picosure pro
What Is PicoSure Pro?
PicoSure Pro is an advanced FDA-cleared picosecond laser treatment designed to target unwanted pigmentation, sun damage, and uneven skin tone while also improving overall skin clarity and texture.
Using ultra-short picosecond pulses and a unique 755 nm alexandrite wavelength, PicoSure Pro delivers energy to targeted pigment with exceptional precision while minimizing unnecessary heat exposure to the surrounding skin.
At R&J Medspa in Koreatown, Los Angeles, we use the authentic Cynosure PicoSure Pro system, one of the most advanced picosecond laser platforms available today.
How PicoSure Pro Works
PicoSure Pro delivers ultra-short pulses of laser energy measured in picoseconds, which are trillionths of a second.
Rather than relying primarily on heat, these rapid pulses create a powerful photomechanical effect that breaks unwanted pigment into tiny particles, allowing the body to naturally clear them over time.
With specialized treatment settings and the Focus™ lens array, PicoSure Pro can also stimulate collagen and elastin production to improve skin texture, pores, and overall skin quality.
Not All Pico Lasers Are the Same
"Pico" refers to the speed at which a laser delivers its energy, not to one specific machine or technology.
Many different laser systems are marketed as "pico lasers," but they can vary significantly in wavelength, energy delivery, pulse characteristics, optical technology, and clinical capabilities. Simply being a picosecond laser does not mean every device provides the same treatment or results.
PicoSure Pro is a premium picosecond platform developed by Cynosure and uses its signature 755 nm alexandrite technology for precise pigment targeting.
At R&J Medspa, we believe the technology behind your treatment matters. That's why we invested in the authentic PicoSure Pro rather than simply offering a treatment under the general "pico laser" name.
Not all pico is the same. Know the technology behind your treatment.

Thermage flx
What Is Thermage FLX?
Thermage FLX is an FDA-approved, non-invasive skin tightening treatment that uses advanced radiofrequency (RF) energy to stimulate collagen production and lift sagging skin.
It helps smooth wrinkles, define facial contours, and restore youthful firmness — all without surgery or downtime.
At R&J Medspa in Koreatown, Los Angeles, we offer the latest Thermage FLX technology to deliver safe, effective, and natural-looking lifting results.
How Thermage FLX Works
Thermage FLX delivers controlled radiofrequency heat deep into the dermal layer of your skin.
This heat energy tightens existing collagen fibers and triggers the regeneration of new collagen and elastin over time.
The latest AccuREP™ technology ensures each pulse delivers precise energy for maximum comfort and consistent results.
As collagen rebuilds naturally, your skin gradually becomes firmer, smoother, and more lifted.
Benefits of Thermage FLX
-
Lifts and tightens sagging skin on the face, jawline, and neck
-
Smooths fine lines and wrinkles

XERF
What Is XERF?
XERF is an advanced, non-invasive skin tightening treatment that combines dual-frequency monopolar radiofrequency (2MHz & 6.78MHz) with continuous-motion technology to deliver effective skin tightening with exceptional comfort.
Many patients notice an immediate tightening effect after treatment, while collagen continues to rebuild over the following months for firmer, smoother, and naturally lifted skin.
At R&J Medspa in Koreatown, Los Angeles, we use the latest XERF technology to provide comfortable, natural-looking lifting without surgery or downtime.
How XERF Works
XERF delivers controlled radiofrequency energy deep into the skin, where collagen is produced. Its dual-frequency technology targets multiple tissue depths to create both immediate collagen contraction and long-term collagen regeneration.
Unlike conventional RF treatments, XERF uses a continuous-motion technique that evenly distributes heat throughout the treatment area, maximizing comfort while delivering consistent energy. As collagen continues to rebuild over the next 2–6 months, the skin becomes firmer, smoother, and more defined.
Benefits of XERF
-
Immediate skin tightening after treatment
-
Stimulates long-term collagen regeneration
-
Tightens loose skin and improves elasticity
-
Defines the jawline and facial contours

-
Longevity: Up to 1 year (with 2 treatments, 4–6 weeks apart)
-
Recommended Frequency: 2 treatments, 1 month apart, for optimal collagen remodeling and longer-lasting results

secret rf
What Is Secret RF?
Secret RF is an advanced fractional microneedling radiofrequency (RF) treatment designed to improve acne scars, enlarged pores, uneven skin texture, fine lines, and skin laxity.
By combining ultra-fine insulated microneedles with radiofrequency energy, Secret RF stimulates collagen production deep within the skin while minimizing damage to the skin's surface for faster recovery.
At R&J Medspa in Koreatown, Los Angeles, every Secret RF treatment is customized to your skin concerns for smoother, healthier, and more youthful-looking skin.
How Secret RF Works
Secret RF uses ultra-fine insulated microneedles to precisely deliver radiofrequency energy into the dermis, where collagen and elastin are produced.
This controlled micro-injury activates your body's natural healing response while RF energy remodels existing collagen and stimulates the production of new collagen.
Because the energy is delivered beneath the skin's surface, Secret RF effectively improves acne scars, enlarged pores, skin texture, and mild skin laxity with minimal downtime.
As collagen continues to rebuild over the following months, the skin becomes smoother, firmer, and healthier.
