If you’ve ever Googled “laser treatment Augusta GA” and walked away more confused than when you started, you’re not alone. The world of laser aesthetics is genuinely exciting, but it can also feel overwhelming when you’re staring at a list of treatment names that sound more like a NASA briefing than a spa menu.
IPL. Fractional resurfacing. Carbon facial. Body contouring. Tattoo removal. What does any of it actually mean, and more importantly, which one is right for your skin and your goals?
At The Rae Clinic in Evans, Georgia, we offer one of the most comprehensive laser menus in the Augusta and CSRA area, and we believe every patient deserves to understand exactly what each treatment does before they book. So consider this your complete, no-jargon guide to every laser treatment we offer, who it’s best for, and what you can realistically expect.
Let’s get into it.
How Do Laser Treatments Work?
Before we break down the individual treatments, let’s make sure we’re on the same page about what lasers actually do.
Laser treatments use concentrated light energy delivered to the skin at specific wavelengths to target concerns such as pigmentation, damaged skin cells, unwanted hair, tattoo ink, or excess fat. Depending on the type of laser and the depth of treatment, the light energy either removes damaged tissue, stimulates the body’s natural healing and collagen production, or destroys targeted cells entirely.
The result, depending on the treatment, is resurfaced skin, reduced pigmentation, tighter skin texture, hair removal, faded tattoos, or contoured body areas. All without surgery, with varying degrees of downtime depending on treatment intensity.
The key is matching the right laser to the right concern, which is exactly what your provider at The Rae Clinic does at every consultation.
IPL Laser Treatment in Evans & Augusta, GA | $75-$375/session
What it is:
IPL stands for Intense Pulsed Light, and despite the name, it’s not technically a laser. It uses broad-spectrum light delivered in pulses to target multiple concerns simultaneously without damaging the surrounding skin. It’s one of the most versatile and popular treatments in our laser menu.
What it treats:
Sun damage and age spots | Redness and broken capillaries | Hyperpigmentation and uneven skin tone | Rosacea | General skin dullness
What to expect:
IPL feels like a small rubber band snapping against the skin, mild and very manageable for most patients. There’s minimal downtime; some patients experience temporary redness and mild darkening of pigmented spots (which flake off within 7-10 days) before revealing significantly clearer, more even skin underneath.
Best for:
Patients with sun damage, uneven skin tone, redness, or pigmentation concerns who want meaningful results with minimal downtime. IPL is also an excellent entry point for patients who are new to laser treatments.
Results:
Most patients see significant improvement after 3-5 sessions spaced 3-4 weeks apart. Fall and winter are ideal seasons for IPL; lower UV exposure means safe treatment and better results.
Starting at $75 per session. Packages available.
Fractional Resurfacing Laser in Evans & Augusta, GA | $200-$550/session
What it is:
Fractional resurfacing uses laser energy to create thousands of microscopic treatment zones in the skin, triggering the body’s natural wound-healing response and stimulating significant collagen remodeling. It’s one of the most powerful non-surgical skin resurfacing treatments available.
What it treats:
Fine lines and wrinkles | Acne scarring | Surgical scars | Uneven skin texture | Enlarged pores | Sun damage | Skin laxity
What to expect:
Fractional resurfacing involves more downtime than IPL. Patients typically experience redness, swelling, and skin peeling for 5-7 days post-treatment as the skin heals and renews. The results, however, are significantly more dramatic, and they continue to improve for weeks and months after treatment as collagen remodeling progresses.
Best for:
Patients with more significant skin concerns, such as deeper wrinkles, acne scarring, pronounced texture issues, or skin laxity, who are ready for a more intensive treatment and can accommodate the downtime. Also ideal for patients who want to address multiple concerns in fewer sessions.
Results:
Most patients see transformative results after 1-3 sessions. Fall is the optimal season for fractional resurfacing, cooler weather, and lower UV exposure, which support better healing and outcomes.
