Pico Genesis
What is the Pico Genesis laser?
The Pico Genesis laser is a non-invasive laser treatment that uses short, high-intensity pulses of energy to target and break up pigmentation in the skin.
How does it work?
The laser emits ultra-short pulses of energy that shatter pigment into tiny particles, which are then naturally cleared away by the body's immune system. The laser also stimulates collagen production, helping to improve skin texture and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
What can it treat?
Pico Genesis is effective in treating a variety of skin concerns, including hyperpigmentation, sun spots, age spots, freckles, and uneven skin tone. It can also improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and enhance overall skin texture and tone.
Is it painful?
Patients typically experience minimal discomfort during Pico Genesis treatments, and most people do not require any topical numbing agents. The procedure is fast and can be completed in as little as 20 minutes.
How many treatments are needed?
The number of treatments needed will depend on the individual's specific concerns and the desired results. Most people require a series of treatments spaced several weeks apart to achieve optimal results.
Is there any downtime?
There is typically no downtime after a Pico Genesis treatment, and most people can resume their normal activities immediately. However, it's important to avoid sun exposure and use sunscreen to protect the treated area. Some patients may experience mild redness or swelling that typically resolves within a few hours to a day.

How does Clear and Brilliant work?

During a Clear and Brilliant treatment, your skin will be cleaned and a topical numbing cream may be applied to help minimize any discomfort. The treatment itself typically takes around 30 minutes to complete, depending on the size of the area being treated. During the treatment, you may feel a slight warming or tingling sensation, but most patients find the treatment to be very tolerable.
What is the recovery process like after Clear and Brilliant?
There is little to no downtime associated with Clear and Brilliant, and most patients are able to resume their normal activities immediately following the treatment. Your skin may be slightly red or swollen for a few hours after the treatment, but this should subside quickly.

How many Clear and Brilliant treatments will I need?
The number of treatments needed varies depending on your individual needs and goals. Most patients see significant improvement after just one treatment, but a series of treatments may be recommended for optimal results.

What is Fraxel?
Fraxel is a brand name for a type of fractional laser treatment that can help improve the appearance of various skin concerns, including wrinkles, fine lines, acne scars, age spots, and sun damage. The Fraxel laser is a non-invasive and non-surgical treatment that works by creating tiny, microscopic injuries in the skin to stimulate the body's natural healing process and promote the growth of new, healthy skin cells.
How does Fraxel work?
Fraxel uses a fractional laser to treat targeted areas of the skin. The laser delivers tiny columns of energy that penetrate deep into the skin, creating microscopic wounds while leaving the surrounding tissue intact.

Non-invasive, non-surgical treatment with minimal downtime
Can be customized to suit individual skin types and concerns
What can I expect during a Fraxel treatment?
Before your treatment, your dermatologist will apply a topical anesthetic to the treatment area to help manage any discomfort during the procedure. During the treatment, the Fraxel laser will be applied to the skin in a grid-like pattern to ensure even treatment. You may feel a warming or prickling sensation during the treatment, but discomfort is typically minimal. Depending on the size of the treatment area, the procedure can take between 20 minutes to an hour to complete.
What is the recovery time after Fraxel?
After a Fraxel treatment, your skin may be red and swollen, and you may experience some discomfort, similar to a sunburn. This typically subsides within a few days, and most patients can return to work and normal activities within a week. You may be advised to avoid direct sun exposure and use a moisturizer and sunscreen to protect your skin during the healing process.
How many Fraxel treatments will I need?
The number of treatments required depends on the individual and the condition being treated. For best results, most patients will require between 3 to 5 treatments spaced a few weeks apart. The exact number of treatments will be determined during your consultation with your dermatologist.
Is Fraxel safe?
Fraxel is a safe and effective treatment when performed by a trained and experienced dermatologist. As with any medical procedure, there are some risks involved, but they are generally minimal and can be minimized by following post-treatment instructions carefully.

Ellacor Micro-coring
What is Ellacor?
Ellacor is a revolutionary device from medical technology company Cytrellis. This minimally invasive treatment uses Micro-Coring™ technology to diminish wrinkles and age-related skin laxity in the mid to lower face.
How does Ellacor work?
Ellacor is one of the first devices to use a fractional tissue extraction process called micro-coring to rejuvenate skin. The device allows for micro-excisional removal of excess skin with very fine hollow needles, without leaving any scarring. The needles are small and precise enough to reach the full thickness of the skin.
What are the benefits of Ellacor?
Ellacor offers several benefits, including:
No incisions or scarring
Removes excess, sagging skin
Diminishes the appearance of wrinkles
Can reduce the appearance of “marionette lines” and jowls

In-office treatment with no general anesthesia needed
What can I expect during my Ellacor treatment?
At your consultation appointment, one of our experienced dermatologists will assess your skin and discuss your aesthetic concerns and goals in order to determine if Ellacor is right for you. Minimal prep is required before your treatment. A local anesthetic will be administered to the area to be treated to help you stay comfortable during your treatment. Once your skin is numb, your provider will strategically place Ellacor device to your skin to create micro-cores in a precise grid pattern. Excess skin will be removed through the hollow needles, but the micro-cores are so tiny that they will begin to heal almost immediately.
What is the recovery process like after Ellacor treatment?
Recovery after Ellacor treatment typically takes from a few days up to a week of downtime. Common side effects include redness and swelling, but these should subside within a few days. You will be advised to keep the treated area covered with ointment for 1 to 2 days and avoid makeup and harsh skin products for one week.
When will I see results from my Ellacor treatment?
Your individual results will depend on several factors, but most patients experience an improvement in skin laxity within several weeks of treatment. Two to three sessions are usually recommended with optimal results visible a few months after your final treatment. Results are long-lasting and you can improve the longevity of your results with a good skincare routine that includes sun protection.

Is there any downtime or recovery after the PDL (Vbeam) procedure?
