Alexandrite Laser
For brown spots and tattoos

The AlexLAZR is a powerful 755nm wavelength Q-switched Alexandrite laser that effectively treats tattoos, brown "liver" spots, and other pigmented skin lesions. This laser is incredibly effective at eradicating unwanted brown spots without damaging any normal surrounding skin.

The Alexandrite laser treats black, blue, dark green tattoo inks and a variety of pigmented lesions. Birthmarks including café-au-lait macules, Becker's nevi, congenital moles (nevi) and Nevi of Ota may be successfully reduced or eliminated with this laser.

The Alexandrite laser has an excellent safety record and a built in cooling system to help alleviate any discomfort during treatment and prevent any adverse skin effects.

Vbeam Perfecta Laser
For redness and capillaries and brown discoloration

The Vbeam laser is considered by many to be the gold standard of treatment for any red, vascular lesions on the face or body. With more than 300+ published clinical papers and 25 years of clinical experience, this pulsed dye laser delivers safe and effective treatments for a variety of common skin conditions including acne rosacea, facial redness with "broken capillaries", hypertrophic scars and keloids, redness of the neck and chest, acne vulgaris, leg veins, port wine stains and hemangiomas (red birthmarks), stretch marks and warts.

The Vbeam's innovation is the fact that the pulse duration of the laser (the amount of time the laser light is shining) may be varied depending upon the condition being treated so as to avoid bruising (purpura) or significant downtime. The patented Dynamic Cooling DeviceTM also helps reduce any discomfort during treatment as a cooling spray is emitted just prior to laser emission directly onto the skin surface.

Smoothbeam Laser
Oil gland removal, acne, wrinkles

The Smoothbeam 1450nm diode laser is one of the first devices developed and marketed specifically to address the root cause of acne - the sebaceous gland. It provides a safe and effective way to reduce or eradicate facial, neck, and back acne by targeting acne at the level of the sebaceous glands. The Smoothbeam laser can also be used to soften depressed acne scars and fine lines and wrinkles around the mouth or eyes.

High Power Pixel Laser
Fractionated laser skin resurfacing

The High Power Pixel 2940 skin resurfacing laser gradually stimulates new cells to replace aged and photodamaged skin with little downtime and virtually pain-free treatment sessions. Most patients undergo two to four treatment sessions at regular intervals for a dramatic reduction in sun damaged and prematurely aged skin.

The gentleness of this procedure allows delicate areas such as the neck, chest and hands to be treated as safely as the face with little risk of adverse effects. There is minimal downtime with this procedure and there is almost no discomfort and no analgesia may be necessary.

Laser 360
For skin texture, tone, and laxity (AFT intense pulsed light)

The AFT IPL (photofacial) device offers complete skin rejuvenation by addressing skin color, fine lines, and skin texture irregularities simultaneously. This device typically has little to no downtime and usually requires two to four treatments, depending upon the condition of the skin, for optimal results. Intense pulsed light is an ideal treatment for patients looking to erase fine lines and skin dyspigmentation and skin color abnormalities that may prematurely age their skin. This IPL device reduces broken blood vessels, brown spots, and tightens pores. It is most commonly used on the face, neck, and chest but may be used virtually anywhere on the body for complete rejuvenation.

Soprano XL Hair Removal Laser
Virtually painless laser hair removal

The Soprano XL is a revolutionary diode laser system developed for virtually painless permanent hair reduction. This laser is truly a remarkable leap in the laser frontier as hair removal can now be performed without any form of anesthesia or topical numbing gel. This laser is safe to use on all skin types - even in those with tanned skin. The patented IN-Motion technology allows for a virtually pain free experience, offering a significant advantage over other laser hair removal devices. This device is also extremely fast with a 12 x 10mm spot size allowing even large areas such as the back or legs to be treated in relatively short periods of time. This relatively pain-free laser hair treatment has been touted as the next generation in laser hair removal due to its comfort and convenience.

Thermage
ThermaCool device

The Thermage system offers a completely non-invasive treatment that provides for deep tissue tightening and contouring of the skin with virtually no downtime. This procedure uses radiofrequency (RF) technology to tighten and gently lift skin to smooth out wrinkles, soften fine lines, and reduce skin laxity. The Thermage treatment is fast, has little to no downtime, and can be performed on patients of all skin types to impart a younger, more youthful appearance overall. Thermage uses the RF technology to tighten existing skin collagen and form new collagen allowing for sagging, wrinkled skin to be replaced with smoother, tighter skin with an improved skin tone and texture. Treatment with the Thermage device involves no surgery, almost no downtime, no anesthesia and no injections.

Photodynamic Therapy with BLU-U
Acne and precancerous lesions (AK's)

The BLU-U Blue Light Photodynamic Therapy Illuminator is a noninvasive and pain-free blue light used to treat mild and moderate inflammatory acne vulgaris. This narrow band blue light causes a photodynamic effect within the oil glands (pilosebaceous units) that kills P. acnes, the primary bacteria responsible for acne.

The 417nm blue light activates photosensitizers within the P. acnes that creates a toxic environment within the sebaceous gland that inhibits the obstruction of the sebaceous follicle and therefore the formation of acne lesions. Treatment is performed weekly or biweekly for 5-10 sessions depending upon the severity of the acne. Maintenance treatments may also be performed after the initial series for maximum benefit. This treatment offers a simple, non-invasive option for patients with acne either as a stand-alone treatment or can be used in conjunction with other adjunctive skin care regimens.

The BLU-U device can be used to treat precancerous lesions, like actinic keratoses (AK's), and some superficial skin cancers, in conjunction with the topical application of a Levulan kerastick. This treatment, known as Photodynamic Therapy, can address not only medical concerns such as the precancerous ot cancerous lesions, but may also improve the texture, tone and color of the skin as well. Often these treatments are combined with either IPL or Vbeam laser treatments to further enhance the final cosmetic appearance of the skin.
