At this very moment you’re sitting in the reception area, waiting for your name to be called, and would like to look at something other than your cellphone. If that’s the case, lend us those beautiful eyes for a moment and we’ll provide you with some knowledge you can impress your friends with over dinner or a cocktail. Lasers are not a new topic, but they’re trending and hotter than ever before. They can be found almost anywhere and serve many purposes. Lasers are used to scan retail goods such as groceries; to operate electronic systems like DVD players and oce printers; to cut, coagulate and vaporize tissues in invasive surgical procedures; to cut and engrave metal; and in the world of medical aesthetics, to remove unwanted hair, wrinkles, tattoos, sun spots and vascular lesions – and that’s just to name a few!

Beauty Redefined
I
n one way or form, beauty matters to us all. It could be the beauty of one’s soul or the aesthetics of personal appearance, either way; we all find pleasure in the attractive aspects of life. Our personal appearance can often impact howwe live our lives. When we look our best, we tend to feel our best, in turn increasing our confidence and boosting our self esteem. But what is it that we find beautiful? When young, we often strive to follow trends—to mirror the image of our peers that we find attractive. After 35, many of us try to reflect a younger version of ourselves, holding on to moments of our lives that perhaps we took for granted. Regardless of what is it, appearance continues to be an important variable and the statistics speak for themselves.
A
ccording to the 2018 Plastic Surgery Statistics Report minimally-invasive cosmetic procedures (such as laser treatments), have shown a tremen- dous increase since the early 2000s. From 2000- 2018 laser hair removal treatments have increased by 46%, of which 17% of pa- tients being male and 83% female. Similarly, laser skin resurfacing has shown astounding growth, up a staggering 248%. To put it in to perspective, in 2000, 4,847,561 minimally- invasive cosmetic procedures were per- formed, whereas in 2018, 15,909,931 proce- dures were performed, showing a 228% increase over the last 18 years. These figures demonstrate an important factor; that more people are investing more time and more money in their appearance than ever before. However, what is more important is to under- stand why. Why has the demand for mini- mally-invasive cosmetic procedures steadily increased over the last two decades? One might speculate a rather simple answer—Our expected time on this beautiful planet we call Earth has increased.
As defined, beauty is the quality or aggregate in a person or thing that gives pleasure to the senses or pleasurably exalts the mind or spirit.

T
ime is the essence of our existence. It is the force that ignites our motivation. It drives our decisions, our commitments and our desires. Time is sacred. As magnificent as time is, it is forever fleeting. Time doesn’t wait — it constantly changes everything, including us. As the clock ticks and the days pass, we become a road map of age, charted with scars, wrinkles, and stretch marks. As we mature, we are stripped of the beauty of youth, of taut, unblemishe skin. Essen- tially, time is beauty’s kryptonite. As the years fall behind us, so does our collagen and elastin—es- pecially if we haven’t protected ourselves from harmful extrinsic contributors, e.g.: unprotected sun exposure, tanning beds, poor hygiene, etc. Since the 1800s we have nearly doubled our life expectancy, gifting us with greater knowledge, access to more resources, and a richer quality of life than was ever expected or hoped for. For cen- turies, people long sought the “fountain of youth”, thus seeking longevity both inward and outward. Potions, serums, and stimulants were used for centuries in the hopes of staying young and beau- tiful. Today, we have science on our side. Fortu- nately for us, modern medicine and various socio-economic factors have granted us signifi- cant achievements. As our lifespan increases and technological advancements collide, humans have capabilities that could not have been dreamed of a hundred years ago. However, accompanying this treasured longevity, comes a thirst for more— to capture the characteristics of our youth. Although, today, it is impossible to stop aging, we now have the tools and information to slow it down, to experience chrono- and pho- to-aging on our own terms, allowing us to look and feel better. In the era in which we now live, medical aesthetic technologies such as laser treatments have em- powered men and woman alike around the world by improving a myriad of skin conditions, such as wrinkles, acne scarring, pigment and vascular lesions, removing unwanted hair or tattoos, to tightening and contouring body areas. Such devices have provided patients the opportunity to feel great pleasure and satisfaction by obtaining the results they wanted, without significant discomfort or downtime.

