The ICON 1540, a fractional non-ablative laser, can promote skin tightening, reduce wrinkles, and clear unwanted pigment with little pain and no down time. The technique is based on fractionation of the laser beam. Instead of a solid laser beam treating the surface of your skin, the ICON fractional laser divides the laser energy into an array of microbeams. 

These microbeams create microcolumns of treated skin; instead of resurfacing a large continuous layer, 1000 tiny treatment zones per centimeter are created. Surrounding each of the treatment microcolumns, untreated skin is present that allows the treated skin to heal faster with little discomfort and fewer unwanted side effects. 

The laser microbeams penetrate the skin and stimulate cells to produce more collagen and beneficial skin growth factors. In this way the skin is rejuvenated, pigment spots resolve, and collagen production is stimulated in the lower layers of your skin. The effect of the treatment is to plump and remodel the sagging skin, reduce wrinkles, pore size and pigment changes Tightening of the jaw line and neck can also be accomplished. The ICON laser is also used to treat acne scars, stretch marks as well as the loose skin of your upper arm, abdomen, buttocks and thighs.

The best results are attained with 6 treatments which are spaced about one month apart. Results will be apparent after the first three or four treatments and become more noticeable about a month after the treatment program is completed. Collagen remodeling and consequent skin tightening as well as skin rejuvenation continues for several years after the series of 6 treatments.

Facial veins or broken capillaries are treated with laser therapy, such as ND Yag and IPL (Intense Pulsed Light.) These treatments are very effective in treating unsightly broken and dilated vessels as well as other unwanted vascular lesions, such as spider veins or the redness from rosacea.

Facial veins, usually spider veins, appear as connected lines resembling a sunburst or spider web pattern or as short, unconnected lines. Sometimes you may think of them as broken capillaries or blood vessels.

These lasers work by emitting a specialized light that passes through the skin and is preferentially absorbed by its target, in this case, the unsightly blood vessels on your face. The laser causes the facial veins to coagulate and fade away. Lasers are very direct and accurate. 

Tattoo Removal

PicoSure is the ONLY advanced tattoo removal laser with PressureWave technology, which works with your body to remove unwanted ink.

PicoSure delivers laser energy that specifically targets tattoo ink, resulting in the successful shattering of just the ink particles without harming the surrounding tissue. These pulses are so rapid they cause a change in pressure that breaks ink apart into tiny dust-like particles. These tiny particles are then absorbed by the lymphatic system, a critical part of your body’s immune system, and eliminated naturally. 

After treatment, most patients experience only 1-3 hours of minor swelling and redness. Because PicoSure doesn’t burn and damage the surface of the skin, make-up, moisturizes and sun screens may be applied immediately following treatment.

 PicoSure works effectively on:

• Multicolored tattoos, including blues and greens
• Hard-to-remove black ink
• Stubborn, previously treated tattoos

Laser Skin Rejuvenation

PicoSure skin rejuvenation revitalizes skin faster than ever before, with minimal to no downtime. FDA Approved for skin treatment, PicoSure activates your body’s natural skin cell processes for healthy, more youthful-looking skin. This treatment lightens unwanted pigment AND stimulates the production of new collagen and elastin—keys to younger-looking skin—without the pain or downtime of some other laser treatments. Afterwards, most patients experience only 1-3 hours of minor swelling and redness.

Which concerns can PicoSure® treat?

• Brown spots
• Sun damage
• Freckles
• Pigmented lesions
• Melasma
• Wrinkles and fine lines
• Acne scars
• Stretch marks

The Fraxel Dual laser has the capability of using two fractional technology lasers (two wavelengths) to safely target and improve damaged skin.  Both laser wavelengths can be used to treat signs of aging, such as lines and wrinkles, tone, texture, and discoloration. In addition, one Fraxel laser wavelength, the 1550nm, is often used to improve scars and stretch marks while the other wavelength, the 1927nm, is excellent for treating sunspots and melasma.

The Fraxel treats a fraction of the tissue at a time, leaving the surrounding tissue intact for more rapid recovery. It targets damaged skin with microscopic laser columns that deeply penetrate into the skin. This allows for rapid healing by stimulating your body’s own natural healing process, replacing the old damaged cells with fresh, glowing, healthy skin. Your skin will feel softer, look brighter and show more even skin tone.

