Laser Treatments

The Skin Revitalizing Center uses the Cutera laser system. CUTERA devices address a wide range of Face + Body medical aesthetic applications. Laser treatments utilize a high-energy light source to target a specific type of tissue. The light is absorbed and converted into heat, inactivating or destroying the targeted cells without having a significant impact on surrounding cells. Laser treatments can help patients achieve optimal results for a variety of cosmetic needs from hair removal and skin rejuvenation to the treatment of acne and spider veins.

Laser Treatments Offered:

Radio-Frequency (RF) Microneedling:

Powered by the Cutera Secret Pro, this treatment produces radio frequency energy via small microneedles that penetrate the sin. This is indicated for anti-aging, stretch marks, large pores, texture irregularities and skin quality concerns. A series of 3 treatments is recommended for optimal results.

CO2 Fractional Resurfacing

Through the Cutera Secret Pro, this versatile treatment can be performed as a light laser peel to prevent the signs of aging and to address current skin concerns such as complexion quality and dull skin tone. It can also be performed as an advanced fractional resurfacing treatment to address more significant signs of aging  while boosting collagen production. RF Microneedling and CO2 Fractional Resurfacing may be combined for an intense skin renewal treatment. A series of 3 treatments is recomended for optimal results.

Enlighten Tattoo

We now offer tattoo removal using the Enlighten™ laser system. Enlighten™ is the most advanced laser system for the effective and safe removal of tattoos and benign pigmented lesions. De-inking has progressed from a so-so, time-consuming process to a much faster, safe and effective method. Finally, that unforgettable tattoo can become forgotten with the most advanced laser tattoo removal technology available on the market— Enlighten™.

Enlighten™ features extremely short and high power picosecond laser pulses which efficiently and quickly break down the ink particles in tattoos. Picosecond laser pulses have been shown to remove tattoos more completely and in fewer treatment sessions than traditional lasers.

Spot Removal

The latest aesthetic treatment to improve the appearance of sun spots and age spots. This treatment is ideal for the face, hands as well as other areas of the body with noticeable signs of sun damage and excess pigment.

PICO Genesis

PICO Genesis laser procedure takes an entirely new approach to the treatment of pigmentation issues and skin revitalization. This method combines the benefits of two highly effective wavelengths in ultra-short pulses to shatter unwanted pigment and remodel the upper layer of the skin to return balance, clearance and radiance to your skin.

Originally developed for tattoo removal, picosecond lasers are now being used for a variety of conditions, including skin toning, reducing hyperpigmentation, and building collagen. With virtually no downtime.

Limelight (IPL)

The Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) procedure is a pulsed light system that is exceptionally effective for treating skin redness (known as rosacea), brown spots, and sun damage at a very comfortable energy level. Almost any part of the body with uneven skin tone, diffuse redness, or sun and age spots can be safely treated.

Laser Hair Reduction

Laser Hair Reduction is a permanent, safe, and effective procedure for hair reduction. Recent advances in laser hair reduction technology now make it possible to permanently reduce unwanted body hair, quickly and efficiently, with proven long-term results. Laser hair reduction can be used on arms, legs, face, underarm, bikini area, and other areas.

Coolglide Vein Therapy

The Coolglide® Vein Therapy treats a broad range of vessels from tiny spider veins to deep blue reticular veins quickly, safely and effectively. The Coolglide® system delivers pulses of light energy which cause the blood within the vein to coagulate. Coagulation eventually destroys the vessel which is later reabsorbed by your body. Veins in all areas of the body can be treated. Blood blisters and angiomas respond very well with just one treatment.

Laser Genesis

The Laser Genesis procedure utilizes non-invasive laser technology to safely, discreetly and effectively treat fine lines and wrinkles, large pores, uneven skin texture, and diffuse redness and scars. Patients report excellent results over their entire face and neck.

By gently heating the upper dermis well below your skin’s surface, Laser Genesis stimulates collagen regrowth. Additional heat is generated in dilated capillaries to reduce redness.

Cosmetic Injectables

Facial fillers and injectables are a proven method typically used in the correction of lines and wrinkles, restoring volume and fullness to the skin. Depending on your specific issue or desired outcome, we can use one or a combination of the following to develop a customized treatment for you.

JUVÉDERM® ULTRA XC is used to plump and fill lips. Whether you’ve noticed your lips thinning over time, or simply want fuller lips, JUVÉDERM® Ultra XC can give you natural-looking results that last – up to a year.

JUVÉDERM® ULTRA PLUS XC corrects moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds, such as the parentheses lines or “smile/laugh lines” around the nose and mouth, also known as nasolabial folds. JUVÉDERM® ULTRA PLUS XC is injected into areas of facial tissue where moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds occur to temporarily add volume to the skin, which may give the appearance of a smoother surface.

BOTOX® COSMETIC is a prescription medicine that is injected into muscles and used to temporarily improve the look of both moderate to severe crow’s feet lines and frown lines between the eyebrows in adults. BOTOX® Cosmetic targets one of the underlying causes of frown lines and crow’s feet—the repeated muscle contractions from frowning and squinting over the years. Your specialist will inject these muscles with BOTOX® Cosmetic to temporarily reduce muscle activity. You will begin to notice a visible smoothing of your crow’s feet lines and frown lines between your brows.

