The Forma is our body contouring procedure. It can be used in multiple places on the body and it is radiofrequency. It is used to tighten loose skin and improve texture and irregularities. It can be used on the face, neck, abdomen, and love handles to name a few.
Forma uses radio-frequency technology to provide optimal skin contraction in the deep layers of your skin. Radio-frequency energy will stimulate the formation of new collagen and improve skin elasticity for long-lasting improvement.
Forma was developed based on the clinical success of the proprietary A.C.E. (Acquire, Control, Extend) technology. A.C.E. technology uses radio-frequency energy to target deep layers of the skin, with no area being under or over treated. This ensures maximum and consistent results.
Forma is suitable for all skin types and is appropriate for individuals seeking a non-invasive and a natural looking approach to improvements in skin tone and texture irregularities. Patients have reported that their skin feels smoother and more defined, as well as reductions in wrinkles.
Forma can be used on both the face and body. Commonly treated areas on the face with Forma include: forehead, crows feet, upper eyelids, lower eyelids, nasolabial folds, jowls, chest, elbows knees, smile lines and neck.
Forma is an essentially painless procedure with no downtime due to its precise technology and deep-layer targeting of the skin. Slight redness in the treatment area is common post-procedure, which subsides within a few hours.
It is recommended that weekly sessions are performed over a six-week period. Individuals with mild laxity may be treated in fewer sessions with more weeks between each treatment. Scheduling should be based on a medical pre-evaluation.
Yes, Forma can be used in combination with most other laser treatments, facials, injectables and/or filler. Please speak to your aesthetic provider when considering combining Forma with other treatments
Lumecca is the most powerful intense pulsed light (IPL) to treat pigmented and vascular lesions. After just one use, patients notice significant improvements in the complexion and clarity of the skin. Lumecca operates using photothermolysis, which provides a photofacial through the delivery of a comfortable light treatment.
In just 1-3 sessions Lumecca improves the appearance of:
Age spots (red/brown pigmentations)
Vascular lesions such as facial telangiectasias (spider veins) and poikiloderma
Rosacea (redness)
Freckles
Sun damage
Lumecca can be used on all areas of the body. The most common areas of treatment are zones that are regularly exposed to the sun. This often includes the face, neck, décolletage, legs, hands and arms.
Avoid direct, excessive sun exposure or tanning one month prior to treatment.
During treatment there will be a bright flash of light from the Lumecca that feels like a light elastic sensation. Redness and a slight warming of the skin are normal after treatment and usually subsides within an hour. Over the next 24-48 hours you may see a darkening of pigmented spots; in the week afterwards the pigmented lesions flake off, leading to an evening out of skin tone. After treating vascular lesions you may see the vein blanch and disappear or a color change in the vessel which dissipates after a few days..
An improved skin appearance can be noted after the first session. Multiple sessions provide even better results. Treatment regime depends on the severity of skin damage, skin type, type of treatment (vascular vs sun damage) and energy settings.
Sun damage and skin complexion results can be seen a few days after the first session. The skin will continue to look younger and more brilliant over time with most visible results after 1-2 weeks. Having multiple photofacial sessions will improve the final result. For vascular treatments such as facial telangiectasias, results can be seen in up to 2 weeks.
Most patients do not experience any side effects and any skin reaction usually resolves within a few hours. Patients may find they are sensitive to sunlight immediately after treatment. It is recommended to avoid direct sunlight and tanning.
Medical-grade peels are a great option for patients wanting to reverse sun damage or other minor imperfections. They are performed by a Medical Aesthetician, who has had experience with . Peels also work to repair and nourish the skin. Just one application will remove dead skin cells, refine pores, diminish fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin hyperpigmentation, and treat acne/scars. It is a safe and effective treatment for all skin types.
From teenagers prone to acne to adults who suffer from unwanted dark spots, uneven skin tone, rough skin texture, large pores and sagging skin. We offer four types of peels to treat skin disorders and restore skin health. If you are interested, please call us to schedule a complementary consultation with our Medical Aesthetician in order to see which peel is recommended.

Morpheus8 is a device that combines microneedling with radiofrequency technology for fractional resurfacing that stimulates collagen production. By targeting the deeper layers of the skin, the building blocks will reorganize themselves in a natural anti-aging process. There is little to no damage to the dermis and this procedure provides an extremely uniform effect.