Fraxel lasers treat women and men of all ages and skin colors.  The laser treatment also works on skin areas other than the face like the neck, chest, flanks, and abdomen.

The number of treatments you will need depends on your goals and desired outcome as well as your lifestyle. Typically, patients receive their desired outcome in 3-6 treatments. The results are both immediate and progressive.  Soon after treatment, the surface of your skin will feel softer, look brighter and show more tone. The next 3-6 months will bring further improvement as the deeper layers of the skin continue to heal.  Results can last for years depending on your skin condition.

Benefits of Fraxel Dual laser treatments include:

• Reduced fine lines and wrinkles on the face, neck, and around the eyes.
• Improved skin tone and texture.
• Reduction of unwanted brown spots.
• Lightening of melasma.
• Smoother, fresher, younger looking skin.
• Improvement of stretch marks and scars.

The ThreeForMe laser treatment addresses common skin concerns such as wrinkles, sun damage and facial veins. All within one procedure. You attain the best results possible with little down time so you can maintain your busy schedule. 

The ThreeForMe treatment is exclusively performed using Cynosure’s Icon™ technology. This technology has been optimized for providing the best results on all three skin conditions with minimal social downtime.
Each treatment is performed in two steps that can be referred to as “passes.”

• The first pass will use an Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) technology to treat discoloration for a more even-looking appearance. This includes sun-damage such as freckles, brown spots, or age spots. This pass also addresses unwanted facial veins including broken blood vessels, spider veins and rosacea.
  
• The second pass will use a “microbeam” fractional laser technology that will gently renew the skin for a smoother-looking appearance. This unique technology works by stimulating new collagen and elastin production – the keys to the support structure of our skin. Improved skin structure results in the reduction of fine lines, wrinkles, scars and other surface imperfections.

Advanced Acne Treatment

• Kill bacteria
• Safe for all skin types
• Lighten acne induced pigment 
• Reduce skin oil production
• Smooth rough skin and reduce pore size

Lasers produce light based energy that can kill the bacteria that are responsible for acne lesions. The bacteria in your skin are sensitive to certain types of light. The lasers we use both reduce existing lesions and prevent future breakouts. In addition, a series of laser treatments helps reduce excess oil and sebum production from the sebaceous glands. Post acne hyperpigmentation of the skin and some types of acne scars are also helped with laser therapy. Your skin will look smoother and less discolored. 

Most people see clearing, although not 100%. Laser treatments can be an effective part of an overall acne treatment plan. We will discuss with you a comprehensive program which includes the use of different types of lasers and light therapies to treat acne. 

Clear and Briliant/Permea is a gentle treatment that uses fractional laser technology to address and prevent the early signs of aging skin. Clear and Brilliant works by creating millions of microscopic treatment zones in the upper layers of the skin, which replaces damaged skin with healthy tissue and yields younger looking skin.

The results of Clear + Brilliant are both immediate and progressive. Within a week or two after treatment, your skin will start to feel softer, look brighter and show more even tone. Results can last for months depending on age, skin condition, and how you protect your skin.

A series of 4-6 treatments is usually recommended for best results. After a series, most patients experience:

• Visibly illuminated skin tone
• Renewed, ultra-soft and smoother texture
• Improved tone, texture and radiance
• Reduction in the appearance of pores
• Naturally radiant and glowing skin
• Lightens stubborn melasma

Photo facials are a non-invasive cosmetic treatment that treat damaged cells deep witin the skins layers. It is high intensity, broad spectrum light. The energy of specific wavelengths is absorbed by the skins

Through a series of IPL treatments, it is possible to correct a variety of skin condition such as:

• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Age/Brown/Sun spots and melasma
• Surgical and acne scars
• Broken blood vessels and spider veins
• Fine lines and wrinkles

The specific energy of an of Intense Pulsed Light wavelength is absorbed by the areas of skin discolored by pigment and blood vessels. These targeted areas absorb the light energy and the pigment and blood vessels are destroyed. The body then clears the problem areas that have been treated. Your skin returns to a more uniform color throughout, resulting in a more youthful appearance.

Photo facials take less than an hour and there is minimal discomfort. A series of 3-6 treatments is needed for best results.
