Vasculaze and Diolaze XL Laser Treatments:
DiolazeXL is the right choice for laser hair removal because it combines the use of peak power and a large spot size simultaneously. Patients benefit from this because they can achieve permanent hair reduction while going through shorter treatment sessions. Patient safety, comfort and speed are the cornerstones of Diolaze XL hair removal. Patients wanting to treat a large area can expect about a 15-20 minute treatment session versus 45+ minutes with competitor devices.
Read More About DiolazeXL
WHAT IS DiolazeXL?
DiolazeXL is an advanced laser hair removal procedure that safely and gently eliminates unwanted hair. DiolazeXL has one of the largest treatment spot sizes, making treatments convenient and fast. The combination of efficacy, patient comfort and speed makes DiolazeXL a leader in laser hair removal. It is powerful enough to target and treat even the most stubborn hair.
HOW DOES DiolazeXL WORK?
During laser treatment, a diode laser beam passes through the skin towards hair follicles. The penetrating energy then heats up the root of the hair, which in turn prevents future hair growth.
DOES IT HURT?
DiolazeXL has a built-in skin cooling surface which is one of the largest for all hair removal devices. This makes treatment more comfortable than other devices, with most patients noting that DiolazeXL is virtually painless.
WHY DO I NEED MULTIPLE TREATMENTS TO ACHIEVE HAIR REMOVAL?
As with all laser hair removal methods, DiolazeXL requires a series of treatments. Laser hair removal works best when hair follicles are in their mature stage; however, at any given time your hair is in various stages of growth.
HOW MANY SESSIONS ARE REQUIRED?
Hair is reduced with each treatment and results are observed after four to six sessions. The number of sessions will differ depending on your hair color, hair type, body area, and skin tone.
WHICH AREAS OF THE BODY CAN BE TREATED?
DiolazeXL can be safely used on most areas of the body that have unwanted hair. Most commonly treated areas include: bikini, legs, arms, chest, back, shoulders, stomach, neck, chin and sideburns.
Patients who have age spots, sun damage, vessels and rosacea can expect superior clearance in 1-3 treatment versus 4-6 compared to the standard IPL. Most patients who are exposed to the sun for long periods of time will notice brown spots appear along their face, chest, hands and other parts of their body. This is common; however, most patients do seek treatment to rid themselves of these blemishes. Whether your areas of concern are brown or red, our IPL can exceed your expectations in getting the clearance you desire.
Read More About Lumecca
WHAT IS LUMECCA?
Lumecca is the most powerful intense pulsed light (IPL) to treat pigmented and vascular lesions. After just one use, patients notice significant improvements in the complexion and clarity of the skin. Lumecca operates using photothermolysis, which provides a photo facial through the delivery of a comfortable light treatment.
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS?
In just 1-3 sessions Lumecca improves the appearance of:
•Age spots (red/brown pigmentations)
•Vascular lesions such as facial telangiectasias (spider veins) and poikiloderma
•Rosacea (redness)
•Freckles
•Sun damage
WHAT AREAS CAN BE TREATED?
Lumecca can be used on all areas of the body. The most common areas of treatment are zones that are regularly exposed to the sun. This often includes the face, neck, décolletage, legs, hands and arms.
WHAT STEPS MUST BE TAKEN BEFORE THE PROCEDURE?
Avoid direct, excessive sun exposure or tanning one month prior to treatment.
WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT DURING AND AFTER LUMECCA?
During treatment there will be a bright flash of light from the Lumecca that feels like a light elastic sensation. Redness and a slight warming of the skin are normal after treatment and usually subsides within an hour. Over the next 24-48 hours you may see a darkening of pigmented spots; in the week afterwards, the pigmented lesions flake off, leading to an evening out of skin tone. After treating vascular lesions, you may see the vein blanch and disappear or a color change in the vessel which dissipates after a few days.
HOW MANY SESSIONS ARE REQUIRED?
