Laser Filler

Laser light is non-invasive and acts as a filler that tightens the skin. Underneath your skin, in the dermis layer, lies elastic and resilient collagen fibers that keep the outer layer youthful and vibrant. The light applies gentle focus to these areas and the heat activates the moisture from the fibers, realigning your skin’s collagen. It also encourages natural collagen growth even after your procedure is complete.

IPL

Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) Laser Treatment interacts with more than the surface of your skin. This special technology is the laser light that is used to reach into your dermis layer and restructure those collagen fibers and create firmer, tighter skin. IPL targets specific areas to mitigate even moisture levels. Intense Pulsed Light expands and contracts the skin in strong but consistent movements. This process is generally painless, thorough, and quick, and results in healthy, radiant skin.

Neurotoxins

In contrast to IPL, neurotoxins limit the nerve cells ability to contract, and although they are used to treat medical conditions, they are most widely known for their cosmetic impact on appearance and their ability to make wrinkles and facial lines fade. A misconception about these injections is that they are dangerous, but when in use by experienced professionals, neurotoxin injections are relatively safe: the dosages are purified and calculated in a lab for appropriate, guided use in order to produce an effective but relatively harmless anti-aging product. 

Laser filler

Laser fillers use light to help heal depleting collagen underneath your skin’s surface. Collagen fibers are integral to the functioning of your skin cells, as the fibers help them grow, heal and renew. Without collagen, your joints wouldn’t have a soft cushion to protect them. Collagen also plays a role in keeping your skin moist: nobody wants dry, itchy, irritated skin. Laser filler helps boost your skin’s ability to produce collagen naturally, even long after your completed procedure.

Neurotoxins

Neurotoxins keep nerve cells still, which limits their ability to contract. For certain medical conditions, this aspect of these injections is incredibly useful in limiting painful or unwanted symptoms. These medical conditions include but are not limited to: migraines, excessive sweating, muscle spasms, and even cerebral palsy. The injection is typically applied to the site of overactive or uncontrolled muscle movement and is effective in blocking neurotransmitters (which send pain signals to the brain).

IPL

Intense Pulsed Light Laser Treatment, as described above, does have cosmetic effects that promote natural tightness and firmness of the skin, but it also works to treat many other skin conditions, such as: red blotches, rosacea, age spots, and acne. IPL sends wave lights underneath the epidermis, allowing it to heal ruptured blood vessels and other problems that hide under the surface, with little to no discomfort. Our IPL treatment plan can be completed in a limited series of efficient sessions, so please contact us to see if this process is right for you.