Morpheus8 can be used on any areas that can benefit from sub-dermal renewal. Areas of the face and body that exhibit wrinkles, discoloration or acne scarring are suitable for treatment. The most commonly treated areas include the face and neck, as well as the abdomen which is beneficial for tightening loose skin with underlying fatty tissue.
Depending on your Morpheus8 treatment regime you can expect to have between 1-3 sessions
Fractionated RF energy is a scientifically proven method to reduce wrinkles and rebuild collagen and fat. It is minimally invasive, using a matrix of micro pins to renew deeper layers of the skin with almost no patient downtime.
The benefit of Morpheus8’s color blind technology is that it can be used on all skin types. The unique properties allow even darker tones to be treated with little risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, which is common with other resurfacing methods.
Yes, Morpheus8 can be combined with Stem Cells for optimal results.
Since patient downtime is minimal, makeup can be applied 1 to 2 days after the treatment. Patients should expect to see micro lesions a few days after treatment and slight redness for up to 1 week depending on treatment parameters.
Patients should moisturize the treatment area and avoid direct sun exposure. It is also recommended that patients use a good, broad spectrum sunscreen every day. In addition to reducing their future risk of skin cancer, sunscreens also reduce wrinkles and slow the aging process.
Low-level-light therapy or photobiomodulation is based on Light Emitting Diode(LED) technology and is the application of light energy to the body fortherapeutic benefits. It promotes a natural photobiochemical reaction similar tothe process of plant photosynthesis. The energy delivered by the LEDs has beenshown to enhance cellular metabolism, accelerate the repair and replenishmentof damaged skin cells, as well as stimulate the production of collagen — thefoundation of healthy, smooth skin. Research has shown that LED light therapymay help smooth skin texture, improve skin firmness and resilience, increaselymphatic system activity, restore skin’s natural cellular activity, and reduce theappearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and superficial hyperpigmentation. Thetreatment is for all skin types, and is non-ablative, non-invasive, painless, andrequires absolutely no downtime. Patients or clients can return to their normalactivity immediately after the treatment.
LED devices are considered extremely low risk when used as intended.
Low-level-light therapy is based on light emitting diode (LED) technologydeveloped for NASA-manned space flight experiments. In comparison to lasers,the patented LED technology generates negligible amounts of heat and is notconsidered a significant risk device.
Based on extensive research, low-level-light therapy devices have been cleared by the FDA, and shown to manage:Mild to moderate acne vulgarisSuperficial, benign vascular and pigment lesionsPeriorbital wrinkles and rhytidesSub-optimal local blood flow and circulationMinor muscle and joint achesMinor muscle and joint painPain and stiffness associated with arthritisMinor arthritis or muscle spasmsMinor chronic neck and shoulder pain of a musculoskeletal origin
No. Light Therapy is non-invasive and is painless when used as intended.
Yes. You may resume all normal activities immediately following use.
No. Celluma utilizes a combination of blue, red, and near-infrared (not visible tothe naked eye) light emitting diodes (LEDs) only
Thirty Minutes. Celluma should be in close proximity to the area being treated. Skin should also be free of clothing, makeup, or anything else that may deflect light away from the skin.
Many makeup formulas contain minerals that may deflect light. Clean, freshly washed skin is recommended for best results.
No. You can use Celluma while sitting or lying down. For example, there are two ways to use Celluma when targeting the lower-back region: sitting comfortably in a chair with Celluma curved horizontally around the lower back area, or lying down with the device placed on the lower-back region. The Celluma may also be placed vertically on the spine following the natural curvature of the body. The key benefit of its design is the unique ability to mold its shape to conform to the profile of the body. Do not lie directly on top, lean against or apply full body weight to the device.
The best position is the one that is most comfortable for the user. The user should be either seated or lying comfortably with adequate support. Never strain or twist in order to use the device. Instead, mold the device to the desired body part. For arms or legs, Celluma may be wrapped around the body part. Once positioned, sit back, relax, watch TV, use your laptop, or take a nap.
Position Celluma as close to your skin as possible, the closer the better. One key advantage to Celluma is its patented flexible design, which allows for close positioning to the skin, and may lead to more effective results.
