Step 1: An AFA Clay Masque is applied to the skin to pre-exfoliate and draw out oils and impurities. This step exfoliates and purifies the skin!Step 2: A concentrated AFA Antioxidant Gel Peel is then applied. It is designed to work synergistically with the Clay Masque. This step repairs and brightens the skin!
AFA products are formulated with highly-potent, stabilized antioxidants and powerful exfoliants which, contradicting their efficacy, produce little to no irritation/downtime (unlike the commons AHAs, ie. glycolic acids).
Most clients experience only minor, temporary erythema after treatment. This is very normal. Some exfoliation or flaking of skin can occur for 24-48 hours after treatment.
Avoid exercise and anything that creates heat for 24 hours.
Use a freshly clean pillow case and clean cell phone.
Avoid other laser and skin treatments for 2 weeks.
Makeup can be applied after 24 hours
Patients will notice improvement in smoothness, touch and texture of skin.
Treatment series are unique to clients skin concerns and goals. But for many skin concerns, (including photopigmentation, as well as other visible photoaging) we recommend a series of approximately 6 or more consecutive applications, with each application being 2 weeks apart for dramatically improved, soft and smooth skin.
Further discussion about treatment series can be discussed during our consultation. After this, an ongoing maintenance regimen is encouraged on a monthly basis or according to patient preference.

Immediately following your CoolGlide treatment, the area may appear a bit red, tender and swollen.
Three to seven days after treatment you may experience what seems to be regrowth of hair. Actually, most of these hairs are being shed as a result of your treatment and are not regrowing.
Between treatments you should not wax or pluck your hair, but feel free to shave!
Blisters may occur in sensitive areas. Should this occur, an antibiotic ointment (ie. polysporin) can be applied daily until healed.
Avoid exercise, hot tubs, or anything that may result in sweat for at least 24 hours.
Shaving, waxing, and depilatory creams are all temporary methods which must be repeated on a frequent basis. The CoolGlide offers permanent hair reduction for lasting results.
Using the latest technology in laser hair removal, the CoolGlide can rapidly treat large areas without the limitations of older technologies. The CoolGlide longer wavelength allows it to be used safely and effectively on patients of all skin types. Unlike other systems, the CoolGlide can treat the fine hair on a woman’s upper lip just as easily and effectively as the coarse hair on a man’s back. The cooled hand-piece increases patient comfort and minimizes the adverse skin reaction commonly seen with other lasers.
Most areas require approximately 6-8 treatments. However, the number of CoolGlide treatments required for optimal long-term benefits depends on multiple factors – hair thickness, the area treated, skin type, and your hair’s growth cycle. Interestingly, not all hairs are actively growing at the same time and actually go through three distinct phases: growth, regression, and resting. CoolGlide treatments work by disabling the hair that is principally in the active growth phase at the time of treatment. Since other hairs will enter this active growth phase at different times, additional treatments may be necessary to disable all of the hair follicles in a given area. After completing your treatment series, touch-ups may be required as needed to target new hair growth. This is a hair reduction treatment. Results are not guaranteed. The goal is to achieve 60-95% less hair.
Avoid all retinols and resurfacing ingredients for at least 72 hours prior to treatment.
Avoid all exfoliating for at least 24 hours prior to treatment.
Upon your arrival, we cleanse the skin and prep it for numbing cream. The numbing cream sits for 30 minutes to aid in the comfort of the treatment.

Diffuse redness is a general appearance of facial redness, such as rosy cheeks. This condition is caused by dilated capillaries, resulting in an appearance of general redness, not discrete, well-defined vessels. The most commonly affected areas are the nose, forehead and cheeks. Diffuse redness is often associated with a condition called rosacea and it can be hereditary. Laser Genesis will help your appearance by gently treating and reducing this condition.
By gently heating the upper dermis well below your skin’s surface, Laser Genesis improves the appearance of wrinkles through collagen stimulation. Additional heat is generated in dilated capillaries to reduce redness.
Although most patients report few if any side effects, the most common is a slight redness that disappears within a few hours of treatment.

The LimeLight Photofacial is ideal for any part of your face, neck and décolleté with skin redness, telangiectasia (tiny veins) or brown spots. Light (low contrast) brown spots, which were previously difficult to resolve, respond very well to treatment.

