Laser Treatments
Laser Age Spot/Sun Spot Removal
You can reverse the signs of sun damage and aging with cosmetic laser treatment. The laser penetrates the skin to destroy the underlying pigment and vessels that are the cause of the problem while leaving the outer layer of the skin undamaged. Collagen production is stimulated in the process to tighten surrounding tissue and improve the skin’s overall texture and appearance. The procedure involves very minimal discomfort and you will be able to return to your normal activities immediately.
Laser Skin Resurfacing
Laser skin resurfacing, commonly called a laser peel, removes the outer, damaged layer of skin to reveal a smoother, younger look. Laser resurfacing can reduce the appearance of sun damage, wrinkles, fine lines, uneven pigmentation and superficial scarring. A laser beam of precisely focused light vaporizes the surface skin and reveals the undamaged layer beneath. Procedure time varies depending on the size and condition of the area being treated.
Laser skin resurfacing is commonly performed with either a carbon dioxide (CO2) or an erbium laser. Although the process for these procedures is very similar, the erbium laser is typically used to treat deeper lines and wrinkles within the face, hands, neck and chest. It is also better for darker skin tones.
Laser Skin Tightening
Whether for hygienic or cosmetic reasons, women and men who are tired of temporary, often painful methods of removing unwanted hair on the face, back, legs or other body areas may welcome laser hair removal with relief.
Lasers produce highly focused, intense beams of light. Dark pigments in the hair follicles beneath the skin’s surface absorb this light and convert it to heat, destroying the follicles and preventing hair growth for up to two years.

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.
Laser For Vascular Lesions
Vascular lesions are abnormally tangled veins or arteries. They can be treated with a special laser, which is absorbed by the blood while leaving surrounding tissue intact. Laser treatment effectively cauterizes the affected vessel and resolves the lesion.

Cynosure Cellulaze
Finally, our dreams have come true! Now we can get rid of your cellulite for good!!*
The Cellulaze Laser reduces the appearance of cellulite in just one treatment.
Cellulite is not a fat problem. Women of all shapes and sizes suffer from this unsightly dimpling of the skin. No matter how many pounds you lose or how often you exercise, cellulite can still be a problem. Cellulite is a structural problem below the surface of the skin created by brittle structural bands that pull down creating dimpling and puckering. Diet and exercise cannot address the fibrous bands that pull down on the skin causing the dimpled appearance of cellulite.
Cellulaze is a unique treatment that uses laser energy to disrupt the trapped pockets of fat and release the fibrous band that pull down on the skin. The laser energy stimulates collagen growth that creates thicker, more elastic, healthier skin. Cellulaze treatment does not require you to be put to sleep. The treatment is performed under local anesthesia with a very small cannula (a tube that is about the size of the tip of a pen) that is inserted underneath the skin. The laser fiber inside the tube delivers energy directly under the skin. This increases the depth and quality of your skin while releasing the fibrous bands that cause the orange peel look of cellulite. The laser is then used to diminish the lumpy pockets of fat the puff up through the fibrous bands under the skin.
There is minimal discomfort during the procedure. Most patients describe a feeling of light pressure or nothing at all. After the treatment, you can experience some soreness. Almost all patients can return to work the very next day. Results are visible right away with optimal results in 3 to 6 months.* Only one treatment is needed. The results of the treatment are long lasting with maintenance of a normal healthy diet and exercise regimen.
* Individual results may vary.
Cynosure Smartlipo TripleX
The Cynosure Smartlipo Triplex laser is the newest generation of laser lipolysis (fat destruction) device that combines 3 lasers into 1 device and into 1 treatment.
1064 nm Smartlipo Wavelength offers increased efficiency of minimizing bleeding while destroying unwanted fat cells
1320 nm Smartlipo Wavelength offers optimal skin tightening while destroying unwanted fat cells
1440 nm Smartlipo Wavelength offers 40 times greater absoprtion and destruction of unwanted fat cells
While previous technology only incorporated one wavelength for good results the new Smartlipo Triplex offers three combined wavelengths for optimal results in the removal of unwanted fat and skin tightening in one procedure while the patient is still awake.
This minimally invasive procedure is performed in office under light sedation with local anesthesia eliminating the risks associated with being put to sleep with general anesthesia for an elective, cosmetic procedure. Small incisions are made 1 to 2 small incision holes about the size of the tip of a pen are made in the treatment areas to insert the laser for treatment. The suction device to remove the lasered fat is inserted through the same holes so scarring is minimal. The procedure may take 1 to 2 hours depending on the size of the treatment area. Patients return to work in 2 days and can resume exercise in 10 to 14 days. Results are seen within one week and continue to improve over 3 to 6 months.* Smartlipo Triplex is the ideal system for safe and effective fat removal and body sculpting with optimal results.
* Individual results may vary.
