Fractional Non-Ablative Skin Resurfacing (wrinkle and acne scar reduction)
We pioneered and patented the process of using fractional microbeams of laser energy for skin rejuvenation. With little to no downtime for patients, our Lux1540TM Fractional Laser Handpiece delivers non-ablative skin resurfacing with high efficacy and comfort, for a real "wow!" result.

Mechanism of Action:
Our fractional non-ablative skin resurfacing uses an array of up to 470 high-precision microbeams to create narrow, deep columns (over 1mm deep) of tissue coagulation in the epidermis and dermis, while leaving the stratum corneum (outer layer of skin) in place and dermal tissue surrounding the coagulated columns unaffected.
These columns of coagulation stimulate the body's natural healing response, and cause new, healthy tissue to form. There is minimal redness and discomfort, allowing the patient to return to their daily activities immediately

Advantages:
• Our Fractional Non-Ablative Skin Resurfacing delivers penetrating uniform microbeams in a simple treatment approach, without the need for time-consuming and costly preparation and clean-up.
• Fractional Non-Ablative Skin Resurfacing requires little to no downtime, providing efficacious results for hard-working, "on the go" patients.

Fractional Skin Tightening (reduces wrinkles)
Through our pioneering work in deep heating, our patented approach to fractional delivery, and our proprietary cooling, specturm, timing, and other technologies, our LuxDeepIRTM Fractional Infrared Handpiece safely delivers more effective heat to greater depths, for superior skin tightening

Mechanism of Action:
Skin Tightening through Soft Tissue Coagulation uses columns of infrared light, extending up to 6mm into the skin, to create islands of deep heating. These heated columns coagulate tissue in the dermis and hypodermis, yet preserves the epidermis.
The body's natural healing response generates new tissue, thereby reducing skin laxity and causing the skin to appear tighter.

Advantages:
• Our patented cooling technology and integrated contact sensors safely allows for significantly higher fluences, for better patient results.
• Skin Tightening through Soft Tissue Coagulation does not require costly disposables, promoting brief preparation and clean-up times.
• The depth of heating can be matched to different anatomical sites, allowing you to customize the treatment for the needs of your patients.
• Skin Tightening through Soft Tissue Coagulation requires no downtime, providing efficacious results for hard-working, "on the go" patients.

IPL Photo Facials
Palomar’s unparalleled commitment to R&D allowed us to pioneer the use of pulsed light for photorejuvenation. Our proprietary AccuSpectrumSM dual-filtering technology provides for wavelength-specific treatments, delivering results clinically proven to be as good as or better than the “gold standard” lasers. The LuxGTM pulsed light handpiece clears vascular and pigmented lesions with high efficacy and superior patient comfort.

Mechanism of Action:
Our photorejuvenation process uses the optimal wavelength of light to clear vascular and pigmented lesions by targeting hemoglobin (for vascular lesions) and melanin (for pigmented lesions). Once the light is absorbed as heat by the lesion, the lesion disappears.

Advantages:
• Photorejuvenation is effective on the face, arms, chest, and other large body areas, with no patient downtime.
• Our process can remove damage caused by years of sun exposure and minimize the effects of aging.

Results:

IPL addresses a wide variety of skin conditions without any downtime afterwards. It is used for:
• Sun damage (face, chest, shoulders)
• Skin texture and large pores
• Broken capillaries
• Brown and age spots
• Dark circles around the eyes
• Fine lines and wrinkles

Pigmented Lesions
Through our patented innovations, including Smooth PulseSM technology, our LuxGTM, LuxYTM, LuxYsTM, and LuxVTM pulsed light handpieces can safely deliver optimally-filtered wavelengths of pulsed light to clear pigmented lesions with superior patient comfort – with results as good as or better than the single-application “gold standard” lasers.

Mechanism of Action:
Specially filtered bands of light target the melanin in pigmented lesions, where the light is converted into heat. This heating selectively destroys the pigmented lesion, which is sloughed away, clearing the lesion within two weeks.

Advantages:
• Specific wavelengths of light can target pigmented lesions on most skin types.
• Our handpieces can quickly treat large areas of the body with little discomfort and no downtime.

Results:

Hair Removal
We pioneered the use of lasers for hair removal – and then devoted industry-leading R&D efforts in developing pulsed light for hair removal, producing results clinically-proven to be as good as or better than single-application “gold standard” lasers. Our LuxYTM, LuxYsTM, LuxRTM, and LuxRsTM pulsed light handpieces perform permanent hair reduction with increased speed, due to their large spot sizes, and superior efficacy, with our patented Photon RecyclingSM and Advanced Contact CoolingSM technologies.

Mechanism of Action:
Permanent hair removal is achieved when the cells responsible for growing new hair are disabled. Pulses of light at specific wavelengths can target the pigment in hair follicles, which absorb the light energy as heat.

Advantages:
• Specific wavelengths of light can target both finer and coarser hair as well as lighter hair, on all skin types.
• Different spot sizes and concentrations of power can treat large areas of hair as well as smaller areas, such as underarms and bikini lines.

Results:

Vascular Lesions
Our patented dual-filter AccuSpectrumSM technology allows our LuxGTM pulsed light handpiece to safely deliver optimally-filtered wavelengths of pulsed light, with vessel clearance results as good as or better than the single-application “gold standard” lasers

Mechanism of Action:
To clear vascular lesions, a specific wavelength of light is absorbed by the blood, which damages the lesion. The damaged lesion eventually disappears, removing the appearance of the lesion from the skin.

Advantages:
• Light energy is delivered over a smooth pulse duration, keeping epidermal temperature lower for more comfortable treatments.
• With a spot size greater than any laser, you can treat patients more quickly while providing results as good as or better than the “gold standard” lasers.

