Botox¨ Cosmetic
You may have heard the expression "wearing your emotions on your
sleeve," but in reality you wear them on your face. If you're
angry or annoyed, for example, you knit your brows together. Underneath
your skin, your facial muscles contract, cause a pleating of the overlying
skin, and then, as anyone can see, you're frowning. Botox relaxes
muscles, relieves the “frown” resulting in smoother looking
skin. A million people have been treated with BOTOX¨ Cosmetic,
it is the only treatment approved by the FDA for the temporary relief
of moderate to severe frown lines between the brows in people 18 to
65 years of age. Botox is injected with a very tiny needle. A common
misconception is that the doctor should inject every wrinkle. In fact,
Botox is used to treat the muscles causing the wrinkles, not the wrinkles
themselves. Botox is one of the most popular, safest and painless
cosmetic “mini-treatments” today. This procedure can be
done on a lunch break and requires no anesthesia or recovery. Overall,
the vast majority of patients love this "quick fix" and
return for a Botox boost as soon as the wrinkles begin to reappear!
Collagen and Restylane
Weakening the muscle action of the forehead creases, crow's feet and
frown lines with BOTOX is tremendously successful. This can not be
done around the mouth or cheeks. If these muscles were weakened, the
smile and the expressions of the face would be changed, fortunately
fillers can be used here. The most popular filler is COLLAGEN, a Bovine
(Cow) protein. Some people can be allergic to it and therefore a small
skin test and a four week wait are mandatory. If no reaction occurs,
a short office visit can result in fuller lips, smoother “smile
lines, filled wrinkles and scars, reduced smokers' lines and a reduction
in many other skin defects. If treated properly, the results can be
dramatic and last several months. Subsequent treatments require less
because some of the initial treatment usually remains. Other filler
substances are available such as Restylane and Perlane. These synthetic
fillers do not require skin testing and also may last longer than
collagen .
The Photofacial:
a revolutionary treatment with dramatic results
The Photofacial is a true photo skin rejuvenation technique, which
successfully diminishes a number of skin irregularities. Imperfections
such as large pore size, elastic skin changes, and fine wrinkling.
Freckles, age spots, and sun spots often clear after one treatment.
Other blemishes may take one to three treatments. Each session
generally lasts 15-20 minutes. Treatment involves a pulsed light,
similar to the flash of camera. You may feel a slight pinch. No
local anesthesia or pain medication is required. You may experience
some short-term side effects. These may include a slight reddening
of the skin or local swelling, which goes away within a few days.
You may return to work the same day and resume all regular activities.
You should limit exposure to the sun, and a sun block is highly
recommended.

The New Signature Laser Facial
A high level full featured spa “turn around” for younger
looking skin. Our Signature Laser Facial
for vibrant, healthy skin, the skin you thought was gone forever
will return.
Unwanted
hair concerns a surprisingly large percentage of Men and Women.
Creams, electrolysis, waxing, tweezing, shaving and other things
have been tried for decades. All have proven to be either painful,
inconvenient or ineffective.
Laser hair removal was developed in an attempt to create a painless
and permanent method for removing unwanted hair. While it is a
very successful technique that patients are happy with, it is
not yet permanent.
With our Cool Touch Laser, a cooling head protects the skin while
the Laser light passes through it to be absorbed by the hair follicle.
This is not very uncomfortable, feeling almost like a small rubber
band snap.
About 30% of our hair follicles are actively growing at any given
time. Only these are treated effectively. That is why with any
Laser Hair Removal, multiple treatments are needed.
Usually 3-6 treatments will result in a long term clearance of
about 85-90% of the hairs. In most cases the hairs that grow back
are thinner and more sparse. Treatments are repeated as needed.
This
procedure can be done on a lunch break and requires no recovery.
Laser
Vein Removal
Spider
Veins can be a very unsightly problem. While larger veins are
injected, spider veins can now be removed with a flash of Laser
Light.
All areas can be treated during one session, but more than one
session is usually required to accomplish complete removal.
Slight bruising or discoloration can occur afterwards, but usually
clears in a few days.
The procedure requires no anesthesia or recovery time and can
be done during a lunch hour.
