Youthful Face
Line Fillers
As we age, our faces and bodies feel the effects of sun exposure, leaving us with the potential for wrinkles and sun damage. With years of smiling, chewing, and frowning, the subcutaneous tissues break down and can lead to frown lines, smile lines, and creases over prominent parts of the face. With the use of Botox and other facial fillers such as Juvederm and Restylane, we have the ability to eliminate those wrinkles temporarily and fill in lines and creases, restoring a much more youthful appearance. These procedures often enhance the effects of other facial rejuvenation procedures including micropeels and laser treatments.
Botox
As we grow older, our faces start to show age in the form of lines and wrinkles. Fortunately, today there are affordable and virtually painless ways to look younger without surgery. Botox® Cosmetic is a simple, nonsurgical, physician-administered treatment that can temporarily smooth moderate to severe frown lines between the brows in people from 18 to 65 years of age.
One 10-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. Botox® is most effective on frown lines, crow's feet and forehead creases. It works by relaxing facial muscles that cause the brow to furrow. Our treatments can usually be done in about an hour in our comfortable rejuvenation center, with minimal or no discomfort. You can return to work with no recovery time. There are virtually no side effects. The results last from four to six months (individual cases may vary). Botox® is one of the most affordable and effective ways to smooth wrinkles that exists today.
Restylane
While the name Restylane® may not be as familiar as Botox®, since 1996 it has been used to successfully treat over 3 million people in over 70 countries worldwide. It is made in Sweden, a country known to promote health, nature and beauty.
Restylane® maintains youthful appearing skin with a gel based from a natural substance called hyaluronic acid, a dermal filler that actually binds with water molecules. This allows it to keep its shape for up to six months. It gives natural volume in your skin to lift and produce new firmness, resulting in a healthy, vital appearance. One of the great advantages of Restylane® is that it is long-lasting, but not permanent. With Restylane®, you will always have the option of continuing or changing the combination of treatments. A follow-up can be performed at any time you like after the previous treatment.
Juvederm
Juvederm™ is a "next-generation" filler. It is made from hyaluronic acid-a naturally occurring substance in your skin that helps to hydrate and add volume. Hyaluronic acid may diminish with age, contributing to the formation of wrinkles and folds. Juvederm™ injectable gel works to correct this by restoring hyaluronic acid in your skin, helping to smooth wrinkles and folds.
Hyaluronic acid dermal fillers like Juvederm™ injectable gel offer a safe and effective nonsurgical option for smoothing facial wrinkles and folds. In fact, they are the fastest growing nonsurgical aesthetic procedure in the United States according to the American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery.
Juvederm™ injectable gel is available in two formulations- Juvederm™ Ultra for versatility in contouring and volumizing facial wrinkles and folds, and Juvederm™ Ultra Plus, a more robust formulation for volumizing and correcting deeper folds and wrinkles. This allows your healthcare professional to tailor treatment to meet your unique needs.
Intense Pulsed Light (IPL)
Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) technology improves the appearance of photoaged skin, removes age spots (sun-induced freckles), most benign brown pigments, and redness caused by broken capillaries through a process called photo rejuvenation for face and body. The process is ideal for patients with active lifestyles because the procedure requires no downtime and has a low risk of side effects. The gentle, non-ablative treatments use broad spectrum light to treat the face, chest, neck and hands-virtually anywhere that sun damage shows.
Several appealing qualities of IPL Skin Treatments using Photo rejuvenation which result in very high levels of patient satisfaction. The treatment is quick, gentle and non-invasive. There is no interruption of routine activities. By helping to remove the age spots (sun-induced freckles) and broken capillaries, the result is overall more even, luminous, younger looking skin. Patients can see dramatic results within a very short time.
Microdermabrasion and Chemical Peels
Chemical Peel uses a chemical solution to improve and smooth the texture of the facial skin by removing its damaged outer layers. It is helpful for those individuals with facial blemishes, wrinkles and uneven skin pigmentation.
Microdermabrasion is a skin-freshening technique that helps repair facial skin that takes a beating from the sun and the effects of aging. It is a skin rejuvenation procedure that uses very fine crystals to gently remove the outer layers of your skin. This will allow smoother, softer skin to reach the surface. This process can reduce or even erase your fine lines and wrinkles, age spots and scars.
A Micropeel will improve your skin texture, color, and overall appearance as well as decrease the apparent size of your pores. This procedure is a combination of a superficial chemical peel and microdermabrasion which will produce excellent results.
