Facial Lines and Wrinkles
Dysport
Prescription Dysport is an injection used to temporarily improve the look of moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows (glabellar lines) in adults less than 65 years of age.
Dysport is a purified formulation that has been shown to deliver temporary improvements in moderate to severe frown lines, even with repeat treatments. So, the effect of repeat treatment with Dysport may be comparable to your first use.*
BOTOX® Cosmetic
After years of squinting, laughing, frowning, smoking, and worrying, the skin around the eyes and on the forehead develops deep lines and wrinkles often referred to as "expression lines." A common concern is that they make us look older, tired, or stressed. Not to worry, expression lines and advanced furrows can be quickly and significantly reduced using BOTOX® Cosmetic.
What is BOTOX® Cosmetic?
BOTOX® Cosmetic is a therapeutic muscle-relaxing agent derived from a bacterium called Clostridium Botulinum. For over a decade, ophthalmologists have employed BOTOX® Cosmetic for its original intention; the treatment of blepharospasm (abnormal blinking or eyelid tic). Physicians also have been utilizing BOTOX® Cosmetic for years as a cosmetic treatment for correcting visible signs of stress and aging.
Juvéderm™
As we age, our skin changes and the natural volume of youthful skin begins to diminish as wrinkles and folds form. But, with Juvéderm™ you don't have to let it happen! Juvéderm™ results are longer-lasting than those obtained from other wrinkle reducers, including collagen and fat injections.
Who are candidates for Juvéderm™?
Juvéderm™ may be good for patients who wish to fill in those deep folds around the nose or creases in the face. Some people can use it to plump their lips. Juvéderm™ can also be used on the fine lines around the eyes.
Perlane®
Perlane® is a cosmetic dermal filler that is used to soften wrinkles and facial lines. It is also a popular filler for lips, facial depressions, and facial scarring. It can be used on both females and males.
Perlane® is a long lasting cosmetic filler that provides dramatic results for improving the appearance of facial lines, wrinkles, and folds. This is a non-surgical solution to soften facial lines and wrinkles, restore volume and fullness to the skin, plump up lips, and fill in scars. Perlane® is injected into the lips and can give back fullness to lips that have receded. The cosmetic results are visible immediately, bestowing you with a more youthful and invigorated look.
What is advantage of Perlane®?
Collagen injections were once very a popular injection, but are now obsolete in most cosmetic clinics. The availability of better, safer and longer lasting products have entirely replaced collagen. Perlane® is not only safer but also lasts longer than collagen as a dermal filler.
Restylane®
Facial lines and wrinkles are caused by a gradual breakdown of the body's collagen and the elastin fibers in the skin. No one is immune from experiencing this normal aging process. Squinting, frowning and smiling also inflict stress on the underlying collagen in the skin and accelerate the formation of these furrows. Until recently, injectable collagen was the most widely used available cosmetic filler to improve the appearance of these lines.
Restylane® vs. Collagen
Restylane® has been demonstrated to last much longer than the standard bovine collagen injection. The occurrence of an allergic reaction is extremely rare due to the product's non-animal associated basis. Unlike injectable collagen filler that is made of bovine protein and can cause an allergic reaction in some patients, Restylane® is a natural substance, hyaluronic acid, which is a sugar molecule already present naturally in the human body. The hyaluronic acid in Restylane® is similar to that found throughout your body, which gives volume and fullness to the skin. It is both biodegradable and compatible with human hyaluronic acid. Because of this compatibility it is not necessary for you to be tested for skin sensitivity.
Radiesse®
Facial lines and wrinkles are caused by a gradual breakdown of the body's collagen and the elastin fibers in the skin. No one is immune from experiencing this normal aging process. Squinting, frowning and smiling also inflict stress on the underlying collagen in the skin and accelerate the formation of these furrows. Until recently, injectable collagen was the most widely used available cosmetic filler to improve the appearance of these lines.
Radiesse® is a long lasting cosmetic filler that provides dramatic results for improving the appearance of facial lines, wrinkles and folds. This is a non-surgical solution to soften facial lines and wrinkles, restore volume and fullness to the skin, plump up lips, and fill in scars. Radiesse® injected into the lips can give back fullness to lips that have receded.
What is Radiesse®?
Radiesse® is long-lasting liquid injectable filler made from calcium hydroxylapatite, which is a component found in bone and teeth. Unlike collagen, which is made of animal bovine, no pretests are required to determine if you will experience any side effects or allergic reaction. Radiesse® is not absorbed by your body, thus the advantage it offers over collagen is its ability to last for years.
How many treatments will I need?
The cosmetic results you desire and the area to be treated will influence the number of treatments necessary. Typically one treatment is sufficient. Since Radiesse® is not absorbed by your body, results are long lasting and visible immediately following the treatment, leaving you with a more youthful appearance.
