Skin Rejuvenation

Anyone with wrinkles, acne scarring, poor skin texture, large pores, unwanted scars and skin blemishes (age spots, sundamaged skin etc) are reasons to consider resurfacing. Fine wrinkles and brown blotches respond very well, deeper wrinkles will soften and look much less obvious. The skin texture will be softened and look fresher as it has improved in quality.

The resurfacing beam slowly removes the surface of the skin layer by layer in a very precise manner. Because there is no bleeding the skin structures can be seen thereby enabling the correct amount of old skin tissue to be removed. New skin is formed from the deeper skin cells lying in the hair follicles. The new skin is fresher, healthier, less blemished and contains more collagen thus smoothing or softening wrinkles.

Cutera Lasers Talking Points

Pearl

Patients today don’t have the luxury of downtime and they want to see results quickly. Pearl really answers this need.

Pearl is the first FDA-cleared laser with a 2790nm wavelength for skin resurfacing including multiple common skin care concerns.

Specifically, Pearl:

• Reduces fines lines and wrinkles
• Smoothes uneven texture and discoloration
• Repairs sun damage
• Reduces pore size

Pearl:

• Full face treatments with the ability to treat the entire epidermis
• Natural dressing (or natural bandage) protects skin post treatment alleviating the need for wound care
• 10 - 15 minute procedure
• 1 - 2 treatments
• 3 - 4 days of "social" downtime
• Thermal collagen stimulation

On a pain scale from 1 – 10, most patients report the procedure being a 2 or a 3.

Titan

• The Titan procedure appeals to patients who are not ready for surgery or who wish to avoid surgery altogether.
• Titan is a light-based medical device for treating skin laxity of the face, neck, jowls, arms, legs, abdomen or other body part with loose skin -- without surgery, recovery time or injections.
• During the procedure, Titan heats the deep dermis to stimulate collagen growth. The skin’s surface is protected through continuous contact cooling.
• Patients benefit from 1 to 3 treatments, each spaced 1 month apart.
• Some patients see results immediately. For others, the results are gradual over a 3 - 6 month period as new collagen is formed and the skin tightens.
• No topical anesthesia is required.
• Men and women of all ages and skin types who have lax skin on some part of their body are potential candidates.

Laser Genesis

• Patient candidates for this unique treatment appear with diffuse redness, poriness and even scarring.
• Clinical effects are reduced wrinkles, diminished pore size, reduction in erythema and improved skin texture
• Through gentle heating of the dermis, fine structures such as the microvasculature are targeted and collagen is formed with cross-linking of the fibers
• It is safe to treat all skin types – even during the summer – without fear of complications
• No gel or topical anesthesia is required.
• Laser Genesis is FDA cleared for the treatment of wrinkles

CoolGlide Excel for Facial Veins

• With facial vascular, we use a combination of therapies because there is a need to have specific approaches for dyschromia.
• People today need to be aware that there are very effective laser treatments for facial vascular conditions, extremely common in Caucasian skin.
• The CoolGlide Excel is the first clinically effective 1064 Nd:YAG laser for treating facial vascular conditions.
• The 1064 nm wavelength is also suitable for more superficial telangiectasias and spider veins on the face, Rosacea, and Poikiloderma of Civatte.

Advantages of CoolGlide Excel:

• Controls the depth of penetration through spot sizes 3, 5, 7 and 10 mm
• Variable pulse durations to adjust to different vessel diameters
• Moderate hemoglobin absorption but minimal melanin absorption
• It has a copper cooling handpiece with more than 10 times the thermal conductivity of sapphire windows

LimeLight

• Limelight is perfect for the patient with both red and brown discoloration.
• Limelight also treats discrete vessels versus the diffuse erythema.
• First 3 in 1 Programmable Wavelength skin rejuvenation for the treatment of diffuse redness and facial telangiectasia and texture.
• The Cutera LimeLight combines the benefits of three distinct light based devices into one solution with a wavelength range of 520-1100 nm.
• This range of wavelengths allows for both hemoglobin and melanin absorption. Each of LimeLight's three pre-set modes shift the wavelength spectrum to optimize treatments.
• In addition, the pulse widths and cooling are tailored to each of the applications in a way that no other flashlamp device can to achieve optimum performance.
