Lamprobe Treatments

Klara and Angela — Wed, 16 May 2012 21:58:33 +0000

Lamprobe uses a high frequency technology which helps to remove those unsightly minor skin irregularities that bother us.
The Lamprobe works on the principle of liquids being attracted to heat which is released by various probes. The procedure is non-invasive and treatments are very quick (some within a few seconds), and may not even touch the skin’s surface Small skin tags or blood spots disappear immediately and hyperpigmented areas such as liver or “age spots” take only a few seconds. There is minimal discomfort and healing time is short, from a day or two for skin tags to a few weeks for larger skin abnormalities such as fibromas.

Minor Skin Irregularities Effectively Treated Are:
• Whiteheads (milias),
• Blackheads (comedones)
• Fibromas (pigmented epidermal growths)
• Broken capillaries
• Cherry Angiomas
• Pimples
• Skin Tags that are prevalent on the neck and décolleté area.

Using Acids with Microdermabrasion

Klara and Angela — Tue, 13 Mar 2012 10:00:31 +0000

Peel into a New Skin

Using Acids with Microdermabrasion can be controversial.I have found from my own experience working with acne, sun damaged and oily skin to be very effective treatment. Microdermabrasion removes the outermost layer of dead skins cells on the face, chest, and neck or anywhere on the body.The skin’s surface is disrupted; cell division occurs which stimulates fibroblast activity leading to collagen which leads to thicker, firmer skin .The newly polished skin is more accepting of acids for further exfoliation, vitamins and minerals for nutrition, lighteners to tone away hyperpigmentation, and hydrators to moisturize. In 2010, microdermabrasion was one of the top 5 non-surgical procedures for men and women according to the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery.
Microdermabrasion treatments are recommended every 2 weeks in a series of 6 for correction and every 4–8 weeks for maintenance or prevention.

Effective Acne Removal Treatment Is Here

Klara and Angela — Tue, 06 Mar 2012 10:00:56 +0000

Effective alternative to daily pills and creams

Acne is a common condition characterized by obstructed sebaceous glands, pimples and sometimes deeper cysts or nodules that occur on the face, neck, chest, back, shoulders and upper arms. Acne begins in adolescence and usually affects most teenagers at some time. However, adults too can suffer with acne. When severe, acne can often result in scarring. Even less severe cases can lead to scarring, if not properly treated.

Until recently, patients with persistent, moderate acne have been treated with only topical or sometimes systemic antibiotics. Recent studies have demonstrated, however, that certain discrete spectra can trigger endogenic porphyrins that naturally destroy P. acnes bacteria — and in just a fraction of the time it typically takes for antibiotics to work. Within eight brief acne laser treatments, over just four weeks, Harmony^®XL‘s AFT can provide significant improvement. This is three times faster than common antibiotics and topical. Patients should achieve 80% clearance and treatments for acne take only a few minutes.

Technology in use

Clear inflammatory acne lesions without drugs or undesirable side effects using the Harmony^XL AFT laser handpiece. Intense blue wavelengths in the range of 420-950 nm target the porphyrins produced as part of the normal metabolism of P. acnes bacteria. The interaction of the intense blue light and the porphyrins creates singlet oxygen that rapidly destroys the bacteria without damaging the surrounding tissue.

Key advantages for patients

Quicker results than pharmaceuticals
Safe treatment with 80% acne clearance on average
8 easy treatments instead of daily pills or creams

Laser skin treatments for wrinkles, rosacea & more!

Klara and Angela — Tue, 28 Feb 2012 14:29:59 +0000

As the baby boomer generation continues to age, the popularity of aesthetic procedures that aim to turn back the clock continues to skyrocket. Brown spots, broken capillaries and other fallout from photoaging are easy targets for laser systems that use broadband light to repair these defects through a process called photorejuvenation. Additionally, facial wrinkles can now be treated non-ablatively, contributing to a more youthful appearance. Using relatively low-energy, short-pulse broadband light, imperfections such as erythema of rosacea, superficial telangiectasia, dyschromia, age spots and other discolored signs of photoaging can be gently heated and eliminated, replaced by newer, younger looking skin. Patients prefer AFT treatments from Alma Lasers’ Harmony®XL (part of Alma’s consumer-friendly Laser360 skin rejuvenation procedures) because each treatment is gentle with no downtime. In fact, laser skin treatments for wrinkles and other signs of aging can be done during a lunch hour and no one will notice any sign of treatment, just a gradual improvement in the skin’s appearance.

Technology in use
AFT is the next generation of intense pulsed light. It takes formerly unused short-wavelength light and converts it into part of the usable spectrum through a special filtering system. It increases emission and penetration for safer and more effective treatments.
AFT also delivers Equally Distributed Fluence, which means that every pulse has uniform energy density across the entire output face. This fluence ensures repeatable results and remarkable safety. AFT yields a more efficient system for ideal clinical improvements, less discomfort and minimal skin damage.

Key advantages for patients
• Reduce the signs of aging with a quick, 20-minute procedure
• The “no downtime” procedure makes it perfect for lunch breaks
• Treatment leads to continued effects over time

Laser Hair Removal – Pain Free and Hair Free! It Is Possible!

Klara and Angela — Mon, 14 Nov 2011 10:13:00 +0000

It is finally here, a way to get rid of hair without the pain, irritation, and wasting your time! Alma Lasers Pain-Free, Hair-Free method of Laser Hair Removal combines cutting-edge medical laser technology with the comfort and convenience of a trip to the med spa. The breakthrough, revolutionary technology has been described as one of the most comfortable hair removal options available. Unlike other Laser Hair Removal machines that are painful and feel like a rubber-band snapped on your skin, Alma Lasers feature a FDA-approved state of the art technology and the patented IN-MOTION technique that creates virtually painless laser hair removal.

This IN Motion technique safely and gently heats the targeted area. Pulses of energy gradually heat the follicles in the skin’s sub dermal layer. An additional cooling mechanism further ensures the surface of your skin stays cool and comfortable throughout your treatment. Now keep in mind pain tolerance is subjective but this new technology has been compared to a hot-stone massage. Instead of delivering massive amounts of heat to kill the hair follicle like most Laser Hair Removal technologies which causes pain, burning and/or blistering, Pain Free, Hair Free delivers low levels of heat with a fast delivery. This is why pain will be eliminated and the risks of side effects can be minimized! In addition to it being Pain Free, it will not take up much of your time; because of the fast delivery of low levels of heat treatments take 5-15 minutes for a small body part area and 30-45 minutes for a larger body area such as a man’s back!

No more Shaving! No more Waxing! No more Plucking!
Pain Free, Hair Free Laser Hair Removal by Alma Lasers is the latest technology and it is available at our location today