An improved skin appearance can be noted after the first session. Multiple sessions provide even better results. Treatment regime depends on the severity of skin damage, skin type, type of treatment (vascular vs sun damage) and energy settings.
HOW QUICKLY WILL I SEE RESULTS?
Sun damage and skin complexion results can be seen a few days after the first session. The skin will continue to look younger and more brilliant over time with most visible results after 1-2 weeks. Having multiple photo facial sessions will improve the final result. For vascular treatments such as facial telangiectasias, results can be seen in up to 2 weeks.
ARE THERE ANY SIDE EFFECTS?
Most patients do not experience any side effects and any skin reaction usually resolves within a few hours. Patients may find they are sensitive to sunlight immediately after treatment. It is recommended to avoid direct sunlight and tanning.
Morpheus8 is a subdermal adipose remodeling device (SARD) that fractionally remodels and contours the face and body. It is a minimally invasive treatment that combines radio frequency (RF) energy and microneedling to penetrate deep into the skin layers and underlying fat to contour the face and body and tighten the skin. By using RF energy in conjunction with tiny micro-injuries from the microneedling, M8 stimulates collagen production resulting in tightening and improved elasticity of the skin. M8 has the ability to penetrate deeper into the skin than any other microneedling device, going as deep as 4mm on the face and 7mm on the body. M8 can be used for, but is not limited to treating wrinkles, acne scars, stretch marks, surgical scars and more. Depending on what you are looking to treat, a series of 3 treatments is recommended.
By using shorter microneedles, M8 can also be used superficially to perform fractional skin resurfacing and rejuvenation to improve skin complexion, reduce skin irregularities and restore skin to a more youthful appearance. This all occurs within one session or multiple sessions. M8 resurfacing can be used on active cystic acne and acne scars.

What is Morpheus 8?
MORPHEUS8 is a fractional skin treatment that stimulates collagen production of the underlying layers of the dermis. By targeting the deeper layers of the skin, the building blocks will reorganize themselves in a natural anti-aging process. MORPHEUS8 is very unique as it can penetrate 4mm deep on the face and 7mm deep on the body, which results in fat melting so you can truly contour and morph different parts of the body.
What Areas Can Be Treated?
Morpheus8 can be used on any areas that can benefit from sub-dermal renewal. The most commonly treated areas include the lower face and neck. Areas of the face and body that exhibit wrinkles, discoloration or acne scarring are suitable for treatment.
How Many Treatments Will I Need?
Depending on your Morpheus8 treatment regime you can expect to have between 1-3 sessions. It also depends how aggressive your treatment is and the severity of laxity and skin quality. A series of 3 sessions may be needed for optimal results.
How Quickly Will I See Results?
Visible results can be seen within a few days, but typically after three weeks the most noticeable results appear. Improvements continue up to three months after treatment.
How Long Should I Wait Between Treatments?
4 Weeks
What is the Benefit of Fractionated Energy?
Fractionated RF energy is a scientifically proven method to reduce wrinkles and rebuild collagen and elasticity. It is minimally invasive, using a matrix of micro pins to renew deeper layers of the skin with almost no patient downtime.
Can Anyone Use Morpheus 8?
The benefit of Morpheus8’s color blind technology is that it can be used on all skin types. The unique properties allow even darker tones to be treated.
What is the Benefit of RF Energy?
RF energy heats the deep layers of the skin in a controlled way to revitalize the collagen. The treatment will improve skin complexion and texture for a more radiant and youthful appearance.
Can This Be Used in Combination with Other Treatments?
Yes, Morpheus8 can be used in the same treatment session as other treatments depending on the treatments and at your physician’s discretion.
When Can I Put Makeup On After Treatment?
Since patient downtime is minimal, makeup can be applied 3-4 days after the treatment. Patients should expect to see micro lesions a few days after treatment and slight redness for up to 1 week depending on treatment parameters.
What Kind of Post-Procedure Care Is Required?