Innovative Technology that is comfortable, safe, and surpasses patient expectations. The Invention Of Laser The development of the laser did not happen over- night - it took years in the making. Interesting enough, even though Albert Einstein didn’t create the laser, he paved the path for its eventual development through his research demonstrated in his published paper: The Quantum Theory of Radiation in 1917. It would be over 40 years later that Theodore H. Maiman brought the concept to fruition by creating and firing the first Laser in 1960. Is My Flashlight A Type Of Laser? No, a laser is not to be confused with a flashlight, the headlights on a car, or the overhead lights in the living room. A flashlight emits a polychromatic light (a white light), meaning that it is comprised of a mixture of colors and wavelengths, whereas the light that is released from a laser is monochromatic - emitting a single wavelength of light (a specific color). In com- parison, the light that is released by a laser is coherent, meaning that the photons are all travelling parallel to each other, whereas the light from a flashlight is inco- herent; the photons travel in many dierent directions and not in unison. A laser is also collimated, meaning that it has a very focused, narrow path, producing a much tighter beam of light than a flashlight.
Why Is Laser So Popular In Medical Aesthetics?
Like the evolution of the human species, the laser has gone through some remarkable transformations, and due to their versatility, lasers continue to dominate quite a large share of the medical aesthetic industry. More physicians are opting to oer laser treatments due to patient awareness and demand. Patients are seeking out treatments performed with laser and other light-based devices as they are often accompanied with less risk, fewer side eects, and minimal to no downtime, compared to their invasive surgical counterparts. In addi- tion, patients have found medical aesthetic technology to have high satisfaction ratings, aordable prices, and it has been approved by governing regulatory bodies which provides a greater level of confi- dence for any patient deciding to have a treatment done. Whether it’s skin tightening, the CC Peel, or body contouring, SharpLight’s treatments oer many benefits to patients apart from the results; they are fast, comfortable and come with little to no downtime. For treatments, such as tattoo removal (that are described as minimal- ly to moderately uncomfortable), your practitioner may discuss options with you to such as applying a topical anesthetic on the treatment area to reduce any possible discomfort. Now that you’ve completed your 3 minute laser ‘crash course,’ we hope that you have a better under- standing of what the technology is, how it works, and that you’re more confident when making decisions about what type of treatment to have done. To learn more about the various types of treatments that SharpLight oers, talk to your practitioner today.

In a split second, you can go to the beach, the pool, or just wear the outfit of your choice without thinking about your exposed skin. Over the past decade men have also chosen to get rid of unwanted hair, which has made the treatment even more popular.
Imagine never having to take care of unwanted hair on your body ever again!
How does it work? Dynamic Pulse Control™ (DPC) technology is a powerful light-based tech- nology that e ectively targets the hair follicle without harming any other parts of the skin. During the treatment, the heat energy denaturizes the melanin in the hair follicle, as a result that follicle cannot grow new hair. Frequently Asked Questions Q. When will I see results? A. Immediately, two weeks following the first treatment you will begin to see results and significantly less hair will grow back, additionally with each treatment the amount of hair regrowth will decrease. Q. How long does each treatment take? A. The typical regimen is 6-10 treatment sessions, spaced 4-12 weeks apart. Treatment time depends on the area treated. The average treatment takes about half an hour. Q. Why are multiple treatments necessary? A. About 20-25% of human hair follicles on the body are in the active growth phase at any given time. This is the percentage of hair follicles that can be destroyed in a single treatment session. ln order to eliminate almost 70% of the hair, treatments should be repeated until the desired result is achieved. Q. Are the treatments safe and painless? A. SharpLight's pulsed-light treatments are non-invasive and very safe. During the procedure, there may be a slight 1-2 second, momentary tingling sensation that may be felt, but no pain. The treatments leave you with zero downtime, so you can get them done during your errands or lunch hour and resume to your daily routine.

SKIN REJUVENATION
Goodbye Wrinkles, Hello Collagen!
I noticed after a few years how damaged my skin was getting due to sun exposure; sun spots. After getting Sharplight’s Skin Rejuvenation treatment, all those sun spots have disappeared and left my skin looking young and fresh in just 2 treatments!

