Laser and Light Procedures
The Cutera CoolGlide XEO
What is the Cutera CoolGlide XEO?
The Cutera CoolGlide XEO laser brings a new approach to laser procedures. Its unique design, longer wavelength and innovative cooling system allow extreme, effective and safe results. The Cutera CoolGlide XEO can be used on all skin tones (I through VI) including tanned skin, but always inform your technician or physician if you have been tanning, using tanning products, or exposed to the sun within the last three weeks. The technician or physician will adjust your procedure regimen accordingly to give you the safest, most effective experience.
Laser Hair Removal
What happens during a laser hair removal procedure?
Your technician or physician will discuss the procedure with you and decide if you need a topical anesthetic cream. As the name implies, the CoolGlide hand piece cools and soothes as it glides along your skin. When the pulse of light is delivered, some patients experience a mild pinching or stinging sensation.
Laser Vein Therapy
What happens during a laser vein therapy procedure?
The CoolGlide system delivers pulses of light energy which cause the blood within the vein to coagulate, eventually destroying the vessel which is later reabsorbed by your body. Blood flow will then be redirected to veins deeper below your skin’s surface, where it should be.
Titan Laser Skin Rejuvenation
How does Titan work? What happens during the procedure?
Titan employs light energy because it provides a more uniform distribution of energy for heating the deep dermis than other energy sources, such as radio frequency. Titan utilizes a safe, infrared light to heat the dermis well below the skin’s surface. This heating can cause immediate collagen contraction. During the procedure, the skin’s surface (epidermis) is protected through continuous cooling with the Titan hand piec
e. After the procedure, new collagen growth results in further tightening and the development of a more youthful, complexion with fewer lines, folds or looseness of the skin.
IPL Skin Therapy
What is IPL and how does it work? What happens during the procedure?
IPL is a pulsed light that is exceptionally effective for treating skin redness (rosacea), brown spots, age spots and sun damage at a very comfortable energy level. A topical anesthetic or cooling gel is not necessary prior to the treatment. You may recognize results in just 1-2 treatments. The visible light delivered during the procedure is selectively absorbed by the pigmented spots and red areas on the skin. The heating of the pigmented cells causes the therapeutic effect. When the hand piece is placed on the skin, it will feel cool and comfortable. When the pulse of light is delivered, you may feel a mild, brief pinching sensation. A topical anesthetic is not necessary, but may be applied if requested. Treatment sessions may take as long as 1 hour depending on the area being treated.
Laser Genesis Skin Therapy
What is Laser Genesis? How does it work?
Laser Genesis is a procedure that utilizes non-invasive laser technology to safely, discretely and effectively treat fine lines, wrinkle, large pores, uneven skin texture, diffuse redness and scars. Laser Genesis gently heats the upper dermis well below your skin’s surface and stimulates collagen growth. Additional heat is generated in dilated capillaries to reduce redness.
MicroLaserPeel™
What is the MicroLaserPeel™?
It is an intra-epidermal laser peel that precisely ablates the outermost layers of the skin. The procedure is individually tailored to the nature of the problem to be corrected. Skin conditions including: wrinkles, scars, keratoses, acne scars or pigmentation problems have been successfully treated with a MicroLaserPeel.