Delivers heat in the IR spectrum to provide topical heating for the purpose of elevating tissue temperature; for the temperary relief of minor muscle and joint pain, arthritis and muscle spasm; relieveing stiffness; promoting the relaxation of muscle tissue; and to temperarily increase local blood circulation.
LED is a very relaxing treatment. It uses a low light therapy to target your concerns and although it generates some heat, it remains very comfortable.
Consists of roughly 10-12 treatments over 4 weeks, allowing up to 3 treatments per week. This is for optimal results, although this can be further discussed and customized per your unique needs.
Acne: Using blue light as its dominant wavelenght, it will target and kill the bacterita that leads to breakouts, reduce inflammation/pain, pimples and redness. It is a powerful treatment backed by science.
Anti-Aging: Using red light as its dominant wavelength, firbroblasts will absorb the light and boost the ATP process, which includes collagen and elastin production. Collagen is necessary for firm skin and a younger and healthier complexion. Other benefits include reduction and prevention of cell death, development of new capillaries, increased blood flow and cell generation to replace old cells.
Wound Healing: Using red and IR wavelenghts, the epithelial cells absorb the light and boost the ATP process, cell migration and angiogenesis. This will promote safe and faster wound healing/recovery.
Pain: Using near-infrared as its dominant wavelength, it will create angiogenesis and result in a decrease of inflammation and pain reduction.
Blue: 465 nm
Least penetrating and targets the epidermal layer (surface concerns)
Red: 645 nm The second deepest, targeting the dermal layer
IR: 880 nm
Offers the deepest penetration, targeting the subcutaneous tissue
There are two positions that are optimal for results.
1. The device is cradled around the face (LED is closest to the face. This is the snugger option)
2. The device is tented over the face (no higher than 3 inches from face, but does allow for a bit more room under the LED)
Goggles are optional
Please note that with both options, there is visibility out of the top and bottom, improving its comfortability. If this is a concern for you, please contact us to discuss.
It is important that the LED remains as close to the skin as possible. When that light is distanced from the skin, it diminishes the ability of the tissue to absorb the light.
Fibroblast Cells: Responsible for producing collagen and elastin in the connected tissue
Keratinocytes: Provides structural strength, tone, texture and clarity to the skin
Mast Cells: Responsible for inflammatory reactions
Neutrophil Cells (Leukocytes): First line of defence in the inflammatory process, adequate numbers are important to protect the body from infection
Macrophrage Cells (Leukocytes): Plays a vital roll in activating specific immune responses
P-Acne Bacteria: A slow growing gram-positive bacteria linked to acne
Do not use Accutane (acne medication) for at least 6 months before treatment.
Discontinue the use of any topical AHA’s (Retinol, vitamin A) for at least 3-5 days prior to your treatment.

The Cutera Laser delivers 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.
Often, patients find that one or two treatments are sufficient for smaller/thinner veins. However, the number of treatments necessary depends on the number, colour, and size of the vessels being treated.
The recommended time interval between treatments is 6 weeks or longer, depending on the rate of clearance. For facial vein therapy, a follow-up appointment in 3 to 4 weeks is always booked before you leave. Vessels treated in other areas, such as the legs, take longer to heal and follow-up appointments are generally booked in 4 to 8 weeks.
Following your treatment, some redness or bruising may occur.
When larger veins are treated, a tan or brownish pigment may persist for a few weeks or months following treatment.
Patients who have leg vein treatments may be advised to wear compression stockings for a short period of time.
Patients generally resume most normal activities immediately. However, it is recommended that you avoid vigorous activities such as strenuous exercise for the first 24 hours after treatment.
Cold compresses or chilled gel-packs may be applied post treatment.
Compression stockings (30-40 mm Hg Pressure) are optional and may increase patient comfort and help reduce bruising.
Avoid heat for a minimum of 24 hours – hot tubs, saunas, etc.
Avoid sun exposure and apply sunscreen to the treated area
Larger reticular vessels may take months to resolve and should not be re-treated before then.
The Cutera Laser can remove unsightly veins from all parts of the body. Small, facial veins (or “telangiectasia”) can be treated quickly without bruising or complication.
Spider veins and some blue leg veins can also be treated with excellent results, although review and a consultation is necessary to assess.
Small ruby points or "cherries" can be treated easily as well
Knotty varicose veins are not good candidates.
Most patients find that the majority of the treated veins have shown significant improvement within two to six weeks of treatment. However, your final results may not be apparent for
several months. Over time, it is possible for new veins to appear, which can be treated.
Factors that may contribute to developing spider veins
-Genetics/age
-Sun damage
-Prolonged standing or sitting
-Injury
-Pregnancy
-Hormonal therapy
-Weight loss/gain
-Medical conditions

Your skin may have a slight rosy glow for approximately 24-48 hours after treatment. You may also feel like you have a mild sunburn if your skin is extremely sensitive.
Avoid direct sun exposure for 1-2 days after your treatment. Use a sunscreen every day that blocks both UVA and UVB rays, preferably one containing an SPF30 or higher.
Avoid any irritants such as products containing bleaching creams, Retin A, Retinol, glycolic/salicylic acids or astringents for at least 1 week after your treatment.
Avoid submerging the area treated in a chlorinated pool or hot tub for the next 3-5 days.
Do not pick or pull any loosening or peeling skin. This could potentially cause scarring or hyperpigmentation.
You may or may not experience peeling and flaking of the outer, dead layer of skin within the first few days after your treatment, this is normal.
Acne may temporarily look worse after the first treatment but will improve after additional treatments.
Your technician will recommend post treatment skin care products for you.
