  • Laser hair removal is a standard cosmetic procedure that utilizes light energy to remove hair. By targeting the pigment in hair follicles, the laser generates heat, damaging the papilla and curbing hair growth. Typically requiring 6 to 12 sessions, this procedure reduces hair growth by 70% to 90%. Although not permanently removing hair, it significantly delays regrowth, often necessitating maintenance treatments. Laser hair removal works best on dark hair due to easier targeting, but modern technology can address lighter hairs with the right wavelength. Sun exposure might affect the procedure’s efficacy and outcomes.

    Treatment durations vary from 10 to 60 minutes, depending on the targeted area. Personalized adjustments ensure optimal results, with energy levels and pulse length tailored to factors like age, skin color, hair growth, and sensitivity.

  • Lutronic Clarity II stands out for its effectiveness and safety, with minimal side effects. Temporary redness may occur, lasting a few hours post-treatment. Rare instances might involve a mild burning sensation or temporary skin discoloration. The laser’s settings can be tailored to different skin tones, minimizing risks.

Clarity II Spider Vein Removal

  • Spider vein removal reduces or eliminates the appearance of unsightly spider veins, reticular veins, and broken capillaries.

    We use the Clarity II laser to target the hemoglobin inside the spider vein. The damaged vein absorbs the heat from the laser and eventually collapses in on itself. Your body naturally disposes of the damaged cells over time, leaving you with clear skin!

    The Lutronic Clarity II laser is ideal for spider vein removal because of its versatility. Your provider can adjust for your skin color, type, and comfort level.

    Our provider will select the proper laser wavelength based on a principle called selective photothermolysis. The waves are absorbed and converted to heat, which breaks up the coagulated blood in your spider veins. The FDA-approved technology allows your provider to target the vein without affecting the surrounding tissue for a safe and effective treatment.

    While the term “spider vein removal” implies that your veins will disappear completely, the effectiveness of the treatment depends on the severity of your spider veins, skin color, and how well you respond to the treatment. In most cases, the Lutronic Clarity 2 can significantly reduce the appearance of spider veins. Sometimes, spider veins disappear altogether!

  • We offer spider vein removal for anyone who wishes to reduce the appearance of these damaged veins and restore confidence from the inside out! Spider veins are a common cosmetic concern for both men and women. They are often more visible in women because they tend to affect veins that are closer to the surface.

    Spider veins typically appear on the legs or face. The main causes of spider veins are poor circulation, improper blood flow through the veins and arteries, hormonal changes, genetic factors, and sun damage. The tiny blue, red, and purple veins seem to appear overnight. They are often raised above the skin’s surface and appear in a web-like formation.

    Lutronic’s Clarity 2 laser can reduce the appearance of spider veins up to four millimeters in diameter. The treatment is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure with minimal recovery.

EXION Clear RF - Smart Microablation for Skin Perfection

  • Exion Clear RF is a skin clarifying and anti-aging treatment that uses radiofrequency energy and AI-driven precision to deeply penetrate the skin with precise thermal energy to stimulate natural collagen production and transform the health of your skin.

    Exion Clear RF uses Smart Microablasion to create controlled damage in the skin while delivering powerful radiofrequency (RF) energy much deeper (up to 8mm deep) into the dermis, reaching the subcutaneous tissue for enhanced skin remodeling—all without needles, lasers, or downtime.

    Treatments with Exion Clear RF are completed in a single pass with no numbing cream needed to remain comfortable.

    Another standout benefit of Exion Clear RF is its ability to stimulate hyaluronic acid (HA). Hyaluronic acid naturally occurs in the body and is responsible for hydrating the skin. So instead of injecting HA-based fillers to give the skin a plump hydrated look, Exion Clear RF triggers your body to boost HA naturally from within.

    • Improved Skin Tone and Texture: Exion Clear RF can help to improve skin tone and texture, making the skin look smoother and more even.

    • Reduced Fine Lines and Wrinkles: The treatment can help to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, giving the skin a more youthful and refreshed look.

    • Enhanced Collagen Production: Exion Clear RF stimulates collagen production, which helps to improve skin firmness and elasticity.

    • Minimally Invasive: The treatment is minimally invasive, with minimal downtime, allowing patients to return to their daily activities quickly.

    • Customizable: Exion Clear RF treatments can be customized to address individual skin concerns and goals.

    • Safe for all skin types: According to PureLee Redefined, Exion Clear RF is safe for all skin types.

    • Quick and Comfortable: Exion Clear RF treatments are typically quick and comfortable, lasting around 60 minutes, including numbing and depending on the areas being treated.

    • Minimal Downtime: Most patients experience only mild redness, which typically resolves within 2-3 days.

    • Noticeable Results: Patients may notice improvements in skin tone and texture within a few days, with optimal results visible in 2-3 weeks.

    • Long-Lasting Results: The effects of Exion Clear RF can last for a year or even longer.

Exion Fractional RF Microneedling

  • Exion Fractional RF Microneedling is a non-invasive skin treatment that combines fractional radiofrequency (RF) energy with microneedling to rejuvenate the skin. It's designed to improve skin texture, reduce wrinkles, and address other concerns like acne scars and skin laxity. Exion utilizes monopolar RF technology and AI-driven energy delivery to create a thermal gradient below the skin's surface, stimulating collagen production and elastin renewal.

    How it works:

    • Microneedling: Tiny needles create micro-injuries on the skin's surface, triggering the body's natural healing process.

    • RF Energy: Monopolar RF energy is delivered to the deeper layers of the skin, heating the tissues and stimulating fibroblasts.

    • AI-Driven Delivery: Exion's AI technology optimizes the energy delivery, ensuring precise heating and coagulation of deep tissues without full needle insertion.

    • Collagen and Elastin Production: The micro-injuries and RF energy work together to boost collagen and elastin production, leading to firmer, tighter skin.

    • Improved skin texture and tone: Exion can reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, and hyperpigmentation.

    • Skin tightening: The treatment can help improve skin laxity and create a more youthful appearance.

    • Minimal downtime: Exion is generally considered a low-risk procedure with minimal side effects, allowing for quick recovery.

    • Versatile application: Exion can be used on the face, body, and various areas, including the neck, chest, and hands.

    Considerations:

    • Treatment depth: Exion can reach a depth of up to 8mm below the skin's surface, making it effective for deeper skin concerns.

    • Individual results: The number of treatments needed and the specific results achieved can vary depending on individual skin conditions and goals.
