We often use it to understand trends and what patients are increasingly interested in. This year, the procedure that tops the Google Trends List – laser hair removal.
Better still, today’s laser technology is leaps and bounds ahead of where it was even a few years back. “The biggest innovations are in versatility, speed, and pain—meaning lack of pain,” says Dr. Paul Jarrod Frank, a board-certified dermatologic surgeon in New York City. “A few years ago, it would take an hour to treat each leg—and it wouldn’t be comfortable. Now we have technologies that allow us to do a leg in 15 minutes.” What’s more, the latest cutting-edge devices, like the Motus AX, allow…
Ahh Summer! The beautiful weather, the extra time with family and friends, and unfortunately… a slow down for your aesthetic practice. For those businesses opening up post COVID-19, this summer may not see the dip in traffic as patients swarm to give their quarantined skin a pick me up…but, individuals will still be concerned about sun-exposure and tolerance for downtime is surely near zero.
In honor of Men’s Health Week, we decided to take a closer look at the most overlooked patient population in aesthetics – men. According to The Aesthetic Society, men are receiving more aesthetic treatments now more than ever, having increased the number of non-invasive procedures undergone by 20% in 2019 vs. 2018. Men are becoming […]
Millennial’s… the generation no one wants to talk about that can’t be ignored. However hard you may be rolling your eyes, millennials- are seeking out more and more aesthetic treatments. In 2018 alone, they made up 20% of all aesthetic procedures performed both surgically and non-surgically (according to the American Society for Plastic Surgery) …and this number continues to grow. If this is true, you should be asking…”why am I not seeing more “20 somethings” in my practice”.… Here’s Why:

COSMOPOLITAN: Cosmopolitan magazine senior beauty editor put the
“supposedly painless” Motus AX to the test and her experience made her a
believer. “The whole thing took 15 minutes, and guys, I’m not even kidding,
it didn’t hurt at all.” Read about the first step to her fulfilling her
hairless dreams.
ELLE MAGAZINE. “In the last several years, we’ve had lasers that are safe
for dark skin, but the limit has been efficacy,” says New York
dermatologist Paul Jarrod Frank, MD. He lauds the new Motus AX hair removal
laser as the most effective device for a wide range of skin tones – and its
virtually painless.
It’s not unusual for aesthetic practices to focus their efforts on women.
But we live in a society where looking and feeling your best does not
discriminate, and now more than ever, neither should your marketing
efforts.
MEN’S HEALTH. The popular medical procedure is more advanced than ever. The
latest technology in laser hair removal – the Motus AX – makes the entire
session completely painless, so you get the most effective treatment
without the discomfort and pain the laser would normally inflict. Dr.
Akhavan’s office uses this technology talks about this technology and why
its been so beneficial to men.
ELLE.COM. Senior Brand Editor, Kristina Radulfo, was a little jittery about
laser hair removal so she decided to start small with only one area up for
treatment, her underarms, which she’s been shaving (and dealing with daily
stubble) since she was 12 years old. “I came in specifically to try the
Motus AX, a brand new Alexandrite laser (the strongest kind), which not
only promised to work equally well for all skin tones, but be “painless.” I
was skeptical as hell. But, as soon as we got started and I braced myself
only to feel an ice cool glass comfortably running up and down my skin, I
was convinced. That’s it? It took less than five minutes and I felt ZERO
pain.”
In the world of aesthetics, the popularity of laser hair removal is nothing new. It ranks as one of the top four energy-based procedures performed by dermatologists will likely continue to grow double digits. Shockingly, however, there have been very few true advancements in the area of laser hair removal, even with the high patient demand. This is why Cartessa sought out what technologies were changing the game in other markets…and we are now bringing a fresh, never-before-seen approach to how you offer your patients their laser hair removal treatments.
