Cynosure Icon Laser & IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) Platform
This high-demand device supports a large variety of unique handpieces to treat everything from unwanted hair to fine lines and wrinkles on the skin.
The Icon has the ability to use both Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) and laser technology, as well as featuring the very first “live melanin reader” to keep treatments as safe as possible.
With the industry-leading IPL handpieces, you can treat everything from unwanted hair to pigmented or vascular lesions.
This device was developed with safety and efficacy in mind and provides users the confidence they need and the results patients desire for multiple applications.
The 1540 fractionated non-ablative resurfacing treatment utilizes two different handpieces, which allows you to customize your treatment to target specific skin concerns.
The XF is appropriate for fine lines and wrinkles with overall resurfacing of the skin, while the XD will reach deeper to target scars, such as acne scars or even stretch marks.
The fractional technology uses energy microbeams to create areas of affected tissue that extend through the epidermis deep into the dermis.
This triggers the body’s natural healing process to produce new, healthy collagen. This process results in younger, smoother-looking skin.
With this advanced IPL and laser technology, the Icon can treat almost any skin condition on nearly every skin type.
Radio Frequency Skin Rejuvenation Unit V20 by Sinclair
The V20 platform Skin Rejuvenation Unit by Sinclair features a combination of cutting-edge radiofrequency and Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) technology with three radiofrequency handpieces, each aimed at treating different skin conditions.

Matrix Pro Radio Frequency Microneedling System by Candela
Microneedling creates controlled micro-injuries in the skin, stimulating collagen production.
When combined with Radio Frequency energy, the heat generated further amplifies the collagen-inducing effects.
This synergy leads to more robust and pronounced skin rejuvenation results compared to standalone treatments.
The Matrix Pro Radio Frequency Microneedling System by Candela was designed to correct, maintain, and restore skin at various stages of the aging journey.
This multi-application microneedling machine features the all-new Matrix Pro, Sublime, and Sublative RF applicators to deliver customized treatments based on patient needs.
The Matrix system is designed to resurface the skin and treat wrinkles, all while creating volume and strengthening skin structure.
This first-of-its-kind system is uniquely equipped with impedance monitoring and Depth Intelligence technology allowing the system to provide real-time feedback that allows the user to deliver consistent results to their clients.
Exceed Microneedling Device by Candela
Microneedling, known as collagen induction therapy (CIT), is a non-surgical treatment that uses very fine, short, sterile needles to create tiny punctures in the skin, prompting the skin’s natural wound-healing process, which leads to the production of new, healthy collagen.
This makes it the perfect treatment for many skin conditions, such as fine lines and wrinkles, acne scarring, and skin texture issues, and even diminishes the appearance of pores while minimizing risks such as hyperpigmentation that have sometimes been associated with other anti-aging treatments.
The Exceed utilizes a special “tilting plate” that adapts to the surface of the skin. This ensures consistent results from perpendicular needle penetration and provides ease of access to the more difficult-to-reach areas, such as around the nose.
The Exceed not only provides consistent results but also provides a very comfortable treatment.
SkinPen Microneedling Device
Microneedling pens create hundreds of microscopic channels in the dermis to stimulate the skin’s natural production of new collagen and elastin, helping the skin to look and feel healthier.
When moving the device across the skin, microneedling pens can cycle at 100+ stamps/second, potentially creating 1600+ micro channels per second.
SkinPen by Crown Aesthetics was the first FDA-approved microneedling pen on the market, setting the industry standard for safety.
With 14 needles on each cartridge, SkinPen provides a quick and easy microneedling treatment for every person.
Microneedling devices cause controlled micro-injuries that stimulate the body’s natural wound-healing process. The micro-injuries trigger the release of cytokines and growth factors that lead to the remodeling of collagen and elastin.
Typical results from this service can include reducing the signs of aging, skin texture, fine lines, and wrinkles. It also can be used to improve the appearance of acne scarring.
Alex TriVantage Tattoo and Pigmented Lesion Removal System
The Alex TriVantage is a laser system that removes tattoos and treats pigmented lesions such as sun and age spots, freckles, moles, and birthmarks.
This laser treatment reduces or removes the signs of aging for patients bothered by the appearance of prominent birthmarks or pigmentation from aging or sun exposure.
The Alex Trivantage Q-switched alexandrite laser from Candela utilizes three different wavelengths (532nm, 744nm & 1064m) to safely and effectively treat all known treatable tattoo colors and pigmented lesions.
The laser system is among the safest and most effective laser pigment removal systems available because it has the unique ability to target and eliminate only the tattoo or lesion pigment while leaving the surrounding skin unaffected.
ElysPreime Dermafacial Advanced Aesthetics Facial Device
The Preime Dermafacial system features five different technologies, with multiple protocols in one machine and an intelligent skin management platform designed to ensure consistent results and client satisfaction.
Every handpiece targets a different layer of the skin, giving you endless options for customizable treatments.
Aqua B. Merges high-tech spiral movement with vacuum technology and a combination of three special serums. This handpiece will cleanse, hydrate, and prepare the skin for the next step in any facial procedure.
