Light & Energy Procedures

As you age, the skin beneath your chin and in areas around your neck and brows can develop laxity and begin to droop and sag. These changes are perfectly natural, but they can add years to your appearance. While a facelift or brow lift can be extremely effective for correcting skin laxity on the face, you now have a non-surgical option: Ultherapy. This non-invasive skin-rejuvenation treatment stimulates the body's innate ability to heal by applying ultrasound energy. Ultherapy helps tone your skin in these critical areas, creating a more youthful appearance without surgery.

Are you bothered by a muffin top or love handles? CoolSculpting is a safe, FDA-cleared, nonsurgical treatment that can reduce those annoying bumps and bulges of stubborn fat using a controlled cooling process. Unlike most other methods of fat reduction, CoolSculpting involves no needles, surgery, or downtime. Patients often spend procedure time reading, working on their laptops or simply relaxing, allowing CoolSculpting to freeze unwanted fat.

BBL™ (BroadBand Light) photo rejuvenation therapy can help your skin look younger and more refreshed. These simple treatments can help reduce the appearance of sunspots and roll back the years on those unsightly age spots. BBL photo rejuvenation therapy can also improve a wide variety of skin conditions including rosacea and broken capillaries.

HOW IT WORKS
BBL photo rejuvenation therapy heats the outer layer of skin with rapid pulses of broadband light. Our Albany clients require little to no downtime because this gentle heating does not affect the outer layer of the skin. The light increases collagen production in the skin cells beneath the surface, which naturally helps revitalize the skin's appearance.

BENEFITS OF BBL
BBL photo rejuvenation therapy is ideal for reducing the visible effects of age spots along with many other types of skin conditions and blemishes, including the effects of the sun on the face, hands, neck and back.

While BBL provides beautiful results on its own, following it with ProFractional Therapy™ can help your skin look even more amazing.

THE PROCEDURE
BBL photo rejuvenation therapy is a very safe procedure that has virtually no side effects and can be completed in about 15 to 30 minutes. BBL photo rejuvenation is often performed on areas that are the most frequently exposed to the damaging rays of the sun, including the hands, face, neck, shoulders, and chest.

Before your procedure begins, you will be asked to put on protective eyewear. During your BBL photo rejuvenation therapy, you may feel your skin getting gently warm in the area of the procedure. You may also feel a light snapping sensation. After the procedure, you may have some slight redness around the area that was treated, which will fade within a couple of hours. To achieve optimum results, most people require 2 to 5 BBL treatments.

RECOVERY
BBL photo rejuvenation therapy is so gentle and non-invasive that there is little to no recovery period necessary. This safe, gentle procedure can be performed during the time it takes to have your lunch, and you can return to work immediately. For those who use it, makeup can be applied immediately following the treatment.