$200-$500 per session, depending on treatment area.
Carbon Facial in Evans & Augusta, GA
What it is:
The Carbon Facial, also known as the Hollywood Peel or Carbon Laser Peel, is one of our most unique and satisfying treatments. A thin layer of medical-grade liquid carbon is applied to the skin, where it penetrates deep into the pores. A laser is then passed over the skin, causing the carbon to heat and vaporize, taking dead skin cells, oil, and debris with it.
What it treats:
Enlarged pores | Oily skin | Dull complexion | Uneven skin texture | Mild pigmentation | Active acne
What to expect:
The Carbon Facial is virtually painless; most patients describe it as a warm, tingling sensation. There is zero downtime, and most patients leave with visibly brighter, smoother, tighter-looking skin immediately after their appointment. It’s often called the “lunchtime laser” for exactly this reason.
Best for:
Patients looking for immediate, visible results with zero downtime. The Carbon Facial is also an excellent maintenance treatment between more intensive resurfacing sessions, and a popular pre-event treatment for patients who want to look their best quickly.
Carbon Facial at $350/session
Laser Hair Removal in Evans & Augusta, GA | $75-550/session
What it is:
Laser hair removal uses targeted light energy to damage hair follicles at the root, inhibiting future hair growth over a series of treatments. It’s one of the most requested aesthetic treatments in the world, and for good reason: the results are long-lasting, the process is straightforward, and the freedom from razors, waxing, and ingrown hairs is genuinely life-changing.
What it treats:
Unwanted hair on any area of the body, including legs, underarms, bikini area, face, back, arms, and more.
What to expect:
Each session feels like a quick rubber band snap against the skin; very manageable, particularly with our providers’ technique. Sessions are fast, depending on the treatment area, and most patients need 6-8 treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart for optimal results. Maintenance sessions may be needed once or twice a year.
Best for:
Anyone tired of the endless cycle of shaving, waxing, or dealing with ingrown hairs. Laser hair removal works on most skin types and tones. Your provider will assess your candidacy at your consultation. Keep in mind that blonde and red hair do not respond strongly to laser hair removal.
$75-$550 per session, depending on treatment area.
Tattoo Removal in Evans & Augusta, GA | $125-$400 session
What it is:
Our laser tattoo removal treatments use targeted laser energy to break down tattoo ink into tiny particles that the body’s immune system can naturally eliminate over time. It’s a gradual process, but an effective one.
What it treats:
Unwanted tattoos of all sizes, pricing depends on the treatment area size.
What to expect:
Tattoo removal requires patience as it isn’t a painless process; most tattoos require multiple sessions spaced 6-8 weeks apart to achieve complete or significant fading, depending on the ink colors, depth, and the tattoo's age. Older tattoos and certain ink colors respond faster than newer ones. Your provider will give you a realistic timeline at your consultation.
Best for:
Anyone ready to move on from a tattoo that no longer represents who they are. We see everything from small regrettable impulse tattoos to larger pieces that patients are ready to let go of, and we approach every case without judgment.
$125-$400 per session depending on treatment area size
Body Contouring Laser in Evans & Augusta, GA | $185-$375/session
What it is:
Our body contouring laser treatments use targeted laser energy to address stubborn fat deposits and improve body contour without surgery, significant downtime, or the recovery that comes with more invasive procedures.
What it treats:
Stubborn fat in targeted areas | Body Contouring and definition | Skin tightening
What to expect:
Body contouring laser treatments are comfortable, require no downtime, and deliver gradual, progressive results over a series of sessions. Most patients require multiple treatments to achieve optimal contouring results. Your provider will recommend a personalized treatment plan at your consultation.
Best for:
Patients who are at or near their goal weight but are struggling with stubborn areas that diet and exercise alone haven’t addressed. Also pairs beautifully with our medical weight-loss program and Sculpt Protocol peptide therapy for comprehensive body-contouring results.
$185-$375 per session depending on treatment area
