Welcome to Berkshire Aesthetics, where advanced technology and expert care come together to provide unparalleled results in skincare. Our clinic is proud to offer laser treatments using two of the most sophisticated platforms available today: the Lumenis M22 and the Cutera Excel V+. These devices represent the pinnacle of laser treatment technology, delivering exceptional outcomes for a wide range of skin conditions and aesthetic concerns. In this comprehensive guide, we’ll explore the capabilities of each laser system, their benefits, and how they can help you achieve radiant, healthy-looking skin.
Laser treatments have revolutionized the field of aesthetic medicine by offering precise, non-invasive solutions for various skin concerns. Whether you are dealing with pigmentation issues, vascular lesions, or skin texture concerns, laser treatments can provide targeted results with minimal downtime. By using focused light energy, laser systems can stimulate natural skin rejuvenation, reduce imperfections, and enhance your overall complexion.
At Berkshire Aesthetics, we understand that every patient is unique, and our approach is personalized to address your specific needs. Our state-of-the-art laser systems, the Lumenis M22 and Cutera Excel V+, allow us to customize treatments for each individual, ensuring effective results that are safe and comfortable.
The Lumenis M22 is an industry-leading multi-application platform that integrates multiple technologies to address a wide range of skin conditions. This versatile system allows us to treat various concerns with remarkable precision and effectiveness. Here are some of the key features and applications of the Lumenis M22:
The Lumenis M22 incorporates advanced Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) technology, also known as Photorejuvenation. This treatment is highly effective for addressing pigmentation issues, sun damage, and vascular lesions. IPL works by delivering controlled bursts of broad-spectrum light to the skin, which targets areas of discoloration while leaving surrounding tissue unaffected. Over time, the treated areas fade, revealing a more even and youthful complexion.
Treats Hyperpigmentation: The IPL handpiece targets pigmented spots such as age spots, freckles, and melasma, effectively breaking down the excess melanin to create a more uniform skin tone.
Reduces Redness and Rosacea: IPL can reduce the appearance of redness, including conditions like rosacea, by targeting dilated blood vessels beneath the skin’s surface.
Improves Skin Texture: In addition to treating pigmentation and redness, IPL helps improve overall skin texture and radiance by stimulating collagen production.
Non-Invasive and Minimal Downtime: IPL is a gentle treatment that requires no incisions and involves little to no downtime, making it ideal for patients looking for quick and effective results.
The Lumenis M22 is also equipped with the ResurFX fractional laser, which is used for skin resurfacing and rejuvenation. Unlike traditional ablative lasers, the ResurFX is non-ablative, meaning it works beneath the skin’s surface without damaging the outer layer. This technology promotes collagen regeneration and enhances skin elasticity, making it an excellent choice for individuals looking to improve skin texture, reduce fine lines, and minimize acne scars.
Stimulates Collagen Production: ResurFX stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, which helps in the repair and renewal of skin cells.
Minimizes Scars and Wrinkles: This treatment is effective for reducing the appearance of acne scars, surgical scars, fine lines, and wrinkles, leaving the skin smoother and more youthful.
Customizable Treatment: The fractional laser allows for customization, with multiple parameters that can be adjusted to meet each patient’s needs, providing a bespoke solution for various skin concerns.
The Lumenis M22 also features an Nd laser that is ideal for treating deeper vascular lesions, including leg veins, facial veins, and angiomas. The laser energy targets and collapses blood vessels, reducing their appearance and leaving the skin looking clearer and more even-toned.
Safe for All Skin Types: The Nd wavelength is safe and effective for all skin types, making it a versatile treatment option.
Effective for Deep Vascular Lesions: It can treat deeper veins that are not accessible with IPL, making it an excellent choice for patients with more significant vascular concerns.
The Cutera Excel V+ is another advanced laser platform that offers targeted solutions for vascular and pigmentation concerns. The Excel V+ combines two powerful laser wavelengths (532 nm and 1064 nm) to address a broad spectrum of skin conditions with remarkable precision.
The Cutera Excel V+ is particularly well-known for its ability to treat vascular lesions, such as broken capillaries, spider veins, and facial redness. The system uses a high-powered green laser to target blood vessels, heating them until they collapse and are naturally reabsorbed by the body. This approach is highly effective for reducing visible veins and improving skin clarity.
Rosacea: Excel V+ is a top choice for treating the persistent redness associated with rosacea. The laser targets the dilated blood vessels, reducing redness and flushing.
Spider Veins: Spider veins, which are small clusters of visible veins near the skin’s surface, can be effectively treated with the Excel V+, leaving the skin looking clearer and more even.
Cherry Angiomas: These benign red growths are composed of small blood vessels and can be treated quickly and effectively using the Cutera Excel V+ laser.
One of the standout features of the Excel V+ is the Laser Genesis treatment, which is designed for overall skin rejuvenation. Laser Genesis uses micro-pulses of laser energy to gently heat the dermis, which stimulates collagen production and promotes healthy skin cell turnover. This treatment is an excellent choice for improving skin tone, reducing pore size, and achieving a natural, radiant glow.
Stimulates Collagen Production: Laser Genesis promotes collagen growth, leading to smoother, firmer, and more youthful-looking skin.
Reduces Fine Lines and Wrinkles: This gentle laser treatment helps minimize the appearance of fine lines, making it ideal for patients seeking subtle anti-aging benefits.
Non-Invasive and Comfortable: Laser Genesis is a non-invasive, comfortable treatment that requires no downtime, allowing patients to resume their regular activities immediately.
The Cutera Excel V+ also excels in treating pigmentation concerns, such as age spots, sunspots, and melasma. The 532 nm wavelength effectively targets pigmented areas, breaking down excess melanin and leaving behind a more even complexion.
Targets Sun Damage: The Excel V+ laser can effectively address sun damage, including brown spots and uneven pigmentation, restoring a brighter, more youthful skin tone.
Safe for Most Skin Types: The Excel V+ can be safely used on a wide range of skin types, providing effective pigmentation correction with minimal risk.
At Berkshire Aesthetics, we believe that each patient’s skin is unique, and therefore requires a personalized approach. During your consultation, our skilled practitioners will assess your skin concerns, medical history, and desired outcomes to create a bespoke treatment plan tailored to your needs. By utilizing the capabilities of both the Lumenis M22 and Cutera Excel V+, we can address multiple skin concerns in a comprehensive manner.
In some cases, combining treatments from both the Lumenis M22 and Cutera Excel V+ can yield optimal results. For example, patients with both pigmentation and vascular concerns may benefit from IPL therapy followed by targeted vascular laser treatment. This combination approach allows us to address multiple concerns in one treatment plan, leading to faster and more noticeable improvements.
Your comfort and safety are our top priorities at Berkshire Aesthetics. During your laser treatment session, you will be made comfortable in our state-of-the-art treatment room. Protective eyewear will be provided to shield your eyes from the laser light, and a cooling gel or air cooling system may be used to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure.
Laser treatments typically take between 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the size of the area being treated and the specific concerns being addressed. Most patients describe the sensation as a mild snapping or warming, but our practitioners can adjust the settings to ensure your comfort.

Our team will provide you with detailed aftercare instructions to ensure optimal healing and results.

Results from laser treatments are often visible within a few weeks, with continued improvement over time as collagen production increases and pigmentation fades. Depending on your skin concerns and treatment goals, multiple sessions may be recommended to achieve the best possible results.
