Are you concerned about dark rings under the eyes, wrinkled and loose skin of the upper and lower eyelids? Are your eyebrows beginning to droop and make you look sad all the time? Well, the new Fractional Eyelift has arrived! Using the latest fractional laser resurfacing technology, Dr. Bruce Katz has pioneered this new procedure which is safe and effective with minimal downtime. It takes away dark rings and wrinkles, tightens upper and lower eyelid skin and helps to elevate drooping eyebrows. It has a good number of the benefits of a surgical eyelift without the risks and downtime. The only problem it doesn’t address is bulging fat pads. As metal eye shields are used during the procedure, there is no risk of injury to the eyes. Only a numbing cream is applied to the eyelids for anesthesia and three to five sessions are recommended at 2-3 week intervals.
With fractional laser resurfacing, the laser beam is broken into microscopic columns of laser light. When the beams strike, they leave normal surrounding skin areas intact so the outcome is very quick healing. These columns of laser light take away (or ablate) old, damaged collagen and elastic fibers so that new fresh tissue can grow into these channels. As this occurs, wrinkles and pigmentation are removed, skin tightens and the eyelids are rejuvenated. A recent study in over 300 patients showed consistent and very impressive results.

Improve Cellulite With Smoothshapes
Smoothshapes is the latest advance in cellulite treatment. Smoothshapes utilizes photomology, an exclusive technology that treats cellulite including subcutaneous fat by combining dynamic laser and light energy with mechanical manipulation. This newest technology consists of: 915nm laser to liquefy fat; 650nm light which increases cell membrane permeability, improves blood circulation and improves inflammation; contoured rollers to move liquids from the interstitial fluid into the lymphatic system; and vacuum which enables consistent light penetration to tissue. The standard treatment protocol for cellulite is 8 treatments administered 2 times per week for 4 weeks.
SmoothShapes is also beneficial before and after liposuction. SmoothShapes wavelengths increase the permeability of the fat cell which makes it easier to remove during liposuction. SmoothShapes reduces post procedure pain, bruising and swelling while providing smoothing of the skin and improvement in cellulite. The standard treatment protocol for SmoothShapes in combination with liposuction is 2 SmoothShapes treatments pre-liposuction and 6 SmoothShapes treatments post-liposuction.

Tighten Your Skin With Accent
Accent is a new treatment for skin tightening which utilizes dual-layer RF (radio frequency) thermotherapy. The Accent is the only system using two individual types of radio frequency technology--unipolar and bipolar. This unique technology provides controlled volumetric tissue heating to two distinct depths of tissue. The bipolar module focuses on the surface layer of the skin, while the unipolar module penetrates further into the skin for deep dermal thermotherapy. The bipolar treatment is perfect for areas where the skin is thinner and more delicate, such as the face, helping to smooth fine lines and wrinkles. The unipolar treatment generates alternating electromagnetic fields that cause friction and heating in the deeper tissues, which leads to improvements in overall shaping and firmness of the skin. Together, these dual-layer treatments can create dramatic change without the need for invasive surgery.
