20-25% of the heart's blood output?

    The skin developes from the same embryonic layer as the brain and that
the two are still much interconnected?... MindYourSkin!

What is 3D Skin Rejuvenation™?

     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.

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.

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!

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; made so by epidermal cooling, before, during and after treatment. Another major advantage of Titan is the low cost of ownership.

Excimer Psoriasis and Vitiligo Laser

    Introduced in 2000, the XTRAC was the first FDA market-cleared excimer laser system for the
treatment of psoriasis. Many insurance companies help cover the cost of this treatment. It is also cleared for repigmentation treatment of vitiligo and atopic dermatitis, but insurance coverage for these varies.
    A carefully focused beam of light passed through a sophisticated xenon-chloride liquid light guiding device, delivers a high dose of monochromatic UVB light right to the problem spot for fast, effective treatment while minimizing the risk of exposure to healthy skin. It is ideal to for areas such as knees, elbows and scalp, and dovetails nicely with our UVB Broad and Narrowband Uvisol Booth body unit.

	Depending on the extent and severity of your psoriasis,   you can expect benefits such as:      • Effective clearing — generally in 10 or less brief sessions      • Long-lasting relief—typically several months free        of symptoms      • Quick, easy, painless treatment—sessions last only a        few minutes, twice a week for 4 - 6 weeks      • Relief without messy creams and daily skin care regimen      • Covered by most major insurance companies   Depending on the extent and severity of your vitiligo,   you can expect benefits such as: Effective clearing — generally in 30 or less brief sessions Quick, easy, painless treatment Relief without medications and daily skin care regimen Coverage by insurance companies varies

VASER® AND SMARTLIPO™

Smartlipo™

     You’ve tried dieting. You’ve tried exercise. But parts of your body have simply refused to 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 tissue

     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.
