The near-infrared laser light emitted by the system is preferentially absorbed by the pigment located in the hair follicle. The laser is pulsed, or turned on, for only a fraction of a second. The duration of each pulse is just long enough to damage the follicle, while the system’s unique, patented contact-cooling handpiece cools the skin during the laser energy delivery.
Theoretically, damage to the hair follicle can remove unwanted hair permanently, but because of the nature of hair and the many factors that influence the growth of hair, the results are variable. The effect of repeated treatments is cumulative. In fact, most people experience long-term hair removal.

As with any medical treatment, use of the LightSheer Diode System can have some side effects. However, side effects have been minor and manageable in clinical use. The precise laser parameters used for the LightSheer Diode System were carefully defined by studying the anatomy of the hair follicle and precisely matching the color of laser light and the pulse duration to the size, depth, and location of the hair follicle. This research has resulted in a safe technique that effectively eliminates the risk of scarring and substantially reduces most other complications following treatment.
No treatment to remove unwanted hair is completely painless. The LightSheer Diode System is fast which reduces treatment time. It provides long-lasting hair removal, reducing the need for repeated treatment. The cooling lens helps reduce discomfort while protecting the skin surface from thermal injury during delivery of the laser light. If large or sensitive areas with unwanted hair are to be treated, a topical anesthetic cream may be applied to the site to further reduce discomfort.
Immediately after treatment, the site will be somewhat swollen, appear slightly red in color, and will feel like a mild sunburn. This reaction subsides over a few hours, and then the treated sites usually return to their normal appearance. The amount of discomfort after this procedure is usually minimal and does not limit most normal physical activities. Since light is used to remove the hair, there is no bleeding and no open wound is created. For this reason, there is no need to apply a bandage and wound care is generally not required.
Each pulse of laser energy from the LightSheer Diode System will treat a square area of skin of approximately half an inch (12mm). For this reason, the amount of time required depends on the size of the area requiring treatment. For example, the upper lip and bikini line may require only 5-15 minutes of treatment. While a longer period of time will be required to treat the back or legs.
BBL light energy absorbs targets such as fine, broken vessels, rosacea and brown spots that are caused by an overproduction of melanin.
An active tan from the sun or tanning beds is not appropriate with a BBL treatment.
It is recommended that a person does not have sun exposure in the area being treated for three weeks prior to the treatment with BBL. Self tanners must be faded from the skin for at least a week to 10 days before treatment.
The number of treatments vary from each individual. We often combine other procedures to to further enhance the outcome.
Your eyes will be covered by safety shields or glasses. You may briefly feel a “rubber band snap” sensation as the light is absorbed by the targeted area.
This is a noninvasive and gentle procedure with virtually no downtime. In most cases, you are able to return to work, apply makeup and resume activities immediately.
There is slight discomfort when injecting anything into the body, whether it is an immunization or cosmetic filler or neurotoxin. We may use numbing creams or apply cold compresses to relieve any discomfort.
There is no downtime after fillers or neurotoxin injections.
Neuromuscular disruptors such as Botox and Dysport take 3-7 days for the body to fully absorb the injection to see results.
Neuromuscular disruptors such as Botox and Dysport last roughly 4-6 months. Each body absorbs and processes injectables differently.
Your experienced injector will recommend the best treatment for your concerns. Generally, Dysport may be the better choice if you need quicker results, are treating larger areas, desire a more natural appearance, have developed resistance to Botox, or prefer a treatment that allows for some muscle movement.
Your experienced injector will recommend the best treatment for your concerns. Generally, Botox may be the better choice if you have small, specific areas you want to target, such as crow’s feet or fine lines on the forehead, Botox’s higher molecular weight can help keep the treatment more localized, preventing it from affecting nearby muscles. If you have used Botox before and were satisfied with the results, it might be best to stick with what you know works for your body.
Filler results are immediate. There will be some redness and swelling. It is advisable to refrain from wearing makeup, excessive exercise, sun exposure, and unnecessary lotions and creams for 24 hours.
Different fillers will interact with different peoples bodies. You can expect your fillers to generally last 6-9 months.
Your aesthetician or injector will know which type of filler is best for your specific skin and aesthetic concerns. The differences may include where you wish to have fillers, for instance you may need a thicker filler for a specific area. Your experienced, trusted Christina Clinc injector will know which will work best for you.
Geneo brings your a three-step innovative facial that can be customized to your skin. The three steps include 1) a gentle exfoliatation to create a CO2-rich environment on the skin’s surface. The body responds by sending a surge of oxygen to the skin, which creates ideal conditions to nourish and transform the skin from the inside out. 2) Lite Ultrasound creates micro vibrations that instantly smooth the skin and increase the permeability of the skin’s protective layer, enabling better nutrient absorption. 3) The last step is a relaxing hands-free lymphatic massage delivering instant reduction of redness and puffiness while infusing active ingredients even deeper into the skin.

