CO₂ laser technology is among the most powerful tools in modern aesthetics — and in untrained hands, among the most consequential. At Relax and Smile, every laser treatment is performed by Dr. Roman, a dental-medical professional with formal training in laser therapy.
From targeted under-eye tightening to full-face resurfacing, these treatments work by triggering your skin’s own regenerative response — stimulating collagen, tightening tissue, and restoring a smoother, more youthful surface.
Precision is everything. And here, it’s guaranteed.
A health savings account (HSA) is a savings account that lets people set aside money on a pre-tax basis to pay for qualified medical expenses. An HSA is complementary to a health care plan that has a high deductible. People can save money in an HSA before taxes and use the funds to pay for eligible health care expenses, including expenses the health plan does not cover. For example, people can use their HSA savings to cover health care costs until reaching the plan’s deductible.
People can use their HSA funds to pay the copayment until reaching the out-of-pocket limit. Taxes do not apply to the money put into an HSA. Patients can invest a portion of the money in an HSA if maintaining a balance of $1,000 or more. For this reason, many people use part of their HSA to save for retirement.

HSAs offer several benefits. People can withdraw money to pay for procedures, deductibles, copayments, or other medical expenses. Any money left in the account at the end of the year will roll over into the next year. Even if a person’s health care coverage changes due to a change in jobs, as long as they continue with a high-deductible plan, funds in the account continue to grow, tax-free. If a person changes jobs, they can enroll in a new healthcare plan and maintain access to their existing HSA, even if the new healthcare plan does not qualify. Additionally, most people can use a debit card or checks to access their funds easily.
HSAs also have some disadvantages that people should consider. One of the biggest downsides to an HSA involves the requirement to have a health insurance plan with a high deductible. Although this coverage offers lower premiums, high deductibles often become hard to come up with if facing a significant medical issue. With increasing costs of health care premiums and deductibles, it may be challenging to add more money to one’s health savings account. Some people with high deductibles hesitate to see the doctor to seek treatment due to the high costs. They may feel as if they must keep the money in their HSA to save for retirement — thus putting off important medical care.

An HSA not only helps save on health care expenses but comes with tax advantages. One advantage is that people do not have to pay taxes on contributions to their HSA. If a person adds money to their HSA through their employer, the funds are taken before taxes, lowering taxable income. People who add money to their accounts personally will have deductions from their gross income when filing income taxes at the end of the year.
Anything earned on the investment of funds also remains tax-free. If using the withdrawals to pay for qualified medical expenses, no taxes and penalty fees apply. Funds withdrawn for medical expenses are not taxed. At age 65, HSA funds are available for use without penalty. After this age, people can use their HSA savings as retirement money and withdraw funds from an HSA without incurring tax penalties, even if used for non-medical expenses. However, the money would still be subject to income tax.

People with HSA accounts may be wondering what types of dental services are covered. With an HSA, there is a big difference between services that diagnose, treat, and prevent. People should contact their provider for more information on covered dental treatments.
Some procedures may have a copayment, so it is also important to check with dental insurance providers to determine the out-of-pocket costs. Not all HSAs cover the same things. People with questions about coverage should contact their employer's benefits department, their HSA provider, or the third-party payer of their health plan.

Dental services and HSA eligibility can vary; however, some common and necessary dental procedures are eligible. HSAs cover treatments that diagnose, treat, mitigate, cure, and prevent disease. HSAs cover most dental treatments deemed medically necessary, such as:
Even with an HSA, there may be a copayment for the patient. HSAs do not cover cosmetic dental treatments such as teeth whitening or regular dental expenses, such as toothpaste, toothbrushes, dental floss, and mouthwash.

No. Quiet Nite is a non-invasive laser comfort treatment designed to help tone and tighten soft tissues that may contribute to snoring — it is not a treatment for sleep apnea or any diagnosed sleep disorder. Sleep apnea is a serious medical condition that requires diagnosis and treatment by a qualified sleep medicine physician. If you suspect you have sleep apnea, please consult a medical specialist. Quiet Nite is an aesthetic tissue-tightening procedure for comfort purposes only. Results may vary.
Traditional dermal fillers use synthetic hyaluronic acid or other materials to add volume beneath the skin. PRF Bio-Filler uses a concentrated preparation of Platelet-Rich Fibrin derived from your own blood — making it a biologically-derived approach to volume restoration. Because it uses your own growth factors, it may offer a more natural-looking result with a lower risk of adverse reactions. PRF Bio-Filler is designed for patients who prefer a natural approach using their own biology. Results may vary and individual outcomes differ.
SmoothLase® is a non-surgical laser treatment performed inside the mouth that stimulates collagen production and tightens facial tissues from within — improving skin firmness and softening wrinkles without any external incisions or downtime. Because the treatment is administered intraorally (inside the mouth), it requires the expertise of a licensed dental-medical professional who has the training, equipment, and clinical access to perform it safely. This is a treatment that most aesthetic clinics simply cannot offer. Results may vary.
Yes — many of our treatments are designed to complement each other and can be strategically combined for enhanced results. For example, Targeted PRF Bio-Renewal is frequently added on to a PRF Microneedling Facial, and HairSOME™ is designed as an enhancement to PRF Hair Rejuvenation. Your provider will review your goals during the consultation and recommend a combination approach if it's appropriate for your skin type, health history, and desired outcomes. Results may vary.
The number of sessions needed depends on the treatment and your individual goals. Some patients notice improvement after a single session, while others achieve optimal results through a series of treatments spaced several weeks apart. For example, PRF microneedling is often recommended as a series of 3 sessions, while CO₂ resurfacing may deliver significant results in one session. PRF hair rejuvenation typically requires multiple sessions over several months. We'll build a personalized treatment plan during your consultation. Results may vary.
Yes — in fact, having a medically trained dental provider perform aesthetic treatments offers significant safety advantages. Dentists have advanced clinical knowledge of facial anatomy, including the precise location of nerves, blood vessels, and tissue structures. This expertise directly translates to safer, more precise aesthetic treatment outcomes. At Relax & Smile Dental Care, all treatments are administered by a licensed medical professional using medical-grade equipment and sterile clinical protocols.
Downtime varies by treatment. PRF microneedling typically involves mild redness and sensitivity for 24–72 hours, similar to a light sunburn. CO₂ laser resurfacing may require a longer recovery period depending on the depth of treatment. Non-ablative laser treatments like SmoothLase® and LipLase® generally involve little to no visible downtime. Your provider will walk you through exactly what to expect at your consultation based on your specific treatment plan. Results and recovery may vary by individual.
PRF stands for Platelet-Rich Fibrin — a concentration of growth factors and healing proteins derived from a small sample of your own blood. During treatment, blood is drawn in-office, spun in a centrifuge to concentrate the growth factors, and then applied topically or injected into the treatment area. PRF works by stimulating your body's own regenerative processes — encouraging collagen production, cellular renewal, and tissue healing naturally. Because it uses your own biology, there are no synthetic additives or foreign substances involved. Results may vary by individual.
