No. Laser treatment in most laser clinics in California are typically conducted by a Registered Nurse. Most laser procedures are routine for well-trained RN’s and it is not necessary that they be performed by a physician. At Elyssium, we have a Physician Medical Director who has created our treatment protocols and therapeutic regimens and oversees clinical activities. She also provides extensive training to all Elyssium staff. In fact, Elyssium is becoming known for it’s advanced training programs in laser and medical esthetics. Our Medical Director is always available to consult with our laser specialists and will evaluate and treat clients as appropriate. Many laser clinics have minimal or no physician involvement. We encourage you to inquire about physician medical director involvement at any laser center you are considering. A physician medical director is a requirement of all laser centers in the state of California. Any laser center should be able to give you their doctor’s information (name, specialty, board certification, etc.) , describe their level of involvement, and explain their protocol in the event that there is an adverse reaction or complication.

California law requires that a laser specialist hold at least the degree of Registered Nurse (RN) (in other states, estheticians are allowed to perform these procedures). All RN’s at Elyssium have gone through extensive training under our medical director and are highly skilled and experienced.

Elyssium has been in business since December 2004. However, our Medical Director has studied and trained on laser aesthetic procedures since 1999. At Elyssium we only employ highly trained and conscientious nurses to perform aesthetic treatments. Our nurses have extensive experience performing a variety of laser procedures and other aesthetic services.

The Titan works by delivering light to the deeper layers of the skin (the dermis) causing the dermis to heat up. This heating results in collagen contraction, or shrinking, which tightens the skin. At the same time, this heating stimulates the production of new collagen, causing the skin to tighten, the pores to diminish in size and an overall tighter look to the areas treated. During treatment, the top layer of the skin (the epidermis) is protected by continuous cooling through the Titan hand piece. The result is tighter skin with a dramatic decrease in wrinkles, skin laxity and stretch marks, with no downtime.

The Titan smooths and tightens skin on the face, neck, abdomen, breasts and arms. The Titan is a non-invasive way to restore natural contours, tighten and smooth the skin. The Titan tightens and thereby decreases the appearance of stretch marks on the body from childbirth or weight fluctuations.

The Titan delivers an intense but brief pulse of light, repeated over the entire area being treated. The sensation is that of heat which increases over a few seconds and then dissipates before it has a chance to feel too painful. Most patients find the procedure quite tolerable and no anesthesia is required. After the Titan procedure, most patients report a tighter, firmer feeling to the skin as well as a feeling of warmth for about 30 minutes following the procedure.

Optimal results are achieved after multiple “passes”. This is usually accomplished in three treatment sessions per half-face (or neck) spaced three to six weeks apart. Your laser specialist will advise you as to the optimal treatment regimen for you.

No. Because there is basically no reddening, swelling or scaring from this procedure, one can have the Titan performed on a long lunch hour and go right back to work without any negative signs on the skin. In fact, quite the opposite. Titan results are often instantaneous and enhance the look of the skin by the end of the procedure.

Remarkably, Titan Skin Tightening procedure reawakens and encourages long-term healthy collagen production, so even after the treatment, your skin continues to renew and replenish itself naturally. In fact, although positive result are often seen immediately after the first treatment, accelerated collagen production continues for twelve to eighteen months before reaching a plateau of steady repair work. Because the natural aging process is of course continuing, it is difficult to state precisely how long results will last, but benefits seem apparent for many years. Sun protection and meticulous skin care are necessary to maintain optimal results. Because as we age our skin contains less of the growth factors needed for collagen production, we recommend that all clients undergoing treatments to stimulate collagen production (like Titan and Genesis), use products containing skin growth factors or aid in cell repair. We will review the optimum product regimen for you at your free consultation.

The length of the Titan procedure depends on the number of passes being performed and the area being treated. Titan of the entire face generally takes about one hour per session.

Cosmetic surgery is invasive. It involves cutting and stitching as well as a recovery period during which there is generally swelling and pain. Anesthesia is required, which carries some risk. And of course there is the cost involved with surgery, anesthesia, operating room and recovery time. While the results may be quickly marvelous, they can also be tragically off the mark and irreversible. In later years, when the skin begins to sag once again, there may be a strange look to the facial features as they do not sag uniformly after cosmetic surgery. Titan repairs the skin by exciting natural mechanisms in the skin, which creates both natural results in tightening, and uniform relaxation at a much later date. As the normal aging process continues, laser can safely be repeated. With laser, skin keeps getting better over time, where with surgery there is no such mechanism.

The Perfect 10 Peel uses a unique blend of highly effective and safe acids to cause chemical exfoliation of the skin. This peel can be used on all skin types. Because it uses a blend of acids, it has maximum effects without side effects, and is safe for all skin tones.

Most patients experience significant peeling in sheets of skin. Some people prefer to stay home for a couple of days, while others do not mind going out in public. the bulk of the peeling occurs on day 3 to 5, so for those who have weekends off, Wednesday and Thursday nights are common times to have the peel performed.

Anyone who wishes to improve their skin will benefit from these peels. Those who are targeting acne scarring or pigmentation may require a series of 3 peels in addition to the proper product regimen.

It will usually be recommended that you do prep with the appropriate products for 2 to 3 weeks prior to the peel to maximize the effects of the peel and to prevent adverse events from the treatment. All post-care products can be purchased at the time of your peel.

Yes. But it is extremely important to avoid the sun (wear a hat) and wear sunscreen during the peeling process. Some people prefer to get peels done during the cooler weather to avoid this issue, however as long as proper care is taken, the peel can be performed any time of year.

The number of treatments needed depends upon the problem being addressed but usually ranges from one to three treatments spaced three to four weeks apart. Significant results are seen after just one treatment, but a series of treatments is generally required for conditions such as scarring and hyperpigmentation. Depending on the concern being addressed, your provider may recommend other treatments in conjunction with your peel, such as Laser Genesis, which may be alternated with your peel if needed.

The changes that occur in the epidermis following a chemical peel last for years, and may even be permanent. In order to maintain your results, it is critical to avoid sun damage. In the case of acne scarring, it is necessary to control further acne breakouts in order to avoid further skin disruption. Hormonal changes, sun damage and further acne breakouts may cause new pigment changes or scarring that may require repeat treatments with Perfect 10 Peel alone or in combination with other treatments.

TVi Peel of the face is generally performed in less than thirty minutes.