How does it work? During treatment, DPC pulses are emitted onto the target area. Depending on the condition that is being treated, your aesthetic physician can choose the best energy level- from very high to low pulses. The pulses penetrate the dermis layer of the skin and heat up the tissue. The heat causes the collagen fibers to contract, which yields immediate skin tightening results. It also stimulates the body to create new collagen, which helps the skin restore its elasticity and firm- ness delivering long-term results. Frequently Asked Questions Q. When will I see results? A. You will see visible results after the very 1 st treatment. Your skin will feel tighter and smoother. In order to achieve long-term results, it is recommended to undergo several treatments. Q. Are there any side e ects? A. No. You might experience temporary redness in the treatment area which should pass within several hours. Q. How many treatments are required? A. The typical regimen is an average of 5 treatment sessions, spaced 4 weeks apart for optimal results. A full facial skin rejuvenation treatment takes anywhere between 15-30 minutes, after which you can continue your daily routine. Q. Are the treatments safe and painless? A. SharpLight's skin rejuvenation treatment is non-invasive and 100% safe. During the procedure, there may be a slight 1-2 second, momentary stinging sensation that may be felt, but no pain. The treatments have no downtime so you can get them done during your lunch hour and immediately proceed with your daily routine.
Today, more than ever, you can easily fight the signs of aging and restore your skin’s youthful appearance. Skin rejuvenation treatments using light-based technologies have dramatically increased over the past several years. In the United States alone they are the 4 most popular non-invasive treatment.

How does it work? During treatment, Dynamic Pulse Control (DPC) pulses are emitted into the skin. Due to the specific wave- length of the pulses, the pigmented lesion optimally absorbs the light energy. The energy causes the pigmented lesion to break and eventually disappear while leaving the rest of the skin unharmed. Initially this process will manifest as darkening of the pigment, then a scab will cover the treated area which is then natu- rally exfoliated within 1-2 weeks. Frequently Asked Questions Q. What types of pigment can be treated? A. SharpLight’s solution is appropriate for treating a wide variety of pigmentation concerns such as sun damage, age spots and freckles on the face, neck, chest, hands, arms, legs and feet. Q. Does it work on all skin types? A. DPC technology has been clinically proven to remove unwanted pigmentation on skin types (I-V). Q. What kind of result can I expect? A. After the very first treatment you can expect to see a reduction in the appearance of unwanted skin pigment, and following multiple treatments the pigmentation will disappear and your skin will be more even in tone. Q. How many treatments are necessary? A. The typical regimen is an average of 4-6 treatment sessions, depending on the size of area being treat- ed. They should be spaced 4 weeks apart for optimal results. This is due to any natural healing that will occur during treatment. Pigmented lesions are darkened spots on the skin.
Their causes vary - they can be hereditary, or appear after hormonal changes such as those that occur during childbirth. The majority of pigmented lesions known as ‘sun spots’ or ‘solar lentigines’ are caused by over exposure to the sun’s damaging UV rays and begin to appear around the age of 40. With SharpLight's treatment, you can safely and eectively get rid of unwanted pig- mentation. The treatment is painless, fast and with absolutely no downtime. Best of all, most patients can see dramatic results after the very first session.

Aesthetic technologies combat the signs of aging and dramatically firm loose skin.
How does it work? Dynamic Pulse Control (DPC) is a powerful light-based technology. During treatment, the DPC pulses are directed at the vascular lesion. The pulses have a specific wavelength which is optimally absorbed by the hemoglobin chromophores (a red protein responsible for transporting oxygen to the blood in the lesion). The pulses heat up the hemoglobin resulting in blood clotting that disintegrate the vascular lesion. Frequently Asked Questions Q. How long does each treatment take? A. Treatment time depends on the area and the number of lesions being treated. The treatment time ranges from a few minutes. Q. How many treatments will I need? A. The typical regimen is an average of 1-3 treatment sessions, depend- ing on the size of area being treated. They should be spaced 2-4 weeks apart for optimal results, this is due to any natural healing that will occur between treatments. Q. Are the treatments safe and painless? A. SharpLight's pulsed-light treatments are non-invasive and 100% safe. During the procedure, there may be a slight 1-2 second, momentary tingling sensation that may be felt, but no pain. The treatments leave you with zero downtime so you can get them done during your errands or lunch hour and be back to your daily routine. Q. Am I a good candidate for this procedure? A. DPC technology has been clinically proven to remove unwanted vascular lesions on skin types I-V. Q. What kinds of results can I expect? A. Immediately following treatment you will see a noticeable decrease in the vascular lesions treated. After you undergo several treatments, the lesion will disappear completely.
Suddenly, you look in the mirror and you notice spider veins or broken capillaries. The good news is that with SharpLight’s treatment, you can quickly and eectively remove these unwanted vascular lesions and restore your skin to its vein free complexion. There are many factors that cause vascular lesions to develop. A backup of blood in the vein is the most common cause. In addition, they can arise as a result of sun exposure or due to hormonal changes such as pregnancy or menopause.

