Pixel Laser Resurfacing

Skin resurfacing with the Pixel fractional laser safely and effectively rejuvenates aging and sun-damaged skin on the face, neck, chest, arms and hands with no downtime. Treatment with the Pixel laser improves skin quality and texture, reduces fine lines and wrinkles, and stimulates collagen production for a more youthful appearance that's long-lasting.

The FDA-approved Pixel laser combines the effectiveness of an ablative laser (a laser that removes layers of skin) with the comfort, reduced downtime and lower risk of side effects of a non-ablative laser. How does it do this? The Pixel laser uses fractional resurfacing technology, where the laser beam is split into tiny "pixels" of light. The light converts to heat when it touches the skin, creating a series of micro-injuries that stimulate healing and collagen remodeling while leaving the surrounding tissue intact. The highly accurate and adjustable Pixel laser is able to target the desired treatment area at a precise depth, location and strength.

Treatments are fast and painless, and patients can return to their normal activities immediately. Most patients notice an improvement in skin firmness and tightness after the first Pixel treatment, with results continuing to improve over the course of several sessions.

IPL Photofacial

Photofacial is a non-abrasive and non-invasive rejuvenation of your skin using the remarkable technology of Intense Pulsed Light (IPL). IPL Photofacials can improve the signs of sun damage, rosacea and brown spots on the face, hands and body. It has also been used to reduce the appearance of mild acne scars, dark circles around the eyes and fine lines around the eyes and mouth. The IPL Photofacial handpiece is gently pressed to the skin and pulses of light are emitted. Usually 3-6 treatment sessions lasting about 60 minutes each will provide you with beautiful results.

There is no recuperation time - with an IPL Photofacial you can return to work or resume your normal activities on the same day. You will notice a gradual, natural-looking improvement in your skin with time. IPL is a safe solution tailor-made to your skin type and condition.

GentleMAX® Laser

GentleMAX® by Candela provides fast, safe and effective laser hair removal for patients of all skin types. In addition to hair removal, it can also treat razor bumps (pseudofolliculitis barbae) and ingrown hairs. The advanced alexandrite laser system precisely targets areas of hair growth and delivers narrow-wavelength light to the hair follicles while the surrounding tissue remains untouched. A patented Dynamic Cooling Device (DCD™) keeps the skin comfortably cool during and after treatment, soothing and protecting as the laser energy heats the follicles to reduce hair growth. GentleMAX's DCD and large spot size mean faster treatment times than ever before.

GentleMAX is not only an excellent solution for laser hair removal, it is also highly effective for the reduction of vascular lesions (including sun damage, age spots, freckles, melasma and seborrheic keratoses), pigmented lesions (including hemangiomas and facial veins) and wrinkles. Its versatility, safety and effectiveness make it one of the most popular lasers used today.
