New Generation of Laser Treatments to Be Explained at Free Seminar

FORT MYERS, Fla. - Feb. 12, 2015 - PRLog -- The newest generation of laser technology that will treat everything from wrinkles to cellulite and hair removal with no downtime is now available and will be explained at a free seminar conducted by facial plastic surgeon Dr. Stephen Prendiville.

The Cynasure Icon will be discussed along with other procedures for rejuvenating the face at a seminar Dr. Prendiville will conduct Friday, Feb. 27, at 11:30 a.m. at Sanibel Harbour Marriott Resort & Spa  at 17260 Harbour Pointe Drive.  A light lunch will be served. The seminar is free, but reservations are required by calling 239-437-3900.  Space is limited.

The Cynasure Icon is the most powerful non-invasive laser to date, according to Dr. Prendville.  In addition to wrinkles, the Cynasure Icon treats broken blood vessels, brown spots, pigmentation and photofacials to rejuvenate the skin.  A special hand piece (Erbium 1540) also makes it possible to treat wide scars, stretch marks and allow for non-ablative skin tightening. The non-ablative option is particularly attractive to individuals wishing to have skin tightening without downtime.

“This is the most exciting development in cosmetic laser technology in a very long time,” Dr. Prendiville said.  “We have offered Intense Pulse Laser (IPL) therapy since it was first introduced, but nothing is as powerful as the new Cynasure Icon or offers so many different treatments with one machine.”

Laser resurfacing is not a substitute for a facelift, Dr. Prendiville cautioned, but is a gentler non-invasive approach that leaves the skin intact and requires no downtime.

The new Cynasure Icon is one of the topics that Dr. Prendiville will discuss at his “All About Face” seminar.  Using before and after pictures of actual patients, Dr. Prendiville also will discuss the latest advances in facelifts, eyelid lifts, nose surgery, lasers, and reconstructive surgery.  He also will review injectable wrinkle fillers Botox®, Sculptra®, Juvederm®, Restylane®, Restylane Silk®, Radiesse® and Voluma®.

In addition to a light lunch, attendees will be able to make an appointment for a free consultation with Dr. Prendiville.