Microneedling is a minimally-invasive cosmetic procedure that involves using tiny needles to puncture the skin and stimulate collagen production. The process creates tiny, invisible puncture wounds in the topmost layer of the skin, which then helps to stimulate and boost collagen and elastin production. As a result, skin appears firmer, smoother, and more youthful-looking. Microneedling can be used to improve the appearance of wrinkles, acne scars, stretch marks, and hyperpigmentation. It can also be used for skin rejuvenation to improve the texture of aging skin. The procedure can be done on almost any area of the body, including the face, neck, chest, and hands. Your skin will need a few days to a week to completely heal post-treatment and may experience light peeling during the healing process. Additionally, it is important to follow post-treatment instructions, such as applying provided serums and avoiding sun exposure.

The CoolSculpting® procedure shapes what you see without surgery or downtime, so you’ll look great from every angle
The CoolSculpting® Elite technology safely delivers precisely controlled cooling to gently and effectively target the fat cells underneath the skin while leaving the skin itself unaffected. The treated fat cells are crystallized (frozen), then die. Over time, your body naturally processes the fat and eliminates these dead cells, leaving a more sculpted you.
CoolSculpting requires no surgery, no anesthesia, no downtime. Afterwards, patients are usually able to return to normal activities.
The CoolSculpting procedure is non-surgical, safe, effective, and best of all, the results are long-term.
During your treatment, a gel pad and applicator are applied to the targeted area. Applicators that use vacuum will draw the tissue into the applicator cup. You may feel pulling, tugging, and mild pinching. Controlled cooling is then delivered to the targeted fat so you may feel intense cold but this sensation typically subsides within 10 minutes as the area becomes numb. Many people read, check email or even take a nap during their sessions.
Once the treated fat cells are crystallized (frozen), the body naturally processes the fat and eliminates these dead cells. Once the treated fat cells are gone, they’re gone for good.
While some patients may see results as early as 3 weeks after their session, most dramatic results are usually seen 1-3 months after treatment.
CoolSculpting® technology uses controlled cooling to target and kill only the targeted fat cells. CoolSculpting results are long-term, as treated fat cells are gone for good.
Yes! The CoolSculpting procedure has a 95% patient satisfaction rate. Your provider will help you create an individualized treatment plan tailored to your specific goals.
ProFractional Therapy is a quick and effective laser procedure with little downtime, used for improving the overall appearance of your skin. The procedure is performed in your health care provider’s office and can be custom tailored to address a wide range of skin conditions and desired outcomes.
ProFractional is a laser made by Sciton that uses a tiny beam to treat thousands of pinpoint areas of your skin. The laser used in this system has a very high attraction to the water in your skin. When the laser energy is applied, it ablates (vaporizes) a layer of skin to a precisely-controlled depth. Because only a fraction of your skin is directly treated with the laser, the surrounding untreated tissue promotes rapid healing. This body’s wound healing response creates new collagen, which adds firmness and resilience to the skin.
ProFractional has the unique ability to penetrate very deep into the skin, but with very little heat damage to surrounding tissue. This combination allows for efficacious collagen remodeling (due to the deep treatments) and a high safety margin (due to low thermal damage) on all skin types. This combination makes ProFractional one of the safest, yet most effective resurfacing lasers available today.
Most skin areas can be treated. Popular treatment areas are the face and neck, although many people also treat the chest and hands. Your health care provider can adjust the laser settings appropriately for the specific area being treated.
The skin in the treatment area will be cleansed and your eyes will be protected with safety shields. A laser hand-piece will be positioned gently on the skin. When the laser energy is applied, you will hear a rapid succession of snapping sounds as the computer-guided hand-piece scans the laser beam over the treatment area. The hand-piece will be moved around to adjacent locations until the entire desired area has been covered. The procedure normally takes 15 to 30 minutes.
ProFractional therapy is widely regarded as a comfortable procedure, usually tolerated with the use of a topical numbing cream or a local anesthetic, depending on the depth of treatment.
Immediately following the procedure you may experience mild redness and a sensation resembling sunburn. Your health care provider will advise you on specific after-treatment care recommendations, which may include analgesics and application of an ointment to keep the skin moist.
You may be given skin care products and instructions on how to use them. Your skin will be sensitive to ultra-violet light after the procedure, so you must avoid direct sun exposure until fully healed. It is recommended that you always use sun block to avoid solar damage and premature aging of your skin.
Complete healing typically occurs within a few days and most patients usually feel comfortable enough to get back to normal activities and apply makeup a day or two after the treatment. There may be some swelling that will subside within several days following the treatment.
As your skin heals in the days following your treatment, you may notice a general tightening effect. However, the true benefit of ProFractional is the collagen remodeling that occurs during the 4 to 6 months following your treatment. It may therefore take several months to see maximum benefit from your treatment.
ProFractional Therapy is widely regarded as a safe procedure. Because only a fraction of the skin is affected, even deep treatments can be very safe. Your health care provider can provide more information on the risks associated with any type of medical procedure, including ProFractional Therapy. One of the best ways to reduce the possibility of complications is to follow the after-treatment care instructions and follow-up schedule provided by your health care provider. Doing so will help reduce the possibility of infection and ensure proper healing.
Excellent results can be obtained in just one treatment, though the number of treatments may vary from patient to patient. Some patients seek the minimal downtime advantages of very conservative treatments and choose to extend their therapy over several sessions. Others desire more rapid results and are able to tolerate longer downtime, and thus pursue a more aggressive single treatment. Your health care provider can personalize a plan based on your specific needs and may choose to combine ProFractional Therapy with other aesthetic procedures to further personalize your treatment.
