TCA peels are medium-depth peels that treat fine surface wrinkles, superficial blemishes and pigment problems using trichloroacetic acid (TCA). TCAs are the preferred chemical solution for darker-skinned patients and may be used on the neck and other areas of the body. Multiple treatments may be required. Treatments only last 10-15 minutes, and recovery time is fairly short.
Phenol, the strongest chemical peel, treats deeper skin problems such as coarse facial wrinkles, pre-cancerous growths, and areas of blotchy or damaged skin caused by sun exposure, aging or birth-control pills. Because phenol can lighten skin where it is applied, the patient’s natural pigmentation is a factor in determining eligibility. Phenol is used only on the face, as it may cause scarring elsewhere. Full-facial treatment can last an hour or two and recovery can take a few months, with possible permanent skin lightening and removal of freckles.
PCA Blended Acids are solutions that combine exfoliating acids, tyrosinase inhibitors and skin-strengthening agents to provide maximum benefits with minimal discomfort and little to no downtime. The synergistic effect of their ingredients provides corrective and nutritive benefits, while exfoliating the surface of the skin to help minimize fines lines and wrinkles and even skin tone.
Cutera Laser Systems is the leading provider of laser and other light-based aesthetic systems in the aesthetic market. Maximum flexibility and the ability to upgrade is essential in today’s fast-paced, aesthetic world. The Cutera Xeo Laser provides the most versatile laser and light technologies available today. Whether you are interested in skin tightening, skin rejuvenation, hair removal, vascular therapies, or all the above, the Xeo can accommodate your specific needs.
The Cutera Xeo Laser is a long-pulsed laser with different attachment heads and settings that can be adjusted depending upon the condition, such as skin and hair color, texture, and the depth of penetration required. The laser heat treats the appropriate layer of skin depth, leaving the layers on top cool and undamaged.
One of the attachment heads, called the Titan, works to tone, lift, and tighten loose or excess skin on the abdomen, face, neck, arms, or legs. It also stimulates production of collagen fibers that make up the skin’s support mechanism. The result is younger and tighter looking skin.
Other features of the Cutera Laser System include:
LimeLight (Photorejuvenation) - The LimeLight facial is a non-invasive approach to skin rejuvenation. Cutera’s LimeLight treats skin redness, tiny veins, brown spots and sun damage.
Titan - Titan uses light energy to heat the dermis deep beneath the skin’s surface to tighten the skin. Titan is ideal for your face, abdomen, legs, and more, without surgery, recovery time, or injections.
Pearl - Pearl renews the skin of the face and neck by gently removing the top layer of the skin to significantly reduce the appearance of fine lines, uneven skin textures and dark spots.
Pearl Fractional - Pearl Fractional combines ablation and coagulation to perform the deepest laser treatment available as it treats just a fraction of the skin and produces maximum results in a single treatment session.
