The Affirm™ and Affirm Multiplex™ are the latest in minimal downtime laser treatments for skin tightening, acne scars, pigment removal and reduction of fine lines and wrinkles. The Affirm is selected for smoothing skin and evening of skin color, or the Affirm Multiplex can be selected for those patients desiring additional skin tightening in a non-invasive, “zero down time” treatment. The Affirm and Affirm Multiplex lasers are safe for all patients regardless of their skin type.
The Affirm™ and the Affirm Multiplex™ utilize fractional resurfacing technology, where only a small fraction of the skin receives the laser light during a treatment. Patients receive, on average, 3-5 treatments spaced 3 weeks apart. Each of these painless treatments delivers a series of microscopic laser spots, while simultaneously preserving areas of unaffected, healthy skin. The healthy cells in the untouched spots promote rapid healing of the entire area, resulting in faster recovery time and minimal side effects. After each treatment, patients show a mild amount of redness for 24-48hrs that is easily covered with makeup. The result is softer, smoother and healthier skin without an uncomfortable healing period.
CO2 laser resurfacing has long been the gold standard in facial skin resurfacing. The CO2 laser works by removing the outer layers of skin to remove sun damage and unwanted pigmentation. The laser also penetrates deeply into the skin to generate new collagen that will tighten the skin and remove wrinkles. CO2 resurfacing is also an excellent way to enhance the outcome of other cosmetic procedures when it is combined with eyelid surgery or facelifts to provide a rejuvenated and youthful appearance to the skin.

Plasma skin resurfacing with the Portrait PSR3™ is the latest in skin resurfacing technology. The Portrait will safely and quickly resurface the skin to strip away unwanted wrinkles, sun damage or pigmentation. Because of the new technology, the skin heals rapidly leaving behind refreshed and rejuvenated skin. The Portrait can also be for our weekend plasma peel to remove pigmentation and sun damage with only mild redness after the treatment allowing you to return to work quickly without unwanted downtime.
Fotofacial is a non-abrasive and non-invasive rejuvenation of your skin using the remarkable new technology of Intense Pulsed Light (IPL).
IPL FotoFacial technology can correct or erase the signs of photoaging, rosacea, sun damage, and brown spots on the face, hands and body. It has also been used to reduce the appearance of mild acne scars, dark circles around the eyes, and to reduce fine lines around the eyes and mouth.
Using a cold gel applied to the area to be treated, the IPL FotoFacial handpiece is gently applied to your skin as pulses of light are emitted. Usually, four to six treatment sessions, lasting about 20 minutes each, will provide you with beautiful results.
There is no recuperation time necessary. With an IPL FotoFacial you can return to work the same day or resume your normal activities. There is no disruption to your active lifestyle. You will notice a gradual, yet natural, looking improvement providing you with outstanding results. IPL is a safe solution tailor-made to your skin type and condition.

 New technology allows us to treat spider veins without surgery or other painful procedures that require an extended hospital stay and long recovery. Laser ablation takes only 45 minutes in two sessions. The procedure is painless and does not require anesthesia. The laser aims carefully controlled pulses of narrow-wavelength light at the damaged veins. The veins absorb the light and heat up, then collapse and close. They are then gradually re-absorbed by the body. Normal activities can be resumed immediately.
Pellevé™ is the latest technology for non-surgical skin tightening. Pellevé™ provides continuous radiofrequency energy to the skin to gently heat and tighten the collagen. Treatments result in a firming or tightening of the skin that creates a lifting in the cheeks, jowls and forehead. Pellevé™ can also help reduce some fine lines and wrinkles. Each treatment takes approximately one hour to treat the face and neck. No anesthetic is required and there is no downtime or healing period. Patients can return to full normal activity immediately after the procedure. During treatments, the handpiece or wand is passed back and forth over the skin until the ideal temperature is reached. The skin is then cooled and the heating is repeated. These cycles are usually repeated about 4-5 times. It is recommended that patients have a second treatment about 4-6 weeks after the first to achieve the maximum benefits.

Many people have second thoughts about their tattoos. Fortunately, you don't have to live with your decision forever. Highly precise lasers can lighten or remove your tattoo by focusing or pulsing light on the ink particles, which then convert the energy to heat and break up into tiny pieces that are absorbed harmlessly by the body. All this can be accomplished without damaging the surrounding tissue. Results can generally be seen within a few weeks, although larger and darker tattoos may require more treatments than smaller, lighter ones. Occasionally treated skin will look whiter (paler) than the skin around it, but this is usually temporary and fades in the months following treatment.
The latest technology for laser skin resurfacing is the Total FX® fractional CO2 laser. This laser reduces lines and wrinkles, sun spots and tightens skin restoring a more youthful appearance to your skin. Better yet, the Total FX® accomplishes this with half of the normal healing time of traditional laser resurfacing. Advances in fractional laser technology allow the Total FX® laser to treat portions of the skin and still provide excellent results in a safer treatment and with a reduced healing time compared to traditional CO2 resurfacing. Crow's feet, loose eyelid skin, and sun damaged skin all respond beautifully to the Total FX®.
The procedure is performed using a unique combination of Deep FX® for wrinkles, acne scars and rebuilding collagen followed by the Active FX® for the superficial layers of the skin to remove unwanted pigment, smooth the skin and restore a youthful luster to the skin tone. Treatments can be performed in less than an hour and are done under local anesthetic. Following a treatment, most patients experience redness and some degree of peeling for 5-7 days.