With the Fractional Laser, slight tingling might be felt when the beam is emitted, yet the treatment is extremely tolerable with minimal downtime. Q. How many treatments are required? A. For mild to moderate acne, a typical regimen is 8 short treatment sessions over a period of one month to reduce papules and pustules by 70%. For post acne scars, approximately 3 treatments are required. Q. What are the avdantages of SharpLight’s treatment? A. Patients treated with DPC technology experience zero side eects, rapid diminishing of acne and reduced psychological stress. The treatment also reduces the likelihood of acne lesions that leave permanent scars. The advantage of the Fractional technology is that it delivers impressive scar reduc- ing results. The Fractional laser is signficantly gentler than standard lasers with minimal downtime.
There are many reasons for acne, including hormonal changes, stress and hygiene. Mild to moderate inflammatory acne is very common. Unfortunately, in some cases the acne doesn’t heal properly, resulting in acne scars. SharpLight’s treatment uses a dual technology platform to treat acne and acne scars. Its Dynamic Pulse Control (DPC) technology optimally treats inflammatory acne while the Fractional Laser technology treats acne scars. Depending on the exact condition of your acne, your aesthetic practitioner will customize a treatment that best suits your needs.

Has your face changed? Are are conscious about the fact that you have a double chin or jowls? Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered! SharpLight’s treatment is highly eective and pain- less. In just a few treatments, you can get rid of the unwanted fat deposits and tighten lax facial skin. You will notice a more youthful appearance to your skin.
solution that can help you restore the original contours of your face.
How does it work? SharpLight’s facial contouring treatments perform two actions simul- taneously - fat reduction and skin tightening. The treatment uses two advanced technologies - VermaDerm , and Radio Frequency. Each technology emits energy at a certain frequency. The wavelengths target the water in fatty pockets beneath the skin and heat them. The heat causes the fat deposits to significantly shrink in size. The released fat is then absorbed by the body’s lymphatic system and naturally cleared away. In parallel, the heat causes the collagen fibers in the skin to contract, resulting in immediate skin tightening. The heat also stimulates the body to produce new collagen which restores the skin’s firmness and elasticity for long term results. Frequently Asked Questions Q. What kind of results can I expect? A. The average session involves 6–12 treatments spaced over 1-4 week intervals. Maintenance treatments may be required to keep the results. Q. Is the treatment safe? A. Clinical trials have confirmed that the VermaDerm and RF tech- nologies safely and eectively reduce unwanted fat, without any side-eects. Q. How soon can I return to my daily routine? A. There is absolutely no downtime with the facial contouring treat- ment and you can immediately return to your daily activities. You can also have the treatment during your lunchtime break and go back to work with an improved contoured face. Q. Does the treatment hurt? A. You will feel your skin warming up, but this is not painful. Many patients have reported that it feels like a warm massage sensation that may be felt, without pain. The treatments leave you with zero downtime, so you can get them done during your errands or lunch hour and be back to your daily routine.

How does it work? SharpLight’s treatment combines two highly eective technolo- gies - VermaDerm, a proprietary technology based on Infrared and Radio Frequency. Each technology is dierent, however, what they have in common is that both technologies produce wavelengths that use water as their targeted chromophore thus heating up the fat cells to significantly shrink in size. The released fat is then naturally cleared by the body’s natural mechanisms. Simultaneously, the heat also causes the skin to tighten. So at the end of the treatment you will enjoy tighter, firmer, and more youthful looking skin. Frequently Asked Questions Q. How long do the treatments take and are they safe? A. Body contouring treatments take approximately 20-60 minutes, depending on the size of the area being treated. These treatments are non-invasive, safe and pain-free! There is no down time associated with the treatments so you are able to resume your regular activities immediately following the treat- ment. Q. How long is the process to see results? A. The typical regimen is 8-12 treatment sessions, spaced 2-4 weeks apart. Treatment time depends on the area treated. The average treatment takes about half an hour. Q. What kind of results can I expect? A. A typical body contouring treatment can decrease body measurements by 3-6 centimeters (though results may vary from person to person). Q. Is the SharpLight body contouring treatment right for me? A. SharpLight’s treatment is best suited for individuals with stubborn fat pockets that seem resistant to diet and exercise.