Patients should moisturize the treatment area and avoid direct sun exposure for two weeks. It is also recommended that patients use a good, broad spectrum mineral sunscreen of SPF 30 or higher every day for at least 2 weeks post procedure.
Vascular lesions, spider veins or port wine stains can all be effectively treated with Vasculaze. Optimized with high peak power, Vasculaze targets hemoglobin appropriately so patients achieve a fast and safe treatment. Using a strong contact cooling mechanism, patients can expect to have a comfortable treatment with minimal discomfort.

WHAT IS VASCULAZE?
The appearance of veins can be unsightly, causing both women and men to seek treatment options. Lesions can be very visible (long and bulging) or spider veins, which are smaller, finer and shorter (lines or web-like). Vasculaze can help alleviate a wide variety of facial and leg vein issues with a laser that is targeted to treat the blood vessel causing the blemish. Vasculaze has a specially designed head that is built to pinpoint the vein or vein network, making treatments precise and safe.
The technology in the Vasculaze sends pulses of light onto the vein, which makes the vein slowly fade and disappear, possibly preventing the need for incisions and needles.
HOW COMMON ARE VASCULAR LESIONS?
Vascular lesions are present in 10-15% of adults, with a greater number in females than males. They can be prevalent in a contained body area, spread out over multiple body areas, or show up as a singular line or cluster. The use of Vasculaze can help treat existing lesions and prevent them from getting worse.
WHAT TYPES OF VEINS CAN BE TREATED?
Dr. Sclafani will need to do an assessment of your vascular lesions. In general, the recommended types of vascular veins to treat are: facial and spider veins, port wine stains, leg veins, telangiectasias and angiomas. Varicose veins are typically larger and are not suitable for Vasculaze.
AREAS OF TREATMENT
More common areas of Vasculaze treatment include: face, décolleté, arms, upper thighs, back of thighs, and the lower legs.
HOW MANY SESSIONS ARE REQUIRED?
Typically, three sessions are performed, however, some lesions may require more. Gradual improvements in the treatment area can be seen following the first treatment
– with the skin’s surface looking clearer as treatments progress.
WHAT IS THE RECOVERY?
Vasculaze is a quick procedure, taking only a few seconds per vein treated. Patients can come into the office and leave relatively quickly, depending on how extensive the vein or vein network is. No activities that will encourage increased blood flow, like heavy exercise, hot baths, or rubbing the area should be performed for 48 hours to a week post procedure depending on the area and size of veins you had treated-the doctor will advise you. Areas treated should stay out of sunlight and be protected with sunblock with SPF 30 or higher for at least 3-4 weeks post treatment.

Alma TED Treatment:
LOVE LASER? TRY PLASMA.
A one-of-a-kind skin renewal treatment using Fractional Plasma™ technology with Opus Plasma™.
WHY PLASMA?
When it comes to repairing and renewingaging skin, laser-based skin resurfacing has been the treatment of choice for decades. While the results are rewarding, it can come at a price —days, if not weeks of downtime. Like traditional laser skin resurfacing, Opus Plasma removes a small fraction of the skin, which stimulates the surrounding skin to repair itself. But unlike traditional laser-based skin resurfacing technologies, Opus Plasma uses a one-of-a-kind Plasma technology that precisely controls the energy-to-tissue contact time, minimizing unwanted inflammation that often leads to longer recovery. Enjoy fractional skin resurfacing results with much less downtime using Plasma, with Opus Plasma.
Read More About Opus Plasma
WHAT IS SKIN RESURFACING?
Skin resurfacing, most commonly using a laser, is the most dramatic nonsurgical procedure to repair
and renew the skin to address a wide range of skin concerns. Fractional-based skin resurfacing is the modern skin resurfacing method that involves creating a pattern of microscopic injuries to a fraction of the skin. This stimulates a natural wound healing response triggering the skin to repair itself. The type of injury can vary depending on the type of fractional-based skin resurfacing technology used.
WHY OPUS PLASMA?
