Important Information
Nothing is as beautiful as smooth, even, wrinkle-free skin. Unfortunately, as we begin to age, the effects of time, the sun and stress begin to show. Thankfully, we have several effective treatment options that will solve your skin issues.

The system also includes a cooling device, which cools the skin as it is treated, offering less discomfort, downtime and unwanted side effects associated with other skin resurfacing procedures.
Use a gentle moisturizer and cleanser a few days prior to your treatment. Do not apply lotions or makeup on the area being treated as these will burn your skin when the laser is applied. Avoid using tanning beds, tinted lotions, self-tanners, bronzers, dyes and avoid natural sun exposure as well. Do not use harsh washes, scrubs, glycolic, or retinol for one week before and after your session.
