About LuminaLUMINA was established in 2009 by Dr. Nancy Carlson Fisher. Dr. Fisher moved her women’s healthcare practice, which included laser and light-based aesthetic services, to a new setting where she could offer women’s healthcare and expanded aesthetic and cosmetic services in a unique med spa setting.
The caring staff at LUMINA utilizes their years of training to provide patients with comprehensive women’s healthcare and a full service med spa. The services offered at LUMINA will make any bride and her wedding party beautiful and healthy on that special day!!!
On-Site Make-Up Application – LUMINA features Jane Iredale Mineral Cosmetics, the most technically advanced make-up in the world. This flawless natural mineral make-up is silky, light and free of dyes, chemical preservatives and fragrance.
The staff at LUMINA provides on-site make-up application for weddings, photo-shoots and television.
Laser Hair Removal – Dr. Fisher utilizes the Cutera CoolGlide™ Laser, FDA approved for permanent hair reduction. This YAG laser is safe for patients of all skin tones including tanned and naturally dark skin.
Laser Vein Removal – Dr. Fisher uses the CoolGlide™ Laser for the treatment of facial and leg spider veins, as well as other vascular abnormalities. This non ablative and non invasive procedure removes unsightly veins quickly and with very little to no downtime.
Sun Spot Removal – The XEO IPL utilizes gentle light pulses to remove sun spots and pigmented lesions on the face, hands, chest, arms and legs. This treatment targets only pigmented imperfections, leaving normal skin unaffected.
VelaSmooth/VelaShape – This system is the only proven device with breakthrough results as it treats both the deeper tissue and the upper layers of the skin. A measurable reduction in fat layers, circumference and the appearance of cellulite occurs after a series of 6 treatments. VelaShape™ offers a non-surgical, no downtime and virtually painless treatment for the body reshaping and cellulite treatment.
CoolLipo – CoolLipo is a minimally invasive laser based procedure that breaks up and removes fat cells in small areas such as under the chin, along the bra line, in the “love handle” area or in areas with loose skin such as the arms. In addition, the unique wavelength of the CoolLipo laser system directly contracts collagen and tightens the skin from the inside out, an effect not seen with standard liposuction.
Facials & Chemical Peels – LUMINA offers a variety of relaxing, deep cleansing facials for all skin types. The facials include enzyme peels to exfoliate dead cells or steam to detoxify skin. In addition, a variety of physician applied peels are available that exfoliate and increase cellular turnover thus resulting in improved elasticity and tone.
Titan – The Titan Procedure is a safe, non-surgical process that uses an infrared light source to tighten skin and reverse the signs of aging. In addition, Titan can stimulate long-tem collagen rebuilding that leaves patients with younger appearing skin. The Titan Procedure treats lax and redundant skin throughout the body including the face, neck, abdomen, thighs and arms.
Laser Genesis – Laser Genesis provides one of the latest technologies in skin rejuvenation. Four modalities are incorporated to achieve the highest quality of skin possible. Eliminate fine lines, sun spots, scaring and improve skin tone with Laser Genesis treatments. Also, acne and rosacea outbreaks can be significantly reduced with a series of Laser Genesis procedures.
The Pearl – The Pearl procedure combines the impact of resurfacing lasers with the gentleness and safety of non-invasive procedures to treat aging and sun damaged skin. The Pearl reduces wrinkles, uneven texture and solar damage with fewer treatments and less overall recovery than other technologies to provide a healthy, pearl-like glow. The Pearl offers the most effective treatment to address fine lines, uneven texture and discoloration without wound care and the lengthy downtime required with other laser resurfacing procedures.
Microdermabrasion – A controlled stream of micro crystals is used to gently polish the skin and remove dead skin cells, oils and other buildup. This particle skin exfoliation treatment can improve many skin conditions and imperfections that lead to premature aging.
LED Photo modulation – The Gentleswaves™ LED Photo modulation Skin Fitness System is the first and only patented LED proven to reduce redness, fine lines, large pores, and turn off the enzymes that breakdown collagen. Gentleswaves™ also helps neutralize the negative effects of the sun. It is completely safe with no downtime and will help produce more radiant healthy looking skin.
BOTOX™/Dysport™ - The use of Botox™ and Dysport™ injections can successfully remove lines on the forehead, between the eyebrows, and around the eyes and mouth. These injections prevent wrinkles from appearing by relaxing the underlying muscles so they do not contract. Botox™ and Dysport™ injections are a safe and effective method for creating smooth and youthful appearing skin.
Injectables – Dr. Fisher offers a variety of injectable fillers for the treatment of fine lines and wrinkles, as well as loss of cheek and lip volume. Restylane, Perlane, Radiesse and Juvederm are among the fillers available at LUMINA.
Permanent Make-Up (Micro pigmentation) – Micro pigmentation is a non-surgical procedure during which sterile hypo-allergenic color is carefully applied into the dermal layer of the skin. This procedure is used to enhance one’s natural coloring and can be done in the brow area, around the eyes, or on the lips. In some cases permanent make-up can be used to correct scars, uneven pigmentation or facial asymmetry.
Dr. Fisher and the staff at LUMINA provide comprehensive gynecologic care including annual exams, contraceptive management, infertility evaluation, STD screening, abnormal PAP care, genetic testing and general gynecologic surgical procedures.
Acupuncture & Chinese Medicine – Traditional Chinese medicine includes the use of acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine. Chinese herbal medicine incorporates a detailed diagnostic and treatment plan that features the use of herbal formulas as opposed to single herbs. Acupuncture involves the insertion of very fine needles into specific points in the body which influences the flow of energy. This system of medicine is particularly useful for women’s health and is frequently used to treat such conditions as irregular and painful periods, menstrual migraines, infertility, emotional labiality and menopausal symptoms.
Holistic Nutrition & Lifestyle Counseling – Holistic health is an approach used to treat a person’s well being by taking into consideration all aspects of one’s life. Patients will discover how simple nutrition and lifestyle changes will help achieve weight loss, gain more energy, and maintain well being before throughout their life. Patients will also discover how simple breathing techniques can help reduce stress and anxiety in any situation. Patients will leave with a customized nutritional menu and the tools to begin their path to wellness.
