Fraxel SR-1500 – Fraxel Laser Treatment produces thousands of tiny but deep columns of treatment in your skin, known as Micro Thermal Zones. This treatment eliminates old epidermal pigmented cells. It also penetrates deeply into the dermis. Just as important, though, are the areas of skin the Fraxel laser leaves untouched.

V-Beam Perfecta – The V-Beam produces an intense but gentle burst of light that selectively destroys the blood vessels within the treated area, without damaging the surrounding tissue. Red veins respond better than blue veins and smaller vessels respond sooner than larger ones.

Smoothbeam – The Smoothbeam works by targeting acne's root cause, the overactive function of the sebaceous gland. The 1450nm wavelength of laser light emitted by the Smoothbeam is highly absorbed in water, which is the dominant chromophore or target in the sebaceous gland.

Q-Switched Ruby/Nd:Yag – You may be a candidate for Q-Switched Ruby/Nd:Yag Laser Treatment if you have unwanted brown pigment spots such as birthmarks and flat, brown moles. In addition, the Q-Switched Ruby/Nd:Yag Laser can also remove unwanted tattoos. The purpose of the Q-Switched Ruby/Nd:Yag Laser is to reduce or eliminate the appearance of unwanted pigment in the skin by using light to target the pigmented area and break it up.

CO2 / Erbium – CO2/Erbium was designed to remove superficial wrinkles from around the eyes, lips, forehead and cheeks, as well as deeper wrinkles seen in aging skin. Facial scars and sun-damaged skin are also excellent candidates for this treatment.

XTRAC® Excimer – The XTRAC® Excimer Laser by PhotoMedex is the latest technology to treat psoriasis, a skin disorder that also affects the joints.  Psoriasis is a chronic recurring condition that causes red, scaly patches to appear on the skin. These scaly patches are commonly called psoriatic plaques. XTRAC® uses a highly focused, intense beam of laser light to treat psoriatic plaques, while not affecting the healthy surrounding tissue.
