Fine lines, wrinkles, odd pigmentation – as soon as you hit your thirties, these skin imperfections appear as if by magic.

Thankfully, growing old gracefully no longer means resigning yourself to the fate of looking older than you feel. Instead, new technologies are making it possible to improve the look and feel of your skin, without the pain of surgery.

Skin Renewal is always ahead of the game when it comes to cutting-edge aesthetic technologies, which is why they’ve recently acquired five new Cutera Xeo laser and light-based systems for their branches in Durban, Willowbridge, Claremont, Constantia, and Cape Quarter.

The Cutera Xeo is customisable, and can be used to deliver a number of game-changing treatments.

Let’s take a closer look at what these miracle machines do:

Nd: YAG Laser

I think we’d all like to live in a world where shaving is no longer necessary. The Cutera’s Nd: YAG laser is not only great for removing spider veins, but also permanently removes hair on the face and body.

Laser Genesis

You can achieve that near-perfect skin you’re after with treatments that include Laser Genesis. The treatment is suitable for all skin types, and tackles myriad concerns including acne scarring, enlarged pores, fine lines and wrinkles, and stretch marks.

It can also reduce dark spots and discolouration by heating up the epidermis and breaking the unwanted pigment into smaller particles.

Limelight 

The Limelight Facial is a new, non-invasive approach to skin rejuvenation which can be customised for different skin tones and ageing skin conditions. The result is an exceptionally effective skin rejuvenation treatment with minimal discomfort.

Pearl Fusion 

Pearl Fusion is a combination of the Pearl Resurfacing and Pearl Fractional technologies. Pearl Resurfacing provides full epidermal renewal, improving pigment texture, pore size and fine lines. Pearl Fractional provides fractional ablative treatments for deep wrinkles, acne scars and sun damage – plumping and firming the skin to create a more youthful look. Together, these treatments offer a unique solution for deep and full coverage.

Acutip

If you struggle with sunspots or sun damage, this treatment is for you. Acutip is a light technology that replaces liquid nitrogen to treat individual sun spots without the risk of the scarring or hypo-pigmentation that occurs with traditional cryotherapy. With its unique design, the Cutera Acutip uses light energy, safely and effectively, to treat individual sun spots and small spider veins.

Titan

You can’t fight gravity, right? Wrong. You can tighten up your skin with Titan, which uses infra-red light technology to heat up the deeper layers of the skin, causing the collagen and elastin to contract. The result is firmer, more youthful skin. Over time the device also encourages the production of collagen, so you’ll have firmer skin, for longer.

As we get older, we all have a checklist of things that we wish we could improve. If one of the things on that list is your skin, then it’s likely that these powerful new Cutera Xeo machines can treat whatever is bothering you.
