CO2RE offers treatments that help improve skin tone and texture, minimizing fine lines and sun damage in addition to reducing scarring left by acne or past surgeries. Skin rejuvenation treatments are quick and involve little to no downtime. C02 Ablative Laser Skin Rejuvenation and Scar Softening CO2 laser skin treatment is meant to improve the appearance and texture of a patient’s skin by removing layers where scar tissue is most apparent. Downtime is minimal and full results typically show in as little as three to 10 days. C02RE Intima for Vaginal Rejuvenation CO2RE Intima laser treatment utilizes laser energy to treat areas without the use of hormones, which can have unintended effects on sensitive areas. With this technology, the CO2RE Intima can stimulate soft-tissue growth along the vaginal wall, activating the production of collagen and thus revitalizing the skin. The minimally invasive treatment is equally as minimal in pain and discomfort.

PicoWay employs the use of ultrashort pulses from a high power laser to treat acne scars, wrinkles, dark spots, and can also remove unwanted tattoos. The process utilizes the advanced physics of photoacoustics which prevents skin from overheating. Patients who receive PicoWay laser treatments require little to no downtime following the procedure. Wrinkles and fine lines occur naturally as collagen and elastin production in the skin decreases. PicoWay Resolve has been proven to stimulate these key proteins non-invasively through extremely short laser pulses below the surface of the skin without affecting the outer layer of skin. Acne Scars . Another problem related to the loss of collagen is acne scarring. Through short, focused lasers that reach deep below the skin’s surface, PicoWay Resolve can activate collagen and elastin production to aid in the reduction of visible acne scars. In fact, clinical studies have demonstrated that 94% of areas treated with this technique showed improvement. Dark Spots . Skin discoloration can be embarrassing and negatively impact an individual’s quality of life, but we’re happy to say that it’s completely treatable. Dark spots or benign pigmented lesions like freckles or other imperfections can appear on anyone and any area of the skin. While some of these spots are often connected to excessive sun exposure, others can be influenced by hormone changes such as during pregnancy. Picoway laser treatment can break down the pigment so pigment may be absorbed. Tattoo Removal . PicoWay’s high-powered laser pulses can break through tattoo ink while still leaving the outer layer of skin unaffected. This treatment method works across a wide spectrum of tattoo colors as well as skin types.

Q: Nordlys – Multi-Application Laser Device

IPL Laser Treatment for Sunspots Over time, excessive sun exposure to our faces and body can hasten and further develop signs of aging in our skin. Fortunately, with the Nordlys Ellipse IPL laser skin treatment, you can rejuvenate your skin for a more youthful appearance. Ellipse IPL (intense pulsed light) uses revolutionary laser technology to treat a variety of issues such as sunspots, uneven pigmentation, and excessive redness. By targeting specific blood vessels or areas of the skin, controlled bursts of light work to minimize discoloration and reduce the effects of sun damage. Nd:YAG Laser for Vascular Lesion Treatment Vascular lesions are a group of small blood vessels that are packed together within or below the skin. These lesions can develop anywhere on the body as a result of sun damage, rosacea, or aging, and can appear in many forms. Nd:YAG laser procedures treat these vessels deep under the skin through energy pulses that only target the specified areas, leaving the surrounding tissues virtually unaffected. (The name is simply an acronym for the crystal used in the technology, neodymium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet.) Frax 1550 One of the most highly sought after treatments in the nation, Frax 1550 rejuvenates the skin through the use of short, controlled bursts of energy. The heat from the laser activates collagen growth, which aids in producing more youthful skin over time. The process allows for independent control of every factor in the treatment, from the pulse time and energy level to the width and depth of the target area. This allows patients to receive a highly specific treatment that won’t affect surrounding tissues. Because this form of treatment doesn’t impact the surface of the skin, recovery tends to be speedy.

It’s not a long process but please note that each individual’s hair removal procedure will vary in length as the time required depends on the size of the area being treated. Treatments can last as little as a few minutes to just over an hour.

Q: Who is a Candidate for Liposuction?

While liposuction does effectively slim down parts of a patient’s body, it is not meant to address weight problems or serve as a substitute for exercise and a healthy diet. Rather, ideal candidates for liposuction are those who are at or near their goal weight with specific areas of body fat that have thus far proven immovable. Of course, they must also not have any medical conditions which would contraindicate a procedure.

Q: What Happens During Liposuction?

Regardless of the treated area, liposuction usually involves the same few steps. First, either general or local anesthesia is applied before one or more incisions are made so that patients are comfortable. Fat is then extracted from the marked locations in such a way that the result is both balanced and natural in appearance. Once complete, the incisions are closed. Overall, the entire procedure takes between one and three hours, though the areas the patient selects as well as any other distinctive factors may alter this timeframe.
