Matrix RF Fractional Skin Resurfacing – Now Available at ALCC!

Thursday, July 23rd, 2009

Skin resurfacing has evolved rapidly over the last 15 years from ablative techniques to nonablative methods and most recently to fractional ablative resurfacing.

Affordable Laser and Cosmetic Clinic (ALCC) is proud to introduce the newest ‘member’ of the team, the Matrix RF. As the radio frequency energy is not a laser or light source, it can be used to treat any (even dark) skin type and results in wrinkle reduction, skin tightening, and improved colour and texture. there are varying intensities ranging from:

•Mild ablation & skin resurfacing with a shallow impact

•Moderate ablation & skin resurfacing with a mid-level impact

•Intense ablation & skin resurfacing with the deepest impact

Fractional technology reaches deeper into the skin, but covers the skin area in patterns of dots instead of a broader area. The RF energy induces a skin injury over the region of the matrix spots with an accelerated healing process supported by the non-affected tissue surrounding the matrix spots. This way, the treatment can produce much more effective colour and texture improvement–with significantly less recovery time than traditional C02 full ablative laser resurfacing.

Matrix RF technology is revolutionary because although the C02 laser resurfacing has been the gold standard for non-surgical facial skin rejuvenation in the last 10 years, its main drawbacks (prolonged recovery time in weeks, hypo-pigmentation, potential infection) were almost too much for most patients. Study results have concluded there is little downtime with the Matrix RF. This procedure also stimulates collagen, which is crucial in fighting the visible signs of aging within the skin.

In an FDA study with the Matrix RF, Dr. Hruza, a dermatologist from St. Louis, performed three treatment sessions, spaced three weeks apart on 2 dozen patients. A full face treatment takes about 15 minutes to complete. “The majority of these patients saw a 20% to 80% improvement in their wrinkles, skin brightness and tightness,” Dr. Hruza reported. Treatment results were particularly visible in the periorbital area, “with dramatic reduction in wrinkles, which a number of light-based fractionated devices have not been able to improve. we also achieved pretty good skin tightening on the cheeks, which was a pleasant surprise.”

Triniti Skin Rejuvenation treatment featured on “Keeping Up with the Kardashians”

Thursday, May 21st, 2009

The Triniti Skin Rejuvenation treatment is suitable for anyone that is seeking relief from blemishes, laxity, and wrinkles. If you are looking for a complete treatment that is as close to a non-surgical face lift, this is it!

The three pillars of total skin rejuvenation include:

1) RENEW – Dramatically reduce blemishes (Age spots, sun spots, freckles, broken capillaries, poor texture, fine lines). This is also called the Fotofacial RF.
2) REFIRME – Excess laxity can be reversed and tightened using this treatment, with no surgery or downtime.
3) REDUCE – With the Matrix, wrinkles are diminished and filled in by your skin’s own regenerative healing process, without needing artificial fillers or damaging or scabbing the surface of the skin.

This is the most impressive treatment protocol that we have seen in the past decade, with practically no downtime and no invasiveness, and is a well tolerated, comfortable procedure. Clients may return to work the same day.

Triniti(TM) Skin Treatment to be Featured in Keeping Up with The Kardashians Episode –Kris Jenner receives non-surgical treatment by Syneron(TM)
By: PR Newswire | 11 May 2009 | 05:33 PM ET http://www.cnbc.com/id/30689054/

IRVINE, Calif., May 11, 2009 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ — Kris Jenner, entrepreneur, talent manager, socialite, celebrity and co-star of the E! show Keeping up with the Kardashians, will receive the triniti(TM) skin treatment (http://www.trinitiskin.com), a treatment that dramatically reduces signs of aging, during the May 17 episode airing at 10/9c.

The triniti skin treatment is a 3-in-1 non-surgical procedure for skin tightening with ReFirme, color correction with FotoFacial RF and deep wrinkle treatment with Syneron’s Matrix series.

In this episode, Kris and her husband, former Olympian Bruce Jenner, debate a surgical or non-surgical makeover. Kris opts not to get plastic surgery and visits Dr. John Shieh of RejuvaYou Medical Spas in South Pasadena, California, to experience the latest in skin rejuvenation treatments.

“Many of my patients, especially in this economy, are opting out of going under the knife and instead choose non-surgical alternatives like laser treatments,” said Dr. Shieh. “Women don’t want the tight and plumped, overdone look and are using laser-based treatments like triniti skin treatment to achieve and maintain their desired appearance without the downtime and/or complications associated with surgical procedures.” With three treatments, each spaced four weeks apart, the triniti skin treatment, developed by Syneron(TM) Medical Ltd. (Nasdaq: ELOS), encourages collagen production and new skin cell growth.
