TRIACTIVE CELLULITE WORKSTATION

Dr. Gervais Fréchette is a treatment provider for the TriActive Cellulite Workstation. It is the only laser cleared for the temporary reduction of cellulite and facilitates the development of a more contoured, healthier-looking physique by smoothing and toning the skin anywhere on the body.

A Healthier-Looking Body—From Top to Bottom

Dr. Fréchette’s staff is properly trained and qualified to use TriActive. You can expect cellulite reduction after treatments and with regular maintenance treatments you will attain firmer, smoother skin.

TriActive uses an innovative and painless treatment suitable for all body and skin types. A comfortable mechanical massage with rhythmic aspiration distends the skin in various directions to enhance microcirculation—thereby increasing skin elasticity and improving lymphatic drainage. Six diode lasers penetrate tissue to stimulate fibroblasts for collagen production—yielding smoother, healthier-looking skin. An additional hand piece refreshes facial tissue and uncovers softer, more radiant skin for a younger-looking appearance. TriActive also features therapeutic massage functionality for relief of muscle pain. The system can be used in combination with other therapies to enhance the outcomes of surgical and non-surgical procedures such as liposuction and dermal fillers.

AFFIRM ANTI-AGING WORKSTATION

The Affirm Anti-Aging Workstation reduces wrinkles, treats scars and improves overall skin texture, pigmentation and redness, as well as coagulates tissue resulting in tighter skin. Affirm incorporates MultiPlex™ technology with Combined Apex Pulse™ (CAP) technology—the industry’s fastest laser-based energy source—and Xenon Pulsed Light (XPL) technology into one compact workstation.

The result? A complete skin rejuvenation solution that provides better and faster results with less pain than any other available product.

A Complete Treatment—In a Fraction of the Time

From pre-treatment preparation through post-treatment outcome, the Affirm dramatically improves all aspects of the anti-aging application.

A comprehensive solution: By uniquely combining three leading-edge technologies, the Affirm offers you a total skin rejuvenation system that targets all layers of photo-damaged and aged skin. Using CAP technology, the Affirm targets superficial layers of photo-damaged tissue. Our state-of-the-art XPL technology enhances clinical outcomes associated with the treatment of redness and pigmentation. Affirm’s newest feature—the MultiPlex technology—targets deep layers of collagen structures for skin laxity and tightening.

Superior technology: Competitive technologies provide only one level of heat intensity and fail to optimize collagen production. Our CAP technology has a specialized optical lens array that redistributes laser energy into varied levels of heat intensities, to simultaneously stimulate and remodel collagen. Since lower energy levels can be delivered to the skin without compromising effectiveness, your discomfort is significantly decreased while the healing process is rapidly accelerated.

Efficacious results: MultiPlex technology enables the sequential emission of two wavelengths in one pulse from the same delivery system. Lower individual energy levels during treatments minimize discomfort and accelerate recovery for faster, more effective results compared to single-wavelength technologies. These treatments are 400% faster.

By delivering approximately 1,000 diffractive micro-pulses in a 10-mm spot, CAP technology provides greater pattern density and requires fewer passes over a given area resulting in significantly faster treatment sessions. The absence of pre-treatment topical dyes also results in faster sessions and less pain.

ELITE AESTHETIC WORKSTATION

Cynosure’s Elite Aesthetic Workstation is the most comprehensive hair removal system available today regardless of skin type. In addition, the system is optimized for effective treatment of facial and leg veins, as well as benign epidermal pigmented lesions.

The Best of Both Worlds

The Elite removes unwanted hair with unsurpassed efficacy and comfort because of its revolutionary technology that combines two optimal wavelengths in one system.

Since we can switch between wavelengths during a single procedure, the most appropriate laser for any given hair or skin type can be selected. We can also perform multiple procedures during the same visit.

Easy, Safe, Effective And Fast

The 755-nm wavelength has high melanin absorption characteristics and proven long-term results for permanent hair reduction and pigmented lesion removal. The high-powered 1064-nm Nd:YAG is the safest wavelength for permanent hair reduction on darker skin types and tanned skin. It is also the wavelength of choice for treatment of facial and leg veins—the most common form of vascular lesions. The Elite delivers high fluence from large spot sizes ensuring deeper penetration, faster treatment sessions and optimal results. Unlike equipment with predetermined parameters, the Elite includes a variety of spot sizes and adjustable pulse durations that allow us to customize treatments for your specific needs.

SMARTLIPO LASER BODY SCULPTING WORKSTATION

The Smartlipo Laser Body Sculpting Workstation provides a less invasive technique than conventional liposuction methods. As the industry’s only laser-assisted lipolysis system designed to destroy fat cells and coagulate tissue for tighter skin, Smartlipo is ideal for treating localized fat deposits on the face and the body. In addition, Smartlipo can easily treat challenging areas—such as regions of high vascularity and flaccidity.

The Biggest Results In The Smallest Of Places

Smartlipo is a minimally invasive treatment that only requires local anesthesia—enhancing your safety and reducing the likelihood of side effects. Typically only one short treatment session is needed. The Smartlipo laser-assisted lipolysis system is a highly efficacious solution for destroying and permanently eliminating fat cells.

How does it work? A laser fiber is introduced through a small cannula, delivering energy directly to subcutaneous fat cells, causing them to rupture. The emitted energy also coagulates tissue, thus inducing collagen retraction and tissue tightening. The laser causes small blood vessels to coagulate immediately, which means less bleeding, swelling and bruising than conventional liposuction, and offers faster healing and recovery, given the cannula’s small size and gentleness of the procedure.
