Lumenis UltraPulse Encore

Fractional CO2 Laser (ActiveFX™)

(non-surgical)  

Skin Tightening and Resurfacing

      

is the innovative, first and still Gold Standard technology that leads the way in its ability to

accomplish in a 20 minute, in-office treatment, all of the following:

.

  • Skin tightening (lines, wrinkles, eyelids, crêpeyness, jowls)
  • Improve skin tone (uneven pigmentation) and                   
  • Improve skin texture (skin surface irregularities, pores)   
      

Fractional procedures ablate discrete columns of tissue, removing surface discoloration and immediate collagen conraction as well as long-term collagen production and remodeling

ActiveFX™, DeepFX™, PigmentFX™ and the combined procedure,
TotalFX™, are variations on fractional CO2 'bridge' therapy, allowing
the desired outcomes with limited downtime!

Dramatic results are seen in one week!

     We offer to schedule a complimentary office consultation

     to discuss these exciting treatments and alternatives.

     You will see pre and post pictures of patients treated by us.

     Come see why this new procedure is still better than the rest!

Cutera® Xeo

3D Skin Rejuvenation™

.

                        The Cutera® Xeo Platform

Patients present with different needs. Imperfections at the surface, deeper in the epidermis or at the deep dermis are common. Unfortunately, as we grow older, our imperfections turn into multi-layered problems - solar lentigines, poikiloderma, vascularity, rosacea and wrinkles, to name a few.

Cutera® takes a three-tiered approach to skin rejuvenation resulting in noticeably improved skin tone, texture and tightness. Separately, each clinical application provides a powerful solution.

Together, they offer flexible, effective skin rejuvenation.

1. The LimeLight Facial™         

     For patients, the LimeLight Facial is a procedure that will treat their diffuse redness, dyschromia, telangiectasia, solar lentigines and rosacea with more precision - effectively decreasing the number of treatments. And, LimeLight can be used where you need it most - on the face, chest, arms and hands without gel or topical anesthetics.

2. Laser Genesis™

      Laser Genesis is a breakthrough non-ablative photorejuvenation procedure that provides multiple benefits beyond the popular “photo-facial” trend of recent years. Laser Genesis addresses common skin conditions due to the aging process and the result is a healthier, younger-looking complexion. Clinical effects such as reduced wrinkles, diminished pore size, reduction in erythema and improved skin texture are all possible with this technology. Electron microscopy analysis shows a significant production of new collagen—actually increasing skin firmness and improving skin texture.


  Advantages of Laser Genesis

  • Through gentle heating of the dermis, fine structures such as the microvasculature are targeted and ultimately collagen is formed with cross-linking of the fibers.
  • All skin types may be treated—even during the summer—without fear of complications
  • No gel or anesthesia is required. Laser Genesis is definitely a lunchtime procedure!

3. Titan® XL - Skin Tight in a New Light !

.

.

     The Titan is the first tailored infrared light source for sustained deep dermal heating.    Clinicians most commonly treat the face, neck and abdomen, achieving high patient satisfaction in 1 to 3 treatment sessions. Titan treatments are comfortable and safe, which is afforded by epidermal cooling, before, during and after treatment!

 

4. Nd:Yag laser for spider veins & cherry red spots

    Nd:Yag 1064nm lasering is designed to eliminate individual blood vessels. On the face a single treatment often suffices; on the legs repeat treatment may be necessary.

 VASER® AND SMARTLIPO™

 

                               SmartLipo Laser Liposuction       Smartlipo™

    

You’ve tried dieting. You’ve tried exercise. But parts of your body have simply refused to budge or tone up.Now you can change all that. LaserBodySculpting is a revolutionary, minimally invasive treatment that does something no fitness routine in the world can: permanently destroy fat cells. Since your body has only a finite amount of these cells, no new fat cells come back. You can finally have that body you’ve always wanted. Benefits:

.

  • Permanently destroys fat cells
  • Improves overall body shape
  • Minimally invasive
  • Coagulation resulting in tissue tightening

.

    This laser-assisted lipolysis procedure is performed using a one millimeter cannula (or tube) inserted into the skin.A laser fiber inside of the cannula delivers energy directly to fat cells, causing them to rupture and drain away as liquid. Simultaneously, tissue around the area coagulates, resulting in overall tighter skin.

     LaserBodySculpting is ideal for the neck, jawline, arms, breasts, “bra fat,” abdomen, “love handles”, “saddle bags”, inner and outer thighs and knees. LaserBodySculpting is meant for areas that do not respond to diet or exercise. The perfect candidate is in good health and of normal body weight.Conventional liposuction is meant to remove greater amounts of fat. However, since this can leave behind unsightly pockets of skin, laser assisted lipolysis is often a perfect complement.LaserBodySculpting is a minimally invasive procedure which usually requires only local anesthesia. Some light trauma can occur, but you’ll be able to return to work in a couple of days and resume exercise after two weeks.

     Typically only one treatment is required. Results can be seen within a week,

with continued improvement over 3 to 6 months.

A compression garment may be worn for a short period after treatment, depending on the body area treated.

.

VASER LipoSelection®

    This procedure uses the VASER® System's patented innovative ultrasound technology for fatty tissue emulsion and proprietary cannulae designed to minimize tissue trauma during aspiration. Because nerves and blood vessels are largely undisturbed, patients and physicians report low to minimal pain and bruising. Moreover, the VASER® LipoSelection® procedure allows physicians to work with such precision that they can shape delicate areas like the inner thighs, arms, chin and neck.

UVB Broad and Narrowband

Uvisol Booth body unit.

UVB narrow band lamp (NB-UVB) technology comprises a subset of the UVB wideband, or broadband, spectrum centered at roughly 311 nm.  This is less than 1% of total range of wavelengths from sunlight. Skin is most sensitive to erythemic response, (sun burning) at 297 nm, so narrow band phototherapy nearly eliminates sun burning (see chart below). Since the wavelength is shorter, exposure time to narrow band UVB phototherapy treatment lights can be increased.  This provide faster clearing and more complete disease resolution than broadband UVB treatment.   Neither broadband nor NB-UVB require photosensitizing agents.
