Facial Rejuvenation

Photo Rejuvenation IPL Lumenis ONE and BBL Sciton

The most recent non-ablative advanced technology is now available.

An intense pulsed light provides gradual improvement of skin imperfections from Sun Damage and Physiologic Aging.

This new IPL and BBL allow us to rejuvenate the irreparable ravages of time without the slightest interruption of one's daily activities. (www.lumenis.com)

IPL and BBL 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, Accent, SkinTYTE, Affirm, and Profile/ThermaScan™ are also a natural complement to PhotoFacial IPL and BBL rejuvenation.


Thermalift

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.


Accent to tighten skin

ACCENT™ is the ONLY system on the market which provides two types of radiofrequency technology: (RF) UniPolar and BiPolar.

Its gradually heats the dermal and sub-dermal tissue to tighten the skin thus reshaping facial contour: Collagen fibers contract and increase in size and numbers and improve the contour, texture and laxity of the skin. Vascular and lymphatic circulations improve and retained fluids are evacuated from sub-cutaneous adipose tissue to reduce edema, redness and increase volume in general.

SkinTyte to tighten skin

The SkinTyte treatment is based on the principle of selective thermolysis and utilizes Sciton’s BBL™ pulsed light technology. This innovative new technology is used to selectively heat the dermal collagen deep in your skin while simultaneously cooling the epidermis. SkinTyte can be provided quickly and comfortably with no downtime. The end result is a more youthful appearance. The SkinTyte procedure is not a substitute for a face-lift and results may vary from patient to patient. The SkinTyte procedure is recommended for patients who desire moderate, noticeable skin improvement without having to undergo surgery. Full results often take up to four months as the collagen foundation of your skin is rebuilt and strengthened.


Affirm to reduce finelines and superficial wrinkles without downtime

AFFIRM "MICRO-REJUVENATION SYSTEM" is a Nd:YAG FRACTIONAL laser from Cynosure that is used combined with a cooling device to reduce fine lines and superficial wrinkles without pain, without ablation and without downtime.

Portrait to reduce finelines and moderate wrinkling with a short period of downtime

PORTRAIT PSR³ from Rhytec is a unique and efficient procedure that promotes a non-ablative Skin Regeneration. It is an entirely new category of cosmetic treatment that reduces fine lines and middle-size wrinkles. It is a procedure to treat perioral and periorbital wrinkles and at the same time tightens, improves skin tone, skin texture and also improves dyschromia (pigmentation irregularities). However a short period of downtime of 4 to 7 days does exist, the length of which varies according to the treatment intensity.

ProFractional to improve scars and aged and sun damaged skin with a very short period of downtime

PROFRACTIONAL is mainly used for acne and post-traumatic scars, aging and sun-damaged skin. A laser beam creates thousands of micro channels surrounded by normal skin to accelerate the healing process while the treated areas stimulate the production of new collagen. The face, neck, chest and back of hands may be treated. A series of 1 to 4 sessions spaced 3/6 weeks depending on your needs. Minimal inconvenience: mild redness resembling a sunburn. Down-time from one to three days depending on the depth of the treated lesion. Makeup may be applied one or -two days after each session of treatment. This treatment is often combined with a MicroLaserPeel.