Laser Skin Rejuvenation
Titan™
The new Cutera® Titan™ gives you an all-natural option to enhance skin tone. Titan™ uses light energy to heat the dermis deep beneath your skin's surface. Without surgery, recovery time, or injections, Titan™ is an ideal solution for your face, neck, arms, and abdomen.
Titan™ utilizes a safe infrared light to heat the dermis well below the skin's surface. During the procedure, the skin's top surface (epidermis) is protected through continuous cooling with the Titan™ handpiece. Typical number of treatments range from 2-3 sessions depending upon severity of lax skin.
Laser Genesis
Laser Genesis skin therapy is an innovative, technologically advanced way to promote vibrant and healthy looking skin in men and women.

3D Skin Rejuvenation
Skin Rejuvenation™ exclusively from Cutera, offers LimeLight, Laser Genesis and Titan®, resulting in noticeably improved skin tone, texture and tightness.
Every person ages at a different rate and in different ways. Some develop redness, age or sun spots. Others have large pores, fine lines, wrinkles or lax skin. You may have one, two or all of these conditions. Cutera's 3D Skin Rejuvenation takes a three-tiered approach to rejuvenating your skin for all of these conditions.
LimeLight is a light-based procedures which address problems right at the skin's surface - redness, mottled complexions, freckles and sun damage.
Laser Genesis utilizes a laser to soften fine lines and wrinkles, shrink pores and decrease or eliminate redness found deeper in the epidermis. Laser Genesis has been proven to stimulate the creation of new collagen, giving your face a more youthful appearance.
Titan is the newest category for skin fitness. The Titan uses infrared light to heat tissue in the deep dermis. This procedure helps to tighten lax skin in the jaw line, forehead, cheeks, and neck areas.
Vein Therapy
Sclerotherapy
Not all veins can be treated with the laser vein therapy. For an alternate solution we offer sclerotherapy, which can help the more noticeable veins. Pregnancy, prolonged standing, and heredity are the primary causes of unsightly and often painful varicose and spider veins. As we age, previously unseen leg veins emerge and our existing veins become increasingly more noticeable. Most commonly, spider veins show up on the legs but can also appear on the face. However, there is a simple solution to this problem. It's a simple cosmetic procedure called Sclerotherapy!
Laser Vein Therapy
The Cutera CoolGlide combines the ideal laser wavelength with the most flexible parameters to deliver a superior vascular laser system. It treats a broad range of vessels from tiny spider veins to deep blue reticular veins quickly, safely, and effectively. Patients with light or tanned skin can experience outstanding results with minimal bruising or blistering.
The Cutera CoolGlide systems deliver pulses of light energy which cause the blood within the vein to coagulate, eventually destroying the vessel which is later reabsorbed by your body. Blood flow will then be redirected to veins deeper below your skin's surface, where it should be.
Laser Vein Ablation
What is Laser Vein Ablation?
An ultrasound of the veins of the leg is performed. A thin laser fiber is inserted into the damaged vein. A highly concentrated beam of laser light is then emitted through the fiber, which eliminates and causes the abnormal vein to collapse. This procedure is a minimally invasive treatment that uses radiofrequency or laser energy to cauterize and close abnormally enlarged veins in the legs, a condition called varicose veins. In response, your body routes the blood to other healthy veins. This entire procedure only takes about 45 minutes.
How soon will results be evident, and will they last?
The procedure has an outstanding 97% record of success, with no reoccurrence in the veins that were treated. In some cases, follow-up procedures may be desired to obtain optimal aesthetic results.
Laser Hair Removal
Laser treatment is a non-invasive procedure used to permanently reduce unwanted hair and for long-term hair removal. Laser treatment can effectively eliminate undesired hair from all parts of the body. Unlike many other hair removal methods, laser treatment leaves your skin looking and feeling much smoother and softer.
What is treatment like?
Preliminary setup involves cleansing and shaving the area to be treateds. A laser is then directed toward the area and produces a beam of highly concentrated light. Without damaging the surrounding tissue, controlled pulses of light penetrate the skin and are absorbed by hair follicles. The heat generated in the process discourages and ultimately destroys the hair and its potential for regrowth. Post-treatment includes a cleanup of the treated area and the application of a sunblock. Large areas such those found on the back, shoulders, abdomen, and legs are rapidly treated. Smaller facial areas like the lip, chin, and beard can be treated in minutes.
Who are candidates for treatment?
Millions of men and women have been successfully treated. Treatment is customized according to hair color, texture, and the area being targeted. Treatment for most hair colors typically yields high levels of success and patient satisfaction. Treatment is effective on all skin types, including dark-skinned individuals of all ethnic origins.
