Laser Genesis

Laser Genesis utilizes advanced, non-invasive laser technology to safely and effectively treat premature signs of aging, including: fine lines, large pores, uneven skin texture, diffuse redness, and even scarring. Laser Genesis has been scientifically proven to stimulate new collagen growth by gently heating the upper dermis. Our sophisticated Cutera® XEO Genesis laser is not associated with any downtime or post-procedure redness, which is typical with many other types of laser procedures. The individual treatment results may be subtle, but the overall effect of a series of treatments can be quite dramatic. Can be combined with microdermabrasion or chemical peel treatments.
Recommended treatments: 3 – 6

Solar & Photo Genesis

Utilizing Intense Pulsed Light (IPL), Solar & Photo Genesis are innovative ways to quickly, safely, and comfortably reduce or eliminate the red and brown pigmentation that occurs on the skin from years of sun exposure or from rosacea. The brown-colored "sun spots" or "age spots" will simply flake off or be absorbed, leaving youthful, healthy looking skin in its place. Redness from rosacea will gradually fade, bringing out a healthy glow. The face, chest, shoulders, and arms are the most common areas for treatment because they have typically had the most sun exposure. Both discrete spots and skin densely covered with freckles or diffuse redness respond well to treatment.
Recommended treatments: 3 – 5

Laser Hair Removal

Now men and women alike are making unwanted facial and body hair a thing of the past – thanks to the Cutera® CoolGlide Laser system. Say, "Goodbye!" to painful waxing, electrolysis, or razors. Our laser has been FDA cleared for permanent hair reduction and can treat men and women of all skin types safely and effectively. Most patients will require 5 – 8 sessions per treatment area; however, the number of treatments required for optimal long-term benefits depends on multiple factors – hair thickness, the area treated, and the hair's growth cycle at the time of treatment. Interestingly, not all of the hairs are actively growing at the same time. They go through three distinct phases: growth, regression, and resting. The laser disables the hair that is in the active growth phase at the time of treatment, which is why a series of treatments is necessary.

Laser Vein Therapy

Thanks to the latest in laser technology, treating unsightly facial and leg veins no longer requires painful injections. Using a longer laser wavelength, our Cutera® CoolGlide system safely treats people of all skin types. Small facial veins, superficial leg veins ("spider veins"), and hemangiomas ("blood blisters") are ideal candidates. Large, deep, and knotty varicose veins do not respond as well. Dr. Fenske and Anthony will carefully examine you to help you determine which vessels can be successfully treated and the best course of treatment. Usually one treatment is all that is needed.

Titan^TM Skin-Tightening

The Cutera® Titan™ procedure gives you an all-natural option to enhance skin tone. Titan uses infrared energy to heat the dermis deep beneath your skin's surface. This allows for a more uniform distribution of energy than with other energy sources, such as RF (radio-frequency). Collagen remodeling is long lasting. The most common areas treated are the jawline, under the chin, arms, and abdomen.
Recommended treatment: 3 – 6
