Treatment: IPL or SecretPRO
Getting rid of acne and its resulting scars can be a difficult journey. So, it is important to explore the options for treatments out there. Most notably, the best results in treating acne scars come from combining certain procedures like non-ablative laser resurfacing, Halo or microneedling treatments with surgical ones like punch grafting or subcision. Dermal fillers are also helpful in plumping and lifting indented skin while IPL or laser genesis can reduce redness or pigmentation that come with both shallow and deep acne scars. Additionally, microdermabrasion and peels can drastically improve the overall appearance and quality of your skin while helping to prevent future breakouts. So don't forget that a combination of treatments is necessary to achieve best results when addressing acne scarring!
Treatment: ThermoClear or IPL
Vascular laser treatments have become a popular and effective way of addressing vascular lesions that may be visible around the nose, eyes, cheeks and lips. Such processes as IPL, Thermoclear and Cutera's Secret Pro also offer ways to address reds and rosacea in combination with the laser treatment. This technique can effectively eliminate spider veins and superficial blood vessels while not causing any permanent damage to the skin or other tissue. The combined approach is becoming increasingly useful for targeting a range of issues related to vascular disease and giving people the confidence that comes with looking their best.
When it comes to IPL treatments, the process is quite simple. First, your skin will be thoroughly cleansed and a cool gel is applied - this helps to make the treatment more comfortable. During the treatment, light energy targeting visible blood vessels is delivered to your skin via a hand piece. Those vessels absorb the light energy, leading to their dissolution by the body – but rest assured, surrounding tissue is left unharmed! You may experience a brief stinging sensation during a vascular laser treatment which can be relieved through cool compresses. If you're feeling particularly anxious about this step, consider applying for a topical numbing agent prior to your appointment - just give yourself 20 minutes of extra time beforehand. Treatments with IPL are typically quite quick and easy - most clients report only mild discomfort! Afterwards, some redness or mild swelling on treated areas is common as well as a slight tingle; temporary bruising may even occur at times. Depending on how large or stubborn the vessels are, multiple treatments may be needed for lasting results. To get the best outcome from each session, it's strongly suggested that you keep away from sun exposure for 5-7 days pre-treatment and post-treatment - SPF45 sunscreen should also be used daily for beneficial protection against UV rays.
Treatment: Sheer & Shine, IPL or SecretPRO
Brown spots and pigmented lesions are common signs of aging skin caused by sun exposure. Melasma is a pigment disorder that shows up on the face as brown patches, which is often worsened by sun exposure. Hormones can also trigger melasma, so it is commonly referred to as “pregnancy mask” since it tends to show up during pregnancy. While in some cases melasma may go away without long-term treatments, managing it usually requires extensive skin care. Sunspots can surface at any age due to years spent tanning or unprotected sun exposure. As we get older, these brown spots on our skin become increasingly more visible and hard to ignore.
Brown spots and melasma can be difficult to manage due to the unique characteristics of these conditions. Without proper treatment, they can worsen and even turn permanent - in some cases, a Dermatologist may need to assess if there are red flag marks. Thankfully, there are plenty of treatments available depending on the type and location of the spot. Laser resurfacing, vascular laser treatments, peels, and Dermacuetric De-hyperpigmentation System are just a few options. Additionally, IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) or Secret-Pro by Cutera have proven to be the most effective solutions. Applying sunscreen with an SPF of 45 or higher is also a very important factor in preventing recurrence - your cosmetic nurse or aesthetician at Modern You can help you choose the perfect solution for your skin concerns.
Treatment: Sheer & Shine, IPL or SecretPRO
Many of us don't often think about the skin on our décolletage until it is too late! Unfortunately, as we age the skin in this area becomes thinner and takes on a crepe-like wrinkled texture, which can be further exacerbated by side sleeping – resulting in those irritating palm tree-like imprints. The good news is that there are treatments available to help with these issues. Secret Pro by Cutera, Microneedling, Radiesse filler and Dysport injections are all great options for providing texture and tightening improvements to the chest area. It is definitely worth considering to keep you looking youthful!
Treatment: SecretPRO
Hypertrophic scars can be both unpleasant to look at and uncomfortable to live with. They form as a result of excessive collagen production in tissue healing after an injury or surgery, causing firm, raised bumps that are much larger than the original wound. Thankfully, there are plenty of effective treatments available–from corticosteroid injections to laser therapy–designed to reduce their size and improve their texture so they better blend into surrounding skin. By exploring these options, you can have confidence knowing you have something that will help these scarring issues become a thing of the past.