Botox
Botox treatment is a popular non-surgical injection that temporarily reduces or eliminates frown lines, forehead creases, and crows feet near the eyes.

BOTOX® Cosmetic (Botulinum Toxin Type A)

Since the approval of BOTOX® Cosmetic by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in 2002, Allergan has virtually changed the face of medical aesthetics. Men and women between the ages of 18 to 65 now have the ability to choose science-based, non-invasive medical aesthetic solutions, including BOTOX® Cosmetic and the JUVÉDERM™ family of dermal fillers, to achieve their own natural results. Since its approval, BOTOX® Cosmetic has been the number-one physician-administered aesthetic procedure in the United States.
BOTOX® Cosmetic is a simple, non-surgical procedure for temporarily smoothing moderate to severe glabellar lines - the vertical frown lines between the eyebrows that look like an "11" - in adult women and men aged 18 to 65. BOTOX® Cosmetic relaxes the dominant facial muscles that cause the "11s" to form by blocking nerve impulses that trigger wrinkle-causing muscle contractions, creating a smoothed and improved appearance between the brows. Results can last up to four months and may vary with each patient. Ask your doctor if BOTOX® Cosmetic is right for you.

Important Safety Information
Serious heart problems and serious allergic reactions have been reported rarely in BOTOX® Cosmetic treatment. If you think you're having an allergic reaction or other unusual symptoms, such as difficulty swallowing, speaking or breathing, call your doctor immediately.
The most common side effects following injection include temporary eyelid droop and nausea. Localized pain, infection, inflammation, tenderness, swelling, redness, and/or bleeding/bruising may be associated with the injection. Patients with certain neuromuscular disorders such as ALS, myasthenia gravis, or Lambert-Eaton syndrome may be at increased risk of serious side effects. BOTOX® Cosmetic is administered by physicians and is available only by prescription.

Restylane and Perlane
Restylane® or Perlane® are cosmetic dermal fillers that replace lost volume and restore youthful contours to the skin to smooth away moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds, such as the lines from your nose to the corners of your mouth (nasolabial folds). Restylane is the world's most used, most studied dermal filler, and has been used in over 70 countries and in more than 1.4 million treatments in the U.S.
Restylane® and Perlane®: Long-lasting for about six months
If you're considering treatment for your facial wrinkles and folds, we invite you to learn important facts about Restylane® and Perlane®, including how they provide structural support and lift to nasolabial folds. In this section, you'll learn where Restylane or Perlane can be used and see examples of how either treatment can help you reach your goal of a more youthful appearance. The procedure is non-surgical, and its effects are virtually instantaneous.

Who Can Provide Mesotherapy?
Not all Mesotherapists are alike. Mesotherapy should be performed by an MD or DO who has ACCME Approved Continuing Medical Education Credits (CME's). A nurse or physician assistant should not administer Mesotherapy without the MD or DO being present. Patients should seek a Mesotherapist trained by the Bissoon Institute of Mesotherapy. Beware of false or misleading claims, and steer clear of unaccredited practitioners. If you are considering Mesotherapy, ask your physician for a list of medications to be used, and verify that the person has received proper training.

Mesotherapy
What is Mesotherapy?
Mesotherapy is a medical specialty that involves injecting microscopic quantities of natural extracts, homeopathic agents, pharmaceuticals and vitamins into the skin. It can be used to eliminate cellulite, promote weight loss, treat aging skin and redundant (sagging) skin, and rejuvenate the hands and neck.

What are the benefits of Mesotherapy over surgical techniques such as liposuction?
Liposuction does not treat cellulite. In fact, liposuction often causes existing cellulite to appear more prominent. Mesotherapy treats cellulite directly, promoting smoother skin and reducing fat in selected areas. Fat deposits are flushed from the body, and do not reappear in other areas, which often occurs after liposuction. Mesotherapy does not require hospitalization, general anesthesia or downtime.

Which cosmetic conditions can Mesotherapy treat?
Although Mesotherapy is used to treat a broad spectrum of injuries, illnesses and medical conditions, it is also employed to treat cosmetic conditions, including acne, cellulite, stretch marks, scars and wrinkles. It can also be used to reduce and contour fat.

How does Mesotherapy reduce or eliminate cellulite and fat?
Mesotherapy treats three factors involved in cellulite formation. Your doctor creates a specific formula to reduce the fat in your cellulite, improve impaired circulation and break down damaged connective tissue - thereby smoothing the skin's surface. Mesotherapy can treat cellulite located anywhere on the body.

What are Mesotherapy's anti-aging and skin rejuvenation uses?
Subdermal vitamin injections rejuvenate the cells, making them more active, and thereby stimulating the production of collagen and elastin. You can begin anti-aging treatments in your mid twenties to prevent wrinkles from forming. Treatments for the face, neck, arms and hands are recommended several times each year.

How does Mesotherapy promote weight loss and spot reduction?
Our customized formula prevents cells from storing fat, and helps break down existing fat cells. Spot reduction targets double chins, love handles and any other areas displaying fat pockets.

Skin becomes bright and rejuvenated with lightening of spots and brown areas in just 1-4 weeks. Cosmelan® is also highly effective in treating acne by reducing the amount of oil that is produced by the oil glands.
Cosmelan® Depigmentation Treatment is preformed in two parts:
Office Treatment (Cosmelan 1) – The surface of the skin is thoroughly cleansed to remove any dead cells and oily residue. A facial mask is then applied under the physician’s supervision. The time required for the cream to act completely will be determined based on your skin type and the severity of the discoloration. The day following the office treatment your skin will be slightly reddened – much like a mild sunburn – and you will experience some flaking and peeling. Some people experience stinging, itching, and a tightening feeling. This is normal, and may be alleviated by using the Hydra Vital Factor K Cream that will be provided.
