Cutera Excel V+
The Lasergenesis treatment system is a non-invasive and comfortable laser procedure to reduce fine lines, dark spots, wrinkles, and improve the look of rosacea. The long-wavelength laser works to drastically decrease the appearances of bumps, discoloration, scarring, and facial veins. A major benefit of using this technology is it’s largely flexible attributes. It can provide different wavelengths for different conditions and skin tones – giving patients the most optimized results. Cutera Excel V+ can treat skin conditions such as: rosacea, sun damage, freckles, various colored facial veins, leg veins, scars, angiomas, birthmarks (port wine stains), telangiectasis, and sebacarous hyperplasia. Patients can except minimal down time and as little as 3 treatments for optimized correction. To learn more about Cutera Excel V+, click here.
CellFX
The CellFX System is a multi-application platform designed to address to a broad range of dermatologic conditions, primarily for the clearance of benign lesions. This quick new procedure is able to clear common skin conditions such as benign spots, bumps, or growths known as lesions. The CellFX procedure clears the cells of a lesion while sparing the surrounding non-cellular layers of skin tissue to prevent unnecessary damage and scarring.
Other methods such as burning, freezing, or cutting involve unnecessary destruction of surrounding skin tissue in removing a lesion, leading to slower recovery times and risk of scarring.
A lesion is the medical term for a part of the skin that has an irregular appearance compared to the healthy skin around it. A lesion is typically made up of cells, caused by malformations of the structure of the skin.
On the surface of your skin, a lesion can look like a spot, bump, or growth, can be flat or raised, can have pigment or be clear and can appear anywhere on the face and body. While the lesion appears on the surface of your skin, most cells of a lesion extend underneath the surface into the deeper layers of your skin (the dermis) and can reside at unknown depths. Many factors, including the natural aging process, can cause different types of lesions.
How does the CellFX procedure work?
The CellFX procedure uses an innovative technology that uniquely works at the cellular level where the skin problem resides. The technology uses ultrafast electrical energy pulses to alter cells in the treatment zone, stimulating a gradual clearing of the cells that lead to the regeneration of new cells while keeping the healthy collagen foundation unharmed.
Can multiple lesions be treated in one procedure?
Yes, multiple lesions and lesion types may be treated in one procedure session. Since each lesion can be treated in a matter of seconds, it’s practical to have multiple lesions treated in a single procedure. Your doctor will design a treatment plan that works for you.
How long does the CellFX procedure take?
Your doctor will schedule the total appointment time required for your visit. After preparation time of each lesion, the actual time of the CellFX procedure session is typically 15 minutes depending on the number of lesions to be treated. Treatment of each lesion usually requires only 10-15 seconds of pulsing.
