With the Cynosure Elite™ the difference can be seen.  This revolutionary technology has taken aesthetic lasers to the next level.  When Cynosure combined the technology of two of their industry leading lasers into one, they forever changed the administration of aesthetic laser procedures.  The Elite™ combines the power of an Alexandrite and  Nd:YAG laser into one which makes for the most versatile piece of aesthetic laser equipment currently on the market.

The Cynosure Elite™ does more than just remove hair; patients can also be treated for pigmented lesions and facial and leg veins.  Gone are the days when clinics needed multiple machines in order to effectively treat all patients.  The Elite™ makes it possible to treat all patients, regardless of skin type, with one single machine.  A new era in laser technology has arrived…and it started with the Cynosure Elite™.

Stay Comfortable with the Cynosure Elite™
The Cynosure Elite™ is revolutionary because it can utilize multiple laser wavelengths during one single treatment, but there’s more to it than that.  Patients undergoing aesthetic treatments are very concerned with safety and comfort; both of which Cynosure took into consideration when developing the innovative Elite™ laser.

The Cynosure Elite™ combined with the Cryo-5 Zimmer Cold Air Cooling device equals the safest and most effective laser treatments on the market.  Using cold air cooling during aesthetic laser treatments can significantly reduce side effects and increase overall patient satisfaction.  The Elite™ utilizes this cooling technology in order to keep patients comfortable during treatment and reduce the overall aftereffects of the laser.

Have you been to the Buffalo Laser Spa lately, well if you haven’t we have something new and exciting that you will not believe when it comes to weight loss and body contouring. What if I told you that you can lose as much as five inches or more of fat off your body in two weeks? What if I also told you that it doesn’t require any surgery or bandages?

What was once thought to be impossible in Buffalo is now a reality. The Buffalo Laser Spa has searched for a miracle weight loss system for our customers and have found it in the Zerona® body contouring system. The Zerona® system is based on the use of five succinct lasers placed around a targeted area such as the waist, arms, legs or face. It then sends the cells a message that it needs to get rid of the fatty adipose tissue that is being stored. It opens a transitory pore that pushed the fat into the lymphatic system. The lymphatic system transports it to the circulatory system where it is excreted as waste.

You will need to attend six sessions at the Buffalo Zerona spa that is forty minutes in length. During the six sessions you will first lie on your back on a comfortable bed and put on a pair of tinted or protective glasses. You can talk on the phone or listen to headphones while this is going on. After the first 20 minutes is up, you will roll over on the bed for another 20 minutes. The lasers are “cold lasers” meaning that they don’t cause any ill side effects and which allows you to go about your normal day. This means no pain, no bandages or difficult instruction to worry about when you are done.

The whole process takes about four weeks. The first week is getting your body ready for the fat loss and taking your measurements. To get your body ready take the supplement provided by Buffalo Laser Spa, drink green tea, consume at least 64 ounces of water and maintain a low saturated fat diet. This plan allows for your body to get rid of as much fat as possible. It is of the utmost importance that you keep all appointments as they are scheduled in order to keep the transitory pore functioning at its best. Failure to keep all appointments and follow the prescribed plan will adversely affect your weight loss.

So don’t wait for something to happen to you before you think of trying the Zerona® program. It is clearly the safest and most efficient way to lose weight. Stop by our office in Buffalo, New York; email our friendly staff or call us to get started on this life changing event. Other procedures hurt so contact us to schedule your appointment today. Now is the perfect time to come in while the weather is getting colder and the snow is on the horizon to get your body ready for the any of the upcoming seasons and holidays.

Lazer hair removal is a common misspelling of laser hair removal.

With Laser Hair Removal, removing unwanted hair has never been easier.

Laser Hair Removal is not only quick and convenient, it’s also the most effective form of eliminating embarrassing and unwanted hair growth permanently. Our highly qualified laser professionals are committed to ensuring a complete understanding of the Laser Hair Removal process.  Our goal is for each of our clients to have a positive experience each and every time they walk through our doors. During your consultation we will educate you on the hair growth cycles as well as the different types of lasers used for hair removal so that you will know which laser will work best for your individual hair removal needs.

Laser Hair Removal treatments are individualized based on two main factors: skin tone and hair color.  Patients with skin tones ranging from light to dark can undergo safe and effective lazer treatments; however, those with lighter hair colors may not be candidates for the procedure.  The lazer is attracted to the pigment in your hair, therefore the darker your hair, the better results you’ll experience.  Those individuals with white, gray, red and blonde hair will not see effective hair removal results because there is not enough pigment (color) in their hair follicles; this means the lazer will not target and destroy the hair because it can’t ‘see’ them.  While patients with light hair may need to explore other hair removal options, patients with brown and black hair will see successful Lazer Hair Removal results.  Visit any of our clinics for a consultation today and determine if Lazer Hair Removal is right for you.

The GentleMax laser from Candela combines the best of both worlds, the gold standard GentleLase alexandrite laser for hair removal and the multipurpose GentleYAG laser in one convenient package. The two lasers in one package allow for smoother transitions between treatment types as well as conserve space for the practitioner. Candela continues to use the dynamic cooling device as a means of skin coolant and protection during treatments and with the Gentle Max this is no exception. This two in one laser can provide treatment for hair removal on all skin types, facial and leg veins, pseudo follicular barbae (beard bumps), pigmented lesions, age or sun spots, freckles, vascular lesions, wrinkle reduction and skin tightening.

