Photo Genesis
Blend & Brighten Your Complexion
A state-of-the-art Cutera intense pulsed light system (IPL) is used to erase superficial skin damage without disrupting the skin surface. The Limelight handpiece is capable of three different programs: one to erase fine veins and generalized redness, another to eliminate brown spots, and a third that can tackle BOTH problems. Photo Genesis can treat just about any area of the body safely, comfortably, and effectively -- without the need for messy gels or numbing creams. |

Laser Genesis
Reduce Wrinkles
By heating the dermis on a deeper level than Photo Genesis, Laser Genesis stimulates collagen regrowth. As new collagen builds up, stubborn wrinkles around the mouth, on the cheeks, and around the eyes start to soften. Redness (rosacea) also diminishes as Laser Genesis closes the dilated capillaries responsible for this condition. Laser Genesis can also improve the appearance of scars, including those caused by acne. The treatment feels relaxing and therapeutic and requires no topical anesthetics. The Cutera Laser Genesis uses the 1064 wavelength, making the treatment suitable for people of all colors, including those with darker skin. |

Titan™
Tighten Skin
Titan uses infrared light to heat the dermis well below the skin surface. For areas of the body starting to show skin laxity, such as the cheeks, jaws, neck, arms, and abdomen, Titan produces an immediate increase in skin tone and your results will continue to improve over several months! Diminish sagging jowls and “turkey necks” without the pain of other treatments such as Thermage. Titan can produce results that were once only obtained by dermal fillers or a facelift.

3D Skin Rejuvenation™
The Non-surgical Facelift
The most powerful combination of light and laser therapy addresses all of the most common conditions of aging: age spots, sun damage, fine lines and wrinkles, and lax and sagging skin. By combining Photo Genesis, Laser Genesis, and Titan, your skin will be treated at the superficial as well as the deeper layers. We may not be able to stop the passage of time, but with 3D Skin Rejuvenation, you will look as if you have! Treatments typically occur once every four weeks and are customized to your individual needs.

Injectables
BoTox®
BoTox® is an extremely dilute form of botulinum toxin, which, when injected into the muscle, weakens but does not paralyze them. Safe and efficacious, BoTox is the number one cosmetic procedure in the United States. Over 2 million treatments were given in 2005. To remove or reduce wrinkles that form between your brows, on your forehead, or around your eyes when you laugh, smile, or frown, BoTox® Cosmetic can work like magic. One ten minute treatment – a few tiny injections – will relax the muscles that cause those lines to form and keep them relaxed for up to four months. Rather than over-treating your skin with too many injections, our goal is to keep you looking like you…only younger! |
CosmoDerm®
CosmoDerm® is a bioengineered human collagen. Because it is a substance natural to the human body, no skin test is required. CosmoDerm® can be injected into any wrinkles that appear when the face is at rest. It is combined with the anesthetic lidocaine so requires no “pre-numbing” shots or nerve blocks. It is excellent at filling the deep lines that form your nose to the corners of your mouth, or between your brows. The effects last 50% longer than animal-derived collagen (Zyderm®): on average, expect about 4 months before correction starts to fade. |
Restylane®
Restylane® is cosmetic dermal filler made of non-animal derived hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid is a natural substance that already exists in the human body and provides volume and fullness to the skin. No allergy test is required for administration of Restylane®. The drug is FDA approved for treatment of facial wrinkles. It is also an excellent choice for restoring youthful fullness to the lips. For patient comfort, Restylane® is usually administered following a nerve block or local anesthetic. Some redness and swelling should be expected for 2 days after the procedure. Results last up to 6 months. |
ArteFill®
ArteFill® is designed to correct wrinkles known as “smile lines.” Unlike other temporary fillers, which are ultimately absorbed by the body, ArteFill® is not. Instead, it provides long-lasting results within one to two treatments. There is no need for ongoing frequent injections to maintain your results. The procedure is fairly quick and simple. A trained physician injects ArteFill® underneath the wrinkle, just above your skin’s layer of fat. You should notice results immediately. |
Skin Rejuvenation Packages
Lighten and Brighten
To revitalize and clear the skin of redness, sun damage, brown age spots, and uneven skin tone, we recommend coupling microdermabrasion with Photo Genesis. By removing the dead surface cells with microdermabrasion, the intense pulse light is able to penetrate more deeply and effectively. Best results are seen with a series of five treatments every three weeks. |
Refresh
Are you concerned about early fine wrinkles as well as pigmentation problems? Refresh is the package for you. While Photo Genesis evens your skin’s color, Laser Genesis works on a deeper level to rebuild collagen. We prime the skin with a microdermabrasion treatment, then alternate Laser Genesis with Photo Genesis every three weeks for a series of five treatments. A final microdermabrasion before the last Laser Genesis will leave you with smooth, youthful, even textured skin. |
Revive
Spent too much time in the sun? Concerned about deeper lines and wrinkles? The Revive package offers advanced therapy to correct rough texture, blotchy skin tone, and persistent wrinkles around the eyes and mouth. To rebuild your collagen, we will treat you 5 times with Laser Genesis, each treatment three weeks apart. For the first three treatment sessions, we will also treat your skin with Photo Genesis and microdermabrasion. At the end of 15 weeks, your skin will be positively glowing and radiant. |
Cosmelan®
Cosmelan is an incredibly safe and effective treatment for actinic keratosis caused by long term sun exposure and natural aging. It also effectively treats disorders characterized by excessive dark pigment production such as melasma (sometimes referred to as “pregnancy mask”). Because Cosmelan blocks the melanin creation process, it is invaluable for people of darker color and is far safer than an IPL treatment for clients with these skin types. Cosmelan is an effective acne treatment as well. The first dose must be administered by a medical professional and is then followed by daily in-home treatments. |
Laser Hair Removal
The Cutera CoolGlide laser is used to remove unwanted hair on skin of ALL colors – even tanned skin! Unlike other lasers, the CoolGlide can treat the fine hair on a woman’s upper lip, as well as the coarse hair on a man ’s back. It is also one of the most comfortable lasers on the market today. Because hair is only affected by the laser during its growth cycle, permanent hair reduction requires multiple treatment sessions. The number of treatments and interval between treatments varies with the specific area of the body and with your individual hair texture. |

Vein Therapy
Tired of those tiny red spider veins or those deeper blue reticular veins on your face or legs? The Cool Glide 1064 laser is the right wavelength to eliminate them -- on people of any color!
Note: All medical treatments are performed by a staff of certified physician assistants and registered nurse practitioners under the supervision of Dr. Donna Richardson, a physician with over 30 years of experience. |
