LaserDermology SM is a cellulite treatment using the Tri-Active TM system. It minimizes cellulite, smoothes and tightens your face and body, pre and post liposuction procedures, enhances microcirculation, and therapeutic massage. This system was originally developed 3 years ago by laser scientists in Italy. This innovative technology is used by Physicians and spas all over the world to uncover glowing skin to thousands of individuals.

The Tri-Active TM LaserDermology SM series of treatments uses deep mechanical massaging action, which works on the subcutaneous tissue beneath the skin. This mechanism increases microcirculation, restores the skin's normal balance and provides a healthier appearance.

Individual results can depend on several factors: the area being treated, whether treatment is combined with another procedure, diet or exercise, your age and general condition, and the number of treatments. The procedure is typically done in a series of 10 to 15 treatments in a given area. These can be spaced as closely as 3 times a week, or as far out as once a week. In some cases it may take up to 6 to 10 treatments before you start to see significant results and maintenance is required once a month after desired results.

The procedure is not painful and not even as strenuous as a traditional massage. Most individuals report that it "just feels great"!

Besides the thighs and buttocks for cellulite, most other parts of the body can be treated as well: the face, the love-handles, tummy, upper arms and neck. This procedure provides noticeable results before and after liposuction and after other aesthetic surgery, such as breast augmentation and abdominoplasty.

Anyone that is pregnant, bronchial asthma or acute asthma, lower abdominal disorder, thrombopheletis, congestive heart failure, hyper-thyroidism, or carotid sinus syndrome. These conditions are affected with the lymphatic drainage and could case complications.

Because liposuction is a surgical procedure, normal results include fluid retention (edema) and slackening of the skin. LaserDermology SM treatment is recommended after surgery to accelerate the tightening of the area. Treatment prior to surgery may also have added benefits. Consult with your surgeon for what is right for you.

LaserFACIAL is a non-ablative procedure that can reduce visible facial vessels, diffuse redness, acne scars, Rosacea, sun damage, and large pores. It has been FDA cleared to reduce wrinkles    by gently warming the upper dermis, improving the appearance of your skin. The result is a healthy looking and vibrant appearance.

The LaserFACIAL procedure utilizes laser technology that can safely, discretely and effectively treat small targets. Unlike many other treatment methods, LaserFACIAL is a comfortable, non-ablative form of skin therapy. This means you will be able to see subtle yet consistent results after each treatment, without unwanted side effects such as bruising or excessive skin irritation. Your therapy can be performed in a relaxed, comfortable manner without the use of general or local anesthesia, gel or cream.

Unlike many other procedures available today, with LaserFACIAL skin therapy, your physician can safely treat all areas.   The most common is facial, neck and chest.

Telangiectasia, or facial vessels, are dilated capillaries that commonly appear on the surface of the face and in areas around the nose, cheeks and above the neckline. Capillaries are tiny blood vessels that are present throughout the body. Prolonged sun exposure, aging, trauma and other factors can cause capillaries to become dilated and visible. There is also a hereditary factor in developing facial telangiectasia. LaserFACIAL therapy will help your appearance by treating any visible trace of these unsightly veins. Diffuse redness is a general appearance of facial redness, such as rosy cheeks. As with facial telangiectasia, this condition is a result of dilated capillaries, however the appearance is more of a general redness rather than discrete well-defined vessels. The most commonly affected areas are the nose, forehead and cheeks. Diffuse redness is often associated with a condition called rosacea that can be hereditary. LaserFACIAL therapy will help your appearance by gently treating and reducing this condition.

There are no complicated pretreatment rituals with this procedure. Prior to the actual LaserFACIAL treatment you will be asked to remove your make-up or moisturizers and, in some cases, you may be asked to shave the area to be treated so as not to interfere with the laser treatment. Your physician will review and assist with all pretreatment requirements. There are no numbing creams used in this procedure.

