Active FX Skin Resurfacing
Active FX by Lumenis combines the precision of a CO2 laser with the speed of fractional resurfacing technology to provide unprecedented facial rejuvenation. Taking years off lined and sun-damaged skin like a nonsurgical facelift, Active FX achieves immediate, dramatic results that can last for years. It works on multiple levels simultaneously:
- Tightens skin
- Reduces fine lines and wrinkles
- Smoothes frown lines
- Improves skin tone and texture
- Reveals fresh skin beneath the aged surface
- Stimulates collagen growth for a youthful fullness
Active FX requires less downtime than other laser facial rejuvenation procedures, with most patients returning to work in a few days. The procedure typically causes no discomfort beyond a sensation of warmth like a mild sunburn.

LightSheer™ Hair Removal
Made by Lumenis™, the LightSheer™ diode laser is considered the industry “gold standard” in achieving permanent hair reduction. The LightSheer laser works on a range of hair colors and all skin types and has been proven to improve the appearance of razor bumps, benign pigmented lesions, sun damage and superficial leg veins in addition to removing hair. An innovative cooling device on the end of the laser wand soothes the skin after each pulse of light, ensuring that treatment is nearly pain-free.

Photorejuvenation Intense Pulsed Light (IPL)
As the population ages, ever-increasing numbers of people are interested in improving their appearance. IPL technology can be used to help restore the skin's youthful appearance.
IPL technology improves the appearance of photoaged skin, removes age spots (sun-induced freckles), most benign brown pigment, and redness caused by broken capillaries through a process called photorejuvenation for face and body. The process is ideal for patients with active lifestyles because the procedure requires no downtime and has a low risk of side effects.
The gentle, non-ablative treatments use broad spectrum light to treat the face, chest, neck and hands—virtually anywhere that sun damage shows.

Photodynamic Therapy (PDT)
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is used to treat precancerous lesions (actinic keratoses). Actinic keratoses are rough, scaly patches on the skin, caused by excessive exposure to the sun, that can sometimes progress into dangerous skin cancers.
Levulan® Kersatick® (aminolevulinic acid) is part of a unique photodynamic therapy (PDT) system to treat actinic keratoses. The medicine is applied to the skin and left on for 60 minutes. The patient is then treated with intense pulsed light to activate the medication. This light then destroys the targeted areas.
Mild to moderate redness can be expected and the patient is instructed to stay indoors for 30 hours after the treatment.
In addition to treating actinic keratoses, the procedure helps eliminate brown spots, broken capillaries and improve skin tone and texture.

Full, natural-looking eyelashes can now be achieved through a prescription treatment called Latisse®. Latisse is the first and only eyelash treatment approved by the FDA to help grow longer, fuller and darker eyelashes and treat hypotrichosis, a condition that includes having inadequate or not enough eyelashes.
Latisse contains bimatoprost, an active ingredient that improves the appearance of your lashes and is often found in glaucoma medication. While the precise science of the treatment is not known, research suggests that the number of hairs and duration of the growth process are increased by bimatoprost.
This prescription medication is applied topically to the base of the eyelashes once a day, after makeup and contact lenses have been removed and any other skincare products have already been applied. While it does not replace mascara, Latisse offers an attractive complement to help further enhance full, long and beautiful lashes.