STRETCH MARKS Don’t Live With Marks You Don’t Want
When I was a teenager I got stretch marks on my breasts and on the inside of my thighs.

How does it work? SharpLight’s VermaDerm technology consists of Infrared waves capable of reaching the deeper dermal layers where the stretch mark scars are formed. The Infrared waves heat up the scar tissue which stimulates the body to produce new collagen and elastin. These proteins are the building blocks of the skin, and with renewed supplies, the body begins to correct the scar tissue and replace it with new unmarked tissue. Stretch marks are one of the most common skin conditions, over 55% of women and 25% of men have them. A. Treatment is safe and eective on most skin types! SharpLight’s handpiece has a built in cooling compo- nent that cools the top layer of the skin and protects the epidermal layers of the skin. Removal of stretch marks using SharpLight’s technology makes it easier than ever to get rid of unwanted stretch marks. Stretch marks are eliminated through a quick, pain-free and completely non-invasive method. In just a few treatments your skin will regain its natural form and look clearer and smoother. Q. How long does a stretch mark removal treatment take? A. One VermaDerm Infrared treatment can take anywhere between 30-60 minutes, depending on the part of the body that is being treated. Q. How many treatments are recommended? A. While some patients see a noticeable decrease in their stretch marks after their very first treatment, others may require a series of treatments.Treatments are performed 2-4 weeks apart for optimal results. After new collagen forms, you will see a dramatic reduction in the appearance of stretch marks. Frequently Asked Questions Q. Are VermaDerm Infrared treatments safe?
Stretch Marks are created when the skin is stretched beyond its capacity. Common reasons include pregnancy, weight gain and puberty. Just because they appeared, doesn’t mean they need to stay! Using SharpLight's VermaDerm technology, you can easily reduce unwanted stretch marks. The treatment is highly eective and most people see results after the very first session. There is absolutely no pain, and following treatment you can immediately resume your daily activities.

How does it work? During treatment, your aesthetic practitioner will use Radio Frequency that targets water in the fat cells. These fat cells are usually enlarged, and are the reason behind the dimpling of the skin. The endothermic heat produced by this advanced Radio Frequency treatment, significantly reduces the size of fat cells, which contributes the appear- ance of smoother skin. The heat also breaks the extracellular fibers that cause the dimpling of the skin. As a result, the skin is restored to its original form. Frequently Asked Questions Q. How long do the treatments take and are they safe? A. Cellulite treatments take around 20-60 minutes, depending on the size of area being treated. These treatments are non-invasive, safe and pain-free! There is no downtime associated with the treatments, so you are able to resume your regular activities immediately following treatment. Q. When will I see results? A. Following the very first treatment you will see an improvement in your skin. There will be a decrease in cellulite and your skin will feel firmer and tighter. However, to achieve optimal long-term results, a series of treatments is recommended. Q. I’ve tried everything to get rid of cellulite. Why does the SharpLight cellulite treatment work? A. SharpLight’s Radio Frequency technologies have been clinically proven to reduce unwanted cellulite. Unlike gels or creams, the treatment structurally changes the skin. It reduces fat deposits and improves skin laxity- the two factors that cause cellulite.
Almost all women develop cellulite, but this doesn’t mean you need to live with it. If the cellulite on your body is bothering you, you can reduce it in no time, and go back to wearing your favorite swimsuit! Cellulite aects almost 90% of women at some point during their lives. It appears regardless of your body weight, and it usually aects women who are otherwise slender and fit. Cellulite is often genetic and worsens with age.

