MORPHEUS8
Morpheus8 can be used on any areas that can benefit from sub-dermal renewal. The most commonly treated areas include the face and neck. Areas of the face and body that exhibit wrinkles, discoloration or acne scarring are suitable for treatment. Any area that is covered with skin and contains unwanted fat, cellulite, or texture irregularities are also commonly treated with Morpheus8 body.
The recommendation is 3 treatments initially, performed 4-6 weeks apart. Then a 1 treatment touch-up is recommended every 12-15 months depending on age and skin care regimen.
Visible results can be seen within a few days, but typically after three weeks the most noticeable results appear. Improvements continue up to three months after treatment.
Fractionated RF energy is a scientifically proven method to reduce wrinkles and rebuild collagen and melt fat. It is minimally invasive, using a matrix of micro pins to renew deeper layers of the skin with almost no patient downtime.
The benefit of Morpheus8’s color blind technology is that it can be used on all skin types. The unique properties allow even darker tones to be treated. Morpheus8 creates microinjuries and requires an immune system that can “heal” the area and stimulate new cell growth, rebuilding collagen and elastin. This is not recommended for patient’s that are immunocompromised and/or older than 75 years old.
Since patient downtime is minimal, tinted sunscreen can be applied 24 hours after and makeup can be applied 48 hours after the treatment. Patients should expect to see micro lesions a few days after treatment and slight redness for up to 1 week depending on treatment parameters.

DiolazeXL
During laser treatment, a diode laser beam passes through the skin towards hair follicles. The penetrating energy then heats up the root of the hair, which in turn prevents future hair growth.
DiolazeXL has a built-in skin cooling surface which is one of the largest for all hair removal devices. This makes treatment more comfortable than other devices, with most patients noting that DiolazeXL is virtually painless. However, some areas are more sensitive than others.
As with all laser hair removal methods, DiolazeXL requires a series of treatments. Laser hair removal works best when hair follicles are in their mature stage; however, at any given time your hair is in various stages of growth.
Hair is reduced with each treatment and results are observed after 4-6 sessions. The number of sessions will differ depending on your hair color, hair type, body area, and skin tone.
DiolazeXL can be safely used on most areas of the body that have unwanted hair. Most commonlytreated areas include: bikini, legs, arms, chest, back, shoulders, stomach, neck, chin and sideburns.
LUMECCA
In just 1-3 sessions, Lumecca improves the appearance of: Age spots (red/brown pigmentations), Vascular lesions such as facial telangiectasias (spider veins) and poikiloderma, Rosacea (redness), Freckles, and sun damage.
Lumecca can be used on all areas of the body. The most common areas of treatment are zones that are regularly exposed to the sun. This often includes the face, neck, décolletage, legs, hands and arms. Other common uses is healed scars to improve pigmentation and decrease reds and browns discoloration.
Avoid direct, excessive sun exposure or tanning one month prior to treatment.
During treatment there will be a bright flash of light from the Lumecca laser that feels like a light elastic sensation. Redness and a slight warming of the skin are normal after treatment and usually subsides within an hour. Over the next 24-48 hours you may see a darkening of pigmented spots; in the week afterwards, the pigmented lesions flake off, leading to an evening out of skin tone. After treating vascular lesions, you may see the vein blanch and disappear or a color change in the vessel which dissipates after a few days.
An improved skin appearance can be noted after the first session. Multiple sessions provide even better results. Treatment regime depends on the severity of skin damage, skin type, type of treatment(vascular vs sun damage) and energy settings.
Sun damage and skin complexion results can be seen a few days after the first session. The skin will continue to look younger and more brilliant over time with most visible results after 1-2 weeks. Having multiple photo facial sessions will improve the final result. For vascular treatments such as facial telangiectasias, results can be seen in up to 2 weeks.
Most patients do not experience any side effects and any skin reaction usually resolves within a few hours. Patients may find they are sensitive to sunlight immediately after treatment. It is recommended to avoid direct sunlight and tanning.
