KTP Laser®
Long-pulsed KTP lasers have been used effectively for port-wine stains, rosacea, and poikiloderma, among others. Short-pulsed KTP lasers are effective for pigment and tattoo removal as well as rejuvenation.
KTP laser is a safe and effective modality for the treatment of superficial vascular lesions
During the treatment, you will be able to feel each pulse of the laser energy shine into your skin as it gently warms blood vessels. Most patients report their pain as being extremely mild, but certain areas may be more sensitive, like the upper lip and nose.
The KTP laser works on the principle of selective thermolysis. The selected wavelength of laser light is absorbed to a high degree by the target structure (called a chromophore) and is absorbed less by surrounding tissue. The skin chromophores targeted by the KTP laser are melanin and oxyhemoglobin.

Ultherapy®
Ultherapy® lifts the neck, chin, and brow, plus improves lines and wrinkles on the upper chest. It is a non-invasive treatment for natural-looking results and is FDA-cleared.
Ultherapy® is the only FDA-cleared, non-invasive procedure that lifts the neck, chin, and brow, and improves lines and wrinkles on the upper chest. Through ultrasound imaging with Ultherapy®, energy is delivered precisely to the place where it will benefit you most—for natural-looking results that improve over time.
Ultherapy® relies on ultrasound therapy to go deeper than other non-invasive treatments for collagen stimulation. And it leverages traditional ultrasound imaging so our providers can see the layers of tissue they are treating. This ensures the treatment energy is delivered to where it benefits you most.
Only Ultherapy® is FDA-cleared to non-invasively lift skin on the neck, under the chin, and on the brow—and also improve lines and wrinkles on the décolletage! No wonder we’ve delivered more than a million treatments worldwide.
For those who are not ready for a surgical facelift, Ultherapy® provides proven results in a single treatment for most patients. Learn how to treat your loose skin without surgery, without impacting the surface of your skin, and without downtime.
The results from Ultherapy® generally last two years. The treatment produces new collagen, but even with natural collagen regeneration, the skin continues to age. Using good skincare products that encourage skin tightening and collagen production will help maintain your results
A good candidate for Ultherapy® is someone with some degree of laxity, to the point of looking, and often feeling, less firm. Loose skin under the neck and under the chin, or lines and wrinkles on the chest, are signals a patient might be a candidate.
Do not use the following products 3 days before or 3 days after your treatment or until pinkness has subsided): Retin-A, retinoids, or similar vitamin A compounds, harsh scrubs or exfoliating products, and bleaching creams. Avoid tanning or prolonged sun exposure 2 weeks before and 2 weeks after treatment.
Ultherapy® results are intended to be permanent, but the aging process will eventually affect your results. As you age, even after experiencing this treatment, you will continue to notice skin laxity as your body produces less collagen and elastin.
Ultherapy® is an excellent alternative for patients who want to look younger without the extensive healing time associated with a more invasive procedure, such as a brow lift or facelift. It’s also ideal for patients who want a more natural, gradual improvement in their appearance.
Immediate results are not noticeable; it will take three to six months for the final results to be revealed. The new collagen created will strengthen the structure of the skin for a refreshed and revitalized appearance that takes years off the patient's appearance.

Secret™ RF
Secret RF is a microneedling treatment that combines the use of fine, insulated needles and radiofrequency (RF) energy to heat and effectively target fine lines and wrinkles on the face and neck, frustrating stretchmarks, scars, and even crepey skin on the body.
Secret RF is a novel fractional radiofrequency (RF) microneedling system for tissue coagulation and hemostasis designed to stimulate and remodel collagen and address the common signs of aging. It is ideally suited for use on patients who wish to revitalize and refresh the appearance of their skin on all skin types.
Secret RF is an easy, safe, and effective procedure that can be performed in a quick session. To achieve optimal effect, 3 to 4 treatments are recommended. You’ll begin to notice results after your second treatment, but optimal results appear three months after the last treatment.
Secret RF is one of the most effective treatments to tighten skin and improve fine lines and wrinkles, especially around the eyes, mouth, and cheeks. Secret RF is also effective at reducing pore size, acne scars, and stretch marks.
After your Secret RF treatment, you should avoid applying any products to your skin until the next day; this includes washing your face. However, you can carefully apply makeup about 24 hours after the treatment to cover any redness that may remain.
You will need to avoid washing the treated area until any redness or irritation is gone. Once this side effect has disappeared, you are free to clean your skin with cool water and dry it carefully by patting the skin lightly.
As soon as the deepest layers of your skin are penetrated by the needles, “micro-wounds” are created. This triggers your body’s wound-healing processes to heal your micro-wounds immediately. However, the most dramatic results will not be visible until four to six weeks after treatment.
You will need 5 to 6 treatments for the best results. Do not think that only one treatment will be enough. After several sessions, you will have more radiant and firmer skin. It will treat fine lines and sagging skin of your face as well as your body.
Immediately after your first appointment, you may look like you have a mild sunburn since your skin will still be noticeably flushed from the treatment process. This fades over the first 24-48 hours, and as your skin begins to heal, you will notice a new glow develop over several weeks.
Retinol A and vitamin C serum should be avoided for the first 48 hours, minimum, after microneedling. Once 2 full days have passed, you might want to gradually add products back into your daily beauty routine instead of doing your usual regimen, especially if you use products that have strong anti-aging formulas.
The treated skin should be kept clean and not washed until the following day. The treatment area may feel slightly rough like sandpaper for 2-3 days. There is little to no discomfort after the procedure, and you can typically return to regular activities within a day.
Side effects following RF microneedling are mild, resulting in minimal downtime after treatment. For some patients, there may be mild pinpoint bleeding and slight bruising. More typically, the skin is mildly red for approximately 24 hours. Most patients can resume their normal routine within a day.
Secret™ PRO
Progressive Dermal Remodeling with Defined Results
Secret PRO takes on a non-conventional approach to skin revitalization by uniquely combining two clinically proven technologies in a single device. Utilizing fractional CO2 for skin resurfacing and radiofrequency microneedling for deep dermal remodeling effectively treats the full thickness of the skin from the epidermis to the deeper dermal layers independently or together.
Skin Revitalization and Resurfacing
Secret PRO features four unique treatment options for skin resurfacing and deep dermal remodeling, designed specifically to address your patient’s needs:
- Ultra Light: This series of gentle, full-face, fractional CO2, micro peel treatments address the superficial layers of photodamaged skin and stimulate neocollagenesis for skin revitalization with minimal downtime. (24-48 hours)
- Ultra: For patients who desire a more aggressive treatment, this procedure uses CO2 laser energy to target, photodamage, uneven texture, scars, crepey skin, and deliver more dramatic results in a single treatment. (May require 2-5 days of redness/swelling)
- Refine: A series of customizable RF microneedling treatments to provide deep dermal remodeling. Energy is precisely delivered at varying depths to treat common skin concerns such as fine lines, wrinkles, scars, acne scars, striae, pore reduction, and more (downtime varies)
- Revive: Get the ultimate treatment that layers RF and CO2 laser energy in a single session. This procedure allows you to perform the ideal treatment for progressively damaged skin by increasing collagen and hyaluronic acid production to reverse the signs of aging. (5-10 days of redness and swelling are expected)
