Photofacial

Photofacial is a non-abrasive and non-invasive rejuvenation of your skin using the remarkable technology of Intense Pulsed Light (IPL). IPL Photofacials can improve the signs of sun damage, rosacea and brown spots on the face, hands and body. It has also been used to reduce the appearance of mild acne scars, dark circles around the eyes and fine lines around the eyes and mouth.

The IPL Photofacial handpiece is gently pressed to the skin and painless pulses of light are emitted. Usually 4-6 treatment sessions lasting about 20 minutes each will provide you with beautiful results.

There is no recuperation time – with an IPL Photofacial you can return to work or resume your normal activities on the same day. You will notice a gradual, natural-looking improvement in your skin with time. IPL is a safe solution tailor-made to your skin type and condition.

Pearl™ Laser

Laser skin resurfacing with Pearl™ is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure used to reduce the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, sun damage and other skin irregularities.  It offers patients many advantages over traditional resurfacing procedures such as chemical peels and microdermabrasion, as it practically eliminates side effects such as discomfort, bleeding and bruising.

Although laser skin resurfacing using the same basic principles of other procedures and treats aging, damaged skin by removing a layer of skin, it does so through a noninvasive procedure that uses laser energy to remove as much skin as needed.  This allows for a much deeper removal through more precise and less invasive techniques.

Laser skin resurfacing with Pearl can be used to treat:

Titan Treatment^®

The Titan Treatment^® is a safe, non-surgical procedure that uses an infrared light source to tighten skin and reverse the signs of aging. The Titan device uniformly distributes heat below the skin, causing collagen contraction, while preserving the outer layer of skin through continuous cooling. This process stimulates long-term collagen rebuilding, leaving patients with younger-looking skin. The procedure tones, lifts and tightens skin on the face and neck and can be used to treat lax, loose or wrinkled skin throughout the body—including the abdomen, thighs and arms. The result is a more youthful, fresh complexion and long-lasting, tighter skin without injections, surgery or recovery time.

The Titan is cleared for treatment of wrinkles in Europe and for general dermatologic use in Canada. In the US, it is cleared for topical heating to increase local tissue temperature and circulation. An additional 510(k) clearance is pending in the US for the treatment of wrinkles.

Laser Genesis

Laser Genesis skin therapy for men and women offers a new and advanced way to treat fine lines and wrinkles, redness, large pores, uneven texture and other signs of premature aging and sun damage. With just a few treatments involving no downtime, Laser Genesis can leave you looking younger and more refreshed.

Developed by Cutera^®, the manufacturers of the CoolGlide and Titan lasers, the Laser Genesis treatment works by gently heating the skin. This has the dual benefit of stimulating collagen production and shrinking the swollen capillaries that produce facial redness. Subtle improvements are usually visible immediately, although four to six treatments are recommended for the best outcome.
