Phototherapy makes use of BBL or BroadBand Light, innovative light-based technology that allows clinicians to gently and precisely treat skin conditions such as acne, sunspots, age spots, uneven skin texture, and unwanted hair. Phototherapy also reduces unwanted melanin that produces pigmented lesions, and eliminates small blood vessels that cause redness. Skin is restored to its natural beauty, making it appear vibrant and smooth. Treatments can be tailored to match an individual’s desired results and skin type. Popular treatment areas are those exposed to sunlight, such as the face, neck, shoulders, chest, and back of the hands.
A MicroLaserPeel is a quick, effective procedure that utilizes a special laser to treat conditions on the skin’s topmost layer. The removal of a thin layer of old, damaged skin is a safe and easy way to improve skin texture and overall appearance, as superficial skin resurfacing can be administered with precision of depth. As the treated skin heals, new and healthy cells grow and resurface. MicroLaserPeel can treat conditions such as scars, freckles, mild wrinkles, keratosis, and pigment irregularities. Most skin areas can be treated, and commonly treated areas are the face, neck, hands, and chest.
ProFractional Therapy, also known as “fractionated” laser resurfacing, is a quick, comfortable, and safe laser procedure that treats only a specific area of skin per session. Although ProFractional Therapy penetrates deep into the skin, there is very little heat damage to untreated tissue in surrounding areas, thus promoting rapid healing and creating collagen that adds resilience and firmness to the skin. Fractional therapy improves the skin’s overall appearance, and can be customized to specific skin conditions. This procedure is ideal for all skin types. Popular treatment areas include the face, neck, hands, and chest. Profractional downtime can be up to five days depending on the level of treatment. It can be tailored for less downtime.
SkinTyte is a non-invasive skin firming treatment that uses pulsed light technology to deeply heat the skin while protecting and cooling the entire surface being treated. The procedure reduces the appearance of sagging and loose skin over a short period of time, and the end result is firmer and more youthful looking skin. SkinTyte is recommended for individuals who desire a noticeable improvement on their skin without having to undergo surgery. Any area of the body where skin firmness is desired can be treated, such as the face, neck, arms, abdomen, and thighs.
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.
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.
