Tetra CO2 laser
Tetra CO2 laser (fully ablative) with patented CoolPeel® technology to reduce the appearance of fine lines, reduce pore size, reverse sun damage, and improve skin texture and tone with minimal downtime.
Anti-Aging Rejuvenation
Over the years, the skin is damaged by the sun and other external factors, resulting in a rough texture, dry and dull appearance, and visible fine lines and wrinkles. Eventually, you need a refresh. The Tetra CO2 laser gently removes the top layer of the skin, revealing fresh, smooth skin underneath.
Skin Tightening and Plumping
As the laser removes the top layer of skin, the body’s natural healing response is triggered, promoting the production of new collagen. Collagen is what keeps your skin healthy and supple; by boosting this natural process, fine lines and wrinkles are smoothed, while textural irregularities like acne scars are healed. The result is youthful, plump skin.
Lutronic® Clarity II
The Clarity II laser by Lutronic® delivers powerful results for patients of all skin types, including those with darker skin tones, offering a quick and comfortable treatment experience. The Clarity II dual-wavelength laser platform delivers rapid, non-invasive hair removal, skin pigmentation, and rejuvenation results.
Hair Removal for Smooth Skin
Tired of constant shaving and painful waxing? In a 20-minute session, the Clarity II laser delivers powerful yet comfortable, long-lasting hair removal. The dual-wavelength laser utilizes Temperature Sensing and Skin Cooling technologies, so you’ll barely feel a thing as the laser targets hair at the follicle for smooth, hair-free skin.
Pigmentation and Skin Rejuvenation
Brighten, even, and rejuvenate your skin with the Clarity II. By targeting darker pigmentation on the skin, the Clarity II gently yet effectively removes pigmentation like sun spots or melasma, while boosting collagen production beneath the skin’s surface for a reinvigorated, youthful glow.
Vascular Lesions and Rosacea
If spider veins, broken capillaries, rosacea, and facial redness are detracting from your confidence, a quick session with our Clarity II laser can help. Just as the system targets dark pigments in hair, the Clarity II precisely treats vascular concerns for clear, even skin. Unlike invasive vein treatments, Clarity II delivers comfortable, rapid relief for a variety of concerns, finally giving you clear, calm skin.

Lutronic® ULTRA
The Lutronic® ULTRA laser delivers stunning skin resurfacing and rejuvenation results, providing smoother, more radiant skin. This non-ablative laser targets sun damage, uneven texture, fine lines, and pigmentation for a comprehensive, glowing result with minimal downtime.
Sun Damage and Pigmentation
Days spent in the sun start to add up, leaving you with sun spots, uneven tone, and wrinkles. Lutronic® ULTRA gives you a fresh start; this gentle treatment clears up patchy, uneven tone and texture, smoothes rough skin, and boosts collagen production for a more youthful, plump complexion.
Melasma Treatment
If you’re dealing with melasma flare-ups, the Lutronic® ULTRA can help. Through gentle treatments, the laser breaks apart pigment without overheating or damaging the skin. The result is clearer, more even, glowing skin.
Anti-Aging and Texture Refinement
Fine lines, wrinkles, and textural irregularities can detract from a healthy skin appearance. The Lutronic® ULTRA laser gently resurfaces the skin, removing dead and damaged cells while also stimulating collagen production for long-lasting results. As collagen builds up in your skin, fine lines and wrinkles diminish, resulting in a smooth, youthful appearance.
Bruise Elimination
The Lutronic® ULTRA also features a unique function that helps remove pigmentation from bruises, accelerating visible recovery after injury, tissue trauma, or as a post-surgical procedure. This is especially useful for patients recovering from facial rejuvenation surgery, such as a facelift, as bruising can deter you from getting back to regular activities. Patients can schedule their bruising treatment in conjunction with their facelift or facial rejuvenation procedure, under the guidance of Dr. Charvet.
