IPL Treatment
For Vessels, Rosacea, Dark Spot Elimination
One of the most popular laser treatments is the IPL PhotoFacial. Often called a “magic eraser”, IPL eliminates vessels, rosacea, sunspots, age spots, freckles, and also stimulates collagen. The light energy delivered by the laser gently heats the upper layers of the skin. The heat absorbed by the targeted areas stimulates the skin cells. This process helps restore the skin to its natural stage. In addition, the photothermal energy targets and eliminates many of the broken capillaries that cause redness and the unwanted melanin responsible for pigmented lesions. Patients will also see improving texture, tone and appearance to the skin due to the collagen rebuilding over time.
Downtime – Short term side effects are reddening of the skin, temporary bruising and edema after treatment. Temporary discoloration will occur for 3-4 days after the procedure and will flake off slowly. Even with sunscreen, prolonged exposure to sunlight is not recommended.
Spider Vein Removal
Simple laser vein treatment is done on the outside of your skin. Multiple treatments are needed for optimal results. Lasers allow for quick treatment of vascular lesions without damaging the surrounding skin. Light is absorbed by the blood, destroying the vessel. Over time, the vessel disappears, restoring the skin’s natural appearance.
Some lasers treat all types of vascular lesions, including facial and leg telangiectasias, spider veins, hemangiomas, mature and blebbed port-wine stains, and rosacea. Comfortably clears a variety of leg vessels, from the smaller red vessels to the larger blue reticular leg veins. Multiple treatments are needed for optimal results.
Downtime – No exercise and compression stockings needed during treatment period.
1540 Fractional Treatment
For Fine line / Wrinkle Reduction
The Fractional Treatment is a non-ablative, laser for treatment of fine lines and wrinkles. This laser delivers light to the skin through an array of high precision micro-beams that penetrate the skin deep into the dermis. This creates narrow, deep columns of skin coagulation, surrounded by healthy, untreated skin. This causes the skin to repair itself by replacing old, sun damaged skin with new, younger, healthier skin. Using the “1540” laser handpiece, fractionated light is delivered which makes treatments are safer and produce consistent results. Following the treatment, patients see their fine lines start to smooth as collagen is being naturally rebuilt.
Downtime – 1 day of downtime. May see some redness and imprinting in the skin. No makeup for 24 hours. No retinols or exfoliants for 7 days. Even with sunscreen, prolonged exposure to sunlight is not recommended.
Fractional Treatment
For Stretch Mark/Scar Reduction
Stretch marks are a common problem, especially among women. Stretch marks are caused by damage to the dermis of your skin and while they do not present a medical concern, their appearance makes many people feel self-conscious and embarrassed. Laser treatments have been proven effective for eliminating stretch marks. The technology works by stimulating fibroblasts to promote the synthesis of new collagen. New collagen is built lessening the appearance and helping the texture of stretch marks.
Downtime – No downtime. Patient can return to daily activities immediately after treatment.
Hair Loss Therapy
While mostly men are known to experience hair loss, 1 in 4 women experience it, as well. Anyone with thinning hair can have their appearance and self esteem dramatically effected.

2. Cell Growth – improve cell proliferation
3. Protein Growth – increase protein synthesis
4. Circulation – increased circulation by 54% within one treatment
5. Capillaries – increased size of capillaries under hair follicle
