Soften your Journey through Time

Resurfacing for Skin Tightening with No Recovery Time

True beauty is more than skin deep, but having beautiful skin is a good beginning. Healthy beautiful skin starts just below the surface.

The effects of time and the environment can cause your skin to change. That's because collagen, the basic building block of skin, becomes thinner and less elastic with time. You may have noticed some changes -- fine lines and shifts in color or texture -- your skin just doesn't look as supple anymore.

But now, using a breakthrough laser technology, a new beautifying process called Thermescent Skin Treatment can help soften those signs of aging and promote softer, healthier looking skin without the big investment of time and money other treatments require. The Cool Touch laser stimulates your collagen to make new collagen and tighten the skin.

With a series of Thermescent Skin Treatments you can see ongoing improvement in how your skin looks and feels. That's because this advanced laser penetrates through the surface layers to work on a deeper level where collagen is formed. Unlike other laser treatments, Cool Touch protects your outer skin and sensitive nerve endings with a unique cooling spray. Precise laser pulses stimulate cells called fibroblasts which produce the natural collagen that is the foundation of your skin. As the collagen layer thickens, skin tone and elasticity improve, and time-lines fade into a youthful glow.

This treatment is designed to combat the effects of aging with minimal discomfort and without a major investment in time or the need for a prolonged recovery period. There is no interruption of your normal activities. Just a few brief, gentle treatments, and then watch while your skin gradually rebuilds from the inside and your inner beauty begins to emerge.

Over a few months Cool Touch skin treatments gently restore what time has faded. Combined with a healthy lifestyle and the skin care program your physician recommends, These skin treatments can lead to younger looking skin, and help reveal a beautiful and confident new you.

There is no pretreatment required.
