Patients can enjoy a radiant and renewed look with minimum downtime and side effects.
The M22 IPL™ photofacial treatment targets brown and red pigment in the skin. They can also target the bacteria that causes acne, reducing its severity, along with stimulating collagen production, to help firm skin and reduce the look of fine lines and wrinkles.
The Lumenis ResurFX™ treatment is a fractional skin rejuvenation solution that addresses the early signs of aging, helps even out hyperpigmentation (like sun spots or melasma), smooth wrinkles, and fade stretch marks and mild acne scars.
The AviClear™ Laser is indicated for the treatment of mild to severe inflammatory acne vulgaris. It utilize 1726 nm wavelength to selectively targets this exact frequency to damage the sebocytes and down-regulate sebum production which eliminate acnes at its source.
The HydraFacial is the FDA-approved hydradermabrasion procedure that combines cleansing, exfoliation, extraction, hydration and antioxidant protection simultaneously, resulting in clearer, more beautiful skin with little-to-no downtime. The treatment is soothing, moisturizing, non-invasive and generally non-irritating. As with most procedures, visible results from HydraFacial will vary from person to person.
The VI Peels/PCA Peels treatments can be used to diminish the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, improve texture/tone, reduce pore size, increase hydration and moisture retention, give skin a smoother appearance and diminish the appearance of hyperpigmentation. Layers of product are applied based on your unique skin composition and needs.
The LaseMD Ultra™ Skin Resurfacing is the “true Thulium” laser for skin revitalization. The laser creates tiny “microchannels” in the skin which increases the absorption of compounds. It helps rebuild glowing and healthy skin, reduce appearance of pore size and enhance brightness, in addition, the laser energy stimulates dermal repair, promote healing, regeneration, and collagen formation to give the entire surface a healthy and beautifully noticeable radiance.
The Secret™ RF’s Microneedling treatment deliver energy at various depths in the epidermis and dermis to induce collagen regeneration while sparing the skin’s surface. Secret RF can be used to improve your skin quality by reducing signs of photo aging and photo damage, fine lines and wrinkles, stretchmarks and scars/acne scars. Unlike other devices which only deposit energy on the surface of the skin, Secret RF delivers energy below the surface where it's needed most to help revitalize and regenerate the skin. This unique delivery of energy allows us to achieve the optimum results with little to no downtime on all skin types.
The Clarity II™ Laser Genesis delivering a therapeutic dose of energy from the laser, the upper dermis (middle layer of the skin) receives enough heat to stimulate the growth of collagen, elastin, and new skin cells. To diminish redness; reduce rosacea, inflamed acnes, smooth texture and reduce pore size, the laser targets small facial capillaries within the target layers of skin. The thermal coagulation and vaporization (ablation) of the affected tissue that results, along with collagen production, are the key changes that restore the structural balance within the skin so that a youthful glow may be achieved after a series of sessions.
The Hollywood Spectra Laser toning is a fast and comfortable treatment that uses a Q-switched Nd:YAG laser energy in ultra-short pulses to target and break down pigmentation, acne scars and other skin imperfections without damaging the surrounding tissue. The advantage of a Hollywood Spectra peel in comparison to other treatments is the minimal downtime. With minimal side effects, most people have the treatment over lunchtime or just before a special event.
The purpose of the above mentioned procedures is to improve the appearance of photo-aged skin by clearing the superficial pigmented and vascular lesions, promoting collagen growth and thus improving the skin texture. However, the degree of improvement and the number of sessions required vary in clients with variables such as age, condition of your skin, sun damage, smoking, skin care products, climate, life-style, and general health, you acknowledge that there are no guarantees, warranties or assurances that you will be satisfied with your results. 2.

3. Risks and Side Effects:
• Discomfort: Mild to moderate discomfort is typical during treatment. If a patient reports severe discomfort, the treatment should be paused, and the settings verified and/or adjusted accordingly. • Erythema and edema: Mild to significant erythema (redness) and mild to moderate edema (swelling) developing during and immediately after treatment are expected. Mild erythema typically resolves within 30 minutes to several hours, significant erythema and edema may take up to 1 week to subside; Application of cold packs immediately after treatment may reduce the severity and duration of both. • Transient acne flareups: Mild flareups of inflammatory acne lesions are common after acne treatment. If acne flareups occur, they typically maximize 2 to 5 days after treatment and resolve over 2 to 3 weeks ; however, acne flareups can continue at perceptible levels for several more weeks. • Temporary skin dryness: Temporary mild skin dryness is common after skin resurfacing treatment. If skin dryness occurs, it is normally noticed 1-5 days after treatment and typically resolves in 1 to 2 weeks with application of topical skin moisturizers (e.g., CeraVe®, Cetaphil®); however, it can persist up to 4 weeks. • Crusting/scabbing:Mild crusting or scabbing may occur during healing process. If crusting/scabbing occurs, the crusts/scabs should be allowed to naturally slough, without picking, to minimize the likelihood of skin pigmentation changes or infection. • Blisters: Mild to moderate blisters are very rare. If blisters do develop, care should be taken not to disturb or unroof the blisters to prevent oozing and possible infection. Oozing from blisters that are disturbed or unroofed lasting more than a day should be evaluated by the treating practitioner.
• Hyperpigmentation: Darkening of the skin (hyperpigmentation) can occur as a result of inflammation during the recovery period. If it occurs, it may last for one to several months before normal pigmentation levels return. Hyperpigmentation is very rarely permanent. Your treating practitioner may recommend topical skin-lightening products to accelerate the return to normal pigmentation levels. • Skin texture changes: Transient texture changes are rare and usually resolve with time. • Infection: Despite good wound care, pain, swelling, oozing, and fever can indicate the development of an infection. This is rare though it can occur. Topical and/or oral antibiotics may be necessary. • Scarring: Scarring is a rare occurrence, but it is a possibility whenever the skin's surface is disrupted. To minimize the chances of scarring, it is important that patients follow all post-treatment instructions provided by their health care provider. Good post-treatment care will help reduce the possibility of scarring. • Hypopigmentation: Lightening or loss of skin pigment (hypopigmentation) is very rare. Transient hypopigmentation lasting several weeks has been reported following crusting/scabbing. Permanent hypopigmentation has not been reported; however, it is a possible adverse event, especially in patients with a history of vitiligo or pigmentary disorders.
• Bruising: broken capillary blood vessels may lead to transient “mini-bruising”. Sun avoidance is essential in that case
