LightSheer™ Hair Removal

Introducing the new LightSheer™ DUET hair removal laser. As one of the only facilities in the Los Angeles area to offer this, it uses a vacuum-assisted handpiece with a large 22x35mm treatment area. This allows us to treat legs and backs in only 15 minutes as opposed to almost one hour with the previous units.

Made by Lumenis™, the same company that pioneered Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) technology, the LightSheer™ diode laser is considered the industry "gold standard" in achieving permanent hair reduction. The LightSheer laser works on a range of hair colors and all skin types, including tanned skin, and has been proven to improve the appearance of razor bumps, benign pigmented lesions, sun damage and superficial leg veins in addition to removing hair. An innovative cooling device on the end of the laser wand soothes the skin after each pulse of light, ensuring that treatment is nearly pain-free.

Active FX Facial Resurfacing 

Active FX by Lumenis combines the precision of a CO2 laser with the speed of fractional resurfacing technology to provide unprecedented facial rejuvenation. Taking years off lined and sun-damaged skin like a nonsurgical facelift, Active FX achieves immediate, dramatic results that can last for years. It works on multiple levels simultaneously:

  • Tightens skin
  • Reduces fine lines and wrinkles
  • Smoothes frown lines
  • Improves skin tone and texture
  • Reveals fresh skin beneath the aged surface
  • Stimulates collagen growth for a youthful fullness

 

Active FX requires less downtime than other laser facial rejuvenation procedures, with most patients returning to work in a few days. The procedure typically causes no discomfort beyond a sensation of warmth like a mild sunburn.

Total FX Laser Treatment

Total FX laser treatment combines the benefits of the Active FX and Deep FX treatments, all in one simple procedure.  This advanced procedure reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and tightens skin, resulting in a smoother and more youthful appearance.  The Total FX procedure is effective in:

  • Improving the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
  • Tightening skin
  • Stimulating collagen production
  • Eliminating brown spots and age spots
  • Improving the appearance of acne scars

Patients often look five to ten years younger after this procedure, which can be used to treat the face, chest, arms and hands.  Most patients choose to have this treatment performed on the face, to treat crow's lines, loose eyelid skin, sun damage and more.

The Total FX procedure is performed in your doctor's office and takes less than an hour to perform.  Local anesthetic may be administered to reduce any discomfort during the procedure, although it is tolerable for most patients.

After this procedure, most patients experience mild redness and peeling.  These side effects are a normal part of the healing process, and usually subside after five to seven days, when the dramatic results of the procedure begin to appear.

Deep FX Laser Treatment

Deep FX by Lumenis is an advanced laser treatment that can effectively treat aged, sun-damaged or scarred skin through a simple and safe procedure.  This procedure is commonly used to treat the face, upper chest, hands and arms

During the Deep FX procedure, fractional laser beams are transmitted to target the deep layers of the skin, stimulating tissue regeneration and collagen production throughout the area.  The laser can:

  • Smooth wrinkles and unwanted lines
  • Improve the appearance of scars and other spots
  • Leave the skin fuller and more youthful

The Deep FX procedure is performed in your doctor's office and takes about 20 minutes.  A topical anesthetic may be applied prior to treatment in order to minimize any potential discomfort.  Most patients report only a warm sensation during treatment.  The warm feeling will continue after treatment, but usually goes away within a few days.

After treatment, the skin will have an appearance similar to a deep sunburn, and will then begin to flake as it heals.  The results of this procedure are available immediately, and will continue to improve for up to six months.  With proper skin care, these results can last for several years.
