Photo Rejuvenation IPL Lumenis ONE™
The most recent non-ablative advanced technology is now available.
An intense pulsed light (IPL) provides gradual improvement of skin
imperfections from Sun Damage and Physiologic Aging.
This new IPL Lumenis ONE™ allows us to rejuvenate
the irreparable ravages of time without the slightest interruption
of one's daily activities. (www.lumenis.com)
| IPL Lumenis ONE™ treatments
are beneficial in the following conditions: |
- Improve aged skin: fine wrinkling, actinic brown spots
and irregular pigmentation of the face, as well as of neck,
chest, hands and forearms.
- Improve facial redness, red streak and blotches (broken
veins and capillaries).
- Reduce the overall symptoms of Rosacea: Episodes of flushing
and capillary facial dilatation (telangiectasia).

Five sessions of treatment are usually required because changes
are progressive and cumulative. Procedures are repeated at three
week intervals.
The IPL light energy does not affect the superficial epidermis.
It penetrates down to the upper part of the skin, creating a
slight inflammation of the papillary dermis, thus stimulating
tissue growth by production of new collagen.
As a sub-epidermal procedure the IPL treatment produces minimal
side effects and requires little to no recuperation time.
Please take note that Microdermabrasion, Thermalift, Profile/ThermaScan™
and GentleWaves® LED are also a natural
complement to PhotoFacial IPL rejuvenation.
It is the only non-invasive method to tighten the skin.
The ThermaCool is a device that uses radio frequency technology
(RF) to allow tightening of the skin without cutting, stitching,
bruising or down time.
The RF energy uniformly heats the dermis (deeper skin layer), that
which allows gradual skin tightening to lift sagging eyebrows, jaw
lines, cheeks and neck.
The Thermalift treatment also stimulates new collagen production
that can improve skin tone and texture over a 4 to 6 month period.
However, this procedure will not replace the results of a surgical
face-lift.
During a treatment, each time a pulse is delivered, there is an
immediate cool sensation, followed by a brief hot sensation and
followed by another cool sensation.
Thermal collagen changes can last several years, depending on the
rate of the aging process.
| The next frontier
in anti-aging medicine: GentleWaves® |
LED Photomodulation® FDA approved 5-January 2005
For the non-invasive treatment of peri-orbital (eye area) wrinkles
and rhytids.
GentleWaves® Light Emitting Diode(LED) is a natural non-thermal
process to improve the appearance of aging and sun-damaged skin
without tissue injury or discomfort: no redness no peeling. LED
lights show a unique ability to stimulate and/or inhibit cell signaling
pathways for skin rejuvenation.
A patient simply sits with his/her face exposed to two panels
of over 2,000 yellow cascading LED lights for less than one minute.
The device can also be adjusted to treat the neck and chest areas.
Two weekly treatment sessions for a total of 10 sessions are required
to achieve proper results.
GentleWaves® LED Photomodulation® is a fundamentally new approach
to improving photoaging and environmentally damaged skin that does
not rely on high-energy sources and heat damage to photoactivate
fibroblasts to produce new collagen ," said Robert A. Weiss,
MD, associate professor of dermatology at Johns Hopkins University
School of Medicine in Baltimore, Maryland. "For
the first time, we are both slowing down collagen breakdown and
building up new collagen with no pain, no redness and no side effects."
