Profractional Laser Treatment
As seen on Oprah and The Today Show, the Profractional Laser Treatment is the best skin rejuvenation treatment to date.
The Profractional Laser penetrates deeply into the dermis with thousands of pinpoint areas of the skin. The treated areas stimulate production of new collagen, plumping up the skin and smoothing out wrinkles, lines, scars and spots. The areas of untreated skin invigorate the body’s natural healing process. And the best part is that the healing time takes only 1-3 days.
Profractional Laser Treatments are effective for:
- Wrinkles
- Fine lines
- Acne scars
- Post-traumatic scars
- Acne spots
- Sun spots
- Freckles
- Aging skin
- Sun damaged skin
- Stretch marks
The most popular areas to be treated are the face, neck, chest, shoulders, and hands.
A topical numbing cream will be applied 30 minutes prior to procedure to optimize comfort.
A typical treatment program consists of 1-5 profractionals, spaced 3-6 weeks apart. A personalized cosmetic treatment plan will be devised in order to reach the level of improvement you desire.
And again, the healing process is only 1-3 days.
MicroLaserPeel
The "weekend" skin peel, the MicroLaserPeel treats
skin conditions associated with aging and an active lifestyle.
The MicroLaserPeel is an intra-epidermal laser peel that precisely
ablates the outermost layers of the skin. The procedure is individually
tailored to the nature of the condition to be corrected. Skin
conditions such as wrinkles, scars, acne scars, keratoses, or
pigment problems have been very successfully treated with a
MicroLaserPeel.
While microdermabrasion only removes the stratum corneum
(10 microns), the MicroLaserPeel is a partial-to-full epidermal
peel (20-50 microns) and is performed with topical anesthesia.
Typically the procedure is repeated 2-4 times, spaced 6-8
weeks apart, but many peels may be done to achieve the
desired result.

ClearScan Laser Hair Removal
ClearScan contains an infrared laser that can
selectively target microstructures such as hair follicles.
It is very
effective for lighter skin types and, because of the
relatively low absorption of this light by melanin, it
is the best
choice when treating darker skin types. Additionally
the ability to safely treat sun-tanned skin makes this
the
treatment of choice for active individuals. The ClearScan
laser selectively targets your hair follicles and heats
them with infrared energy. Unlike other processes,
the laser beam treats many hairs at once, making treatment
of large areas practical. The CleanScan employs a unique
computer-guided scanning system that automates the
treatment,
ensuring that your skin is rapidly and evenly treated.
The computer sets the parameters and places the beam
in an optimum pattern for your skin to ensure a safe,
fast,
effective and gently treatment.
Some redness and slight swelling may be present in
the area that has been treated; however, this should
subside
within a few hours. If any prolonged redness or swelling
occurs, consult your physician. Keep the treated area
clean, use at least SPF 15 sunscreen when outdoors
and follow
your physician's instructions. You may need to be treated
3-5 times at intervals of 3-8 weeks. There are three
phases of hair growth: anagen, catagen and telogen.
Only hairs
in the active growth phase, anagen, can be successfully
treated.
Profile Vascular Laser for Veins and Redness
Profile is a new laser using infrared energy and a new
standard for the treatment of many skin conditions.
Profile allows your physician to precisely treat
visible vessels, broken capillaries, spider veins, vascular
lesions and discoloration of your skin. Conditions
that can be treated with the Profile laser include
Rosacea, Redness, Facial Veins, Spider Veins, Broken
Capillaries, Redness, Telangiectasia (small facial
veins). Unwanted vessels will be preferentially
heated
by the laser's energy and become less noticeable.
All skin areas can be treated. Popular areas are the
face,
neck, chest and legs. Discuss your needs with your
physician.
Profile BBL Broadband Light Laser for Photorejuvenation
BBL broadband light's innovative technology sets new standards
for the treatment of skin conditions associated with
aging, active life-styles and sun damage. BBL broadband
light energy allows your physician to precisely treat
fine wrinkles, age spots, small facial veins, rosacea,
redness and flushing, solar lentigines (freckles),
Cafe Au Lait maculae, brown spots, birth marks, port
wine
stains, red spots, enlarged pores, poikiloderma,
burn erythema, hyperpigmentation, etc. The light energy
delivered
by the BBL will gently heat up the upper layers of
your skin. The heat absorbed by the targeted areas will
stimulate
your skin cells to generate new collagen. This will
help restore your skin to its natural beauty, blending
its
natural colors and making it smoother, vibrant and
younger looking. In addition the photothermal energy
will target
and eliminate many of the fine vessels that cause
redness and the unwanted melanin responsible for pigmented
lesions.
Typically 2-5 treatments are needed at 2-4 week intervals.
This is a non-invasive and gentle procedure with
virtually no down time. In most cases you will be able
to return
to work, apply makeup and resume most of your activities
right away.
