Our laser certified physicians perform all of our laser aesthetic treatments, specific to our client’s skin type and tones. We believe physicians can provide the safest and most effective laser aesthetic treatments. A master aesthetician and registered nurse are also on staff to provide professional care and safety. Our focus is on client education, pre-procedure and post-procedure information and care, as well as assurance of client comfort and optimal recovery.

S.U.L.A. is pleased to provide the unique FDA approved combination treatment using the Laserscope Lyra and Aura for the procedure that is becoming known industry-wide as “skin rejuvenation”. By combining visible light (of the Aura) and infrared light (of the Lyra), we are able to treat noticeable coloration defects and also provide the skin toning, tightening and texture improvements that clients are seeking. Non-invasive techniques for skin rejuvenation are quickly being established as a new standard in the treatment of mild wrinkles and overall skin toning. All patients show improvement even after the first treatment. Skin rejuvenation helps collagen tighten and tone, reducing skin sagging.

The combination of three lasers, the Laserscope Lyra, Aura, and Venus work together to remove facial telangectasia, rosacea, pigmented lesions, melasma, and other skin color defects. This combination treatment is extremely popular with clients because the effects are noticeable and immediate with very little downtime.

FDA clearance has also been received for the non-invasive treatment of permanent hair reduction in all skin types and tones, the treatment of pseudo-folliculitis (shaving bumps) and the treatment of vascular lesions as well as leg veins.

In addition to Laser Aesthetics, Botox® and dermal filler injections are now being performed by the physicians at S.U.L.A. The injectables that are currently available at S.U.L.A. include: Botox®, Hylaform®, Hylaform® Plus and Captique^TM. Injectables that will be available in the near future include: Cosmoderm® and Cosmoplast®, as well as, Radiesse^TM.

Physician-grade skin care and cosmetics are also available at S.U.L.A. to enhance the effectiveness of procedures and to help improve recovery time. We also provide acne and anti-aging skin care products. Our Master Aesthetician can recommend the products most beneficial for your specific skin type.

Graduated compression hose and socks are available for both men and women who may require additional support after treatment of leg veins and vascular lesions. See the support hosiery and accessories section of our webpage for more information on compression hose and socks.