The Alexandrite laser portion of the GentleMax is a 755 nm wavelength of light that is excellent for hair removal, as well as some vascular treatments and pigmentation spots. While it does have the ability to treat all skin types, it is best slated for the lighter skin colors known as the Fitzpatrick’s I- IV. The vascular lesions such as hemangiomas, venous lakes and blue facial veins can also be effectively eliminated as well as the reduction of some facial wrinkles. Typical hair removal treatments initiate the use of the dynamic cooling device or DCD to cool and protect the skin during the session. The rapid evaporative cooling also assists in maximizing comfort as well the providing epidermal protection which aides in faster recovery.

The YAG laser portion of the GentleMax utilizes the 1064nm wavelength of light. YAG wavelengths are excellent and safe for their ability to provide permanent hair reduction on tanned or very dark skin, as well as effectively eliminate spider veins, reduce wrinkles and tighten skin. With its use of long pulse high energy laser light technology, the beam of light that is emitted passes through the skin where it is absorbed by the targets without risk or damage to the surrounding skin. The GentleYAG provides superior non invasive non ablative methods to reduce wrinkles and tighten the skin on the face, neck and larger areas of the body. Laser facials with the YAG treat superficially to reduce wrinkles virtually painlessly with almost immediate results. YAG skin tightening treats the deeper dermis causing a thermal reaction to stimulate collagen beneath the surface of the skin causing skin to be firmer and tighter. Results can be seen in 4 to 6 weeks with 4 treatments needed to achieve optimal results.

The GentleMax provides several spot sizes to be able to customize the many cosmetic procedures this system can provide. A major benefit with the use of the Candela lasers is that it provides for the largest treatment spot size in industry. In regards to laser hair removal for example the 18 mm spot size can treat a man’s back in 30 minutes, as opposed to smaller spot sizes that can take an hour or more to treat. The varieties of treatment target sizes are available to maximize the effectiveness of each pulse for both the alexandrite and YAG lasers. The flexible pulse duration and adjustable epidermal cooling technology also allow for maximum patient safety and comfort. With the highly innovated computer controls and touch screen, deciding on treatment parameters are made easy when the proper treatment and skin types are put in the system. Not only is the GentleMax easy to use, but it will also provide consistent and reproducible results time and again.

Freckles, whether on the face or body, are something that most individuals experience, at least to some degree. Genetics and heredity play a large role in the outward appearance of our skin, but sun exposure and other harsh daily elements can also cause the pigment of our skin to change. While freckles are generally harmless, more and more men and women are looking for ways to remove unwanted freckles. There are several skin rejuvenation techniques for freckle removal currently available that can help you to restore clear, blemish free skin with lasting results.

Freckles are easily identifiable on the skin because they are small, flat and round, usually uniform in color and appear darker than the surrounding skin pigment. Freckle formation is due to cells called melanocytes—they generate an increased amount of melanin in the skin. When an increased amount of melanin exists, it collects abnormally in specific areas of the skin which leads to the formation of freckles. Freckles, for the most part, begin their development around the age of two, and while some individuals are genetically predisposed to freckles (many redheads will have overly freckly skin) it is repeated sun exposure that most often initiates and enhances their appearance. Freckles are not cancerous in nature and it is not medically necessary to remove them, but men and women often choose to remove unwanted freckles purely for aesthetic reasons.

When figuring out how to remove your unwanted freckles, it is important to take into consideration that there are two distinct types of freckles. The first type are called ephelides, the second type are called solar lentigines. Ephelides are also known as simple freckles; these are the freckles individuals are genetically inclined to get and therefore are harder (but not impossible) to remove. Solar lentigines are also known as sunburn freckles and because they are caused by sun exposure, they are more superficial and therefore easier to remove. While freckles most often appear on the face, neck, chest, back, shoulders, arms and hands, they can be seen anywhere; and can be removed from anywhere.

There are several treatments currently available designed to help remove unwanted freckles. These include:

Bleaching Agents: Bleaching agents specifically designed for freckle removal are not intended to bleach the skin; instead they work to inhibit the production of melanin which stops freckles from forming on the face and body. However, because the bleach is used on the entire skin area (not just the freckles) it sometimes tends to lighten the skin so it is not the most effective method.

Chemical Peels: Chemical peels work on many different levels to rejuvenate the face by removing the outer layers of skin. By removing dead skin cells and rejuvenating the face, blemishes are lightened which allows the skin to take on a more uniform appearance.

Laser/IPL Treatments: Laser and light based treatments for freckle removal are the most advanced treatment methods for unwanted freckles. The laser light attracts to the melanin in the freckles; the light energy then transforms into heat which effectively fragments the melanin particles which are naturally re-absorbed and expelled by the body’s immune system. A series of laser treatments can drastically reduce the appearance of unwanted freckles.

If you find that freckles are starting to form on your face and body and are searching for ways to stop it, the best freckle removal technique will always be prevention; work hard to stop the freckles before they start. Freckle formation prevention is very simple, just wear sunscreen. By protecting your skin from sun exposure, you’ll surely slow down (or even stop all together) the formation of unwanted freckles. Wear SPF 30 or higher every single day, whether in direct sunlight or not, to help keep your skin clear and blemish free.

Whether you are interested in prevention or are interested in how to remove your unwanted freckles, consider all of your treatment alternatives so that you can find the freckle removal technique that works best for you.
