CO2 ABLATIVE LASER RESURFACING
CO2 laser resurfacing is a cosmetic treatment that uses focused laser beams to remove the outer layers of damaged skin, promoting the growth of new, healthier skin. It is effective for reducing wrinkles, fine lines, acne scars, sun damage, and other skin imperfections. The laser also stimulates collagen production, which improves skin texture and firmness over time. CO2 laser resurfacing is typically performed on the face and offers long-lasting results with minimal downtime.
FEMTOUCH: THE 360 SOLUTION
With age and after childbirth, women start noticing symptoms related to their vaginal health that affect their lifestyle on different levels. Vaginal atrophy or dryness is a common symptom in postmenopausal women. Stress urinary incontinence is another symptom, as well as vaginal laxity after childbirth, which can impact satisfaction with sexual intercourse.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
FemTouch addresses vaginal health-related conditions by promoting the remodeling of the vaginal mucous layer. The fractional CO2 laser beams are applied along the vaginal wall, resulting in regeneration of the tissue.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Typically, 2-4 treatments are needed to see optimal results and achieve the desired outcome of the vaginal layer. In clinical evaluations, women reported feeling improvement after 1-2 sessions. During the procedure, your physician will move the sterilized applicator along the vaginal wall in an outward motion, applying the laser in a 360-degree pattern covering the entire area. The procedure should only take a few minutes. You may experience a minor heat sensation during the treatment, but it is very gentle, and you should not feel uncomfortable.
LASER HAIR REMOVAL/IPL THERAPY
Laser hair removal is one of the most sought-after elective treatments due to its ability to rid unwanted hair in almost every area of the body in a safe and efficient way. This non-invasive treatment provides a highly effective solution for reducing hair follicles on both the body and face, with results that are long-lasting. During the process, a laser emits a light that is absorbed by the pigment (melanin) within the hair, converting it into heat. This heat damages the hair follicles, impeding or slowing down future hair growth. This procedure not only enhances skin smoothness but also delivers enduring outcomes when compared to traditional methods.
WHAT IS LASER HAIR REMOVAL?
Hair color and skin type influence the success of laser hair removal. The pigment of the hair, but not the pigment of the skin, should absorb the light, only damaging the hair follicle and avoiding damage to the skin. Therefore, a contrast between hair and skin color—dark hair and light skin—results in the best outcomes. Laser hair removal is most effective for people who have light skin and dark hair, but it can be successfully used on all skin types.

IPL THERAPY
Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) therapy is a non-invasive and non-ablative treatment that uses high-intensity pulses of visible light to improve the appearance of the following skin problems: vascular lesions, including spider veins, port wine stains, broken facial veins, rosy cheeks, rosacea, freckles, and age marks; facial lines and wrinkles; removal of unwanted dark hair; active acne; and acne scars.
SKIN TONE AND RE-TEXTURE
PIGMENTATION
VASCULAR LESIONS
ACNE & ROSACEA
HOW DOES IPL WORK?
Intense Pulsed Light is a technology where light is converted into heat energy. The selected light waves target chromophores (color pigments) such as melanin in brown spots and freckles and hemoglobin in broken or diffused vessels. The light waves can also target specific protein molecules in acne bacteria and in collagen.
Pigmentation marks slowly come to the skin's surface and are shed naturally. Vascular lesions dissipate into the lymphatic system for excretion, just as bruises do. Enlarged pores, minor pitting, and scarring diminish and fade. Fine lines and wrinkles are softened and may virtually disappear in some cases. Collagen & elastin production increases.
HOW OFTEN WILL I NEED TREATMENTS?
It is difficult to predict the number of sessions required, as it depends on the nature of the lesions to be treated and their size, plus the client's skin type, condition, and color. Some conditions may require maintenance treatments from time to time. However, the following is a standard guide:
SKIN TONE & RE-TEXTURE (Fine lines, wrinkles, enlarged pores, minor pitting, and scarring, etc.)
o 2-4 treatments are usually recommended at 4-6 week intervals.
VASCULAR LESIONS (facial redness, broken capillaries, spider veins, varicose veins, etc.)
o 2-6 treatments are usually recommended at 2-6 week intervals.
PIGMENTATION MARKS (Freckles, sun spots, flat birthmarks, etc.)
o 2-8 treatments are usually recommended at 4-6 week intervals.
ROSACEA and ACNE
o 2-6 treatments are usually recommended at 1-3 week intervals.
RADIO FREQUENCY MICRONEEDLING
Radio frequency (RF) microneedling devices use specially insulated needles that deliver high-intensity radio frequency energy into the targeted tissue under your skin. This procedure gives a uniform warming effect to the deep tissue, which helps to stimulate new collagen fibers to grow (leading to significant improvement to skin quality and texture). The result is minimal downtime (or none at all) and a nearly painless procedure that can significantly improve wrinkling, scars, and skin laxity.
HOW TO PREPARE
It’s best to discontinue exfoliant products (such as salicylic acid and Retin-A®) one week before the procedure. Discontinuing other anti-inflammatory products is optional.
If you use Accutane®, you should stop using it six months before microneedling. If you have a history of fever sores, you should take an antiviral product (such as VALTREX™ or Zovirax®) two days before and continuing after treatment. Please inform your provider if you’re currently taking or have taken any blood-thinning medication, as it may increase bleeding or bruising during and after the procedure.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Side effects after microneedling are mild, resulting in minimal downtime after treatment. You’ll have mild pinpoint bleeding during and immediately after the procedure. Typically, you’ll only have redness and swelling for up to five days after the procedure.
Moisturizer is applied immediately following RF microneedling. Usually, your skin is mildly red for about 24 hours. Most patients can resume their normal routines within a day.
Radiofrequency microneedling is a cosmetic procedure. It uses tiny needles and radiofrequency waves to rejuvenate facial skin.
The treatment is a form of controlled skin injury. The damage stimulates the growth of collagen and regenerates skin firmness.
RESULTS
The ideal candidate for RF microneedling is anyone looking for a quick, painless, and effective way to improve the texture, tone, and overall appearance of their skin.
After your RF microneedling treatment, you’ll notice:
• Thicker, firmer skin.
• Increased smoothness.
• Increased hydration.
• Reduced appearance of common skin imperfections.
COMBINING FRACTIONAL CO2 AND RF MICRONEEDLING
This dual approach allows us to address both superficial and deep tissue treatments in a single session — maximizing your results and minimizing your downtime.
When we use them together, fractional CO2 and RF microneedling deliver better results than either treatment can produce alone. The fractional CO2 laser works on your skin’s surface for better texture, while the RF microneedling targets deeper layers, stimulates collagen production, and tightens your skin.
THE BENEFITS OF RF WITH CO₂
1. COLLAGEN REBUILDING
You have lots of collagen throughout your body, and your skin relies on it to stay firm and elastic. RF with CO₂ treatments turns on your body’s collagen-producing factory by stimulating collagen at multiple layers.
2. THERE’S LITTLE TO NO DOWNTIME.
Despite the powerful results, combining fractional CO₂ and RF microneedling , both treatments surprisingly involve minimal downtime. Because each treatment targets different skin layers, your skin heals fairly quickly.
3. THE RESULTS ARE NOTICEABLE AND LONG-LASTING.
The results of these combined treatments are not only visible but also long-lasting. Most patients will see continued improvements in their skin’s appearance for months following their sessions.
4. IT TREATS MULTIPLE COMPLEXION ISSUES AT ONCE.
By integrating fractional CO2 and RF microneedling, it helps you solve almost all your complexion complaints.
