Laser Genesis Skin Therapy
Laser Genesis is designed to treat all the conditions we associate with premature aging and sun damage. This treatment is able to give you a youthful appearance by utilizes non-invasive laser technology to safely, discretely and effectively treat fine-line wrinkles, dull excessive redness and help manage large pores, uneven skin texture and scars. It is now also proven to produce new collagen. You can expect to see subtle yet consistent results after each treatment, without unwanted side effects such as bruising or excessive skin irritation and downtime. Treatments performed in a relaxed, comfortable manner without the use of topical anaesthetics or gel.
How does it work?
Laser Genesis stimulated collagen regrowth as it gently heats the upper dermis well below the skins surface. Heat is generated in dilated capillaries to disperse redness.
What results can I expect?
Over the course of 4-6 treatments, Laser Genesis can help restore the skin's youthful glow and appearance by smoothing out uneven texture caused by aging, sun damage or scars. You will see a more even, healthy complexion as large pores are reduced in size, and minor imperfections are diminished. While individual treatment results are subtle, the overall effect of multiple treatments can be quite dramatic.
How many treatments should I have?
We recommend a course of treatments. On average 4-6 treatment are required to achieve optimal results. Treatment results are often subtle and become more visible over the treatment course. Every patient's condition and needs vary and this alters the number of treatments required.
What are the side effects?
Although most patients report few if any side effects, the most common is a slight redness that disappears within a few hours of treatment. Consult your healthcare professional for complete information about the benefits and risks of treatment.
LP560 – Skin Rejuvenation
Treatments with the LP560 for skin rejuvenation are an innovative way to quickly, safely and comfortably improve your skin’s texture, tone and color on your face, chest, arms, and hands. Signs of sun damage and age spots will usually flake off after one or two treatments. Signs of sun damage and age spots will usually flake off after one or two treatments, leaving clearer, younger looking skin.
How does it work?
The goal of this treatment is to provide light that is absorbed by the
desired target, pigmentation or capillaries, and converted to heat.
Through proper parameter selection and treatment technique, the intended target structure can be selectively heated without causing unwanted thermal damage to surrounding tissue.
What results can I expect?
Treated lentigines usually darken after treatment, and crusting begins to form within a few days. This crusting usually resolves in 1 to 3 weeks. It should be allowed to naturally flake off for best results.
How many treatments should I have?
The recommended treatment interval is 4 weeks or longer, depending on the rate of clearance. Patients should avoid artificial tanning, or sun exposure without sun protection, between treatments.
What are the side effects?
Localized erythema may also be present and typically resolves within 24 to 48 hours. If a wound develops an antibiotic ointment may be recommended.
Excel – Vein Therapy
No more painful injections! Now men and women alike are making unsightly facial and leg veins a thing of the past, thanks to the Cutera Excel. With the most advanced technology, a unique design, and a longer wavelength, the Cutera Excel can safely and effectively treat both tiny superficial face veins and deeper blue leg veins on men and women of all skin tones. The Cutera Excel combines the ideal laser wavelength with the most flexible parameters to deliver a superior vascular laser system. It treats a broad range of vessels from tiny spider veins to deep blue reticular veins quickly, safely, and effectively. Patients with dark, light or tanned skin can experience outstanding results with minimal bruising or blistering.
How does it work?
The Cutera Excel systems deliver pulses of light energy which cause the blood within the vein to coagulate, eventually destroying the vessel which is later reabsorbed by your body. Blood flow will then be redirected to veins deeper below your skin's surface, where it should be. Most patients experience a stinging sensation as the pulses of energy are delivered through the handpiece. Although no local anesthesia or pain medication is typically required, many patients opt to use a topical anesthetic prior to treatment. Following the treatment, the pain is minimal to nonexistent.
How many treatments will I need?
Often, patients find that one or two treatments are sufficient. However, the number of treatments necessary depends on the number, color, and size of the vessels being treated. Since individual results vary, ask your medical professional about your specific condition.
When will I see results?
Most patients find that the majority of the treated veins have shown significant improvement within two to six weeks of treatment. However, your final result may not be apparent for several months. Over time, it is possible for new veins to appear, but these too can be removed with the Cutera Excel.
What are the side effects?
Although many patients report few if any side effects, those most commonly noticed are slight reddening and local swelling of the skin. These effects typically last for less than 24 hours. Some patients may experience bruising and, in rare instances, blistering may occur. Consult with your medical professional for complete information on the benefits and risks of treatment.
Prowave – Hair removal
No more painful waxing, electrolysis or razors! Thanks to the Cutera ProWave 770™ hair removal system men and women alike are making unwanted facial and body hair a thing of the past. The ProWave hair removal system delivers a specially tailored light source for permanent hair reduction. Cutera's newest hair removal innovation provides treatment for a wide range of skin types. An additional patient benefit is the ability of the handpiece to treat large areas such as women's legs and men's backs - quickly and safely.
How does it work?
When the pulse of light is delivered, some patients experience a mild pinching or stinging sensation. No local anesthesia or pain medication is typically required; however, some patients may prefer to use a topical anesthetic when sensitive areas are treated.
Is it permanent?
Shaving, waxing, and depilatory creams are all temporary methods which must be repeated on a frequent basis. ProWave offers permanent hair reduction for lasting results. Electrolysis is a tedious, invasive, and painful process that involves inserting a needle into each individual hair follicle and delivering an electrical charge to them one at a time. Electrolysis often requires years of treatments at regular intervals. By delivering light energy to hundreds of hair follicles at a time, ProWave effectively treats an area in just seconds that would take over an hour with electrolysis.
What are the side effect?
Although patients experience few side effects, those most commonly noticed are slight reddening and local swelling of the skin, similar to sunburn. These effects typically last for several hours or less. In rare instances, blistering may occur. Consult with your medical professional for complete information on the benefits and risks of treatment.