Vibrox. A vibrating handpiece featuring red light therapy for enhanced healing and collagen production. The special serums combined with the vibrating handpiece give you what is called a “co2 microdermabrasion,” resulting in oxygenation of the skin.
You have two different options for “tips” on this handpiece- a massage tip that will give you more of a relaxing, traditional facial type of experience or an exfoliating tip, which can be used to achieve a deeper exfoliation.
Micro T. A bi-polar microcurrent handpiece for supporting muscle toning in the jawline, cheekbones, and above and below the brow.
Collagen +. A dual bi-polar radiofrequency device that evenly heats tissue up to 39-42 degrees Celsius to stimulate the neocollagenesis process. When heating the tissue to these temperatures, we are inducing optimal thermal damage to stimulate the natural wound-healing process, which results in the production of collagen in the skin.
Ultra B-. The last step in any treatment with the Preime is designed to drive ingredients deeper into the skin. Using ultrasound technology to open up microchannels within the skin, waving this handpiece over the special serums containing panthenol and hyaluronic acid will enhance product penetration, leading to improve moisture retention of the targeted skin.
Elysion-Pro Laser Hair Removal System by Sinclair
The Elysion-Pro works with an advanced new standard of energy in esthetic medicine. By performing with both Diode and Ultra-Short Pulse energy, the Elysion-Pro is able to combine the most effective treatments for hair removal with no discomfort or risk of damage.
The device can generate a large amount of energy in a short period of time. This makes it possible for the laser to remove hair in a single pass, making it easier on your skin than other systems.
During laser hair removal, the Elysion diode laser emits targeted light energy that is absorbed by the melanin in the hair follicle. The light energy is converted to heat, destroying the hair follicle and preventing further growth for six to eight months.
The Elysion-Pro system has multiple cooling channels designed to keep your skin cool during your sessions, allowing the laser to work with maximum precision.
The Elysion-Pro features a long 810nm wavelength, making it the perfect option for hair removal on any skin type, including on the darker Fitzpatrick scale.
The combination of this longer wavelength, the ability to work in either static or dynamic mode, and the “crystal freeze” tip make this one of the safest options for laser hair removal on the market.
The ability for this device to go up to 3hz in static mode and up to 15hz in dynamic cuts treatment times in half.
The Elysion-Pro is also the most versatile treatment system on the market today and can be used to target any area of the body with ease.
With this system, you can treat your face, underarms, bikini line, and even intimate areas like the Brazilian wax region.
Elysion is also FDA-approved and has been clinically tested to ensure that it will not cause any skin damage or discomfort during your treatments.
Optic Slim
Aesthetic Imaging Skin Analyzation Machine
The mobile, lightweight, all-in-one imaging platform for skin analysis. It includes an attached 10-inch Android tablet with analyzing speeds at 30 seconds, offering ten indication readings with LED-powered RGB, UV, and PL Filters.
The Optic Slim device utilizes more than ten different skin indications to best provide the most accurate recommendations for client facial care.
These areas of indication include pores, blemishes, wrinkles, texture, UV porphyrins, UV pigmentation, UV moisture, sensitive skin areas, brown areas, UV damage, skin aging simulation, and result simulation.
DiamondGlow Microdermabrasion Device
The DiamondGlow is a microdermabrasion treatment device that uses a combination of exfoliation, extraction, and infusion.
This simple, quick, and painless cosmetic treatment has minimal downtime and risk. It helps to exfoliate surface layers of skin using abrasion and gentle suction.
The handpiece exfoliates the surface to uncover renewed skin underneath. The vacuum technology assists in extracting to cleanse the skin and remove debris from the pores deeply, all while also infusing the skin with one of SkinMedicas nourishing pro-infusion serums.
Unlike traditional wet facial serums, which rely on chemical exfoliation to treat the skin, DiamondGlow’s patented recessed diamond tip wand delivers a next-level resurfacing treatment that deeply cleanses and rejuvenates the skin.
The DiamondGlow dermabrasion device has a unique wand that uses a diamond tip to gently remove dead skin cells on the outer layer of your skin.
The diamond tip exfoliates the skin, while high-powered suction deeply cleans your pores.
As the handpiece moves across your skin, it simultaneously exfoliates, extracts impurities, and infuses serum into your skin.
There are six diamond tips to choose from, and each one is designed for a specific skin type and texture. You’ll also choose from five different serums designed to target specific skincare concerns:
Pore clarifying. An ideal treatment for acne-prone skin that deep cleans pores to promote clearer skin.
Ultra-hydrating. Infuses your skin with hyaluronic acid to boost hydration and promote smooth, soft skin.
Skin brightening. This serum is rich in peptides to promote a smooth, even skin tone and improve hyperpigmentation.
Vitamin C. Helps fight the signs of aging with a blend of antioxidants to rejuvenate your skin.
TNS Advanced+. This serum improves the tone and texture of your skin and reduces the appearance of lines and wrinkles.
These options make your treatment fully customizable based on your unique skin type and cosmetic goals.
