BOTOXTM Cosmetic

Commonly used to soften facial lines caused by repeated contraction of certain muscles.  These lines, which give a tired or angry appearance, are most noticeable on the forehead, between the eyebrows, and around the eyes. BOTOX? works by relaxing the muscles so that the overlying skin becomes smoother. This procedure should be repeated every 3-6 months for optimal results.

JuvedermTM

A hyaluronic acid gel used as an injectable dermal filler.  It provides smooth, long lasting correction of smile lines, frown lines and marionette lines. It is also used to plump and define lips. Juvederm contains the highest concentration of non-animal and cross-linked hyaluronic acid of any dermal filler currently available.  These unique attributes provide optimal results with a single treatment in the majority of patients.  Results  typically last up to 6 months or longer.  Juvederm is made by Allergan, the maker of BOTOXTM.

RestylaneTM/PerlaneTM

A hyaluronic acid gel used as an injectable dermal filler. It is designed to smooth lines, sculpt lips and shape facial contours.  It carries little risk of allergic reaction. The most common areas for treatment are the nasolabial folds (from the root of the nose to the angles of your mouth), the marionette lines (from the angle of your mouth to the chin) and the lines between the eyebrows. Restylane remains in your skin for 6 months or longer.

RadiesseTM

A cosmetic dermal filler that provides long lasting correction of facial lines and facial lipoatrophy. Radiesse is designed with a unique calcium based microsphere technology that stimulates the growth of new collagen. It provides an immediate fill and long term soft tissue augmentation that typically lasts for 12 months. This filler is not recommended for lip augmentation.

LASER and INTENSE PULSED LIGHT PROCEDURES:

Laser Hair Removal

A procedure providing the ultimate solution for unwanted hair. Lasers target melanin in the hair follicle, disabling it from further growth and putting an end to routine shaving, irritation and waxing.  The skin is left looking and feeling smoother.  The number of treatments depends on the thickness and darkness of individual hairs and the hairs growth cycle.  Your hair will decrease in density after each session and become lighter and finer. The most popular areas for treatment are the face, underarms, and bikini.  Five to eight treatment sessions are typically needed to permanently reduce the hair growth with periodic touch-ups for maintenance.  This treatment does not work effectively for blonde or grey hair.

Photorejuvenation

A cosmetic treatment designed to produce younger and healthier looking skin. As most of us age, we begin to see visible signs of sun damage and lifestyle choices appearing in our complexions. The skin may develop freckles, wrinkles, broken capillaries, redness, dark spots, blotchy skin color, enlarged pore size and uneven pigmentation. Photorejuvenation is the only procedure that can treat vascular redness, the appearance of rosacea, brown spots, sun damage, skin texture, and collagen structure all at once.  With the use of Intense Pulsed Light technology, dramatic improvements can now be accomplished with little downtime.  Five to six sessions are typically needed to achieve the best correction with periodic maintenance sessions.

FraxelTM Laser

A device approved by the FDA for skin resurfacing and correction of periorbital wrinkles, pigmented lesions, and melasma, is a safe, non-invasive treatment that produces a rejuvenated appearance to the skin of the face, neck, chest and hands. Thousands of microscopic, deeply penetrating treatment zones are created during each treatment session. The end result is skin with improved texture, tone, and pore size. Brown spots are minimized

and fine lines are softened. Best results are achieved with three to five sessions

spaced four to six weeks apart.

V-BeamTM

One of the most advanced lasers used to treat vascular lesions. It improves facial redness and dilated capillaries on the face and legs. Cherry angiomas can be removed and red or keloid scars can be faded. Best results may require 3-6 treatment sessions.

ADDITIONAL PROCEDURES OFFERED:

Chemical Peels

Designed remove the sun damaged outer layers of skin on the face, neck,chest, or back to smooth texture, build collagen, minimize brown spots and scarring, improve acne and reduce pre-cancerous growths to produce healthy, glowing skin.  Peel formulas and strengths are tailored to each patient.  This makes them a perfect option for those with acne, irregular pigmentation, or a dull, mottled complexion.

Microdermabrasion

A treatment using fine crystals to buff away the outermost layer of superficial skin cells, resulting in a smoother, fresher complexion. Treatments take very little time, making it a popular procedure for those with a busy lifestyle. This procedure has minimal downtime and makeup may be applied after the treatment.

Sclerotherapy

A procedure using saline injections into spider veins on the legs to irritate the lining of the vessel and cause the vein to fade or disappear. Since blood vessels are interconnected, a single injection can sometimes clear an entire patch of spider veins in 2-3 treatments. Sclerotherapy remains the treatment of choice to eradicate most superficial leg veins. Compression hosiery is typically worn 3 weeks after the injections for best results. Sequential treatment sessions are spaced 6 weeks apart.

Hyperhidrosis

The medical condition of excessive sweating.  BOTOX can be injected into the skin under the arms to reduce excessive sweating. People who find little improvement with conventional treatments for the problem can expect up to 6 months of improvement following the injections.  BOTOXTM is a purified protein that reduces sweating by blocking release of the chemical acetylcholine, which stimulates secretion of the sweat glands.
