Aesthetic & Medical Dermatology
Here at the Z Skin Center we utilize a combination of ground breaking medications, therapies and technologies to assist in correcting unsightly skin disorders and the effects of aging.
We believe in not only treating our patients for specific skin conditions, but educating on the causes of specific skin conditions and how to prevent them from re-occuring if possible.
We take pride in providing our patients with results that help them look and feel the way they deserve.
Fractional Laser Treatments
Palomar developed and patented Fractional Photothermolysis to create a revolutionary treatment: soft tissue coagulation and non-ablative skin resurfacing with high efficacy and no downtime.
The Palomar Lux 1440 Fractional™ Laser Handpiece delivers light in an array of high precision microbeams. These microbeams create narrow, deep columns of tissue coagulation that penetrate well below the epidermis and into the dermis, while sparing the tissue surrounding the columns from damage.

Deep Penetration for Best Results
The Palomar Lux 1440 microbeams penetrate deeper (up to 1 mm) than other devices. These deep columns of coagulated tissue initiate a natural healing process that accelerates the formation of new, healthy tissue. Coagulated cellular debris is expelled as the skin is resurfaced.
Throughout the process, the integrity of the stratum corneum is maintained, which protects the tissue from infection as it heals. The result: faster dermal remodeling and skin resurfacing.

High Efficacy, No Downtime
The Palomar Lux 1440 offers greater energy per microbeam, and greater depth of penetration (up to 1 mm) than any competing device. This stimulates quick healing within the surrounding deep tissue for the most effective deep corrections and long-term dermal remodeling obtainable. In addition, the Lux 1440 delivers uniform microbeam penetration, a consistency that can’t be matched by systems that use a scanning approach.
Speed and Convenience
The Palomar Lux 1440 does not require anesthesia, dye application, or an elaborate cooling process.
Safety and Comfort
The Palomar Lux 1440 delivers its microbeams in one short pulse at a time with active contact cooling. Lux 1440 treatments are significantly more comfortable than systems that deliver beams over longer periods of time. It is Dr. Zanelli himself who administers ALL Lux 1440 Laser treatments at the Z Skin Center for Aesthetic & Medical Dermatology.
+Lux 1440 is FDA cleared for soft tissue coagulation. 510(k) submitted for skin resurfacing.