Opus Plasma builds upon the popular and widely accepted science of fractional skin resurfacing and advances this field forward with an option that improves the patient experience using a novel, new energy source — Plasma. With Opus Plasma you can enjoy fractional skin resurfacing results with much less downtime.
WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT?
Opus Plasma is a quick outpatient treatment performed following application of a topical anesthetic. During your consultation Dr. Sclafani will assess your skin to personalize the best treatment plan for you. While you’ll begin to enjoy noticeable improvements following your first treatment, 2 to 3 treatments are usually recommended for optimal results
IS THE TREATMENT PAINFUL?
Depending on your treatment plan, the degree of discomfort will vary. Topical anesthetic is applied to the skin to numb the treatment area prior to the treatment to minimize any discomfort.
WHAT DOES RECOVERY LOOK LIKE?
This too will depend on the your treatment plan recommended by Dr. Sclafani. A clinical study has shown that Opus Plasma required 50% less downtime when compared to a fractional skin resurfacing technology using a laser. When using moderate settings, the downtime is minimal. You may experience 24 to 48 hours of mild to moderate redness and swelling — not significant enough to interfere with your daily activities.
WHO IS A GOOD CANDIDATE FOR OPUS PLASMA?
Opus Plasma was developed to be a versatile tool to address a wide demographic of patients of different age groups, skin types and skin concerns. Dr. Sclafani can dial the energy up or down to personalize the right treatment plan for your needs.

There are several warning signs that you might be starting to experience hair loss (or have been losing hair for quite some time):

WHAT IS SKIN RESURFACING?
Most commonly done with a laser, skin resurfacing is the most dramatic non-surgical procedure to repair and renew the skin, addressing wide-ranging skin concerns. Fractional-based skin resurfacing involves creating a pattern of microscopic injuries to a fraction of the skin. This stimulates a natural wound-healing response, triggering the skin to repair itself. The type of injury can vary depending on the type of fractional-based skin resurfacing technology used.
WHY OPUS COLIBRI?
Opus Colibri delivers micro-plasma, causing both controlled ablation and thermal coagulation to target the most hard-to-reach areas around the eyes with accuracy. Classic surgical eye lifts can come at a cost of unwanted downtime and can’t always maintain the natural shape of the eyes. But with Opus Colibri, you can get extraordinary results without the complications and downtime of going through surgery. Alongside its innovative energy delivery, Opus Colibri features a 0.7mm tip so Dr. Sclafani can precisely target areas of concern. Now, with Opus Colibri, you can safely achieve noticeable results with skin resurfacing, both above and below the eyes, without the need for surgery
WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT?
Opus Colibri is a quick, 20–25 minute outpatient treatment performed following application of a topical anesthetic. During your consultation, Dr. Sclafani will assess your skin to personalize the best treatment plan for you. While you’ll begin to enjoy noticeable improvements following your first treatment, 2 to 3 treatments are recommended for optimal results.
IS THE TREATMENT PAINFUL?
Depending on your treatment plan and location, the degree of discomfort will vary. Topical anesthetic will be applied to numb the treatment area prior to treatment to minimize any discomfort.
WHAT DOES RECOVERY LOOK LIKE?
This, too, will depend on your treatment plan and location of the procedure. In general, expect two to three days of swelling. Redness will dissipate after one week, and then you can return to your normal skincare or makeup routine. Make sure to apply sunscreen daily to protect the skin.
WHAT SHOULD BE APPLIED POST TREATMENT?
It’s important to keep the treatment area hydrated. For seven days post procedure, only apply the moisturizer or emollient recommended by Dr. Sclafani. Dr. Sclafani’s emollient of choice is Alastin INhance with cooling tip and Trihex technology. INhance is formulated to decrease downtime, visibly reduce redness, calm the appearance of stressed skin, and visibly improve hydration. Apply at least morning and night for the first seven days, but can be applied as frequently as you like to hydrate and calm the area.
