“Real-life magic wands.”

“This new-generation of tools deliver targeted, controlled energy to the skin that gives me the power to powerfully address so many of my patients’ main areas of concern, from pore size and texture issues to skin laxity and scarring. They’re real-life magic wands!”

Laser therapies.

  • Treatments using specialized, energy-based instruments for powerfully treating specific areas of concern.

  • Powerful anti-aging effects.

  • For face, treatments give that powerful, no-makeup look.

  • Can be used almost anywhere on the body.

  • Little to no downtime.

My toolkit of energy-based devices are highly specialized, precision instruments for targeting difficult skin problems across on the body. These high-tech devices represent some of the most major advances in non-surgical skincare treatments ever. They have a huge range of applications, and when used properly can produce meaningful improvement whether your concern is general rejuvenation or specific repair.

These are a just a few things we see excellent results with from these tools:

  • Acne scarring and other scars from injuries.

  • Skin laxity on the face, neck and body.

  • Crow’s feet and “accordion mouth, as well as the delicate under-eye.

  • Skin tone, pore size and texture on the face, hands, neck and body.

We have three main devices in our clinic: Tetra CoolPeel, Virtue RF, and Subnovii – see below for details on each of them. The Skin RN is proud to be the only practice in the Albuquerque area with both Tetra CoolPeel and Virtue RF.

Tetra CoolPeel

CoolPeel is a new, non-invasive CO2 laser resurfacing treatment that targets age spots, sun damage, acne scars, loose skin and the effects of aging – and it’s the only CO2 laser on the market that can do this with little to no downtime.

I like to think of this one as the refinishing magic wand, because it’s a fabulous tool for addressing imperfections in tone and texture. It’s the gesso to prime your perfect canvas, or the skilled craftsperson refinishing a piece of designer furniture. Or maybe it’s like a supercharged pack of wildflower seeds we plant in rich soil and watch grow into something brighter and even more beautiful.

CoolPeel uses the “SmartXide” Tetra CO2 laser to remove the damaged upper layer of the skin, and then delivers nanoseconds of laser energy to the resurfaced area to stimulate collagen production. And unlike other CO2 laser skin resurfacing treatments, CoolPeel does not produce the intense heat of traditional CO2 procedures, which makes the treatment more comfortable and yields a shorter healing period.

Virtue RF

This instrument combines the power of radio frequency energy (RF) and microneedling for an effective yet minimally-invasive procedure to reduce fine lines and wrinkles, minimize pore size, and stimulate collagen and elastin production.

If CoolPeel is the ultimate resurfacing tool, I like to think of Virtue RF as a set of specialized paintbrushes. Its precision hand pieces are each designed to zero in on specific areas of concern:

  • SMART, with its 36 gold-tipped needles, was designed for the delicate contours and specific anatomy of the skin on your face. It improves texture, tightens and tones, reduces pore size and works wonders on acne scars.

  • EXACT is a tiny powerhouse that works to reduce bags and tighten crepey skin around the delicate eye area.

  • DEEP targets adipose tissue around the body to tighten the skin, improve surgical scars and reduce visible stretch marks.

The Ultimate Duo stimulates collagen production at both the superficial and deep levels of the skin without downtime. VirtueRF microneedling provides deep collagen remodeling and rejuvenation while CoolPeel produces a superficial injury by delivering high energy in extremely short-pulses. The outcome is impressive skin resurfacing results and the immediate and continually improving results of deeper collagen stimulation. 

This combination targets sun damage, fine lines and wrinkles, and overall skin tone and texture.

Ultimate Duo

What do you get when you combine Tetra CoolPeel and Virtue RF treatments? A power couple that delivers serious results. We call it “Ultimate Duo.”

Subnovii

This is the most advanced plasma technology on the market today. It’s an FDA-approved device that was the result of years of research and development. It works by delivering highly controlled, low-frequency wavelength energy and works wonders for the usually hard-to-treat, sensitive areas around the mouth and eyes.

According to one top surgeon, “[Subnovii] is the only non-invasive device I’ve seen that can deliver surgical-like results.”

All skin tones welcome.

You may have heard that some laser-based skincare treatments can be less effective on certain skin tones or textures. That doesn’t apply here.

The Skin RN uses Cartessa Aesthetics devices that were specifically-designed to be “Skinclusive.” That means that they work on everyone, and we expect equally dramatic, natural looking results for patients of every color.

Hands-on.

CoolPeel treatments work wonders on hands that could use a little love. Whether it’s laxity, age spots or sun damage, this treatment helps patients defy a sign of aging that’s all-too-often ignored.

Battle scars.

Almost everyone has a scar or two. Whether you consider yours a source of pride or something you’d rather hide, most of us would rather they not tell the whole story about us. With VirtueRF treatments, we can radically reduce the appearance of scars almost anywhere on the body. Battle those battle scars!