How does it work? SharpLight’s treatment uses an advanced Er:Yag 2940 Fractional Laser. The treatment is unique since unlike tradi- tional lasers that ablate large areas of the skin, the Fractional Laser ablates only a ‘fraction’ of the skin. It does this by ablating micro-columns in the skin. The columns are separated by healthy tissue, which quickens the recovery period. The depth of the micro-columns can be adjusted to reach the source of the scarring. Following the ablation, the body replaces scarred skin with structurally correct healthy tissue, the scar making it significantly less noticeable. Frequently Asked Questions Q. How many treatments are required? A. Although results are apparent after the very first treatment, a minimum of 3 treatment sessions are recom- mended in order to reach visibly clear results. Treatments can take approximately 20-40 minutes depending on the A. SharpLight’s laser treatments are non-invasive and safe. Depending on the patients needs and expectations, the laser energy can be set to dierent strengths to aect varying depths, allowing practitioners to provide patient-tailored treatment plans. Q. What are the advantages of SharpLight's treatment? size of the area being treated. Q. Are the treatments safe? A. The advantage of the Fractional technology is that it delivers impressive scar reducing results. The Fractional laser is significantly more gentle than other lasers with tremendous downtime.

How does it work? Radio Frequency and Infrared technologies have long established themselves as powerful solutions that deliver eective skin firming results. While each technology functions dierently, combined they create a synergistic eect that quickly and deeply stimulates the body to create new collagen and elastin – proteins responsible for the skin firmness and suppleness. The VermaDerm Infrared and Radio Frequency waves heat up the tissue and cause the existing collagen fibers to contract, yielding immediate skin firming results. Con- currently, the heat stimulates the fibroblasts in the dermis to create new collagen and elastin which rebuilds the skin and provides long-term skin tightening results. Frequently Asked Questions Q. How many treatments are required? A. The typical regimen for optimal results requires an average of 9 treatment sessions, spaced 1-4 weeks apart. A full facial skin tightening treatment takes anywhere between 15-30 minutes, after which you can continue your daily routine. Q. Are the treatments safe and painless? A. SharpLight’s skin tightening treatment is non-invasive and safe. Treatment with Radio Frequency is very comfortable, you will feel your skin heating up, and it will feel like a warmmassage. The VermaDerm IR treat- ment has a dierent warming sensation, and the handpiece has a built-in cooling component that cools the top layer of the skin during the treatment, that creates for a more comfortable treatment. Q. Can all skin types be treated? A. VermaDerm is only indicated for skin type 1-V, while Radio frequency can be used on all skin types. Aesthetic technologies combat the signs of aging and dramatically firm loose skin.
Lax skin is part of the natural aging process. As we age, we begin to lose collagen and elastin proteins vital to the skin’s structure. Additional factors include genetics, sun exposure and diet, which can significantly sag the skin. SharpLight’s treatment uses the latest in Infrared and Radio Frequency technology, which have been clinically proven to safely and eectively tighten and firm the skin.

TATTOO REMOVAL
Tattoo Regret? Re-Think Your Ink
I recently got my ex's name permanently removed from my chest and now I finally feel like I am free! Just a few treatments were needed, but now I won't be reminded of my past every time I look in the mirror.

How does it work? SharpLight’s tattoo removal treatment uses Q-Switched laser technology that targets the ink of the tattoo and applies localized pulses of light aimed to decompose the tattoo’s pigment clusters. This laser light safely passes through the skin’s outer layer and is absorbed by the ink. The light creates an acoustic eect, which breaks the ink down into smaller particles, making the tattoo fade and eventually disappear. Frequently Asked Questions Q. How does it work? A.

The light creates an acoustic eect, which breaks the ink down into smaller particles, making the tattoo fade and eventually disappear. Q. How many treatments are required? A. Each tattoo is unique and requires a dierent number of treatments, depending on the depth of ink penetration, the size, age, and color of the tattoo itself. ln order to see optimal tattoo removal results, you need approximately 4-8 treatments in 8 week intervals. This ensures that your body has time to absorb the tattoo's pigment residue and dispose of it safely. Q. Can all tattoos be removed eectively? A. Certain pigments and inks are harder to remove than others. Lighter colors are more dicult to remove because they do not absorb the laser light as easily as darker tones. That being said, most tattoos are treatable, with the excep- tion of white ink. During your pre-treatment consultation, you will be advised regarding your specific tattoo.
If you have a tattoo that you would like to be a part of your past, the tattoo removal treatment can provide you with a fast, eective and completely surgery-free solution. You are not alone, tattoo regret is incredibly common. As laser technology is improving, so is the demand for tattoo removal.