Skin redness and rosacea are skin conditions that affect 1-10% of the population, primarily women with fair complexions between 30 and 50 years old. However, men can also be affected. Early or mild rosacea may present as an unflagging redness on the face, while in moderate stages visible blood vessels may appear, along with small pimple-like bumps. Advanced rosacea is a more serious condition that can lead to rhinophyma—a disfiguring inflammation.
Although there is no cure for rosacea, there are ways to control it. Sun exposure should be limited, and sunscreen should be worn daily. Avoiding extreme heat or cold and spicy foods should reduce symptoms, while chronic redness may respond positively to laser treatments such as vascular lasers and IPL combined with medical-grade skincare products designed to combat redness. Moderate and severe cases may require referral from a family doctor to receive prescription medications or visit a dermatologist.

While some may consider surgical options for skin tightening, we acknowledge that surgery can be costly. Instead, we offer a range of combination treatments that are effective and more affordable.

FAQ SecretPRO CO2 Laser and RF Microneedling in Burlington
Secret PRO offers multiple treatment options that work through various combinations of RF microneedling and CO2 resurfacing. Your options include:
✔️ SecretPRO Ultra Light (CO2 LIGHT LASER): Prejuvenate to prevent signs of aging or address current skin concerns like uneven texture, dull skin tone, and overall complexion quality. Reveal healthy, refreshed skin with this light laser treatment. This approach addresses photodamage on the superficial layers of the skin with a gentle, full-face fractional CO2 micropeel. You may need multiple sessions to see your best results.
✔️ SecretPRO Ultra (CO2 FRACTIONAL RESURFACING LASER): A more aggressive treatment, this targets photodamage, crepey skin, and uneven texture in a single session with CO2 resurfacing.
✔️ SecretPRO Refine (RF MICRONEEDLING): Refine and renew your overall skin quality from the inside out. This treatment uses radio frequency energy via small microneedles to address the signs of aging, scars, stretch marks, large pores, and skin quality through hemostasis and coagulation (collagen).
✔️ SecretPRO Revive (RF MICRONEEDLING & CO2 LASER): Combined RF microneedling and CO2 resurfacing for the ultimate anti-aging transformation. Our most advanced treatment – it combines both RF Microneedling and CO2 Laser technologies in the same session. This revolutionary treatment provides intense, comprehensive skin renewal.
Fractionated (CO2) lasers have revolutionized skin rejuvenation and resurfacing in recent years. At Modern You we have chosen to use the fractional CO2 laser due to its significant advantages, particularly in reducing downtime compared to older ablative options.
✔️ Fractional CO2 laser skin resurfacing: A laser creates a smoother skin surface by making micro-channels that trigger your skin’s regenerative response. It treats a fraction of the area at a time while leaving the surrounding tissue intact, allowing the skin to heal as quickly as possible.
The device offers many different customizable treatment options, which may include one or both of these approaches, depending on your goals.
SecretPRO CO2 treatment is highly effective for scar revision, including acne scars, as well as treating sun-damaged skin, hyperpigmentation, acne, blotchy skin, and deep wrinkles. It aims to provide a smoother surface and achieve a more even skin tone. This versatile treatment is suitable for various skin types, making it a favorable option for many patients.
A fractionated CO2 laser offers quicker treatment times compared to other procedures, making it an efficient option for addressing various skin conditions. It is versatile and can be applied to different body areas like the chest, arms, legs, and neck. The advanced technology leads to reduced downtime, fewer wounds, and less discomfort.
In addition, Modern You provides the flexibility to combine fractionated CO2 laser treatments with other procedures for superior anti-aging results. This may include treatments like dermal fillers or MicroneedlingRF. The combined approach enhances overall outcomes and caters to individual skin rejuvenation needs.
SecretPRO CO2 laser operates by splitting the main CO2 beam into numerous tiny beams, penetrating deep into the skin layers. These beams intentionally create multiple micro-wounds in the skin, leading to the removal of old tissue from the top layers. Alongside skin resurfacing, this laser stimulates collagen production, promoting in skin tightening during the treatment process.
Following the treatment sessions, the skin initiates its repair process, pushing out old skin while healing and replacing it with new, rejuvenated skin.
Typically, you can anticipate needing 1 to 5 (reccomended a minimum 3 sessions) to address your specific skin concerns. Compared to alternative treatments, this process is significantly faster. However, it is important to note that the number of sessions required may vary depending on the severity of the condition being treated, as well as individual differences for each treatment area.
During your prior treatment consultation, we will provide personalized aftercare sheet and kit, including skincare products and procedures.
Following the SecretPRO CO2 laser treatment, you can expect some downtime ranging from 5 to 10 days, depending on your comfort level. During this period, your skin will be visibly red and swollen, resembling a severe sunburn. Applying ice packs within the first 24 hours after treatment is recommended to alleviate discomfort. Our nurses will provide you with aftercare instructions and a kit.
Over the next 2 to 7 days, your skin may undergo peeling, and it may remain pink for several weeks as it heals. The extent of healing time correlates with the depth of the treatment, with deeper treatments requiring more time for recovery. After about 7-10 days, you should can apply oxygentix makeup (medical garde healing foundation) to your face.
Following the treatment, it's crucial to apply sunscreen diligently to protect your "fresh" skin from sun exposure, which can age the skin. The use of high-quality, broad-spectrum sunscreen is essential to avoid hyperpigmentation and maintain skin health.
Again, our professionals will provide you with top after care regiems but for peace of mind you can access our pre/post care instructions under our FAQ page.