The treatment results are often very subtle. On average you may require 4 to 6 treatments in order to achieve the results you are looking for. Every patient's conditions and needs vary. Some conditions may require more treatments. It is important for the clinical staff to have a clear understanding of your expectations to make sure they are realistic with this type of procedure. For more information about your expected results or the number of treatments necessary, consult your physician.

No, LaserFACIAL is a comfortable, non-ablative, non-invasive treatment. Unlike other laser treatments it does not wound the skin's surface therefore virtually eliminating the need for complicated post treatment care. Typically patients describe the treatment as a gentle warming of the surface.

Lipotropics are three amino acids that are essential for the health of your liver.  The liver is an organ responsible for removing fat and toxins from your body, so when it's healthier, it will work better for you.  Vitamin B12 gives you a huge energy boost, which helps you to burn calories.

The vitamin cocktail included in the B12 and Lipotropic shots are compounds that enhance liver function and increase the flow of fats and bile from the liver and gallbladder.  By definition, a lipotropic substance decreases the deposit, or speeds up the removal of fat within the liver.  The key amino acids used to make these shots are Vitamin B12, Choline, Methione, and Inositol.

Vitamin B12 is essential for helping to form new, healthy cells in the body.  It also boosts energy, helping to increase activity levels.

Choline supports the health of the liver in its processing and excretion of chemical waste products within the body.  Moreover, it is required for the transport and metabolism of fats and cholesterol within the body, which is important for the healthy support of the endocrine, cardiovascular and hepatic systems.

Methione is one of the sulfur-containing amino acids and is important for many bodily functions.  It acts as a lipotropic agent to prevent excess fat buildup in the liver and the body, is helpful in relieving or preventing fatigue and may be useful in some cases of allergy because it reduces histamine release.

Inositol , a nutrient belonging to the B vitamin complex, is closely associated with choline.  It aids in the metabolism of fats and helps reduce blood cholesterol.  Inositol participates in the action of serotonin, a neurotransmitter known to control mood  and appetite.

We offer B12 by itself because some people just want the energy, not the weight loss, and others who want to lose weight but have a sulfa allergy can take this and at least boost their energy so they burn more calories.  The results are slower with the B12 by itself, but it does help.  Vitamin B12 is a vitamin typically found in meat and dairy products.  It helps in the formation of red blood cells and is essential for nervous system functioning.  B12 creates a significant energy boost for the body.  Patients who take it feel like moving around more and tend to burn more calories through increased movement.

Yes, several patients may no longer need their blood pressure medications after losing weight.

These injections are very safe.  The Vitamin B12 with Lipotropics is composed of a vitamin and 3 amino acids.  It will not interfere with other medications that you are on.

Mesotherapy is a technique which has been used in France for over 50 years, where small amounts of medication, vitamins and supplements are injected into fat and the connective tissue of the skin (called the mesoderm) for many cosmetic and medical purposes including reduction of cellulite and fat, spot weight reduction, sagging chins, and for eliminating cellulite from heavy thighs, abdomen, hips and buttocks.

A series of micro-injections are administered just below the surface of the skin at the location of the problem area. It can be used just about anywhere on the body, but is mostly used to treat the abdomen, hips, thighs, buttocks, knees, and ankles.

The Mesotherapy injection is a solution of various vitamins, minerals, enzymes, plant extracts, amino acids, anesthetics, and medications. The makeup of the solution varies depending on the needs of the patient and the desired effect while allowing for a greater level of safety when issues such as drug interactions and allergies exist.

The procedure has minimal discomfort, but if a patient is sensitive to needles, a mild painkiller, local anesthetic or numbing cream can be used. The discomfort level is often compared to that of waxing.

The primary advantage of Mesotherapy over Liposuction is that it is a non-invasive procedure and therefore does not have the risks and downtime associated with surgery. Liposuction permanently removes the fat cells and is arguably a more permanent solution; however, it is a frequent problem with liposuction to have visibly uneven results which can be treated with Mesotherapy More about: What benefits does Mesotherapy have over surgical techniques such as liposuction?

