NEW! LightSheer DUET Diode Laser for Hair Removal



The new high speed Light Sheer DUET system offers several innovative improvements over previous laser hair removal systems. Vacuum assisted technology combined with a dramatic increase in the laser spot size enables a greater depth of penetration, and improved absorption of energy at the hair follicle. These improvements mean the treatment times are reduced by 75% in many cases, for instance we can treat backs and legs comfortably, without anesthetics and gels. Treatments are done every 1 to 2 months for 4 to 8 sessions depending on the type of hair and area involved.

Benefits of the New Duet Laser hair removal system:

More effective so fewer treatments may be needed
No anesthetic required
No messy gels
No more painful treatments
75 % faster treatment times (can treat a full back in 20 minutes)
Now able to treat darker skin types.
High-speed integrated vacuum-assist technology
Eliminates prep time

LIPOTOMY, a nonsurgical option for removing fat

Lipotomy is a lipodissolution technique that aims to dissolve undesirable clusters of fat without the use of active drugs or surgery. It consists of a series of micro-infusions using a hypotonic mixture (LipoAQP) to create a physiologic salt solution. This natural substance has the property of dissolving fat by attracting water from the intercellular area into the fat cell causing it to swell and eventually burst.
A special manual and mechanical massage treatment follows to help break the bloated fat cells. This massage process needs to be repeated a few more days after the treatment to continue to assist in destroying the weakened cells. The fat is then eliminated via the natural blood circulation and excreted from the body.
The session lasts 2 to 4 hours with minimal to no downtime and results are usually seen starting the 2nd to 4th week as the solution begins to work. It is usually a one-time treatment but may be repeated after 6 months to a year. For optimum results it is used in conjunction with our other body contouring techniques such as the Ultrasound Cavitation Procedure and the RF Contouring Procedure.

NEW: SURGIWIRE Wrinkle Release Procedure


The SurgiWire wrinkle release procedure is a new method for removing large and deep facial wrinkles by loosening the fibrous tissue underneath. It works well on the nasolabial folds (laugh lines on the side of the nose), glabellar folds (between the brows), deep folds in the forehead and depressed scars/areas. This is a good option for those who are not candidates for filers or don't want to have fillers injected. In some patients, it can be coupled with a dermal FILLER or BOTOX for superior cosmetic results.


What SurgiWire is Exactly
This is an easy and highly effective way to remove those deep facial lines, scars and depressions that you don’t want to be able to see anymore. To have SurgiWire performed, you just need a little anesthesia and about an hour in the clinic. A few small punctures will be made in the skin with tiny needles and then a very small surgical wire will be placed underneath your skin, beneath your wrinkled area. As the wire is completely removed, your deep lines and wrinkles will then be released and entirely smoothed out.


Why SurgiWire Works
When you smile and laugh or simply just show some sort of emotion on your face, over time expression lines form and deepen. The muscles under your skin are responsible for this happening. SurgiWire simply releases these muscle attachments and allows your skin to lay smoother and look more youthful. Other procedures such as synthetic fillers, paralytic agents, or fat are injections that are intended to lessen the depth of mild to moderate wrinkles by either decreasing the motion of expression muscles or plumping up the areas immediately under the skin. The SurgiWire procedure differentiates itself because it removes the connection to deep wrinkles and lines, which are eliminating the primary reason wrinkles worsen quickly over time.

How Do You Know if You are a Good Candidate
If when you look in the mirror and notice your furrow or expression lines every time, this may work perfectly for you. To visualize how SurgiWire will work for you, just take your fingers and separate your eyebrows to flatten out that small area of skin in between. If it is not your furrow that’s bothersome and it is your smile lines, place your fingers right on your cheek bones, pull your skin up towards your forehead and just watch your skin flatten along the sides of your nose. As you are looking in the mirror and doing this, your skin appears to be smoother and almost wrinkle-free, this could probably be the right procedure for you.

Advantages of the SurgiWire Procedure:

Smooth skin with no incisions or scars
Fast procedure, fast recovery and can be done with local anesthesia.
Can be used with or without cosmetic fillers or laser resurfacing
Nothing left behind in the body
Immediate results
