

enough for medical use, but safe enough to use for special occasions, and lasts 6-10 months.

Covered by many insurances.
