Photorejuvenation or IPL facial (skin rejuvenation) is a procedure that uses a laser or intense pulsed light system to treat blemishes, rosacea, redness/facial veins, pore size and sun damage/sun spots. In addition to softening the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. IPL is a light source attracted to pigmented lesions (pigment/melanin) and vascular lesions (hemoglobin) and improves the skin by working beneath the epidermis to increase collagen and tighten the skin. We use a laser from Cartessa called the Quanta Evo Light.

This newly designed laser light removes sun spots, brown spots, red spots, vessels and redness on the face/neck/chest. It’s a very rejuvenating procedure- evens your skin tone and stimulates collagen with heat while also killing bacteria. It can be done every month until desired results are achieved but most clients will need 1-4 treatments with yearly maintenance after that. The standard is 3-4 treatments being recommended to achieve optimal results spaced 3-4 weeks apart. No tanning or sunless tanner for 2-4 weeks prior to treatment..

The IPL/Laser selectively targets pigmentation without causing damage to the surrounding areas. The light is absorbed by the pigment in the lesion which in turn will get darker 2-3 days post treatment, then appear like fine coffee grounds or dirt specks on the skin. Let these flake off naturally over 7-10 days. Make-up can be applied to camouflage them. When they come off on their own, the natural skin tone remains. 1-3 treatments recommended to achieve optimal results spaced 3-4 weeks apart

Patients experience mild discomfort through the procedure. After the treatment you may experience a tingly, itching for 24-48 hours. The skin may appear blotchy or red during this time as well. Avoid direct sun exposure and wear a thin coat of sunscreen when outdoors. The best part is no down time! You can return to work or your scheduled activity immediately after having a treatment.

Laser hair removal is performed by selectively treating the hair follicle without causing thermal damage to the surrounding tissue. Laser light is absorbed by melanin which is the target in hair. The light is converted to heat and then the heat damages the bulge and bulb disabling the hair structure. We use the Quanta Evo light laser for hair removal. 

Hair has 3 growing cycles: Anagen, Catagen, and Telogen. Laser hair removal is most effective in Anagen phase (the active growth phase) because the hair then contains an abundance of melanin and cells are rapidly dividing. Thus a series is recommended of 6-10 treatments spaced 4-8 weeks with the average of 6 weeks apart to ensure targeting the follicles in their Anagen growth phase. Patients needs to be clean shaven for treatment the day before treatment. No waxing 2-4 weeks before treatment and no waxing once treatments are started. No tanning or sunless tanner for 2 weeks before treatment.

Hair must be brown or black. Laser light is not absorbed by white, gray, red, or light-blond hair. It is safe for all skin types.

Using a small device, our skincare experts create micro-channels with minute needles, leaving normal skin intact. This allows for extremely rapid healing with slight irritation of the skin. New skin is then able to come to the surface, leaving behind more youthful, glowingskin. When you introduce PRP (platelet rich plasma) into the skin it will only intensify the body’s own repair process and stimulate new collagen and elastin.

Patients will experience a bit of redness and mild bruising or road rash after a microneedling treatment, but that will only last a few hours to a couple of days. By the next couple days your skin will be back to normal, and after a few days you’ll notice your skin start to shine and by 2 weeks you’ll be glowing and have tighter, plumper skin. The skin’s overall appearance will see improvement with this procedure and there is minimal downtime! 3 treatments recommended to achieve optimal results spaced 4-12 weeks apart. Great for scars, acne scars, pore-size, lines/wrinkles, overall facial rejuvenation, collagen stimulation, texture and tone.

We use a 1064 nanometer laser from Cartessa, the Quanta Evo light laser. It is safe for all skin types even tanned skin. There is no downtime. It stimulates collagen by building heat in the lower layers of the skin. This tightens and plumps up your skin and decreases fine lines and wrinkles. It also helps reduce pore size. It works best if done every 2-4 weeks for 6 treatments.

(leg and Facial, Spiderveins, telangiectasia etc.)

We use a 1064 nanometer laser from Cartessa called the Quanta Evo light laser. The laser will heat the unwanted vessels and seal them shut- then the body reabsorbs them. NO tanning or sunless tanner for 2-4 weeks prior to treatment. Patients should wear “ted hose” or tight stocking for 1-2 week post treatment. No running or doing any weight bearing exercises for 1 week post treatment.
