Laser and Aesthetic Services
The laser and aesthetic procedures currently performed by MAC are:
Medlite C6™ Laser Treatment
This laser is used to treat hypopigmented skin problems such as vitiligo, pale scars and stretchmarks.
MiXto SX CO2 Fractional Laser Treatment
MiXto SX Fractional CO2 laser can be used to smooth out lines, wrinkles and scars, remove brown spots and other irregularities, and to tighten the skin. With fractional laser treatment, only a fraction of the skin’s surface is treated by the laser, leaving ample islands of untouched skin. This technique makes the healing process much faster and enables a patient to get back to normal activities sooner.
Filler Injection / Sculptra (Poly-L-lactic acid)
Fillers are purified substances injected into skin to improve the appearance of deep lines, provide fullness or correct depressed scars. Sculptra is a semi-permanent filler composed of polylactic acid which is used to treat facial lipoatrophy and restoration of facial contours and a youthful appearance.

Botulinum toxin is a purified protein injection to cause temporary weakening of the muscle. It is used to reduce dynamic wrinkles such frown lines, crow's feet as well as excessive sweatiness of the underarms.
Carbon Dioxide Laser Treatment
