MICRODERMABRASION

Microdermabrasion is a skin treatment that leaves your skin smooth and renewed while enhancing the effects of your current skin care regime. A brief consultation with one of our skin care specialists will determine your individual needs, making this treatment appropriate for all skin types. This technique applies fine crystals to the surface of the skin using physician grade technology, an application that exfoliates the top layer of skin and stimulates the healthier layers underneath. A short facial massage and warm towel treatment follow. The final result is a cleaner, healthier glow to your skin. Painless, sterile, and with no downtime, this treatment can be done over a lunch hour or while on the go. Ideally, the treatment should be repeated at regular intervals to achieve optimal results.

BOTOX^® COSMETIC

One of our most popular non-surgical procedures, BOTOX ® Cosmetic is used to soften lines and wrinkles. Most common areas for treatment are between the eyebrows, the transverse lines of the forehead, the crows feet lateral to the eyes, and vertical neck bands. Several minor injections of this product to areas of concern cause temporary paralysis of the underlying hyperactive muscles; diminishing appearance of wrinkles while inhibiting the activity that caused them in the first place. The result is normal facial expression without the wrinkles and fine lines. BOTOX ® Cosmetic requires no recovery time while providing dramatic results within days. Results typically last four to five months.

OTHER INJECTABLES/FILLERS

Dermal tissue fillers are used to restore volume and fullness to skin, correcting moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds. Typical areas of treatment include nasolabial folds, vertical lines around the mouth, crows feet, depressions lateral to the mouth, scars and other surface irregularities caused from genetic makeup, aging, or damage. Several products are available depending upon the area and goals for treatment, enhancing individual results. Following consultation with our physician, the filler is injected directly into the skin in tiny amounts by a fine needle, rendering noticeable results following treatment. To optimize your comfort during this procedure, a topical numbing agent may be applied prior. This procedure is quick with minimal discomfort and requires little to no down time. Results vary with the average treatment lasting six months or longer.

LIP ENHANCEMENTS

This procedure enlarges small lips and restores youthful fullness to aging lips by the placement of a plumping material. Choice of material may vary depending upon desires and goals of the patient. Following a consultation with the physician, the appropriate product and treatment area will be determined. Both upper and lower lips are often enhanced. All measures to ensure comfort will precede the injection of FDA approved material to enhance lip folds. This technique can allow for subtle to more dramatic enhancement of the lip area improving overall appearance. With very little down time and minimal discomfort, this treatment usually lasts from four to six months.

OBAGI^® SKIN RESTORATION

The Obagi skin system incorporates the very best that medical science has to offer. Endorsed by our physician, this product line was developed to address hyperpigmentation, fine lines, and damage due to aging or the environment. The backbone of this system is Retin-A therapy enhanced with prescription strength, active ingredients for smoother, younger looking skin. This system replaces your current regime, is easy to use, and encourages beautiful, vibrant skin that was never thought possible. Our trained professionals will work with you to determine the best protocol to meet your skin care needs and complimentary clinical support is offered to all of our skin care clients. With compliance to the protocol best suited to your skin, photodamaged and hyperpigmented skin can be transformed to look and act younger and healthier. Optimum results, with regular use, are often seen within six weeks and a maintenance program allows for continued benefits with minimal effort.

The Obagi Blue Peel is one of the most popular chemical peels currently available on the market. For those seeking a more dramatic approach to skin repair, this treatment renders its best results following six to eight weeks of compliance on the Obagi skin care system. This peel is applied by our physician to evenly penetrate down to the papillary layer of the epidermis reducing acne scars, removing hyperpigmentation, and improving over all skin texture. Most patients have four to five days of downtime and recovery.

LASER PHOTO FACIAL

Laser photofacial treatments represent the latest in advances in minimal downtime treatments for combating the signs of aging and the effects of sun exposure. The application of a laser to the surface of the skin is used to reduce hyperpigmentation, small facial veins, uneven skin texture, and fine lines. The treatment can be completed in less than an hour after which you can return to your normal schedule. The skin may appear flushed for a few hours following treatment with skin appearance usually returning to normal the next day. This treatment is ideal for patients who want results but cannot find time in their schedule to recover from more invasive treatments. The benefits of the treatment lie under the skin and generally can be seen 2-3 weeks later. To see the best results, this treatment is typically recommended as part of a three treatment plan. The treatment has lasting results when paired with a good sunscreen and skin care.
