Targeted Rejuvenation

During a consultation, your New Light Team Member will develop a custom treatment plan based on your skin type and the severity of wrinkles. In addition to quality Vivier Skin Care products, we may suggest a combination of the following in-clinic treatments utilizing cutting edge technology:

‍

1) PicoSure® Focus device as an alternative or added treatment, gives your skin a brightening pick-me-up! This rejuvenating treatment offers patients an array of skin-beautifying benefits in addition to diminished lines and  wrinkles including a reduction in sun damage, pigmented areas, and acne scars.

PicoSure® - This innovative skin rejuvenation treatment is non-invasive, requires minimal downtime and has guaranteed results. As the world’s first, fastest, safest and most effective picosecond laser technology, PicoSure® uses ultra-short and fast bursts of laser light energy to penetrate the surface of the skin, gently targeting pigmentation or abrasions, encouraging the body’s natural healing process to sweep away older, damaged tissue and rebuild it with new collagen and elastin. This is accomplished without causing any damage to the surrounding tissue.

PicoSure® treatment sessions are quick and effective, taking as little as 30 minutes or less, depending on the size of the targeted area. Little to no downtime is experienced with PicoSure® as the laser does not break the surface of the skin or cause any lasting harm. Noticeable results will be apparent as early as the first treatment, but following your clinic professional’s advice, it may take up to 3-7 consistent sessions to achieve your desired result.

2)  Medical Grade Chemical Facial Peels rejuvenate and refine the look of your skin. They work by removing the outermost layer of skin, causing immediate gratification by diminishing imperfections. Peels effectively combat acne, reduce pore size, dullness, blotchiness, age and sun spots, hyperpigmentation, and improve the look of fine lines and wrinkles. Peels can be used as a stand alone treatment or as a part of a customized treatment plan for more dramatic effect when combined with other treatments or procedures.We offer two types of medical grade chemical peels from the leaders in skincare to help you look and feel your best. First, the minimally invasive yet very effective Vivier® Peel, which is ideal for sensitive skin. The second type, the Jessner Peel, is the most intense which is especially effective for those most concerned about hyperpigmentation, sun damage, acne and scarring.

3) Potenza takes RF microneedling to new levels. The versatility this system provides allows us to customize your treatments based on your specific needs – all skin types, anywhere on the body, any time of the year. The industry gold standard for skin tightening, toning, acne scarring improvement, surgical scar improvement, cystic acne treatment, mommy tummy makeover, underarm tightening, and improving the look of cellulite.

Pre-treatment/Post treatment Instructions - PicoSure®

Precautions to take before your light-based treatment:

• No sun exposure, tanning beds and sunless tanning cream for 4 weeks prior to treatment. Sun exposure decreases the effectiveness of the laser treatment and can increase the chance of Post treatment complications.
  

• Use a broad spectrum UVA/UVB sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher. Apply to the treated area every 2 hours when exposed to the sun and it is recommended to make this a part of your skin care routine.
