How does Multitrepannic Collagen Actuation work?

MCA works by creating a minor trauma to the skin. The epidermis is stimulated to undertake its own natural rejuvenation, re-pigmentation, scar relaxation or whatever results the practitioner is striving for. As the needle enters the skin, the dermis starts the inflammation and swelling phase. Fibroblasts move into the area and start producing collagen and elastin to help with wound healing. If there is any visible condition that needs healing (swelling, bruising, etc), this will take about 3-7 days. In the process, the existing collagen levels are raised and good results are achieved. It is stated that the deeper the penetration in to the dermis, the better collagen and elastin deposition. Tissue remodeling is also a phase of MCA healing.

Stories And Testimonies About Latisse

One of the newest additions to Cosmetic Laser Studio is called Latisse. The Latisse solution is a growth treatment for lashes. In fact, it’s the only FDA-approved treatment clinically proven to grow lashes. And it’s the only lash growth product of its kind available by prescription. There’s been a growing interest in this product ever since it was introduced. And it’s no wonder. This is the first and only FDA-approved prescription treatment for inadequate or not enough eyelashes, growing them longer, fuller and darker.

Below are some testimonials that we would like to share with you about Latisse by the real individuals who sought after and found results with this unique and easy to use solution.

"When LATISSE® came out, I was skeptical, but my doctor recommended it to me and within weeks I had lashes. Few at a time, but they were growing. In about 2 months, my lashes were thicker and darker. My friends and family see the difference."

- Danielle

"While pregnant with my second child at 23, I went through a lot of stress and, as a result, I began to lose my eyelashes... to the point where I literally had none! My eyes looked weird. It was embarrassing. I never realized the value of my eyelashes until they were gone.

To make up for the loss, I started wearing false eyelashes all the time, which wasn't always convenient. But, I kept wearing them… for decades! I'd pretty much given up hope of ever having eyelashes again.

Then, at age 61, I was asked to participate in a clinical study for eyelash growth by my doctor. He didn't make any promises, but I was hopeful. The results were amazing! Finally, my lashes grew back thick and long! I was so excited. Now I have beautiful, long eyelashes."

- Jeannie

Thermage Overview

Thermage is a safe, clinically proven way to tighten and contour skin, with improvements in tone, contour, and texture occurring naturally through the stimulation of your own collagen. Thermage is completely non-invasive-no surgery, no injections. A single treatment tightens your existing collagen and stimulates new collagen growth. Improvements are both immediately visible and continue up to six months. The results can last for years.

Cosmetic Laser Studio founder and director, Dr. Dee Carter explains, "Thermage is not brand new. The exciting difference is the new treatment algorithms that have been recently developed that are resulting in significantly improved results for patients. The best candidates for Thermage are women in our area who are between a chemical peel and a full-blown face lift. Thermage achieves very good skin tone improvement in a lower cost and less invasive therapy compared to plastic surgery."

Unlike some lasers, Thermage works on all skin types and tones. And unlike injections or fillers, Thermage works on your entire face - forehead, eyes, nasolabial folds, jaw line, jowls and the area under your chin.

If you no longer recognize the face looking back at you in the mirror, it's time to talk to certified Thermage physician Dr. Carter and learn how Thermage can help you look as young as you feel.

Laser Vein Treatments

Cosmetic Laser Studio's Fotona Nd:Yag laser has a wavelength of 1064 nanometers. This wavelength targets hemoglobin or blood. Each vessel is traced with pulses of laser light. As the energy is absorbed by the blood in the vessel, heat is created and the vessel wall is destroyed. The vein will die and the body will clear away the tissue as it would clear away a bruise. Treatments with Cosmetic Laser Studio's Fontona Nd:Yag laser require no anesthetics and no downtime, with very low risk of side effects. People with all skin colors can be safely treated.

Most people wonder how long will it take for their veins to disappear.
We have found that each client's body will have its own time schedule for how quickly veins will be reabsorbed. This could range from days to weeks and possibly months.

The Back Story On MCA

All procedures and medical techniques must begin somewhere. State of the art medicine is innovation at its finest. The same is true with MCA. Also known as Multitrepannic Collagen Actuation is a non-surgical and entirely natural way of getting the body's own cells to regenerate and minimize wrinkles.

A little history lesson...

The first written works were from a Doctor Camairand who discovered that scars of some clients that he had tattooed with pigment were in fact re-pigmenting naturally. He named the process Trepanation. A Doctor Des Dernandes read this article and experienced that abraded scars would plump up. Doctor Kristan Matzek, who is a leading micropigmentation specialist and who is also the Vice-President of the American Academy of Micropigmentation discovered that using dry-needle technique" to scars and wrinkles would give favorable results to minimize these and other problems. It is possible (in some cases) for an experienced practitioner to erase up to 10 years from the aging face of men and women- without surgery or even Botox.

Happy New Years!

Smart Lipo is an increasingly popular procedure. With most of our new years resolution dealing with weight loss or weight management, SmartLipo could really increase the odds of seeing success. If you’ve tried dieting and exercise but parts of your body have simply refused to tone up, this could be an option for you.

Laser Body sculpting is a revolutionary, minimally invasive treatment that does something no fitness routine in the world can: permanently destroy fat cells. Since your body has only a finite amount of these cells, no new fat cells come back. You can finally have that body you’ve always wanted.

LaserBodySculpting is meant for areas that do not respond to diet or exercise. The perfect candidate is in good health and of normal body weight.