SCLEROTHERAPY is a simple procedure in which highly concentrated saline solution is injected into each spider vein causing them to collapse and fade from view. Usually two anesthesia-free sessions are required with veins appearing lighter after each session.

DYSPORT® is a prescription injection for temporary improvement in the look of moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows—without changing the look or movement of the rest of your face. DYSPORT® temporarily treats moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows by reducing specific muscle activity. Wrinkles are caused by repeated movements and muscle contractions. One injection into each of the 5 points between and above the eyebrows temporarily prevents muscle contractions that cause frown lines.

SkinPen

SkinPen is a microneedling skin treatment designed to stimulate your skin’s natural ability to repair itself. It is the safest, most effective vertical microneedling device available.

Cutting Edge, Anti-Aging Treatments

SkinPen state-of-the-art, anti-aging treatment technology is designed to stimulate your skin’s natural ability to repair itself. SkinPen delivers hundreds of micro-injuries to initiate the body’s wound healing process.  The body begins to break down damaged tissue and produce healthy new cells.  These cells repair and remodel the injured tissue, producing organized, healthy dermal tissue such as collagen and elastin – producing excellent skin rejuvenation results with little or no downtime.

Advanced Vertical Microneedling Technology: The SkinPen Difference

As the safest, most effective, vertical microneedling device on the anti-aging treatment market, SkinPen is different from traditional microneedling dermarollers that can bend, break or even rust, resulting in possible infection or scarring with reuse.

SkinPen uses adjustable length, disposable straight needles to penetrate at a 90-degree angle. This adjustability allows for differences in skin thickness and skin types. The vertical technology allows for extra precision and enables the device to be used anywhere on the body, even close to the eyes.

The SkinPen Advantage:

  1. Minimally invasive
  2. Non-ablative with no thermal energy required
  3. Performed in office with little or no downtime
  4. Superior safety profile and works on all skin types
  5. Treats fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, hyperpigmentation, stretch marks and many other skin texture conditions
  6. Can be used on all parts of the body including face, neck, décolletage, arms, hands, legs, abdomen and back. This versatility makes SkinPen especially helpful when addressing acne scars on the back and stretch marks on the body.

Microdermabrasion

Microdermabrasion is a non-invasive, skin resurfacing procedure that gently exfoliates the skin with natural diamond chips while at the same time vacuuming away dead skin cells.  Microdermabrasion stimulates collagen growth, leaving behind skin that is renewed, refreshed and youthful. Microdermabrasions are recommended once a month because  your skin rejuvenates and this helps get rid of dead skin cells.

Microdermabrasions offer these benefits:

  • Increases absorption and effectiveness of moisturizers, creams and lotions
  • Exfoliates dead skin cells
  • Gets rid of blackheads
  • Softens fine lines and wrinkles
  • Helps with oily skin, acne scarring and acne breakouts
  • Gives your skin a healthy glow

The Diamond Glow (formerly Silk Peel Dermalinfusion)

The Diamond Glow, formally known as the Silk Peel Dermalinfusion, is  a patented, non-invasive 3-in-1 treatment that simultaneously exfoliates, extracts and infuses the skin with condition specific serums for an all-inclusive treatment. This treatment can help to improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, enlarged pores, acne prone skin, and hyperpigmentation with no discomfort or downtime, leaving the skin with a healthy natural glow.

Diamond Glow is a part of Alle, a free program which lets you earn points that can be used towards certain products or procedures for discounts.

Dermaplaning

Dermaplaning is a safe and highly effective physical exfoliation procedure aiding in better product penetration. It requires the use of a sterile, surgical scalpel to gently “shave” the skin’s surface, removing the top-most layer of dead skin along with fine, vellus hair leaving the skin smooth and vibrant. With regular treatments you will see a reduction of fine lines, wrinkles, sun spots and acne scars. Dermaplaning services can be performed every 3 to 4 weeks.

Ask about our enhanced dermaplaning treatments.

Chemical Peels

Chemical Peels are a quick and convenient way to soften and enhance skin’s appearance, help your products work better because there are no dead cells impeding their penetration and increase collagen with little or no downtime. Chemical peels have been used for decades to revitalize and resurface skin.  They involve applying a chemical  solution to remove the damaged top layer of the skin.

There are different types of chemical peels, which fall into gentle/superficial, moderate, or aggressive/deep categories. We will examine your skin and discuss what you wish to accomplish. Based on the condition of your skin and the issues to be addressed, we will choose the correct chemical peel formula for you.  If your skin is very sensitive or you have never had a chemical peel before, a gentle or superficial peel will probably be suggested. If you have significant hyperpigmentation or scars, a deeper peel may be the best option for maximum benefit.

You may require a regimen of a few peels over a period of 3-6 months in order to achieve the results you want.

Chemical Peel Treatments:

PCA Peels:

Level 1: PCA Skin Customized Chemical Peel

Level 2: PCA Skin Customized Peel with Pre-Treatment

Level 3: PCA Skin Advanced Customized Peel with Retinol Booster