Sheer & Shine® works by creating hundreds of thousands of microscopic treatment zones in the upper layers of the skin, which replaces damaged skin with healthy looking tissue and yields younger-looking skin.
After a Sheer & Shine® treatment, your skin will look brighter, smoother and have a youthful, more radiant glow.
You will notice improvements after your initial treatment however, for optimal results we recommend a course of 3 to 6 sessions. The effects will continue to enhance over time as the treatment stimulates collagen production resulting in improved skin elasticity, reducing fine lines and wrinkles.
You can expect to be slightly red after treatment along with slight dryness for a few days after.
Sheer & Shine can tackle a variety of skin concerns safely across most skin types (Fitzpatrick type I-IV). Its wavelength enhances overall skin quality, targeting texture, tone, wrinkles, and fine lines while providing potent exfoliation and deep hydration to promote collagen stimulation.
While single sessions are available, a series of 3-6 sessions is recommended for the best possible results.

Clear + Brilliant®
treatments at Modern You in Burlington which has become the number one laser treatment at our clinic! The innovative facial laser, created by Solta Medical. Clear + Brilliant® provides a youthful glow to the skin
without the downtime
associated with more intense laser treatments. It's the ideal high-tech solution for those seeking a rejuvenated, radiant, and youthful appearance.
Clear + Brilliant® is a type of fractionated laser, similar to our SecretPRO fractional CO2 ® dual laser. Instead of removing a whole layer of skin, it creates tiny holes in the skin to stimulate collagen production during the healing process. This results in skin rejuvenation with shorter downtime compared to stronger lasers.
While Clear + Brilliant® is not as powerful as SecretPro fractional CO2 ® dual laser, it provides gradual improvements over multiple treatments.
Clear + Brilliant® targets superficial skin layers, addressing hyperpigmentation, brown spots, and melasma. It works deep in the skin, boosting collagen to improve fine lines, large pores, and skin dullness.
During your treatment appointment, our trained laser aesthetician or nurse will begin by cleansing your face to ensure it's free from any impurities.
To ensure your comfort during the procedure, a topical numbing agent will be applied to the treatment area.
The nurse/aesthetican will then pass the laser over the treatment area in quick, pulsating motions, accompanied by a beeping sound.
You may experience a slight sensation of heat, similar to a mild sunburn, but the treatment is generally tolerable.
After the laser treatment, your skin will be cooled for about 10 to 15 minutes.
Before you leave the clinic, ZO Skin Health or AlumierMD sunscreen will be applied to protect your skin.
Clear + Brilliant® is a versatile laser facial that aims to rejuvenate the skin's appearance. It can be used for various purposes, including:
Clear + Brilliant® can also be combined with other treatments like injectables such as Botox® and fillers. During your consultation, we will discuss your specific concerns and create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs.
After a Clear + Brilliant® laser treatment, there is minimal to no downtime. You may experience mild redness and swelling on the day of the treatment, which should subside within 24 hours.
Some individuals may notice temporary flaking, roughness, or a mild acne breakout a few days or weeks after the treatment.
To avoid side effects and ensure the best results, it's crucial to apply high SPF mineral sunscreen every two hours, even on cloudy days and when indoors, for the first week after the treatment.
If you have recently tanned or have sunburned skin, or if you are using pigmenting lotions sprays (such as spray tans or self-tanners), or pregnant you will not be eligible for the treatment.
The number of Clear + Brilliant® laser treatments required may vary for each patient and can be customized accordingly. However, most individuals typically need three to six initial treatments, spaced one month apart for best results.
After the initial treatment series, routine maintenance sessions may be necessary every three to four months.
The longevity of results can vary from months to years, depending on the individual's original skin condition and response to the treatment. Proper post-treatment skin care also plays a role in maintaining the results.
Results usually start becoming noticeable one to two weeks after a treatment session, but this timeline can differ from person to person.
Unlike more aggressive treatments like CO2 SecretPRO skin resurfacing, Clear + Brilliant® is a gentler laser facial, meaning the changes with each session are subtler. As a result, full treatment series are essential to achieve the desired outcomes. During your consultation, a customized treatment plan will be designed to suit your specific skin needs and goals.
