VBeam® Perfecta
The VBeam® uses Pulsed Dye Laser (PDL) technology to deliver an intense but gentle burst of light into targeted areas of skin. The light is absorbed by the blood vessels, or melanin pigmented areas to safely treat the condition.
Each VBeam® Perfecta pulse is composed of 8 individual micro pulses. Energy within each pulse is distributed across these micro pulses, allowing us to select higher overall energies and effectively target affected areas of skin with less downtime and recovery. We can also select to more aggressively scale energy output to treat a more stubborn range of indications.
This laser is the gold standard. We use it every day to treat a vast host of skin conditions, including:
-
discolourations including rosacea, sun spots, age spots, freckles
-
vascular and pigmentation abnormalities like poikiloderma, port wine stains, facial veins, and leg veins
-
scars
-
stretch marks
-
warts
-
psoriasis
Treatment, after-care, potential side effects and contraindications will be discussed in your initial consultation.
Fractional Laser Scar Removal
With little to no downtime, laser scar treatment can be done on any area of the body to address surgical scars and acne scars. Using Palomar® fractional laser technology, pulses of laser light break down scar tissue and help generate healthy, new tissue.
Treatment, after-care, potential side effects and contraindications will be discussed in your initial consultation.
Laser Leg-Vein Treatment
Ideal for spider veins and reticular veins, laser leg-vein treatment is a non-invasive procedure using Palomar® lasers to target and constrict the blood vessels in the legs that cause spider veins, without harming surrounding tissue.
Your doctor can determine whether you are a candidate for laser leg-vein treatment in your initial consultation. Treatment, after-care, potential side effects and contraindications will be discussed as well.
Fractional Laser Skin Resurfacing
Laser Skin Resurfacing can be used to improve the appearance of:
-
age spots
-
sun damage
-
skin tone and texture
-
wrinkles
-
surgical scars
-
acne scars
-
stretch marks
Using Palomar® fractional laser technology, laser energy microbeams are used to create areas of affected tissue that extend through the epidermis into the dermis. The body's natural healing process creates new, healthy tissue to replace the areas of affected tissue, bringing your most beautiful skin to light.
Treatment options, after-care, potential side effects and contraindications will be discussed in your initial consultation.
Fractional Laser for Stretch Marks
Anytime skin has been stretched too far, or too fast, whether through pregnancy, weight change, or growth spurts, stretch marks appear.
Palomar® laser technology uses pulses of fractional laser light to break down stretch marks, causing new tissue production and helping to improve the colour. New collagen leaves the stretch mark smoother and less obvious in appearance.
Treatment options, after-care, potential side effects and contraindications will be discussed in your initial consultation.
Permanent Laser Hair Reduction
Available for all skin types and most hair colours, light based permanent hair reduction can remove unwanted hair from faces (excluding around the eyes), backs, chests, arms, underarms, bikini lines, and legs.
Light is used to target and destroy hair follicles, without harming surrounding tissue. Several treatment sessions are recommended, due to the varying active phases of hair growth.
We'll determine if you're a good candidate for light hair reduction, based on a number of factors, in your initial consultation. Treatment, after-care, and potential side effects will also be discussed.
BLU-U® Blue Light Photodynamic Therapy
A non-drug therapy for moderate acne, BLU-U® light treatments kill the P. acnes bacteria in your skin.
Treatment options, after-care, potential side effects, and contraindications will discussed in your initial consultation,
