You've probably heard a little something about the field of Medical Aesthetics or have seen mention of products like Botox, Juvederm or Restylane. But, you may not know exactly what these products are, how they work or what they can do for you. In the field of Medical Aesthetics these products and others like them are used in procedures to provide you a unique beauty enhancement by smoothing wrinkles, correcting small facial imperfections or by giving your skin a supple lift.

Dermal Filler

This family of products help reverse the changes associated with aging. Because the goal is to return your skin to its original youthful state, dermal fillers provide you a natural appearance. Products like Restylane®, Juvederm™ and Collagen reduce or eliminate wrinkles, diminish the appearance of scars, enhance lips and replace soft-tissue volume loss.

In this gentle procedure, tiny amounts of filler are injected just below the surface of the skin to fill in lines, wrinkles and scars. And, unlike face-lifts that stretch the skin, fillers only add volume for a more natural youthful appearance. Fillers can also increase the fullness of the lips. The most common areas treated are the smile lines around the nose and mouth, fine lines above the mouth, frown lines between the eyes and acne scars.

The results from temporary dermal fillers are instant and can last 6 -8 months.

Botox

Botox is a simple, non-surgical, physician-administered treatment that can temporarily smooth moderate to severe frown lines between the brows. It is the only treatment of its type approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

Botox is a purified protein produced by the Clostridium botulinum bacterium, which reduces the activity of the muscles that cause those frown lines between the brows to form over time. It reacts by relaxing the muscles, eliminating frown and expression lines. One 20-minute treatment—a few tiny injections—and within days there's a noticeable improvement in moderate to severe frown lines between the brows, which can last up to 4 months.

Spider Veins

Spider veins can be treated with sclerotherapy. Sclerotherapy is a simple and painlessprocedure. Veins are injected with an agent, which causes them to collapse and fade from view. The introduction of sclerosing agents that are mild enough to be used in small veins has made sclerotherapy predictable and relatively painless method for removing spider veins.

Chemical Peels

PCA Professional Products help reduce the depth of surface lines, smooth rough skin texture, treat skin discoloration and redness, and assist in clearing acne/blemished skin. The naturally occurring alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs), beta hydroxy acids (BHA), retinol and trichloroacetic acid (TCA) found in PCA Professional Products loosen dead cells from the skin's surface, revealing new, healthy cells. The result? Smooth, radiant, glowing skin. We will create a customized treatment plan that will address your personal skin care needs.

IPL Skin Treatments using Photorejuvenation

Photopneumatic Therapy or IPL is a breakthrough aesthetic treatment that uses a revolutionary combination of pneumatic energy and broadband light. Our IPL treatment system is clinically proven and painless. IPL treatments are highly effective for the treatment of unwanted hair, pigment and unslightly veins.

With IPL energy is concentrated in the unwanted targets, thereby destroying them without compromising surrounding normal tissue. A “pulling up” motion gently lifts a small amount of the treatment area into a specially designed hygienic treatment tip. Targets such as unwanted hair, pigments and unsightly veins are lifted and brought closer to the skin’s surface. When therapeutic light is applied, the light is converted to a gentle heat energy which is absorbed by the target. The energy applied is concentrated in the target to be destroyed, protecting the surrounding normal tissue. Skin is then instantly returned to its normal position and the treatment handpiece is moved onto the next treatment area.
