3D Skin Rejuvenation™ from Cutera

Every person ages at a different rate and in different ways. Some develop redness, age or sun spots. Others have large pores, fine lines, wrinkles or lax skin. You may have one, two or all of these conditions. Cutera’s 3D Skin Rejuvenation takes a three-tiered approach to rejuvenating your skin for all of these conditions.

LimeLight Facial and Photo Genesis are light-based procedures which address problems right at the skin’s surface - redness, mottled complexions, freckles and sun damage.

Laser Genesis utilizes a laser to soften fine lines and wrinkles, shrink pores and decrease or eliminate redness found deeper in the epidermis. Laser Genesis has been proven to stimulate the creation of new collagen, giving your face a more youthful appearance.

Titan is the newest category for skin fitness. The Titan uses infrared light to heat tissue in the deep dermis.

Every body type has areas that are predisposed to fat storage and even with rigorous diet and exercise those unwanted bulges often persist. Patented VASER® technology and the advanced LipoSelection® technique now offer a safe alternative for eliminating unwanted fat, revealing a smooth new shape with fast recovery.

What is VASER Lipo? How does it differ from traditional liposuction?

VASER Lipo is an advanced body contouring procedure that selectively removes unwanted body fat.  An alternative to the harsh techniques of traditional liposuction, VASER Lipo uses state-of-the-art ultrasound technology designed to gently reshape your body.  What distinguishes the VASER Lipo procedure is its ability to differentiate targeted fat from other important tissues – such as nerves, blood vessels and connective tissue.  Innovative VASER technology breaks up fat while preserving these other important tissues to promote smooth results and rapid healing.

How does VASER Lipo work?

First, the area to be reshaped is filled with a tumescent saline solution that helps numb the site and shrink the blood vessels (to minimize blood loss and reduce bruising). This solution wets and fills the area to be treated, making it easier to break up fatty tissue with the VASER Lipo System’s ultrasound energy. Then a small probe transmits sound energy to break up (liquefy) fat on contact while preserving other important tissues.  Finally, the liquefied fat is removed through a gentle suction process designed to minimize trauma to surrounding tissue structures such as nerves, blood vessels and other connective tissues.

What body areas can be treated with VASER Lipo?

Doctors have experienced great success in treating all of the following areas: abdomen, thighs, knees, ankles, calves, buttocks, hips, back, arms, male and female breasts, love handles, chin, face and just about any other body part you need treated.

 
 
 
 Collagen Induction Therapy
 
 
The newest innovation for Non-Surgical Skin Rejuvenation!
 
-  Softens fine lines, reduces pore size, Contributes towards skin thickening for firmer, younger, smoother appearance.
-  Reduces the appearance of acne scars and other depressed scars on the face and body; increases elasticity and promotes repigmentation of surgical and burn scars.
-  Improves stretch marks, Smooths cellulite and tightens flabby skin.
 
A CIT can be performed on ALL skin areas of your body. Unlike ablative procedures a CIT can be performed repeatedly.

Depending on your skin condition, and to achieve maximum possible results, we recommend an initial treatment cycle of 3 to 4 treatments. As the new collagen formation needs time to mature, we propose an interval of 6 weeks before the next CIT is commenced. As your skin continues to age an annual refresher CIT should be considered. Between the CITs and after the last one, you can support the results of the CIT by using  the Home Care Dermaroller in combination with high-end peptide serums.

Chemical Peels

     Before ViPeel®, the deeper the peel, the more painful, the more downtime, the better the results. ViPeel® is the first Next Generation Aesthetic. It is painless, yet produces dramatic visible results in just days with little downtime. Thanks to the actions of its many components, (TCA, Salicylic Acid, Phenol,Retinoic Acid, Vitamins and Microelements) it helps erase fine lines and wrinkles, shrink enlarged pores and build collagen and elastin which tighten skin. It is extremely effective in practically eliminating hyper pigmentation including melasma, the most difficult pigmentation issue to address. The ViPeel® also provides excellent results with acne.   With one treatment, clients can see an immediate improvement in their skin; however, a series of treatments is often required to affect the desired skin changes.The same benefits apply to hands. Aftercare treatment and ViDerm® products are included in the price of the peel.              

Ø       Price $250 (Manufacturer's Suggested Retail $300)

Lipodissolve

              Mesotherapy is a series of virtually painless injections into the middle layer of skin (Mesoderm), causing localized fat to break down and improve circulation, lymphatic and venous drainage,  improving  skin integrity.  Mesotherapy with PPC in combination with other ingredients is used for localized lipolysis:  Effective for small localized fat deposits, post-liposuction irregularities and improvements in skin integrity following various surgical cosmetic procedures.  It is used for localized fat and "Cellulite" reduction  in the abdominal area, face, neck, thighs, “Bra-Strap area”, etc. PPC has shown dramatic results when injected into fat pads under eyes to minimize puffiness.  Simple in-office injections of PPC may be as good as lower eye Blepharoplasty for treating herniated infraorbital fat pads. Several treatments (usually 3-6) may be necessary.
