A laser emits a concentrated beam of light at a specific wavelength determined by the material used to produce the laser. The wavelength can be thought of as the "color" of the laser, though some laser light is outside the visible range. The specific color of the laser determines the color of tissue it targets. The types of lasers we use include:
Diode lasers use semiconductor circuits to produce laser energy. Think of it as a ramped-up version of the LED flashlight. We use them for laser hair removal and cellulite treatment. Diode lasers we use include:
An unprecedented innovation in laser technology for hair removal, the Vectus Laser provides our patients with high-volume, permanent hair reduction. It is suitable for a wide range of skin and hair types.
The Skintel™ Melanin Reader is a tool used in conjunction with Vectus™ to accurately measure the melanin (pigment) in your skin. Skintel™ is capable of detecting pigment that may not even be visible yet, providing you with more predictable and precise results than ever before. It is the only FDA-approved melanin reader available today.
With the first FDA-cleared laser for non-invasive fat removal, SculpSure allows our patients to experience the fat reduction they want without the need for surgery or downtime. Sculpsure can reduce unwanted fat cells in the
Aurora is a fast, potent diode laser treatment designed to provide relief for psoriasis, vitiligo, and eczema. The technology behind Aurora was first created by NASA. Now FDA approved, Aurora is a cutting-edge cosmetic treatment with virtually no downtime.
When used for vitiligo, Aurora stimulates damaged melanocytes to restart melanin production. It can also mute the immune system’s attack on other healthy melanocytes. For psoriasis and eczema, Aurora also suppresses the immune system’s response and helps prevent further irritation.
An 800 nm diode laser which targets the pigment in hair follicles. This laser is used to remove excess, unwanted facial and body hair. It is one of the first lasers to achieve long term and permanent hair reduction.
The LightPodNeo Aerolase laser effectively removes acne and acne scars and keeps it from returning. The Aerolase laser aims laser technology into both the outer and inner layers of your skin. As it penetrates the deep layers of your dermis, it helps to combat bacteria and any other infections. It also will help reduce oil, swelling, and inflammation. The Aerolase laser offers the following benefits as well:
The reason that this laser treatment is so effective is because your skin will not only be treated on the surface, but also the internal tissues.
As the bacteria and inflammation of your outer skin decrease, the collagen development will help your internal tissues to become healthier, rejuvenated, and clear.
The Cynergy Multiplex combines the versatile wavelengths of the 595nm pulsed dye laser and the 1064nm Nd:YAG laser in a single unit to treat undesirable vascular malformations and other conditions. It is the first laser device that can produce two wavelengths from the same handpiece sequentially, or produce each wavelength separately.
The first wavelength, usually the 595nm pulsed dye laser, alters the targeted hemoglobin in treated vessels to methemoglobin, which is more susceptible to treatment with 1064nm wavelength. The synchronized pulses of each laser allow for reduced energies to be delivered, which should minimize side effects such as bruising, swelling, and pain. The pulse timing in the Multiplex mode can also be altered depending on the depth of the lesion.
The sequential pulses are delivered more rapidly for more superficial vascular lesions and with much longer delay for deeper lesions to prevent overheating. This revolutionary laser efficiently treats a complete range of vascular lesions including broken blood vessels, rosacea, port-wine stains, spider veins on the face and trunk, and leg veins.
The Affinity QS 532 is an Nd:YAG laser that treats red-colored tattoos and epidermal pigmented lesions such as solar lentigines.
The Affnity 1064 is an Nd:YAG laser that treats darker tattoos and epidermal pigmented lesions such as Nevus of Ota.
The 40 watt Smartlipo Nd:YAG laser provides our patients with three unique wavelengths for optimal fat elimination: 1064 nm, 1320 nm, and 1440 nm. This procedure, which is known as laser-assisted lipolysis, is minimally invasive with minimal downtime performed under local anesthesia. Compared to traditional liposuction there is less bleeding, swelling and bruising with a much faster recovery and the added benefit of skin tightening.
Cynosure's revolutionary Smartlipo Laser Body Sculpting system is now even more exact thanks to SmartSense – an intelligent handpiece delivery system for Smartlipo that distributes precise energy for optimal results. The SmartSense delivery system contains an advanced microchip called the Accelerometer, which is inserted into the intelligent handpiece. Based on the setting chosen by the physician (high, medium, or low) and the motion of the intelligent handpiece, precise laser power is metered and delivered to the tissues increasing both the safety and effectiveness of the treatment.
Attack cellulite at its structure! A minimally invasive treatment, Cellulaze delivers long-lasting results in one treatment. During the procedure, a small specially designed cannula delivers energy just below the skin to enhance the quality of your skin and release the fibrous bands that pull your skin into those unwanted cellulite dimples.
For treatment of leg veins and larger vascular treatment, we offer patients the advanced technology of the Harmony LP YAG. Deep leg veins and vascular legions are often treated most effectively with a long-pulsed LP YAG laser, such as the Harmony.
The Harmony Q-Switch YAG laser offers our patients the ability to treat a broad range of tattoo colors for removal with two discrete wavelengths:
Tattoo removal generally requires six to eight treatments for best results.
Revlite lasers use synthetic Revlite as the lasing medium. They are very useful in laser tattoo removal because they can target green ink, and can be used to treat dermal pigmented lesions and sun or age spots.
A high-powered state-of-the-art Q switched 755nm Revlite laser with unparalleled power and precision that can treat a spectrum of benign epidermal and dermal pigmented lesions as well as multicolored tattoos including green which cannot be treated by other lasers.
For the newest technology for fast and effective tattoo removal and pigment treatments, we offer the Picosure laser. Using ultra short pulses, the Picosure allows for a precise and intense treatment that requires fewer treatments for patients and more satisfying results.
A combination laser using 755 nm and a high powered 1064 nm infrared light that targets pigmented and vascular lesions. This laser is used to remove unwanted facial and body hair, sunspots, birthmarks, and spider veins.
The Apogee Elite 1064nm Nd:YAG is the safest laser for hair removal on individuals who have dark brown or black skin or individuals who are tanned. It can also be used to treat facial veins and leg veins. The Apogee Elite 755nm Revlite laser is ideal for removing facial and body hair on individuals whose skin type varies between very light to olive and light brown.
The Fractional CO2 Laser is a state-of-the-art, noninvasive skin rejuvenation treatment that provides beautiful results with minimal downtime or discomfort. The fractional laser is so named because it treats only a fraction of the skin in the treatment area. This means healthy skin in the treatment area can assist in faster healing times. The fractional laser is safe and effective for all skin types and is particularly effective for treating acne scars, surgical scars and burn scars in addition to resurfacing skin for the treatment of wrinkles and sun damage. There is also less downtime associated with a Fractional CO2 laser versus a traditional CO2 laser.
With SmartSkin, our patients receive a highly customized and cost-effective skin resurfacing treatment. You can expect to achieve a more even skin tone, a smoother skin texture, and a marked reduction in the appearance of wrinkles.
The SmartXide DOT (Dermal Optical Thermolysis) laser is a state of the art skin resurfacing treatment for the face, neck, arms, hands, or legs. It is an effective treatment for sun damage, wrinkles, acne, and scars. The unique capability of the SmartXide DOT to selectively control the spacing of the treatment area allows targeted treatment of sensitive areas, such as around the eyes and mouth.
