Laser/IPL

PicoSure® is a skin laser designed to treat various signs of aging and to remove tattoos. However, there are several things that make this device different from other lasers on the market.

​

PicoSure works two ways. As an ultra-fast laser, it’s able to break up pigmented areas of skin. Then the discolored areas disappear as the destroyed pieces are naturally eliminated by your body. The laser operates at a wavelength that’s only absorbed by pigmented skin, so it doesn’t harm surrounding tissues.

PressureWave technology reaches below the skin to deeper layers, where it creates gentle pressure that stimulates the body’s normal healing response. During healing, new collagen and elastin are produced, which grow up through the skin to reach the surface.

As fresh collagen and elastin replace old cells on your skin’s surface, your skin becomes stronger and more pliable. Ultimately, you gain a revitalized appearance.

The Icon™ MaxG IPL technology is used for skin revitalization. Unlike lasers, this technology uses multiple wavelengths of light with special filters to treat specific aesthetic conditions. During the treatment, specialized pulses of light are delivered into the skin, targeting brown spots, sun damage, and vessels without damaging the surrounding skin. The energy is absorbed by the targets, which will slowly disappear through the body's natural healing process.

The Max G IPL specifically targets the red and brown pigments in the skin, which can be associated with stretch marks. The treatment is safe and effective for most skin types, and most patients require a series of treatments to achieve optimal results.

Fractional laser treatment refers to a method where a laser is used to target small columns of the skin, while leaving the surrounding skin intact. By doing so, the skin can heal itself by replacing old and damaged skin with newer and healthier skin, resulting in improved texture and tightness.

The Cynosure ICON 1540 Fractional laser is a powerful treatment that can be used on both light and dark skin types to effectively reduce sun damage, freckles, brown spots, broken capillaries, acne scars, and enlarged pores. This treatment requires only 20 to 30 minutes per session and is typically done in a series of 3 to 5 treatments, spaced 3 to 4 weeks apart. After the treatment, the skin may be slightly pink and swollen for the first 24 hours, but patients can return to their normal activities immediately. It is important to minimize sun exposure in the week following treatment and to always wear sunblock. Over a period of 6 months, patients will see a progressive improvement in fine lines, wrinkles, and scarring. The ICON 1540 Fractional Laser delivers excellent results with minimal downtime and is suitable for all skin types.

The CO2 Fractional resurfacing laser is carbon dioxide laser which precisely removes deep outer layers of damaged skin and stimulates the regeneration of healthy skin underneath. The CO2 treats fine to moderately deep wrinkles, photo damage, scarring, skin tone, texture, crepiness and laxity.