IPL stands for intense pulse light. The IPL is used for sun damaged skin, brown spots and uneven skin tones. It has also been used to increase collagen and improve acne scars when used in addition with the LaserFacial treatment.   The 755 can be used for the same treatments except it covers a smaller area at a time and the spectrum of light is more direct.

It may take several treatments to get the desired results. We say to expect up 5 but in most cases it can take less and in rare cases not help at all.

It may feel like a rubber band snap, but is usually very minimal.

It is very important for you to stay out of the sun as you could cause discoloration in the area treated. We recommend 4 weeks prior and through out the treatments series. If you cannot avoid sun exposure you should use a minimum sun screen protection of 30 SPF or higher.

Although there is no way to tell for sure which veins will respond, a consultation with the doctor to evaluate and access your veins will be required. Prior surgery or treatment on your veins could affect the treatment outcome. In some cases, further testing may be recommended to determine if there are underlying venous problems.

Although many patients report little or no discomfort, some may experience a mild stinging sensation when the laser pulse is delivered.

Treatment time should be 15 to 30 minutes but may vary depending on the number and size of the vessel(s) to be treated.

Although we encourage you to resume normal activities almost immediately, we do ask that you refrain from vigorous exercise and avoid hot tubs for at least 24 hours post treatment. Also avoid direct sun exposure after treatment and if you do go in the sun, protect the treated area with a minimum SPF 30 Sunscreen.

When treating vascular lesions, the blood temperature at the targeted area is elevated to a level that causes coagulation without damage to the epidermis or surrounding tissue. Because the laser energy is absorbed by melanin in the epidermis as well as the desired target of hemoglobin, the SmartCool system is used to cool and protect the epidermis. Multiple treatments may be necessary to obtain a satisfactory response for some leg veins.

The laser emits a beam of light that is attracted to the pigment or melanin in the hair follicle that is in an active growing cycle. Pre-determined pulse duration and energy settings are directed at and absorbed by the hair follicles, disabling the growth of the follicles, resulting in quick, safe, and effective hair removal.

Lasers are precise instruments that can be adjusted to the exact parameters that will specifically disable the hair follicle. The laser uses a wide beam that treats many hairs at once instead of treating hair-by-hair like electrolysis. Because of this, large areas such as your legs, arms, or back can be treated in a short period of time. You will see results that last far longer than tweezing, waxing, shaving, chemical depilation, or other temporary methods.

The treatment does have a slight prickly or stinging sensation. Most of our clients are able to tolerate the treatment without difficulty. However, since every person’s level of sensitivity is different and treatment areas may vary, a topical numbing cream is available.

It has been our experience that most of our patients are able to discontinue treatments, knowing they will probably need an occasional touchup, after an average of 5-6 treatments, providing that the recommended treatment schedule is followed. It is also important to understand that results may vary depending on the individuals hair type, their stress levels, certain medications and different hormone levels. Keep in mind some individuals will require fewer treatments and some will require more treatments depending on the results desired.

The FDA has cleared laser hair removal, regardless of the laser, for “Permanent Hair Reduction” only. Based on our experience we believe that the hair treated will probably not re-grow. Each individual’s treatment response may be different because of their hair or skin type and given that there are between 500 and 1000 follicles per square cm, of which many are dormant at the time of treatment, we have no way of knowing if and when they may start growing due to stress levels, certain medications and different hormone levels.

After your initial treatment, you should enjoy a significant reduction of hair. However, it will take 2-4 weeks for the treated hair to push its way to the surface and fall out. With each treatment, the hair in the active growing phase will be effectively treated. A follow up appointment is scheduled 4-8 weeks after each treatment. With that in mind, remember the importance of maintaining your follow up appointments.

Since the laser is attracted to the pigment in the hair follicle, these hair colors may not have enough pigment to be successfully treated with the laser. If this applies to you, we may want to try a test spot to see if your hair responds to the laser.
