Ultherapy Uplifting Ultrasound

We're thrilled to introduce Ultherapy Uplifting Ultrasound ... a face and neck treatment that improves skin laxity in a meaningful way but completely non-surgically. As seen on "The Doctors" and in media all over the US, for the first time ever, Ultherapy enables us to direct sound waves not only into the skin but deep under the skin to the same tissue addressed in surgery. This gently heats the tissue to lift and tighten loose skin without cutting or disrupting the surface of the skin. Just one Ultherapy treatment triggers the body's own regenerative process of building new collagen to lift and tighten the skin - gradually, naturally, and from the inside out.

Dr. Anne, how do I take care of my skin in the winter months? This time of year my skin gets dry and chapped.

Jennifer, the dry air of winter, both indoors and outside, can make it difficult to keep skin from getting dry, chapped, and itchy. Harsh wind, low humidity, and indoor heating are common factors that sap moisture from the skin. This time of year, it's especially important to protect your skin, keeping it healthy, moisturized, and youthful.

Carolina Laser and Cosmetic Center will be among the first 100 dermatology offices in the US to receive Xeomin® for cosmetic use beginning October 2011

Xeomin®, a Merz Aesthetics product (maker of Radiesse), is being referred to as the "naked injectable" by physicians because it does not contain any additives or complex proteins. The benefit of this, according to Dr. Anne White, is that the body is less likely to have an adverse reaction to the treatment than with Botox®. Side effects and efficacy are expected to be similar to other botulinum toxin products.

"We are thrilled to have another highly effective botulinum toxin available to treat frown lines — which is one of the most commonly treated areas here at Carolina Laser," said Dr. Anne White. "By being selected to offer this cutting edge product to our clients as early as possible, Carolina Laser and Cosmetic Center is once again at the forefront of the latest advancements in skin treatment. We expect that the availability of Xeomin® will offer even more safety assurance to patients opting for this type of an injectable treatment and ultimately create some friendly price competition among its competitors."

Xeomin® was approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in July for the temporary improvement in the appearance of moderate to severe glabellar lines, more commonly known as frown lines between the eyebrows, in adult patients. This approval was based on two clinical trials that found that Xeomin® significantly improved the appearance of glabellar lines 30 days following the first injection.

Xeomin® will be available in dermatology offices around the United States in the spring of 2012; however, Carolina Laser and Cosmetic Center will be offering the treatment as early as November 2011. It is also approved for the improvement of glabellar lines in 14 countries in Europe under the brand name Bocouture.

We are proud to offer you the "gold standard" Hoya ConBio REVLITE laser!

Carolina Laser & Cosmetic Center is one of the first facilities in North Carolina to offer this latest advance in laser technology. "We have upgraded our technology to help offer our patients the highest power laser tattoo removal treatment in less time and with better results," says Dr. Anne White, a Fellow of the American Society for Laser Medicine and Surgery. "We offer the fastest treatment time and the least number of treatments to achieve excellent results." The RevLite laser offers 60% more power which means fewer treatments and the ability to remove tattoos to completion.

The Revlite laser is also an excellent way to create a smoother, healthier-looking complexion while stimulating ongoing collagen growth and smoothing lines and wrinkles. Because lasers penetrate deeper than any cream or lotion, they can provide a dramatic boost to your beauty routine. Injectable fillers can be used in combination with laser treatment for optimum overall results. RevLite safely targets pigmentation and sunspots, gently breaking the pigment into tiny particles. You'll notice the spot turning gray or white for a few minutes, a natural response of the skin as it absorbs the energy. The spot will then turn darker and sloughs off completely within one to two weeks. At this point, lighter skin starts to blend in as it heals, promoting an even toned appearance.
