WRINKLE REDUCTION AND ACNE SCAR IMPROVEMENT

WRINKLE REDUCTION AND ACNE SCAR IMPROVEMENT

We are using the newest fractional technology to significantly reduce the appearance of wrinkles and acne scarring. The Palomar 1540 fractional technology produces thousands of tiny but deep columns of treatmens in your skin, known as microthermal treatment zones. This is done with limited discomfort to the patient as the Palomar 1540 utilizes patented cooling. Just as important as the treated areas are the areas of skin that are left untouched. The fractional treatment allows the skin to heal much faster than if the entire area was treated at once, using the body's natural healing process to create new, healthy tissue. For a limited time we are offering a special promotion utilizing the fractional technology!

We are now offering skin tightening with minimal discomfort. Introducing the LUXIR laser that sends infrared light pulses deep into the dermis, where it creates a carefully controlled area of elevated temperature. This technology has been shown to trigger a biological response which leads to collagen remodeling in the deep dermis. Remodeled collagen can smooth out fine wrinkles and tighten sagging skin.

What is the Blue Light Treatment?
The Blue Light Treatment offers effective, non-invasive and pain-free treatment for moderate acne vulgaris (a.k.a. acne), a condition affecting millions of adults, teens and children.

The Blue Light Treatment is not a laser.  It emits safe, cool visible blue light to provide an effective solution for improvement of acne.

How does the Levulan® PDT System work?
The first step is to have a Levulan® Kerastick® topical solution applied to the acne and the individual Actinic Keratoses on the skin.  This solution makes the acne or Actinic Keratoses more sensitive to light, which prepares the skin for the second step in the process.

After leaving the topical solution on the skin for 45-60 minutes, therapy continues with a Blue Light Treatment.  A Blue Light Treatment session lasts 4-8 minutes and can cause minimal discomfort because of the nature of the Levulan® Kerastick® topical solution.  This discomfort usually improves immediately after treatment and ends within 24 hours.

After treatment is completed, almost all patients experience some temporary reddening and some patients experience minimal swelling of the acne, Actinic Keratoses and the surrounding skin.  Generally all reddening is gone by 1 week after treatment and swelling is reduced or non-existent after 1-2 days.
