What is MiXto SX® Fractional Resurfacing?
MiXto SX® fractional resurfacing is a laser skin resurfacing treatment that restores a more rejuvenated and refreshed complexion. MiXto SX® stands for the Mixture between CO2 energy and fractional resurfacing.
Combined, these two cutting-edge technologies can treat skin at a superficial and deep level. MiXto treats the face, neck, chest, arms, and hands and combats:
- Wrinkles
- Fine lines
- Skin laxity
- Age spots
- Acne scars
- Sun damage
- Hyperpigmentation
The MiXto SX® allows Dr. Schlessinger to control the amount of heat delivered by the beam and the depth of penetration. Using a proprietary algorithm, the high-speed scanner divides the treatment area into four parts.
It then scatters energy across the four parts so that each hit is separated by the longest interval. Distributing energy this way gives the skin maximum time to cool between exposure to the laser, resulting in minimal pain and a shorter recovery for the patient.
With a more tightly focused beam and fractional technology, the MiXto SX® laser delivers uniform ablation to the dermis, resulting in instant skin tightening. The procedure also triggers the skin’s ability to produce new collagen over the next six to twelve weeks.
New collagen enhances skin firmness and elasticity and restores a vibrant, more youthful appearance.
What is Clear + Brilliant?
Clear + Brilliant is a gentle yet powerful laser skin resurfacing treatment that utilizes fractional laser technology to help patients maintain or restore their youthful appearance. The treatment delivers a radiant, more youthful complexion without the side effects and lengthy downtime of conventional laser resurfacing procedures.
Clear + Brilliant can address a range of skin concerns, including
- Fine lines
- Age spots
- Acne scars
- Large pores
- Sun damage
- Hyperpigmentation
- Uneven skin texture
Clear + Brilliant uses fractional laser energy to create thousands of controlled microscopic injuries on the skin’s surface to activate the body’s natural wound-healing process. This speeds up cellular turnover, resurfacing the skin.
Simultaneously, fractional laser energy targets the deep layers of the skin and activates new collagen production for firmer skin. With every Clear + Brilliant treatment session, patients achieve a brighter complexion, even skin texture and tone, and a youthful glow without any downtime.
What is Secret RF Microneedling?
Secret RF Microneedling is an innovative treatment that combines the proven benefits of microneedling with radiofrequency energy delivery to improve aging skin, fine lines, wrinkles, acne scarring, and texture issues without downtime.
The treatment utilizes two specialized handpieces, depending on the area being treated. The adjustable microneedles can penetrate from 0.5mm to 3.5mm, allowing for customized treatment depths based on individual skin concerns.
When the Secret RF handpiece passes across the treatment area, the microneedles move up and down, penetrating the epidermis down into the skin’s second layer, the dermis. At the same time, the insulated needle tips deliver radiofrequency energy directly into the dermis.
This keeps the surface skin from being damaged by the RF energy, as can happen when the RF energy has to penetrate from outside in other skin tightening procedures. First, microneedling creates hundreds of microscopic punctures that heal within hours, triggering the body’s natural healing response.
This actively remodels existing collagen for instant tightening while stimulating new collagen and elastin production. Second, the radiofrequency energy converts to heat in the dermis, further enhancing collagen remodeling and skin cell renewal.
