The treatments aim to diminish blemishes and prevent their appearance, providing a significant improvement in the skin's appearance. However, do not remove the condition permanently.

25-34 year old man treated with Skin Lightening - This flexible system offers 1064nm, 1320nm, and 1440nm wavelengths which can be used in single or blended mode.

Optimal outcomes.Additional technology incorporated to increase safety, optimization, and satisfaction:SmartSense Delivery System distributes precise energy by measuring motion and delivery of laser power.ThermaGuide Temperature sensing cannula provides temperature feedback to deliver the appropriate level of laser energy. How does the smart lipo triplex workstation work?Smartlipo Triplex is designed exclusively to perform laser-assisted lipolysis, commonly referred to as laser liposuction. A very thin tube containing the Smartlipo laser fiber is inserted in targeted fatty areas through a small incision. The laser fiber delivers thermal energy directly to fat cells and disrupts the fatty tissue, allowing the fat to be easily removed through gentle suction. The tissue around the area tightens through coagulation, contributing to an overall smoother shape.

55-64 year old woman treated with Skin Lightening - Silhouette InstaLift is a non-invasive alternative to a traditional surgical facelift. It helps to address volume loss as well as skin laxity through not only instant lift of the skin, but also long-term collagen production. Specially formulated dissolvable sutures with bidirectional cones are used to mechanically fix deep tissue until collagen production ensures tissue fixation biologically. The entire procedure takes only 45 minutes and requires no incisions or anesthesia. Instead, lidocaine is injected locally to ensure patient comfort during the treatment.While cosmetic dermatologists have performed thread lifts previously, InstaLift provides a vast improvement thanks to the use of dissolvable threads and cones made up of a synthetic material called polylactic acid, which is also used in Sculptra. This material slowly disintegrates as the body creates scar tissues, which provides a natural lift for the face in their place. Through the use of bidirectional cones, the lifting caused by InstaLift can be more finely controlled. Combined, these advantages result in the long-lasting effects of InstaLift while avoiding the potential side effects once felt by patients who chose previous versions of thread lifting.
